Window

Table section width, zoom factor, update interval

Marking

Marking color, marking type, selectability of objects

You can also change these settings on the planning board under Settings → Selection and adopt these settings in the current planning board profile.

Separators

Horizontal line between the rows in the diagram section

Vertical lines between the columns in the table section

Time scale, formatting, and scale

You can change the time scale in the planning board under Settings → Time Scale , and adopt this setting in the current planning board profile. You can hide the display of the time scale for the individual charts.

For more information, see Zoom Planning Board .

Increment for displaying the date and for determining the desired scheduling date/time when manually scheduling and rescheduling activities, operations, and orders

You can change the increment on the planning board under Settings → Increment , and adopt this setting in the current planning board profile.

Selecting alternative resources when manually scheduling and rescheduling activities, operations, and orders

This function is very performance-intensive.

Alternative unit of measure

You can specify the preferred unit of measure for displaying the quantities of products. The system uses this unit to display all products for which the relevant unit of measure is defined as the alternative unit of measure in the master data. If the unit of measure is not defined for the product, the system uses the base unit of measure.

You can also switch the unit of measure interactively for selected products on the DS planning board.

Automatically expand rows with multiple loading

The times for various activities, operations, and orders may overlap (that is, the graphical objects may overlap within a row). In this case, you can choose a multiple row display.

You can also explode the multiple loading on the detailed scheduling planning board.

Expand rows in the event of closeness of dates/times

If activities, operations, or orders are temporally so close to each other that the difference can no longer be graphically displayed, the system can also show this in a multirow format.

Title

Short description of the chart

Chart type

The following chart types are available:

Resource chart

Product chart

Order chart

Operation chart

Scheduling function performed by the system when you manually reschedule an activity, operation, or order using Drag&Drop

You have the following options:

Schedule/reschedule

Deallocate

No action

Field selection for the columns

The chart type determines which fields you can select for the table section in each case.

For performance reasons, you should display as few columns as possible.

Column title

You can hide the display of the time scale and the column titles for the individual charts.

Sorting of columns

Row format (font, color)

Depends on information shown.

Objects represented

The following objects can be represented, depending on the chart type:

Activities

Operations

Orders

Product stock, resource utilization, fill level

Time relationships between operations and pegging relationships between orders

The color of the lines used to represent the relationships of the objects is set by SAP:

Blue: Time relationship between operations within an order

Yellow: Time relationship between operations from different orders

Green: Dynamic pegging relationship

Red: Fixed pegging relationship

Graphical representation of the activities, operations, and orders and their labeling ( graphical objects)

You define the graphical representation depending on the characteristics of the operations and orders (for example, depending on status).

You can change the graphical representation in the legend .

Display campaigns

A campaign is highlighted by a narrow bar in a resource chart. The bar is located behind the graphical objects for the operations belonging to the campaign.

For more information, see Campaign Functions on the Detailed Scheduling Planning Board .

Display histogram

The colors of the curve line can be defined in Customizing. You can specify whether the area below zero is to be displayed in red.

You can use the following BAdIs to influence the line and the color:

/SAPAPO/CDPS_MC_CDAT (Change Curve Data for Product Stock Chart)

/SAPAPO/CDPS_FC_CDAT (Change Curve Data for Fill Level Chart)
