Model Mix Planning (Enhanced)
Use
The following new functions have been added to Model Mix Planning in SAP APO 4.0:
- New Heuristic for Dispatching Large Quantities of Orders (Orders with Lot Size 1)
- The Slotting Heuristic is provided to schedule large quantities of orders (orders with lot size 1) for multi-variant products in the short-term horizon for make-to-order production. It provides relatively good results even if only executed for short runtimes. The use of the slotting heuristic is recommended when dealing with problems concerning mainly hard restrictions.
- You can include the slotting heuristic in a procedure package for the planning run in model mix planning or you can access it directly in the sequence schedule.
- Planning Requested Quantities
- The standard setting in production planning in APO until now was to plan the confirmed quantity in the sales order. In order to execute the model mix planning run on the basis of the requested quantity instead of the confirmed quantity, you had to set the indicator Planning with the Requested Quantity in Customizing for Model Mix Planning in the IMG activity Define Procedure Packages.
- In this release, planning is now executed as standard on the basis of the requested quantity. For this reason the indicator Planning with the Requested Quantity is no longer included in the procedure package.
- If you want to execute model mix planning on the basis of the confirmed quantity then you have to set the Planning with Confirmed Quantity for the PP planning procedure Manual Without Check you entered in the product master for the products you want to plan using model mix planning. For more information, refer to the release information Pegging-Relevant Quantity of a Schedule Line in the Sales Order.
- Planning Time Fence
- In SAP APO 4.0, you can now also use the Planning Time Fence in model mix planning. Using the planning time fence you can protect the results of planning from any further changes for products for which you entered a planning time fence in the form of working days in the product master. However, the planning time fence only applies if you execute the planning run with the following procedures for which you have defined a requirements-oriented planning basis:
- The planning time fence does not apply to any order-based procedures you use in the short-term horizon. And it is not taken into account for the processing functions in the sequence schedule either as, in this case, the planner deliberately changes the planning situation in the short-term planning horizon.
- Sequencing
- The Sequence Schedule has been Enhanced by the Following New Functions:
- Optimization Graphic
- Creation of visuatization profiles for displaying the 10 most important restrictions or characteristics directly in the sequence schedule.
- You can define the size of the individual charts in the sequence schedule.
- You can move forward late orders.
- Accessibility Functions
- To allow users with disibilities more accessible functions, you can now access rescheduling functions using icons. These functions were previously only available using drag and drop.
- Restrictions
- The Restrictions function has been enhanced by the following new functions:
- New tab page for maintaining the restriction quantities per day or per shift in table form.
- New dependency editor (enhanced editor from the iPPE environment) for maintaining the characteristic valuation.
- API interface for transferring restrictions from OLTP Systems.

The following changes have been made in Customizing for Model Mix Planning:
- The IMG activity "Define Characteristics View" has been renamed to Define Visualization Profiles.
- The IMG activity Define Slotting Heuristic has been added for defining the optimization parameters for this heuristic.
- The slotting heuristic was included as a new individual procedure in the IMG activity Define Procedure Packages and can now be included in a procedure package.
