Zero Capacity Consumption

Hi experts,
I am preparing a prototye for my customer. It is an end-to-end (forecast-SNP-PPDS).
What I have done yet:
- Calculated forecast
- run SNP heueristic for multi level planning. --> SNP production order are created
The issue I am currently facing now is: I created a lot of SNP planned orders in production plant but capacity consumption is still zero. Any idea what else I should do?
Thanks
Aban

Hi Handha,
Thanks for reply.
What I did:
- I put big amount of quantities on certain periods to generate capacity overlaod.
- I run heueristic by using SNP view SNP94(1)
- After I started SNP94(2) to check capacity situation.
What I am wondering at is: there is no capacity consumption in an of the resouces which are used for this product in a specific location (production plant for this product).
For your info: PDS has been transfered and capacity are flagged as Multi Mix in ECC system
Thank you for your support

Capacity Consumption of Process Orders Query

Hi Forum,
The client has process orders passing from ECC to APO and the busienss user looks at the SNP Capacity planning book view to see the resource capacity load.
This was all working fine when the ECC scheduling type on the process order was either: 5: Forwards in Time, or 6 Backwards in time.
Yesterday there was a change in ECC where they starting using the scheduling type: 3 Only Capacity Requirements.
SInce thsi chnage APO has stopped recognising the capaicty consumption on the resources. The Process order still appears in APO SNP planning books, but not in the capacity book.
Is '3 Only Capacity Requirements' compatible with APO SNP?
When a process order was changed back to '5 Forwards in Time' in ECC COR2, it would instantly pass to APO and the capacity consumption would return.
Is there some SPRO config somewhere?

Sorry for the delay. I have found a user exit in ECC that controls the filtering of operations. An SAP note (367658 ) appears to suggest it is filtering out the operations when the ECC scheduling setting 3 is used.
My initial testing seems to show this user exit fixes my issue.
From the business side, we have a quite complex solution wher APO plans, ECC converts to process orders and another non SAP system does the scehduling and sends it back. Im not sure on the need for the scheduling type 3, as im not the ECC consultant involved, but im pretty sure its related to the number of lines on the resource in this non SAP scheduling tool.
Not ideal, but if the user exit works for me then i will run with it.

Capacity Consumption in SNP Capacity Planning Book

Hi,
Can someone let me know how the Capacity Consumption KF(9ACACON) is calculated in the SNP Capacity Planning Book.
No macor is associated with the KF. But when i load the data in specific to a resource it gives me some value in the Capacity Consumption KF.
Is there any option to identify the calculation logic of this KF ?
Regards
BVN

Hi
There is no formula as such, it depends on the master data settings in your resource. In transaction /sapapo/res01 you can display the Capacity but how exactly depends on what type of resource you are using and how the capacity is calculated, basically you can have:
Time-Continuous capacity
PP/DS Bucket Capacity
SNP Bucket Capacity
And they can also have different values!
For the SNP View it should be using the SNP Bucket Capacity, so if you click on this tab in your resource master data it should have a field "Bucket Definition" which can either be from Continuos Capacity or be maintained separately. If you click the button "Bucket Capacity" it should show you the current values you have.
If it is from Cont Capacity then click that tab and see the start, end and break times there.
To add a little confusion, you may also have several variants of capacity, the active variant is on the General Data tab, this is the capacity variant that should show up as standard capacity in your planning book.
There is more to it all than this but hopefully that should help answer your qeustion.

Ian

Capacity Consumption in SNP planning book

Hello,
Can anyone explain what drives the calculation of capacity consumption KF in the planning book.
Here is the example.
1) I have a Resource whose SNP bucket capacity of 90,000/Hr = 450000/Wk
2) I created a PP/DS PPM for one product from ECC and then converted it to a SNP PPM
3) There was no resource assignment in the SNP PPM. I then manaully assigned the resource (in step 1) to the PPM.
4) The material consumption on the SNP PPM is 37 per HR
5) The variable bucket consumption on the resource within the SNP PPM is 1 per hr.
Now I created a planned order of 4440 for the finished product in the SNP planning book manually (behind the scenes the heuristic run was carried out obviously).
On my capacity view, the values i see are:
Available capacity = 450000/Week (which is clear since its 90,000 * 5 days/week)
Capacity Conusmption = 6845
Resource capacity level in % = 1.521 (which is 6845/450000 * 100).
The only question is how is the Capacity Conusmption value populated by a value of 6845?
Please provide me your input gurus.
Thx,
Vishy
The idea is to create oneresource and assign it to multiple SNP PPMs so that the capacity situation on this resource for various products could be analysed.)

DEAR GURUS,
*There is a question regarding the resoucre consumptions relevant to PDS in SNP,*
****The inputs are:****
****1) Base Qty= 7700 TH****
****2) Set Up =45 MIN****
****Resource consumed by operation activity is 112 207 seconds = 31,17 hours.****
****Unfortunately we didnu2019t understand how this figure is calculated.****

Capacity consumption issue

Hello friends,
I have the following scenario:
II am using PP-PI model, Recipe for a Material A has fixed duration of 10 hrs for Capacity consumption.
When there is 1 process order created for 3 pc of A, system consumes 10 hrs of capacity. This works fine.
However if there are 3 process orders for matrial A each of 1 PC, system consumes 30 hrs of capacity. But actually it should consume only 10 hours of capacity.
Has anyone handled this using some special capacity formula or any other workaround.
Thanks in advance, Helpful answers will be rewarded.
Ram

Hi,
Please check for the time wheather you have given any inhouse production time which is indpendent of the lot size , normally if we give this time the system will not consider the lot size , it taked constant time per order , please check and let me know so that i can guide you further .
Thanks and Regards,
Mallikharjun.

Leading Zeros of Consumption in historical time series are not considered

We are using VM MRP Type and weighted average model to calculate forecast value using historical consumption values. I have 36 historical periods(months) but have consumption incurred only in last period i-e "1". I have choosen a weighted group 01 (20% for 1-12 month, 30% for 13-24 month, 50% for 25-36 month). Using these setting it should calculate the basic value as 1*0.5/12 = .042 but it gives "1" as basic value not considering leading zero consumption value in historical time series. If i put a value in first period it calculates correctly and considers the leading zero.
We have implemented note 1113276, 1145764 & 1113277 and have chosen CV_OPTION="X" in the interface as per theses notes instructions but still while executing the forecast it is not considering the leading zeros.
We are using ECC 6.0 MM with 602 support pack.
Need urgent help in this regard.

Have you followed the steps as per SAP Note 1113276 , Just check below link with same subject discussed check it helps you,

SNP Capacity view - Wrong Capacity consumption

Dear All,
Our client facing this critical issue..
In our scenario we have SNP and PPDS are using for planning, issue is related SNP Capacity view..
PPDS orders (firmed planned order, process orders) are not reflecting properly in SNP Capacity view , issues are we can put it into two category
Category 1
We are running PPDS planning run for 3 week , at every Wednesday , after the PPDS planning run, if you check in PPDS DS board or Resource utilization report, we can see the resource are consumed say 87%, but when we you check the same in SNP Capacity view you may see only 60% or like, from the detailed analysis it came to know that some of the products are reflecting in SNP Capacity view, this is only with PPDS planned order or process orders , SNP planned orders are consumed properly in SNP Capacity view (this analyzed with respect to deployment view, (PPDS order also reflecting properly in Deployment view) ( Production confirmed)) because of this wrong data user not able to take proper decision from SNP Capacity view.
Category 2
Scenario is same as previous one, here some time later (say for example next day) some of the products are reflecting in SNP Capacity view. This occurring randomly.
Can any one guide me , what would be the reason for this
From our end we done following activities
1)analyzed the master data didn't find any issue
2) Constancy check done for LiveCache and Planning area
Thanks in advance
Sunny

Consumption of storage capacity in in SNP capacity view

Hi Experts,
when I check a storage resource in the capacity view the key figure "Capacity Consumption" (9ACACON) is displayed.
Could anybody please explain how is this key figure calculated?
This does not take place in a macro - I think this is related to the assigned key figure function done in the planning area customizing. The key figure "quantity stored" (9ASTOCK) has the key figure function "6007 Storage Quantity with Resource Consumption". Therefore the amount stored in this key figure (and other key figures with the function 6007 assigned) consumes the capacity.
I want to check capacity consumption of the projected stock in the future which is only calculated in auxiliary key figure u201CStock on Hand (Projected)u201D. This key figure has also function 6007 assigned.
So I assume that
a) the calculation of capacity consumption takes place by the key figure function - How specifically?
b) if I create a new (non auxiliary) key figure where the projected stock is stored in the consumption is correctly calculated?
Looking forward to your answers!
Julian

