Hi SAP Experts,
I have a few questions regarding the overlapping indicator in routing as below:
1. What is the difference between "Required Overlapping" & "Continous Flow Production" indicator in routing? I have tested with both indicator but still cannot see the logic behind on how APO scheduled the orders based on these indicators.
2. Is it a must to maintain both "overlap time" & "Send ahead quantity" in the routing if I select either "Required Overlapping" or "Continous Flow Production"? Or, I can just maintain either of them?
3. If my planned order's quantity is less than the send ahead quantity set in the routing, there will be a gap between 0010 Produce End Time with 0020 Setup Start Time. Is this a APO standard behavior?
4. Refer to question (2), if the answer is yes, is there any way so that the APO will schedule the operation back to back if the planned order quantity is less than the send ahead quantity without any gap in between?
Thanks.
