PP/DS: PP/DS - SNP Integration

Scope of Functions

If you used SNP and PP/DS to plan products in APO Release 1.1, you had to model real resources as both bucket and as single/multi-activity resources. When converting the SNP orders in to PP/DS orders, the single or multi-activity resources were loaded and the load on the bucket resource was removed. This lead to the following situation:

During the conversion, a PP/DS order is created outside the production horizon due to a lack of resource capacity. The SNP planner, however, sees the bucket resource as not loaded although in reality the real resource is loaded (even if it is only from PP/DS perspective).

As of Release 2.0A, it is now possible to define resources that allow a bucket approach (SNP) and a detailed approach (PP/DS), which enables you to use it for SNP as well in PP/DS. If PP/DS creates orders outside the production horizon, the SNP planner can see the resource load as a bucket requirement.

The new type of resource is referred to as a mixed resource. There are two different forms of this mixed resource: the single mixed resource (corresponds to the single-activity resource in PP/DS)and the multi-mixed resource (corresponds to the multi-activity resource in PP/DS).

Both forms of the mixed resources calculate the bucket capacity from the resource capacity. This has the following consequences:

  • The single mixed resource has a bucket capacity of the dimension time. It is calculated from the working time of the single-activity resource multiplied by a loss factor.
  • The capacity of a multi-mixed resource does not have a dimension or a unit (corresponds to a group of machines consisting of n same single- activity resources). This also results in a bucket capacity of the dimension time. It is calculated from the working time of the single-activity resource and multiplied by the capacity and a loss factor.

As in Supply Network Planning, neither setup nor sequence constraints are taken into account, the theoretically available bucket capacity can be reduced using a loss factor.

The mixed resources have practically no influence on the PPM maintenance. In a PPM for PP/DS, a single mixed resource is treated like a single-activity resource and a multi-mixed resource like a multi-activity resource. Both forms of mixed resources are maintained in a PPM for SNP like a bucket resource.

You are now able to specify for a PPM used in Supply Network Planning which PPM from PP/DS is to be used when you convert the order into a PP/DS order.

When selecting receipts to be converted from SNP orders into PP/DS orders, you are now able to limit the selection by products and/or locations. You can therefore convert all receipts, for example, in one location or for certain products only.

There are two new indicators in the planning version maintenance:

If you use PP/DS, you must set the PP/DS: Change planning active indicator to enable automatic planning to be triggered or planning file entries to be created when changes relevant to planning occur. This indicator is important when converting SNP orders into PP/DS orders. You need to set this indicator for the target planning version otherwise you will have to plan all orders manually.
