Hi Gurus,

I am planning to run my CTP heuristics.

E.g: i am taking DP PIR for 4 weeks of March 2010 from DP and trying to release on Feb,15th to PPDS CTP with planning procedure 1 to plan for March 1st week and after checking my semi finished products if not available need to generate Planned order.

How i can create time buckets and how planning run need to generate?

Can any one help me in config steps needed to the above explaination.

Thanks in advance .

Hi Raj,

1) I assume the purpose of you releasing the PIR from to DP to

R/3 is for forecast consumption. Based on the PIR available,

PPDS plans for its product and in turn to the semi finished product

wherein the PPM will contain the details. The capacity of the production

mill will be contained in the resource which inturn will be attached to

the PPDS PPM which it is used during planning.

2) If you select PPDS heuristics/optimiser as engine for planning, if you maintain

priority/cost in PPM/PDS data for different external machines respectively, then

system will plan accordingly

Raj,

It is not clear to me what business problem you are trying to solve.

Forecasting and overall periodic planning are usually not directly related to CTP. CTP is generally used for planning immediately, during an availability check. CTP heuristics may not give you the results you are seeking.

Anyhow, to answer your questions:

Time buckets are created in the Resource. If your Resources are CIFd from ECC Work centers, you can use CR02 in ECC to define buckets under the capacities tab. Otherwise, you can just define the buckets in /SAPAPO/RES01, select the PPDS resource of concern, select General data tab, define the period (length) of the timestream. Then,select PPDS Bucket Cap tab, and then define your buckets. Other tabs should already have been filled out appropriately.

Hi Gurus,

Thanks for your responce. Please guide me if i am correct or not and also i am pecifing my requirements.

1. Guide me which planning engine i need to ?

Actually i have PIR in DP and i wanted to have planning run considering my immediate semifinished product by considering capacity of my production mill.Please guide me

I am not using GATP& SNP in APO.

2. when i run my enigine every product which i am running my planning engine need to check my external michines are available are not ? My planned order will be released to PP

Please provide me answer it will be really great help

Thanks & Regards,

Raj

Hi Raj,

The following are the steps that you need to maintain

1) Maintain customisation settings for ATP in R/3

2) Maintain planning strategy in R/3 system

3) Transfer ATP customizing to APO via CIF

4) Maintain ATP customisation settings in APO (like ATP

group, check mode, check instructions)

5) Maintain Planning procedure 3 with horizon in PPDS

6) Maintain CTP strategy profile

7) Once the demand is entered into PPDS, run heuristic

using transaction /SAPAPO/CDPSB0 by selecting the

suitable heuristics for CTP, check the job status and logs

😎 After planning run, check the results
