PDS activity SETUP assignment to valuation for blockplanning

[Annemarie_de_jo]

Dear experts,

I configured Blockplanning in Advanced Production (S4/HANA) in combination with the Setup matrix, which is working fine except for one thing:

In Routing, I assigned class-type 018 to the operation. The Operation is setup-time and machine time. How ever, when I create a PDS from the production version with this routing, only the Activity of activity type P (produce) is valuated for blockplanning. With the result that the setuptime is scheduled in the incorrect (predecessor) block. I would like to have the setuptime in the correct (same) block as the production activity. Can you advice me about the valuation for blockplanning for activitytype S in the PDS?

Thanks in advance!

Annemarie

Hi Wojciech,

Thank you for reply. Indeed, in most cases, the setup activity will start in the new block. So, also the setupactivity (only once, at the start of the new block) should be assigned to the same block as the Activity 'Produce. I will check the BADi you mentioned.

Kind regards,

Annemarie

Hi Annemarie,

if the setup activity is really required for block planning with PDS then you need to use method BLOCK_PLANNING_RELEVANCE in BAdI /SAPAPO/CURTO_CREATE. Normally activity "produce" is enough for BP....it could be that the setup for the production on the line can be done before the BP block begins...so the question is: when exactly the setup activities are done physically on the line? if for example the new block starts on Monday with the beginning of the first shift, will the guys start first then with the preparation of the line = setup activity, or will they try to do it at the end of the last shift the previous week =before (or irrespectively) of the block interval?

warm regards,

Wojtek
