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
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)
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.
