SAP Note 712066 - Restrictions of the PP/DS optimizer

Component : Production Planning and Detailed Scheduling -

Summary :
This SAP Note outlines several limitations and considerations when using the Production Planning and Detailed Scheduling (PP/DS) optimizer. The optimizer is designed to enhance scheduling but does not guarantee optimum results. Key points include: no new orders or deletions in releases before SCM 7.0; no support for bucket resources or bi-finite planning prior to SCM 5.1, and single-activity resources use average setup times instead of sequence-dependent activities. Issues such as non-rescheduling of scheduling agreements and unsupported campaign planning features are also addressed. This note further details solutions and conditions affecting earlier SCM versions to maintain system compatibility and performance.

Key words :
order a2 continuously accepts, chronologically overlapping manufacturing order, infinite single-activity resources, exact continuous material flow, finite container resource planning, note 765320 describes compatibility restrictions, order lead time, bi-finite forecast, conti-io nodes, finite capacity modeling
