Planning in Multiple Plants in PPDS

[rashid121]

Hi Guru’s!

I have a scenario where I have two plants 1000 and 2000 both are manufacturing Plants. I have a material for example ABC which can be produce on both plants. Now the scenario is I have planned 5000 quantity in Plant 1000 but there is not enough capacity available on prescribed dates but in plant 2000 enough capacity is available so now planner want to produce that 5000 quantity in plant 2000. Is it possible in PPDS and what are the necessary settings which I have to maintained? So that when ever there is not enough capacity available in one plant we can produce on other manufacturing plant.

Hi Rashid,

This can be solved using PP Solver or PPO in s4hana (from 2020) release onwards. For more information on this PP Optimiser you can have a look at the blog on this topic https://blogs.sap.com/2021/05/17/production-planning-optimizer-in-s-4-hana-ppds-and-its-limitations/

Using cost modelling techniques this requirement can be taken care of. Hope this answers your question.
