Work Center: Capacities vs Scheduling tab

Hi everyone,
I am confused on the link between Capacities tab and Scheduling tab when setting up the Work Center. When I run MRP and set it to Lead time scheduling and capacity planning, which figures (for setup, processing, teardown, etc time) are used for the calculation of start/finish basic date and start/finish production date? Is it the figures (setup, processing, teardown, etc time)from Capacities tab OR Scheduling tab in the Work Center? What is the link between Capacities and Scheduling?
Also, in Scheduling tab, there is also capacity category which you have to input. Is this also linked back to all the capacity category stated in the Capacities tab? If we have more than 1 capacity category which do we choose to set in Scheduling tab?
I would be very grateful for any input.
Thank you very much.
Cheers,
Sue

Hi,
The link between the scheduling and capacity
in Capacity tab we will give the capacities of particular machine ex work center is machine so we are declaring the capacity of the machine. saying I have capacity of eating 10 chocolates that is you're capacity.
if machine is working defiantly labor will be there so we are defining the labor capacity also but for calculating the dates we are using the machine capacity only which we are defining in the scheduling tab
in the scheduling tab we are declaring that for any MRP or Production consider the capacity of the Machine for calculating the dates like start date and finished dates.
In the routing we are declaring for manufacturing of X quantity of materials we require machine time, labor time setup time etc
EX:
Machine Capacity in WC= 2 hour
Labor Capacity in WC= 2 Hr
so in the Scheduling Tab we will give machine to calculate the dates.
In routing for Manufacturing of 1 ea we require
Machine time = 1 hour
Labor time = 30 mins
Set up = 20 mins
so if you have given demand for manufacturing of 10 EA run MRP
then it will give 5 days to manufacture 10 EA because work center capacity is only 2 hour..
simple logic for manufacturing of 1 EA it takes 1 hour of machine time so for manufacturing of 10 EA it takes 10 hours but my capacity is only 2 hours per day so 10/2=5 days.
hope this may clear you're dout

Ravi

Regarding Work Center Capacities

Dear Exprts,
How many Capacity Categories Can we maintain in Work center.
Regards,
MANOJ

Dear Manoj,
How many Capacity Categories Can we maintain in Work center.
One can maintain any no of Capacity Categories in the work center, provided that you have actually defined/maintained
that no of Capacity categories in customizing.
So while creating work center you can have capacity categories like machine, person, processing unit, lab etc. as per requirements.
Revert back in case of query,

Regarding work center master creation In PP

Hi Iam Kiran working on routings and work centers creation.I want to know how the formulaes are derived for caluculating capacities,shedulling,Costing.where can I find study material regarding formulae derivation.For the above mentioned.Please respond if your having any material with respect to this content.

Hi Kiran,
Please use the following transaction to create/check the parameters & formulas,
OP17 - Create formula parameter
OP19 - Maintain standard value key. (The parameters created are entered in this standard value key & this std value key is used in the work center (CR03) basic data tab page)
OP21 - Create Formulas
These formulas are assigned in the capacity, scheduling & costing tab page in the workcenter.
This workcenter is assigned to an operation in the routing (CA03).

Why ist Pool Capacity from PP work center automatically involved

Hi, All
i use PP work center to create a PM Order.
this PP work center has machine-, labor- and pool capacity. and I add "SAP008" into field "other fomula" for labor capacity in Tab capacities.
now after I create a PM Order, when I check CM50, I can see for this PP Work center also Pool Capacity involved.
Question:
1. where comes this Pool capacity, even though I didnot set any formula in field "other formula" for pool capacity in Tab capacities?
2. for creating PM Order, do I also need add "SAP008" into field "other fomula" for machine capacity in Tab capacities?
thanks&regards

Hi Shrithar,
Do you means the time Profile in CM50.
when I check this time Profile, I see differant time interval, -Database read period
                                                                                -Evalution period
                                                                                -plannung period
                                                                                -Dispatching of backlog
is it also influencing work center capacities?
thanks&regards

Work center's description copy automatically in operation Routing

Hi all,
Could anyboy tell me where point of spro is to customize that work center's description is copied automatically in the operation Routing's description?
I try to search for it but I don't find it still.
Thanks in advance

Hi,
A suggestion:
In CA10, create a key say Z1 & give the description same as work center's description.
Now go to CR02 & for the work center in default values tab, assign the key to the field Standard Text key.
Now when you create a routing which uses this work center, the operation description will contain the work center description.

