My SAP experience - Only a user, not a programmer. I can maintain master data, but that's about it.
Currently, I have a list of sku #'s assigned to an MRP controller ( 482 ) that designates a certain group of sku's that share a common work center and therefore the same capacity with planning.
Current setup -
1. I have a 35 day time fence, so APO free-fall planning happens outside of the 35 day time fence.
2. On day 36, it will 'plan' enough production in one week, to get to the pre-set coverage ( 30,60,90 days ) - based off of secondary goals.
But APO, will plan more than my capacity to achieve this level of coverage.
Example - I can only produce 4000 total units per week for MRP 482, but APO keeps planning over 6,000 per week.
Therefore, I am having to manually decide which 4000 to run, rather than APO do it for me.
Can I set a limit in APO( per MRP controller ) to a maximum number of units ?
Thanks,
Alan
