Capacity Planning for all Sales Order Items

[Former Member]

Sir,

A Sales Order have 4 different line items & need to produce on single work center.

In schedule line of sales order requirement dates are given priority wise.

After running the MRP I have observed that for all schedule lines, all planned ordered are starting on same date & time on the given capacity.

I need to level it manually.

Here I have few Question.

1) Can Capacities are Scheduled as per priority given in SO automatically.

2) Can revised availability dates will be reflected in SO.

3) Which reports will be useful for understanding consolidated availability date of material for given sales order/s.

Regards

Prashant,

Sales orders do not consume capacity. Planned/Production orders consume capacity.

In R/3, infinite planning (MRP) must be performed first. Capacity leveling (finite planning) is always done after the planned/production order is created and scheduled.

In R/3, MRP will not perform capacity leveling.

1) Can Capacities are Scheduled as per priority given in SO automatically. 

In short, no. Capacities are part of the planned order. The initial (infinite capacity) scheduling of the planned order will be based on the requirements date, but also on the master data of the material; either the routing duration or the inhouse production time. Capacity requirements may be generated, but no leveling is done.

2) Can revised availability dates will be reflected in SO. 

Of course. Any time you perform an ATP on the Sales order, it will then recheck and re-confirm to the current possible availability date. You can automate this process with Rescheduling (V_V2).

3) Which reports will be useful for understanding consolidated availability date of material for given sales order/s. 

Can you be more explicit? CO09 will show the availability situation for a Material/plant. However, it does not display anything about capacity availability or consumption. Availability of capacity can be viewed in CM01 and similar.

There is functionality in APO that will confirm Sales orders based on Available capacity.

Dear ,

To answer the question for Capacity requirement planning on sales order I would say that MRP does only materials planning based on demand and reciept but never does Capacity Requirement Plannig .MRP generates Planned Order and susequently , production order can be genreted and farther you can carry out capacity requirement planning based on the work cente available capacity , requirement and load for those MTO orders .

But there are SAP business suit like APO-SNP APO PPDS which carriy our details scheduleing and caapcity check based on the demand situation : Sales Order ,Independent Order and does capcaity vaialbality chek for those demands while planning .

Now , here is the answer of your question :

1) Can Capacities are Scheduled as per priority given in SO automatically. : Not possible through SAP MRP but in APO-PPDS, APO-SNP-CTM , Herustic model .

2) Can revised availability dates will be reflected in SO. : It can be reflected as per the ATP chekc , Replishmenet Lead Time and re-scheduling horizon maintained in OPPQ-Carry all overall plant parametres.

3) Which reports will be useful for understanding consolidated availability date of material for given sales order/s. : You can check through MD04/MD05 or in sales order -Availaibility check -Schedule Line -Availaibility date .

Hope your are clear about the requirememt .

Regards
