Work center setup & clean times calculations

dear consultants,
kindly i have a confusion about WC time planning,
1. if i define the setup time in WC and when create production orders system calculate setup times for each order.
but in practical production for the first order in the morning we do setup but for next orders suing the same machine and product, we produce using the machine without re-setup. how to fix this problem?

Dear,
For operations and phases, you can now maintain the fields 'Setup group category' and 'Setup group key' on the 'General data' detail screen please check. If you select an entry in OPG6 the 'Resource setup group' transaction and you jump to the setup transition detail screen for the selected setup matrix and reciep group counter.

Please refer the sap hlep for details,

  • Changing default Work Center during CATS time entry

    Hi Folks,
    I am hoping someone here can throw some expert advice.
    Currently during time entry in CATS, we have Work Center coming in from the Work Order. Its getting defaulted without any option to change it. Business here has a need to change it. I have llooked into the CATS profile to see if there is a place that enable the WC to be defaulted.
    In Transaction CAC1, there is a section that shows what fields are being defaulted during CAT2 time entry. However I do not see the Work Center as one of the option there.
    Can any one help?
    In short, where do we disable the defaulting of the WC from the Word Order during time entry?
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    Adding to what Kapil said; if the work centre is a grayed out in time shet screen then you can go to CAC2 transaction and make it editable. By this way users will be able to change the work centre on screen.

  • Wrong Work center picking up Time sheet

    Hi
    Scenario is as follows:
    Earlier Employee has HR assignment to one Work center 1 -WC1
    Later, Employee was Assigned to Work center 2- WC2
    Problem: When booking time sheet in CAT2 ,  for service order, WC1 was picking up, even though in Service order WC2 is assigned.
    We have deleted the Employee HR assignment from WC1 , but still in Time sheet WC1 is coming.
    Please suggest.
    Thanks.

    Is it possible for anyone to tell, from where the work center is being picked up in CAT2. We are processing time sheet booking for service order. The work center in service order is something different than what is picked up in CAT2.

  • Temporary shut down of Work Center

    We are taking capacity planning into consideration, and work center is
    temporarily shutdown for a period of 12 hrs.
    How to capture the temporary shutdown of the work center in SAP, in order
    no production orders takes work center into consideration as available capacity during this temporary shut down time
    Lastly, if shutdown time is able to capture in SAP, and fixing of work center
    is less than 12 hrs (lets assume 8 hrs) How to chance dynamically in orders for the production orders
    to consider the work center as available

    Thanks for your inputs
    We have not implemented PM module. As a work around, we created a
    dummy production order (without material - c007) and assigned a operation to the
    temporary shutdown work center, this production order filled the work center
    temp. shutdown time slot (so, other production orders cannot use it)
    Other Parameters we considered:
    1. Backward Scheduling
    2. Basic Finish Date (day on W/C is temp. shut down)
    3. Basic Start Date calculated (From Routing Operation Mins)- Routings operation
       minutes maintained in par the temporary shut down time
    4. Operation costs: 1cent/hr

  • What is the link between material processing & work-center

    Hi all,
    I have two types of material & few work center.
    How can I determine, that which work centers could be applied over a specific material for the material processing.
    Regards,
    Saurabh

    Dear Saurabh,
    You may allocate one or more capacity categories to a work center.  Capacity categories are defined in customizing.  Examples are labor, machine, energy and so on. 
    You must maintain data to enable the system to calculate available capacity at that work center for that category.  Examples include calendar assignment, start time, stop time, length of breaks, utilization, number of individual capacities. This is maintained in the capacity header screen of the capacity category for the work center. 
    If you indicate that a capacity is pooled, then it may be used by several work centers.  An example is a setup team.  They can perform setups at several work centers but can only work at one work center at a time. 
    Routings within a routing group are used for producing similar materials. One routing group can also contain routings with similar production processes.
    The alternative sequence enables you to select alternative operations for a sequence of operations - for example in the case of different work procedures for different batch sizes or capacity bottlenecks.
    The parallel sequence enables you to process operations independently of others.  
    A routing contains the operations to be performed, their sequence and the various work centers involved to manufacture an item. 
    A routing can include the following:
    *The standard values (times) for activities such as setup and processing 
    *Work centers where the operations are performed
    *The material components allocated to the operations
    *Any production resources / tools necessary to perform the operation
    *Inspection characteristics for operations where inspection is carried out
    *Instructions of what to do at each operation
    *Skills required to perform the operation
    Reward points if it is helpful.

  • Work center decision

    Dear all,
    Ex- Reactor is main work center main  , under this we r having different type of reactors like R1,R2, R3
    my client want to maintain main rector(work center) in master recipt, and they  will take a perticular work center decision at time of creation of process order. means they will change work center reactor to R1 or R2 as per avaibility of machin
    I suggested, Initially sytem copy  std. master recipt in process order , then u will make a changes of  work center at process order lavel as per you requirement.
    Is it ok suggetion ? or do u have any different idea?
    Kindly let me know
    thx

    Dear,
    There is one more way to incorporate such requirement.
    Create additional master recipes which includes different work center.Then create different production version to incorporate that different master recipe and work centers.
    Now at the time of production release or creation do the selection of required production version as per the work center availability.

