  Updating the Simulation Version

Use

You use this function if you want to take account of the current status of the scheduling for the planning versionin the simulation versionthat you are currently processing (for example, on the DS planning board ).

During the update, the system merges the planning data from the planning version with that of the simulation version. During merging, the system adopts only planning data that has a higher priority than the simulative scheduling in the simulation version. The following have higher priority, for example:

  • Confirmed operations

  • Deleted orders

  • Changed order quantities

  • Orders changed in SAP R/3

    Example Example

    If, for example, you have shifted an operation to another date/time on the DS planning board (that is, in the simulation version) and the operation in the planning version has been confirmed in the meantime, the system adopts the confirmed operation in the simulation version. The confirmation has a higher priority than the rescheduling. If the operation in the planning version was also "only" rescheduled, the date of the operation in the simulation version has a higher priority.

    End of the example.

You can interactively invoke the update function in the application. In the planning board profile, you can specify for the DS planning board ( Update Interval field) that the system is to automatically update the simulation version at regular intervals.

Activities

To update the simulation version, choose Update . The system updates the simulation version and displays the updated data. If you execute the update on the DS planning board, the system determines the objects to be displayed on the planning board in exactly the same way as when the planning board is invoked, that is:
