Define Scheduling Parameters for Planned Orders

Scheduling Long-Term Planning: Levels and Control Parameters

The aim of this setup is to define levels and control parameters for scheduling long term planning.

Steps

1. Access the activity choosing one of the following navigation options:

IMG Menu : Production -> Capacity Requirements Planning -> Operations -> Scheduling -> Define scheduling parameters for planned orders

Transaction Code: OPU5

2. On the Change View “Scheduling planned orders”: Overview screen, choose New entries.

3. On the New Entries: Details of Added Entries screen, you can make the following entries as an example:
Key field  Order type *
Plant  PL01
ProdScheduler *
Long-term planning Indicator set
SellID: Detailed 01
Scheduling Indicator set
Generate capacity reqs. Indicator set
SellID: rate plng 02
Scheduling
Generate capacity reqs. 
SellID: rough plng  03
Scheduling level  Via detailed scheduling
Adjust dates Adjust basic dates, adjust dep. reqmts to operation date
For capacity scheduling Always basic dates, dep. reqmts to operation dates
Scheduling type 2 (Backwards)
Reduction type  All operations in the order will be reduced
Maximum reduction level  0 (Do not reduce)

4. For Order type * select Long term planning/simulation from the Dialog Structure to get to the Change View “Long term planning/simulation”: Overview screen.

5. On the Change View “Long term planning/simulation”: Overview screen, choose New Entries.

6. On the New Entries: Details of Added Entries screen, make the following entries:
Key field Entry
Plant BP01
Order type  *
ProdScheduler *
Plnng scenario 1 (Pharma India)
Scheduling level 3 (Rough-cut planning)
SellID: LT Pln 01
Scheduling  Indicator set
Cap. reqmts. Indicator set
Scheduling type  2 (Backwards)

7. Save your entries.

Outcome:

The Production Scheduling parameters are defined.

Notes

In detailed, rate-based and rough-cut scheduling you define for every scheduling level

  • how production dates are determined
  • whether capacity requirement are generated
  • which work center is the basis for scheduling
If a production version exists in the material master then the routing is selected using this version. If no version exists for a scheduling level then a routing is selected according to the selection ID that you have specified for the scheduling level.

Under Sequencing you use the indicator TaktTm./Sched. to specify that for planned order dates the takt time/rate-based scheduling determines sequencing. If you set the indicator the dates determined by takt time-/rate-based scheduling are not overwritten by those determined in lead time scheduling. The basic dates are also not adjusted. Lead time scheduling serves to calculate capacity requirements and the dates of those requirements.

In adjust scheduling you specify

  • whether and how basic dates are adjusted to production dates (for example, when exceeding dates) and what the dates for dependent requirements should be
  • with which scheduling level the adjustment should be carried out (detailed- or production-rate scheduling)
In scheduling control for detailed scheduling you specify the control parameters for detailed scheduling, among other things

Scheduling type

Here you specify the scheduling direction. You can also specify that a scheduling run should only be used to generate capacity requirements.

Start date in the past

Here you specify how many days an order may lie in the past before today scheduling> is automatically triggered.

Automatically calculate dates

Here you specify whether scheduling is automatically carried out on saving

Display log automatically

Here you specify whether the log is automatically displayed after scheduling.

Required date of material

Here you specify where the required date for a component should be with respect to the operation.

Schedule exact to the break

Here you specify that the break times should be taken into account exactly.

Under reduction you specify

- whether in the order or in the collective order all the operations are reduced or only those on the critical path

Reduction along the critical path is only possible for production orders and planned orders with parallel sequences and for collective orders that contain production orders or planned orders.

- up to which maximum reduction level the reduction is to take place

- to what percentage the floats before and after production in every reduction level should be reduced.
