DS planning board manual drag over 7 mnths with CDP

[former_member584840]

Hi,

I am trying to manually drag an order on the DS Planning board From June 2014 back to Oct 2013, so thats about 8 months.

This is with characteristic based planning, so I am trying to drag it to its correct block that links to its characterisic.

I keep getting no scheduling message (settings set to "consider block planning")

If I put the setting to IGNORE block planning, I can drag it anywhere.
And if I use IGNORE block planning, I can drag it back a few months - eg to May 2014, and then from the middle of March it seems to work.

So I can drag the order from May back to October - so thats about 7 months.

I am wondering if I have set some kind of random limit between 7 and 8 months where dragging doesnt work?

The pegging req is also in June.

I have the PPDS horizon set at 400 days, so way into the future to allow this (Initially I thought this may be the issue)

I am opening up a year forward in the DS planning board.

Any tips on how to get this to work, or wether there is some kind of time barrier on what can work.

Thanks!
John

Hi John,

Is your plannig order been created after your last block?

Did you check if your planned order duration is bigger than your block duration?

It seems to be a master data issue with your block planning.

Hi Thiago,

The order length is about 40 mins and the block is about 14 hours, so plenty of room for it. If I drag the order half way back and THEN drag it a second time, the order goes into the block OK, so I know if fits. I am just trying to understand all the possible constraits in the DS Board as there are always many items that dont move around at first go, and most of them there is eventually a reason, but I cant find it here.

The planning order is sitting in no mans land after the last block, and I can drag it part way back to a CLOSER part of no mans land and THEN it moves OK to the block.

Thanks

HI John,

First what you need to see is, does the characteristics of the block and the order are matching or not.

In the DS strategy select schedule mode as insert operation & select specified date option while scheduling manually so that no need to drag drop, system will pop up a window asking for the date to which you want to reschedule.

Thanks

Very helpful Sravan. I can put the date in and it moves to the block and allows me to go over 100% which dragging does not.
