Function documentationCalling the Scheduler Workplace by Work Priority Locate this document in the navigation structure

 

As the resource planner, you can decide how the order worklist is to be generated or for which period before you call the workplace.

Prerequisites

  • You have defined the authorizations using either authorization paths or authorization object /MRSS/PB1 and assigned them to your employees. You can specify your authorization concept in the IMG activity   SAP Multiresource Scheduling   Basic Settings   Configure Basic Settings  .

  • In Customizing for SAP Multiresource Scheduling, you have defined the planning horizon.

    In the scheduler workplace, you can redefine the planning horizon to meet your requirements by choosing   Extras   Settings  .

    As the resource planner, if you want to change the period before you open the workplace, you can display an entry screen on which you can enter the necessary data. To do so, choose   Extras   Settings   Access via Period Dialog Box  . If you want to change the period while planning resources, choose   Edit   Change Period  .

Features

  • /MRSS/PLBOORGSRV (Planning Board – General)

    This transaction is the most extensive transaction for calling the scheduler workplace. When you access it, the system displays all of the options for choosing resources and demands. You can select the resources using resource planning nodes and personnel numbers, enter a period, and restrict the resource selection to those with on-call availability. You can select demands using resource planning nodes, enter them directly, or restrict the selection according to the order type or user status. You can also enter a period for the demands that is different to the period for resources.

  • /MRSS/PLBOORGM (Planning Board for Resource Planning Nodes)

    This transaction provides all of the options in transaction /MRSS/PLBOORGSRV except the option of entering individual resources or on-call types as selection criteria.

  • /MRSS/PLBOORG (Planning Board via Resource Planning Structure)

    This transaction calls the scheduler workplace directly and displays the resource planning structure in the organizational levels manager.

  • /MRSS/PLBOSRV (Planning Board for Demands)

    This transaction enables you to call specific demands directly. To find demands using specific criteria (such as demands for a particular work center), use the input help.

  • /MRSS/PLBOTIME (Scheduler Workplace)

    This is the transaction with which the resource planner works most frequently. The resource planner is assigned to an organizational unit and is therefore responsible for planning its resources. This transaction displays all of the orders for this group in the worklist within a specific period, along with the resources of all operations.

    Note Note

    You can create assignments even though you are not assigned to the organizational unit as a resource planner. However, to do so you require the relevant authorization.

    You can also use this transaction to change the period or planning horizon (as described in the section for the previous transaction).

    End of the note.

  • /MRSS/PLBOMGR (Planning Board for Managers)

    This transaction is a special case since it only displays the planning situation and does not permit you to make any changes (see Manager Planning Board).
