Constraining Planned Orders in SAP-PP

Former Member

Hi,

Can someone indicate me how I can get my planned orders constrained into SAP-PP?

I have an external Requirement Planning tool that generate an unconstrined requirement plan. The external tool is then interfaced into SAP to send in the planned orders.

I will then like to know the steps I need to use to setup a constraining process to optimize the allocation of plans to my capacities.

Thanks,

Paulin

Paulin,

You could configure capacity management, then run capacity leveling. Strictly speaking, this will provide a plan in which each work center's load is constrained to work center capacity. However, the overall plan will not be optimized, nor will it necessarily be feasible. For this functionality, you need APO.

Hi Paulin,

SAP-ERP PP is not an automatic constrains based planning tool. For that you need to use SAP-APO.