Hi julian,
let me rephrase what I said above:
When I say:"the capacity consumption for storage capacity is not based on projected stock but on the orders": I mean:
The capacitiy consumption calculation is not based on the proejcted stock key figure.Instead the storage quantity is calculated based on initial stock, receipt AND demand.
This should give the same result, but what I meant is: I don't think that the changes you have done for the projected stock have any impact on the storage capacity consumption.
In you case it looks like the result is based only on receipt as you mentioned, but to be honest even that look wrong (something arriving on day x should consume the storage untill it is removed and send somewhere else, and not only on the date of arrival)
Note the standard data view 9ASNP94/SNP94(2) - the capacity view- does NOT contain the projected stock key figure.
What you want to see is correct: in standard it should work! (except that it is not based on the projected stock key figure itself, but it is recaculated...)
Did you check if the standard view 9ASNP94/SNP94(2) was showing the right result?
I asked you:" How your system behave with other order types (e.g ditribution demand, production...) "
I meant: when you have a distribution demand, is your capacity consumption reduced?
Thanks and Regards

Partial Capacity consuption in capacity view - Table 1

Hi all,
When I see the capacity consumption for a particular product in capacity view, Table 1; it is exactly half the quantity of the pur. req. that is generated. The pur. req. quantity for this product is correct in capacity view, Table 2. The resource is a transportation resource.
This is happening for one particular product. Is this some master data problem?

Capacity Consumptiom KeyFigure

Hello Folks,
For a particular Manufacturing Plant XXXX in APO, we are facing this problem:
1) When we go to "Capacity View" planning book in SNP & feed in the selection as :
APO Resource
Location = XXXX
Model = 000
It gives a list of all Resources in the left Panel.
Next when we double click on any one YYYY of this resource we get the Keyfigure "Capacity Consumption" in the main book. Here "Capacity Consumption" in Hours are shown for all products maintained for this Resource YYYYat this location XXXX.
The total Hrs for Capacity Consumption for all these products should aggregate & show as total Hours. Unfortunately the total is not correct. The total hours for Capacity Consumption is always more than the total hours for listed products.
2) The Business said that they had recently changed a few Resources & PPM at this location XXXX & ever since this issue had surfaced.
3) This incorrect Capacity Consumption is noticed onl;y for this single plant XXXX for all resources listed; However for all other plants the total is perfect match of the summation of all listed product's Capacity Consumption.
Any pointers would be heartily appreciated.
Many Thanks
Kumar

Hi Ada,
On your behest I did Cons check again for :
Planning Area = ZPASNP
Version = 000
(.) Log
(.) Repair
( ) Lock PLanning Version
(.) Check Live Cache Anchor
This time it yielded all GREEN outcomes. There were no RED icons.
The difference is showing up for just 2 out of 25 RESOURCES. I couldn't spot any TREND in them.
For example :
1) There are 5 products listed under this Resource : for certain time-buckets the aggregateTOTAL HRS is exactly equal to the indiciual HRS listed Productwise; however for certain time-bucket only TOTAL HOURS are shown but no HRS under any Products!
2) For another Resource the TOTAL HRS is much bigger than the aggregate total of the products wise HOURS.

Operation priority scheduling as per capacity utilization.

Hi friends
Our client wants to set operation wise priority.In our case there is only one operation in that worcenter.
Routing master data is set like that. we had given overlapping-. continous prodction and Minahead qty 1 PC.
Iif there are more production orders using same workcenter, now he want set capacity utilisation like this.
                            WC1             WC2           WC3
Order A               40%                                 50%
Order B               30%              40%
Order C               40%              60%            50%
After this system has to schedule the orders/operations accordingly ..
This is for schedulig Planning purpose as per the demand.
we are using MTS and in MRP lead time scheduling.
One more thing
If there are three orders starting on same date using same workcenter
when we are checking the orders system has scheduled for three orders -operations staring on same time
Order A Operation 0010 WC1- start 7:00 hrs
Order B Operation 0010 WC1 start 7:00 hrs
Order C Operation 0010 WC1 start 7:00 hrs
If i am checking capacity icon system has given available capacity for this workcenter
How come all orders start at same time even capacities are available.
Regards,
srihari.M

