Planned Orders Are Being Created In The Future Period (About Six Months onw

[Former Member]

Dear All,

We are facing a problem that when we execute the product heuristics for a particular location - item, planned orders are not getting generated as per the demand element in the current period but they are getting generated in future period say six months from now... We could NOT understand that Why the system is pushing the orders in future period. We have checked the following parameters :

Calendar is active for the period upto DEC"2012.

Time Streams have been genereted for the particular resource.

Resource(s) do exist in Live Cache.

Sufficient capapcity is available in the current period (as viewed from the resource planning table).

Please advise that what other parameters should be checked in order to get the planned orders in current period. In this regard, we shall like to confirm that we are facing this issue since last 8 - 10 days, earlier, there was NOT such an issue.

With Best Regards,

Dear Sanjeev

1.Check if there if any one maintained Planning Time Fence in product location as 180

2.If there is any change like SNP Frozen Horizon -180 (SNP Production Horizon)

3.Is there any change in PPM/PDS Validity dates.

Hi Sanjeev,

Did you maintain any value for planning time fence, and if yes, how big is it? This could be one possible reason why system is not able to plan the orders (also depends on what Heuristics you are using).

In RRP3, double click on your planned orders and check out the start date and the end date. Is your start date also lying in the future, or is it that due to long time in your operations (somehow your PDS/PPMs got messed up?), orders availability got pushed to the future.

I am not an expert in PPDS, but I can only think of different lead times coming into picture which could possibly push your planned orders availability to the future.

See if this helps.

Thanks - Pawan

Hello Sanjeev,

Please check the planning Horizon in PPDS Tab for the Product in Product master screen.
