Material Group based Detailed Scheduling in APO

[Former Member]

Hi,

We have a requirement for which it is required to perform scheduling based on Material group.

Example:

We are having material A, B and C in material group "01" and E, D and F in material group "02".

Workcenters as X1, X2, and X3 can be used for any of material.

Now,

X1- ____A_______||_____B_______||

X2- ______C__________||_______C________||_______E________||

X3- ______E______||___________B______________||

If a new sales order is coming in for material "A", it is required that system will plan this on workcenter X1 as same group material is running on this line with keeping time constraint too.

Note: We can't fix work centers as each work center is able to produce any of material ( i.e. A, B, C, E, D and F)

How do map this in SAP APO-PPDS?
