Split orders by users in a pooled capacity work center

[Former Member]

Good morning.

In our plant we have a pooled capacity work center, where 8 workers are allocated. They work 8 hours, with 2 30-minute breaks in their shift and they are distinguished by their HR personnel number. I need to be able to split the production orders of this plant to any of the workers i think right, and i need to be able to have a "warning" or an "error message" if the capacity of this worker is exceeded by the assignment of the order i am applying to him. Is this possible? Can i do it through CM27??? And if yes, how?

Best personal regards,

Nikos

Hello Nikos,

I don't think this would be possible in standard SAP.

Refer SAP consulting note

448070 - Functions of splits in the capacity leveling

During the design of the split functions in the capacity leveling, it was assumed that the operations or activities might be first dispatched finitely against the capacity of the affected main capacity and that the operations or activities thus contain feasible dates. During the dispatching of operations, the system can execute capacity scheduling and checks of the operation dates if this is desired in accordance with the strategy profile.

On the other hand, the allocation and dispatching of splits represents only an option to be able to execute more detailed allocations at individual capacity level on the basis of operation dates that were found until then. This should therefore only occur after the operations or activities were dispatched. Therefore, the finite scheduling of splits or any checks of split dates is not execute on purpose.

Hello and many thanks!

I am not sure i have understood your answer at 100%...

Would it be better if i create one work center for each working person, so i have an 1 to 1 relationship? Would it be then better to capture individual allocations through CM27?

Hello,

Does your scheduling is on labor? or the work centers are defined for for machine level scheduling?

You can use the individual capacity in the work center and split the requirement on these individual capacity in CM27. I would suggest you should test both the scenario in your test system.

Hello again,

my scheduling is on labour, since it is a manual and labour intensive process. It is not clear to me how i will use one work center and split the capacities...

Best regards,

Hello,

Define the number of individual capacities in work center for labor category.

In routing active the tick for Split required and number of split.

Then in CM27 you can split an order operations on individual capacities.