Network Activity - Timesheet: Work Center in plant does not exists

Hi All,
While doing Timesheet entry against Network and Activity in CAT2 transaction Code, I come across one scenario in which If I use copy function then one error message appears as " Work center XXXXXXX in Plant XXXX does not exists"
But same combination gets worked if I put manually and do not use copy function.
I think system checks copied entry plant with new entry Plant.
Is this system inconsistency ? If so what may be the probable solution ? OSS Note ? Exit ?
Please suggets to rectify this wrong validation message.
Many thanks in advance.
Swapnil Kharul

Hi Swapnil,
You can check following points once again.
1.Check your Network Actvity details:
Work Center/Plant : 1000/1300
Work 10 (hrs)
Activity Type :11000
DistKeyCapRqlnt:SAP020
Also Status of activity :whether it is in PCNF or CNF.
and in Network Header: check Capacity Requirements.
2.In CR02, check whether the work Center and Plant Combination.
Plant:1300
Work Center:1000
Goto Costing Tab: Note the following:
Cost Center: 4295
Actvity Type Int Proc(Bottom Field):11000
Formulae:SAP008
3.Check in KP26/27, whether Cost center has been
assigned to Activity Type for the period (or else entire Fiscal year).
Version:0
From Period:6
ToPeriod:6
Fiscal Year:2010
Cost Center:4295
Activity Type:11000
with this combination whther rate has defined or not.
Plan Actvity/Fixed Price/Variable Price
4.And also CAC2, don't hide any field in all screen Groups of your data entry profile.
Now Pl. let us know the results.(all values considered here are for your understanding)

Default employee cost center based on work center

Greetings,
How can I default an employee's home cost center in IT0001 based on their work center assignment?
I've tried linking both the employee's position and their org unit to the work center via CR02. This did create the IT1001 records. The work center does have a corresponding HR work center. I've even tried attaching a cost center to the HR work center with the IT1001-A011 relationship. No luck.
Seems like OM side is doing what it should, but we want to get the work center's cost center in the costing tab over to the employee.
Maybe there's an integration switch that I'm missing somewhere?
Thank you!

Thank you both for your thoughts. We have tried the ZXPADU0x exits, but it appears that SAP will not allow us to change an existing cost center value in IT0001 via defaults. I think this is because SAP wants to always keep OM and PA in sync, based on the A011 relationships in IT1001 on the position or org unit.
In terms of OP42, yes, we have tried adding relationships between the work center and position/org unit and also employee. And also have the cost center linked to the work center on the costing tab. But we're still not able to get that cost center to pull into IT0001.
I'm wondering if the integration between work centers and HCM is limited to relationship links on the OM side?

Long-term planning: planning details of work center capacity

Hi,
we need to know what is the effect on planned production orders (generated by MPS, transaction MD40) of the flag “long-term planning” in planning details of work center capacity (table name: RC68K; field name: KAPLPL). We made a test analyzing planned orders scheduling details in Stock requirements list (MD04) and in the Planning table (CM21) in both cases: with "long-term planning" flag set and without this flag for the same work center.
The schedule of planned production order on that work center is the same in the two instance.
Could you suggest us something?
Thank you.

PP-Diffrence between "Capacities" tab & "Scheduling" tab in work center

Dear Friends,
While creating work center in t.code CR01, i am entering the following formulae in "Capacities" tab:
1. Setup formula
2. Processing Formula
3. Teardown formula.
I am entering the same details(formulae) in the "Scheduling" tab also.
What is the difference of maintaining the formulas is two diffrerens tabs?
If i do not maintain the formula in "Scheduling" tab, How it will effect?
please explain me.
Regards
Senthil

Hi,
Thank you.
Let me consider some example.
Assume in routing i have maintained standard time as 10 min for each quantity.
My total production order quantity is 100. (Order number 300000)
So the formula in "Capacities" tab will calculate the total capacity required to complete the production order as 1000 min. Is it so?
1000 min means, 16.6 hours.
let us assume that, the particular work center has been blocked for another 83 (three and half days) hours by other production orders. So i can not start the work immeadiately. After three and half days only i can start the production order 300000.
So if i maintain the formula in "Scheduling" tab only, the system can propose the information that Planned start date as 07.09.2007 & Planned End date as 07.09.2007. (Based on the forward scheduling / backward scheduling). Is it so?

