Capacity Leveling (Enhanced)

Use

The existing capacity leveling functionality in Supply Network Planning (SNP) has been redesigned and enhanced for SAP APO 4.0.

You can use the enhanced capacity leveling function for heuristic-based planning in SNP to remove resource overloads and move orders or partial order quantities into previous or subsequent time periods (using forward or backward scheduling). SNP capacity leveling is used to level specific bottleneck resources. It is run locally on a resource in a specified horizon, which means that dependencies with other resources are ignored.

These are the main enhancements:

  • Capacity leveling in the background: In addition to the already existing option for accessing capacity leveling in interactive Supply Network Planning, it is now also possible to run capacity leveling in the background. The benefit of this is that you can select several resources for leveling (which can then be processed in sequence). This function is also especially suited to large data volumes and complex models.
You find this function in Supply Network Planning -> Planning -> Supply Network Planning in the Background -> Capacity Leveling.
  • Capacity leveling profile: You have the option of using various parameters to control capacity leveling. You can define these parameters in a profile that you can then specify when running capacity leveling in interactive planning or in the background. However, you can also specify the parameters manually or overwrite individual profile parameters before each capacity leveling run.
You define the capacity leveling profile in Customizing for SNP by following this menu path: Profiles -> Define SNP Capacity Leveling Profiles or in the SAP APO Easy Access menu: Supply Network Planning -> Environment -> Current Settings -> Profiles -> Define SNP Capacity Leveling Profiles.
  • Different leveling methods: You can choose between three leveling methods: Heuristic, optimizer, and BAdI. You can use the BAdI to connect your own leveling method to the system.
