Planning time fence using a specific calendar

[Former Member]

Hello

Planning time calculation is using workdays and the factory calendar.

I have a customer request to have the planning time fence use a specific calendar, not containing holidays and non-active periods. Is there a possibility in ERP to define a specific calendar for planning time fence.

Hello,

You can have a material specific planning calendar, for meeting the requirements. Please ensure that the planning calendar is created properly created and is used with lot sizing parameter PK and the planning calendar is assigned to the material in MRP -2 view.

Please let me know if the above solution meets your req.

second,

if you need to maintain the new custom factory calendar (as you said, "not containing holidays and non-active periods") please run SCAL and do it easy.

third,

if you need some more, say, planning calendar , you can run MD25 and maintain it

good luck

Dear PPIO,

This is with ref to your response to the above question. I too have a similar problem.

We have a factory Calendar (US) that is used on our day to day business. This factory calendar does not include the weekends and public holidays.

I created a SAP Planning Calendar(DSI) via MD25 but when i ran the MRP it still gives me the result based out of the Factory Calendar.

I would like to see my MRP to propose including weekend and public holidays.

If you could send me your id , i could send the screen shots.

Rajnish,

Did you enter the Planning calendar in the scheduling section of the Material Master (MRP2)?
