To have buffer / leeway in planning , SAP has provided the provision for maintaing of the following information :

Planning related minimum interval

Planning related minimum offset

Process related minimum Interval

We do not know where this information can be maintained in the SAP System .

We request SAP experts to kindly guide us about maintaining of the above information into the SAP system .

Sonia,

These terms are used within APO Detailed Scheduling (part of PP/DS) module. They can be found in certain master data (PPMs and PDS's) and they are used in various scheduling tasks: heuristics, DS planning board, optimizer.

Online help about production order time intervals in scheduling can be found at

http://help.sap.com/saphelp_scm70/helpdata/EN/5f/e9693728e52456e10000009b38f889/frameset.htm

and related pages.

It is quite a daunting task to maintain data that meets a set of business requirements unless you have extensive knowledge of PP/DS. Since you have never done this before, I strongly recommend that you engage an experienced PP/DS resource to assist you in this area. You can spend weeks and weeks using trial and error methods in varying the many interrelated parameters that will have an impact on scheduling. Then, when the client asks you to 'tweak' the results, more weeks.

If you feel compelled to attempt this on your own anyway, then I also suggest that you will get more answers if you post such questions in one of the SCM/APO forums. I suggest that you first read the above mentioned help, including all the subordinate pages and the contained links, before you ask more detailed questions.

Best Regards & Good Luck,

I'm not sure what are these parameters that you mention, but for creating planning buffers in MRP planning, you can use the scheduling margin key, where you can maintain predefined slacks - float before and after production.

Hi You can use Inter operation field of Work Scheduling view or else in Routing, Go to Operations details try using Inter operations times like Minimum & maximum wait time
