Hi Experts,
The client is implementing heuristics for which we need to make changes to the production calendar. However this change impacts the following business scenario:
Description:
In a make-to-order sales order scenario, we create an order for a BOM material. Based on the production BOM, APO PPMs and other master data settings system creates a planned order in the system. Our goal is to control the scheduling of this planned order in the system.
The control condition is:
if a sales order is created before 3 am local time, then the planned order should be created on the same day. But if the order is created after 3 am local time, then the planned order should be created the next day.
Settings maintained in SCM-APO to achieve this:
We are trying to achieve this by keeping the production resource calendar open from 2 am to 3 am (tcode /sapapo/res01) on working days. The production calendar at the location level (tcode /sapapo/loc3) is open 24/7 because for other business processes like heuristics run etc, we need the production calendar open 24/7. As per the SAP help, system is expected to overlap both, the production resource calendar and location production calendar while scheduling a sales order. If system were actually doing an overlap, any sales order created after 3 am with same day requested delivery date would create a planned order tomorrow instead of today. But in current environment, system ignores the production resource calendar and creates a planned order on the same day.