Want to remove Technical data Tab from Work Center

Hi All,
I want to remove Technical data Tab from Work Center. I have Removed ''Technical data'' Tab from Plant Maintenance and Customer Service-->Master Data in Plant Maintenance and Customer Service -->Maintenance Plans, Work Centers, Task Lists and PRTs >Work Centers>Configure Screen Sequence for Work Center.
Still I am able to see Technical Data Tab in IR01, Work center.
Is there any other config to remove the same?

This is resolved.
I have changed the config in following node as 0005 for PM
SPRO / IMG -> Plant Maintenance and Customer Service -> Master Data in Plant Maintenance and Customer Service -> Maintenance Plans, Work Centers, Task Lists and PRTs -> Work Centers->General Data->Define Work Center Types and Link to Task List Application

Scheduling - Min. queue time & work center / reduction

Hello,
I have a small issue with scheduling of production order.
I have maintained in a work center with Std. queue time = 15 days and Min. queue time = 7 days.
Means less then 7 days it should be not reduced and by enough time it should be calculated with 15 days.
I know the forward scheduling production takes 20 days ( 5 days for first operation plus 15 days Std. queue time for second operation)
By backwards I schedule the finish date which is less then 20 days in the future.
I would expect system would take 7 days (Min. queue time) instead of 15 days with using reduction strategy.
But system throws the message "Start date is in the past: today scheduling" and increases the finish date, with queue time = 15 day, instead to take
7 days!
I dont see system takes Min. queue time in account. Please help to find the error. Thansk!

Hi
Yes .Reduction strategy is only for floats to carry out detail scheduling
Reduction in the float before and after production in the order, expressed as a
percentage of the original float.
For example :
The original float before and after production was 10days in both cases. You
have entered level 2 as the maximum reduction level. The reduction of the float
is in the first level 40 and in the second level 60.
This means that in the first level the float is reduced by 40% of the
original value, that is 6 days. In the second level the float is reduced by 60% of
the original value, that is to 4 days

Work center costing tab

Hi,
Is there any user exit or FM to restrict users entering wrong cost center information, so that it triggers error while saving.
Thanks in advance.

Dear Sprint,
1.I will suggest you to make all the cost center,activity type fields mandatory for the cost center tab of the work center for work
center category 0001 or as per your business in OPFA.
2.In this case only for the activity type and cost center combination for which the rates are defined in the system using KP26 will
allow you to save the data of the work center.
3.By this atleast only for the cost centers for which rates are defined for the mentioned activity types will be allowed to save.
4.In my understanding the system checks only this assignment,check whether this can help you.

Work Schedule in HR Master Data Feeding Work Center!

Hi,
I have several questions on how work schedule in HR master data relates to the work center for capacity planning.
1. How do we assign the employee to a work center? is that in the HR master data or work center or some other transaction?
2. If we can assign an employee to a work center, how the work schedule in the HR master data feeds the work center capacity? Is there any button that I can control whether I want to feed the work center capactiy from HR master data work schedule or from manual input directly to work center?
3. If I can feed the HR master data work schedule to work center, what do I need to do to reflect the vacation time or sick time which is not in the work schedule in the HR master data to the work center?
Thanks,
Ting

Error " No working/operating time maintained in work center for scheduling"

Hello Friends,
When i am scheduling the planned order than in scheduling log, system throwing the error "No working/operating time maintained in work center for scheduling".
Message no. C7014
But in workcenter, i have attached the grouping and in interval and shift for the available capacity 1, i have maintained the shifts.
According i can see the capacity on that workcenter in CM01.
Same error i am getting when i am scheduling the routing and check the scheduling log.

Jitendra.

Hi
Have u checked , to maintain the time required to perform the activity in the work-center?
please check, i think, we have to maintain for each activity type.

Formula parameter in Work Center for 'Costing' tab

Hi all
In the 'costing' tab of the Work center I am using a formula which uses the operation quantity ' which has field name 'MGVRG'. Is there a way I can use an alternate unit of measure as an operation quanity in the formula? Let us say my Routing is defined in Cases and my operation qty is is in cases but I want to pass on the alternate unit of measure LB which is defined in the Material Master. Is there a way I can do it.
thanks a lot

Hi John,
Not sure if i have understood your query correctly, but when you click on test forumla in the work center it does not display the UoM, so here you can pass the UoM as per your need. In OP52, for SAP_09 you can verify the same.
If my understanding is not correct, please let me know.
