Summary :
This SAP Note describes various scheduling modes used in SAP systems for operations planning. These modes fall into simple and complex categories, affecting how orders are rescheduled within the system. Simple modes, like 'Infinite scheduling' and 'Search for gap', handle individual or specific sequences of orders without disrupting others, making their outcomes easier to replicate. Complex modes, including 'Insert operation' and 'Squeeze in operation', may lead to extensive adjustments across multiple operations, resulting in outcomes that are difficult to reproduce due to their interdependencies. Sequence-dependent setups and block planning introduce additional complexity and require adherence to specific constraints to ensure effective scheduling. Users must be cautious of the operational sequences when using scheduling modes, particularly in environments involving multiple resources, to prevent conflicting schedules.
