Exception Message 64 for 1 day After Adding Shift to Work Center

[anthonyj_dellartejr]

We added a shift to a work center for a route of a material. Rather than stated as one shift for 20 hours as it was, we restated it to reflect the two shifts of 10 hours each to total 20 hours. Now when we look in MD04 for the material, the Basic Finish date is one day less than the production finish date and we now get an exception message 64 for this material in many planned orders.

How can we properly state our work center using shifts but when the system generates basic and production dates it considers this and keeps the basic and production finish dates the same?

We do not maintain inhouse production time in the material master because for any given material number we have different routes. Therefore we do not want to update the inhouse prod time in the material master. We want to leave that blank.

Problem solved! I decided to use a schedule margin key to define float before and after production and it cleared up the few EM 64's, that seemingly was caused because their WC's second shift spans into the next day, and the remaining EM 64's that need actual attention are left remaining.

Hello,

As you are using lead time scheduling, and time referred to route data it is also better to maintain in house time (as basic dates drive from here). As lead time scheduling finish date is higher than basic date finish time, it is giving exception message 64. Maintain the highest route production time = in house production time, to avoid the exceptional message.

Otherwise, as you are referring lead time schedule it won't affect your planning until you want avoid this message. Hope this helps