  • 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

  • Sometimes my computer takes too long to connect to new website. I am running a pretty powerful work program at same time, what is the best solution? Upgrading speed from cable network, is it a hard drive issue? do I need to "clean out" the computer?

    Many times my computer takes too long to connect to new website. I have wireless internet (time capsule) and I am running a pretty powerful real time financial work program at same time, what is the best solution? Upgrading speed from cable network? is it a hard drive issue? do I only need to "clean out" the computer? Or all of the above...not to computer saavy.  It is a Macbook Pro  osx 10.6.8 (late 2010).

    Almost certainly none of the above!  Try each of the following in this order:
    Select 'Reset Safari' from the Safari menu.
    Close down Safari;  move <home>/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db to the trash; restart Safari.
    Change the DNS servers in your network settings to use the OpenDNS servers: 208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220
    Turn off DNS pre-fetching by entering the following command in Terminal and restarting Safari:

  • Estimated Start time in notification based on Time defined in Work center

    Hi,
    Following Satish post- I am trying to find solution to the same  problem so i will appreciate any advise.
    When the notification is created ,the estimated start time should be based on priority .This in iteslf is pretty straight & simple. However if the reported time is after work hours or towards the end of work hours or weekends , the estimated start time should be reflected accordingly based on factory calender & work center time schedule.
    In other words the estimated start time should fall within the window of work hours available.
    Example:
    Presume the the working hours for the Organization are 8:00AM to 5:00 PM & a call comes for service at 4:00 PM. Also say , for high priority the defined response time is 5 hours. In such a instance the estimated start date should be set to next day at 11:00 AM.
    Appreciate your help for the configuration that need to be done
    Shirly

    Hi,
          I think ur talking about notification malfunction start time .. currently it just takes the system date and time by default .. and if you need work center timings i believe first u need the eqpt /F.loc to get the work center data in notificaiton ...
    I think u can get these dates can be modified while saving by using user exit  : QQMA0014 QM/PM/SM: Checks before saving a notification or BADI   IF_EX_NOTIF_EVENT_SAVE , but at the same time the eqpt or F.loc have work center details in master record ...or work center needs to be entered manually in notification ..., pls check up ..

  • What are the control functions of Suitability and setup type key in work center?

    Hi all,
    Can any1 plz tell me what is suitability and setup type key in workcenter default values tab?
    what are the functions controlled by these keys?

    Hello,
    Control Key in Defaut value keys screen is mainly for defining how the work center will be used in routings.
    Almost in all the PP we define same Control key to the work center as well in the routing.
    For example in work center control Key PP01 is used to define Routings/Internal proc. activities. When we go to the routing screen even if we do not see our components, work centers or control key we have to manually enter these details ans here control Key will remain the same as it was in Work center.
    No. of individual capacity defines how many machines are there of the same type in the work center. E.g if I have 5 CNC machines then I will make One work center and in capacity screen I will put 5 as No. of individual Capacity.

  • Ess Leave  Request -Change in Time calculation without changing work schedu

    Hi All,
    We are implementing a ESS Leave Request in EP6 with backend HR ECC5.0.
    The time calculation is taken  from the Work schedule rule in
    HR backend which is 24*7.
    For example if the leave taken is for 2 days-systems calculates as 24*2=48 hrs
    but in actual the requirement is to calculate 2*8 =16 hrs without changing
    the Work Schedule in 2001 infotype in HR Backend.
    Can we do this change through
    1.Validation in portal itself
    2.Changing the RFC PT_ARQ_REQUEST_CHECK
    3.Changing the Absence Types

  • Inspection time Capacity Updation in work center for skipped lots

    Hi Guys,
                 I am using in process inspection type 03 along with DMR criteria at lot level i have defined the DMR rule and assigned it in routing header.DMR rule is inspection lot 1 in 5 will be inspected i.e when the inspection lot will be created and if there is no quality level exists it will first create the quality level with 1st inspection lot which will not be skipped lot and then it will skip next 4 lots and 5th will be inspected again.Quality level is updated during lot creation level.
                 what i am looking is when you have the skip inspection lot he capacity which has been planned for inspection for that work center should not be considered since there is no inspection done because of skipped inspection on that work center although it's the part of Routing/production process.
    please let me know if any more inputs required.
    your inputs/feedback is really appreciated
    Regards
    Ashutosh Shende

    Hi Krishna,
    It is distributing unevenly because of the Int. Dist. key maintained for "Labour" capacity category.
    Following are the available dist keys.
    I think for your scenario, you should select SAP020
    SAP000     Overall load for latest start date
    SAP010     Overall load for earliest start date
    SAP020     Equal distrib. earliest dates, fact.cal.
    SAP030     Equal distrib. latest dates, fact. cal.
    SAP040     Equal distrib. latest dates, discrete
    SAP050     Equal distrib. earliest dates, oper.time
    SAP060     Equal distr. latest dates, operat. time
    SAP070     Overall load at latest finish date
    Please let me know if this works for you.
