Optimization Profile (Enhanced)

Use

As of SAP SCM 5.0, the following usability improvements were made in the optimization profile for PP/DS optimization:

• Tab page reorganization

The optimization parameters were grouped according to topic, and redistributed on the individual tab pages. Some fields were deleted.

For additional information, see the IMG documentation on the optimization profile.

• New functions for automatically defining technical parameters

• Deliver standard optimization profiles for specific scenarios

The changes are described below in more detail:

Reorganization of Tab Pages

Basic Settings

This tab page contains all basic parameters that are defined by the production planner.

As of SAP SCM 5.0, the following fields were added to the tab page:

• Backwards Scheduling

• Compact Scheduling (new function)

The Total Lead Time field was renamed Makespan.

The following fields were removed from this tab page:

• Optimization Procedure

• Backward Pegging

• Parameter for Message Output

These three parameters can now be found on the Extended Settings tab page.

Order Processing

• The field Do Not Consider Subsequent Orders was added to the Lower Levels area (new function).

• To define processing for operations that were already released, you can use the following options in addition to the option Fix Released Operation:

• Reschedule Released Operation

This option allows optimization to reschedule operations that have already been released.

Fix All Operations of an Order

If you choose this option, the system will fix all operations of an order. At least one of these operations must already be released.

• The Observe Latest Start or End Dates field was deleted.

Resource Processing

The Consider Storage Properties field was deleted. The function Consider Storage Properties for Resources is no longer available.

Horizon This tab page was redesigned. You can define the start and the end of the optimization horizon as well as the start of the optimized plan in relation to the start date of the optimization run. You can also define absolute values here.

Additional Strategies

• The additional settings Resource Selection Unchanged and Freely Selectable Resources for backwards scheduling were removed.

• Decomposition was enhanced with the Automatic Decomposition option.

Multi-Agent Optimization

This tab page was completely deleted. You can now find the settings for parallel optimization on the Expert Settings tab page.

Expert Settings

• The Extended Settings tab page was renamed Expert Settings as of SAP SCM 5.0.

• The Runtime Distribution tab page was enhanced with the parameters for automatic runtime distribution.

• Log

Previously, you could only specify the maximum number of new messages and the message types. As of SAP SCM 5.0, you can make additional settings for logging the optimization results and other results. See also: Optimization Log (Enhanced)

• The Skip Data Consistency Check field was deleted. The system now carries out a consistency check for optimization in the very first step.

Automatic Settings for Technical Parameters

As of SAP SCM 5.0, the system can now automatically determine the parameters for the following technical processes:

• Decomposition

Here, the system determines when it will execute decomposition, and how large the number of activities is to be combined into a partial problem (determine the window size).

• Runtime Distribution

Here, the system determines how the runtime is distributed on the different optimization phases.

The automatic parameterization is already defined in the standard profiles. However, you can choose to manually select and define these parameters yourself.

Standard Optimization Profiles for Selected Scenarios

SAP delivers the following new standard profiles for PP/DS optimization:

• SAP_SHORT: Short-Term Optimization

This optimization profile contains the basic settings for optimization in the short-term planning horizon, such as the next shift or the following week. In the short-term planning horizon, it is important to create a feasible plan and aim for high resource utilization.

• SAP_MID: Medium-Term Optimization

This optimization profile contains the basic settings for optimization in the medium-term planning horizon, such as the following two to four weeks or the following month. In the medium-term planning horizon, it is important to plan according to requirements, and obtain information about possible capacity bottlenecks.

• SAP_BOTTOMUP: Do Not Consider Requirement Dates

This optimization profile contains the basic settings for level-by-level planning of raw materials up to the finished product. This procedure is useful for reconciling different product levels or plants if planning for the first (lowest) production level is important.

• SAP_TOPDOWN: Do Not Consider Receipt Dates

This optimization profile contains the basic optimization settings for level-by-level planning using the planned independent requirements up to the raw materials on the lowest BOM level. This procedure is useful for reconciling different production levels or plants if the requirements are important for planning, and when no capacity or material bottlenecks are to be expected in the lower levels.
