 Defining Selection Conditions for Resource Planning Table

Use

You invoke the resource planning table via a selection screen on which you specify the selection conditions for the resources that are to be invoked in the table.

Features

The system determines the resources for the resource planning table from the following data:

Overall Profile:

The overall profile is adopted from the user settings and displayed on the initial screen. Upon the first invocation of the resource planning table, the system adopts the overall profile SAP001. You can change this overall profile at any time.

In the user settings, you can specify whether the subprofiles are to be taken from the overall profile or whether you want to specify your own subprofiles (see Profiles for the Resource Planning Table ).

Planning Version

The resources created in the planning version are available for the resource planning table.

Time Period:

The system determines the period from the time profile you specify in the overall profile or user settings. For the current session, you can also directly specify a different time profile or change the dates of start/end of display or start/end of planning. However, you cannot save the changes.

You define the time profile in Customizing under Start of the navigation path Advanced Planning and Optimization Next navigation step Supply Chain Planning Next navigation step Production Planning and Detailed Scheduling (PP/DS) Next navigation step Detailed Scheduling Next navigation step Maintain Time Profiles. End of the navigation path

Work Area:

You create the work area in Customizing for Detailed Scheduling. There you create sets for resources, products, and/or orders that the work area contains.

Because only resources are displayed on the resource planning table, the system determines the associated resources and operations for the resource planning table in the case of products or orders.

You can specify the work area in the overall profile. It is then adopted from the overall profile and displayed on the initial screen of the resource planning table. If you have not specified a work area in the overall profile, specify the work area or the necessary sets of resources, products, or orders directly on the selection screen.

You can also change the settings from the work area on the initial screen.

  • You can temporarily change the data from the work area for the current invocation on the initial screen (e.g. change sets or add new sets).

  • You can make changes and save them.

    • And overwrite the existing work area

      Note Note

      If you change an existing work area and then save, the system performs a namespace check. This is because you are not allowed to change standard SAP work areas.

      End of the note.

    • Or create a new work area by assigning a new name to the work area.

  • You can completeley delete the entry for the work area and the entries for the sets using the Empty Work Area function.

    • You can then specify new selection conditions for the products, resources, or orders, and thus temporarily start the resource planning table.

    • You can save the data for the selection conditions in a new work area. To do so, choose Save Work Area Under….

Restrictions for Selection

  • With regard to the selection of the resources, you can specify that you only wish to choose bottleneck or finitely planned resources.

  • The filter indicators that you can set on the detailed scheduling planning board are not displayed and not taken into account in the resource planning table.

Activities

  1. Starting from the SAP Easy Access mySAP Supply Chain Management screen, choose Start of the navigation path Advanced Planning and Optimization Next navigation step Production Planning Next navigation step Interactive Production Planning Next navigation step Detailed Scheduling Next navigation step Resource Planning Table. End of the navigation path

    The selection screen for the product planning table appears.

  2. Make the necessary settings and check the User Settings .

  3. Enter the work area.

    The sets created in Customizing for the work area are adopted and displayed.

    • If you want to change a set, enter the new selection criteria that are to apply to the set on the corresponding tab page.

    • If you wish to add a new set, choose Create New Set and enter the selection criteria for the new set.

    • To delete a set, choose Delete Current Set.

    • To reverse all changes, choose Undo Changes.

    • To delete all data on the sets, choose Empty Work Area .

    • If you want to save changes, choose Save Work Area Under… .

      A dialog box appears, in which you have to specify a work area, a user-specific work area ID, and a language-dependent description for the work area.

      If you do not save the changes, they apply only temporarily for the current invocation of the resource planning table.

      If you have created several sets for a work area, you can scroll between the individual sets using the arrow buttons at the bottom of the tab page.

      If sets exist for objects, the system selects the tab page with a checkmark (tick) .

  4. Choose Execute to invoke the resource planning table.

  5. You can extend the selection in the application itself and select further resources. To do so, choose Extend Selection…. .

    The system extends the selection criteria you specified on the initial screen by the additional data. When you create a simulation version, the system uses all the sets that exist at the time of saving (see Editing the Simulation Version ).

    Note Note

    The Extend Selection… function is not available for orders.