Srihari,
How come all orders start at same time even capacities are available.
You have only mentioned MRP. MRP is not intended to schedule orders according to capacity, it only plans for making materials available at the required times. In order to plan for capacity consumption, you need to carry out capacity planning.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp60_sp/helpdata/en/8a/a590c14adc11d189740000e8322d00/frameset.htm
To answer your question, it is sometimes desirable to have many orders start at the same time in a specific work center, even after capacity planning has been done. This is dependent upon the client's business requirements and the structure of his manufacturing operations.
If you have never implemented capacity management before, I suggest that you speak to a senior PP consultant on your team, who should be able to show you how to get basic CRP set up and running.

Continues consumption of BOM component

Hello Experts,
We want when one product is produced continues material needed for this production to be consumed continues not to be available in the beginning of the order.
Example:
Product A with quantity of 1000 kg produced for 3 days. We have maintained distribution key in production version and this product is available not on the end of the order. On the First day there is available 3333 on second 6666 and in the end whole 1000kg. So far everything is perfect.
For production of Product A we are using Material B in a BOM and for 1000 kg of Product A we need 2000 kg of Material B. But system wants all 2000 kg of Material B to be available in the beginning of production. In reality we need in first day we need only quantity of B only for daily production of A which in our case is 3333 kg.
The question is how to make continues consumtion of material in the BOM (Material B) therefore required quantity to be spited per days in order not to be available in the beginning of production.
Thanks,
Kaloian

Hi Kaloian,
I am a bit confused, since in one statement you ask for 'continuous' replenishment, and in another statement you imply you want 'daily' replenishment.
Anyhow, I think what you are talking about is 'how do I tell MRP where and when to place my dependent requirements for orders that extend over multiple days'. Your statements imply that you are using repetitive manufacturing and therefore are using backflush to execute.
The area where you determine Bill of materials requirements distribution is in configuration IMG>Production>Basic Data>Bill Of Material>Item Data>Item Data from Related Application Areas>Define Distribution Key.
You should be aware that these keys will also be applicable for the distribution of capacity consumption
You define the required Key(s) for each plant. Within each Key, you define which function you want. In your case, I suspect you want SAP's standard function S20, 'Equal Distribution'. If existing functions are unsatisfactory, you can create your own.
Once you have created the key, you can now enter it into the item detail of the appropriate Bill of materials. CS02>Select the item, then Goto>Item The Distribution Key can be entered here.

Capacity Error while doing PCN

I am running into some issue with the capacity while doing PCN.
am using SU Managed WHS. with capacity check method - 4 at Storage Type and Put-away strategy u2018Lu2019
I've used neutral capacity as 100 in Material Master -WM1 view and Capacity as 300 in Storage bin capacity to accommodate 3 pallets in the bin. I am not having any issue with this capacity while put-away. As per my setting system is allowing only 3 pallets in the bin. The Stock category was Q then.
After Usage decision when I am trying to process PCN (LT05) system is throwing me an error that bin capacity is exceeded. I guess system is considering the PCN as another put away.
How do i over come this. Appreciate your help
Thanks,
Raj

Hi,
Inspection method 4 - check in accordance with material key figure
You can define a neutral capacity consumption relating to a unit of measure in the Warehouse Management view of the material master. You must then have defined a total capacity (also neutral) in the storage bin master data. For the putaway on a storage bin, the remaining capacity of the storage bin is calculated from the total capacity minus the capacity of the putaway materials and saved in the storage bin master record. In the case of other putaways and additions to existing stock, this remaining capacity is used to check whether the putaway is allowed on this bin. This inspection method is also suitable for storage types with mixed storage.
As I see you have maintained 100 in mmr , please note that it will use base unit of measure for this . 300 in the bin (neutal indicator). this will allow 3 of the particular material in the bin. Please note 4 does not use SUT data for capacity check.
MMR
base unit of meaure pc -
alternate unit of measure is dozen.
conversion 1 dozen = 12 pc
Capacity 100 /dozen
Bin
capacity 300
This settings allows for 3 dozens or 36 pcs. If its 100/pc , then only 3 pcs.
