Parallel sequence in APO PDS

[evgeny_markin]

Dear colleagues,

Plastic goods are produced in our plant.

The production process consists of:

1. injection machines 20+ with different production rates.
2. press-forms (molds) that can be installed only on some of them and this is a bottleneck capacity. Each press-form may have different number of sockets (production cavity).

We are going to use a routing CA01, and PDS in APO.

In a routing we use:

• standard sequence with an operation for a general injection machine where a press-form is mainly used.
• parallel sequence with an operation for a press-form.
• alternative sequence with an operation for an alternative injection machine where a press-form can be installed.

Badi CURTO_ALTERNATIV_SEQ has been activated in order to transfer alternative sequences from a routing into APO PDS as modes.

In ERP PDS_MAINT the standard, parallel and alternative sequences are displayed. See screenshots.

In APO /SAPAPO/CURTO_SIMU only the standard and alternative sequences are displayed. See screenshots.

The problem is that the parallel sequence is NOT transferred into APO PDS at all. See screenshots.

Thank you in advance for any help you can provide and any solution that can used.

Best regards,

Evgeny

Hello

Solution.

In our case we used ABAP for badi CUSLNTRTO_ADDIN, method CHANGE_OPERATION

in order to modify PDS structure before transfer to APO.

Namely, table ct_reqcaps was modified and additional capacity requirements from a parallel operations were added.

Thank you all.

Hello Markin,

Is the solution with BADI used for SNP PDS or PPDS PDS?    We have a similar issue for SNP PDS.

Hi,

I have not tested it for SNP PDS. Not sure but you can try.
