Calling up a Simulation

You can start a simulation as follows:

From the SAP menu:

Choose Logistics Production Master data CAPP standard values and then Utilities Simulation .
When changing or displaying a formula, a method or a process:

Choose the menu options Environment Simulation .
From within work center maintenance:

On the screen Process Allocation choose the menu options Environment Simulation .

You reach the screen Simulate Calculation of Standard Values: Initial Screen. Enter the following data:

The Plant and the Work center , for which you want to carry out a simulation. You must enter this data for a simulation. If no process is allocated to the work center, you must also enter a process on the initial screen.
The P rocess for which you wanted to carry out the simulation. If no methods are allocated to this process then you must also enter the method that is to be tested on the initial screen.

If you have specified a process then that is the one the system uses, even if one or more processes are allocated to the work center.
The Method you want to calculate using the simulation. If you have specified a process to which a method is allocated, then you need not specify a method.

If you have specified a method then that is the one the system always uses. This is also the case if:
- one or more methods are allocated to the work center using a process
- one or more methods are allocated to the specified process.
  
  Note
  Any number of method calculations can be simulated. The work center and the method entered for the simulation need not be linked to one another.
  
  End of the note.

Specify whether the simulation is to be manual or automatic . With an automatic simulation the calculations take place in the background.
