Continuous I/O with more than one individual capacities

[former_member385470]

Hi All

Has anybody worked with continuous I/O with resources having more than one capacity. When I am trying to model this, the scheduling in DS Board is scheduling incorrectly.

Hi Mridul,

Can you add more details as to what is the requirement and what is not working preferably with screen shots.

Hello,

Continuous consumption is only considered in production planning heuristics and not in scheduling heuristics

Please refer SAP consulting note 2666947 - Restrictions and Implementation Recommendations for Production Planning and Detailed Scheduling for SAP S/4HANA 1809

Overlap and Continuous Input / Output

Overlap due to continuous production (quantities are continuously handed over to the next processing step instead of only at the end) can be modeled in two ways:

•Within an order, by order internal relationships a start-start relationship can be defined

•Between orders, the functionality of continuous consumption can be used Other limitations:

•Note that continuous consumption is only considered in production planning heuristics and not in scheduling heuristics.

•Continuous consumption does not work with external procurement and sales orders.

•The heuristic SAP_PP_C001 must not be called by the heuristic SAP_PP_Q001.

The requirement is SFG has a fixed lot of 100 quantity but producing 100 quantity takes 2 weeks. The schedule for the SFG Order and FG Order need to overlap so that partial quantity of SFG whenever is completed the FG production can start. Also the work center for SFG has multiple machines to produce (multiactivity). We have set this up using distribution key in the BOM and production version. Also maintained minimum pass qty in the material master in the advanced planning tab. And using PPDS Bottom Up with Continuous I/O. But it is working if we maintain single capacity for the WC not for multiactivity resource.

Hope I could explain it
