Additional scheduling of orders

[Former Member]

Hi all,

I am facing some issues with the Production Scheduling run.

Please throw some light on the below scenario:

Once the planning run is finished and Detailed scheduling has been done, there is an issue with the raw material availability 'coz of which the some orders need to be re-scheduled. However, the existing plan shouldnot get disturbed. To put it more clearly:

Suppose there is an Order which is scheduled in 3rd week from now. However, the RM is unavailable as per the original plan and therfore the Order cannot be executed. Thus we have the below two issues to handle:

1. How to re-schedule the orders as per the new RM availability without disturbing the original schedule?

2. How to utilize the resource capacity which is now available due to the above order cancellation?

For your information, I am working in SCM 2007 ( APO 5.1).

Any inputs in this regards will be highly appreciated.

Thanks

VKS,

Please check the planning procedure with the option

Manual with Check

and choose appropriate heuristics and execute for planning run, then scheduling will be handled automatically for the orders generated from automated planning run.

Hi Kiran,

Thanks for the reply.

However, I am still not very clear about how it works. As per the SAP documentation, if the "manual Planning with Check" option is ticked, every time an event (such as new Preq created etc) it will trigger the appropriate Heuristic (as specified in the Product Master) and carry out the planning. Pls confirm if my understanding is right.

If this is right, then

1. Is the new Plan a Delta Plan or will it end up disturbing the entire Scheduling plan?

2. Does this Planning run get triggered once we enter the DS board?

Regards,
