Scheduling Partially-Confirmed Operations (SAP Library

Scheduling Partially-Confirmed Operations

There are two ways of scheduling partially confirmed operations:

The system schedules partially-confirmed operations forwards from the actual finish date. Only the remaining duration is regarded as a duration.

The system calculates the remaining quantity for an operation according to the following formula:

Remaining quantity = original quantity - actual quantity

To calculate the duration of the operation segments, the remaining quantity and the forecast values or standard values must be entered into the formula if no forecast values were confirmed.

After the first partial completion confirmation, the duration for the setup is set to zero. The duration for teardown time is only set to zero at final confirmation.

Indicator Shift order: A control parameter for scheduling can be set in Customizing for confirmations for partial confirmations. This ensures that the order is shifted to a new date, that is, the actual dates of the operations are no longer taken into account. The system then calculates with the remaining duration of the operations, starting from the basic dates of the order.
