 Integrate as Heuristic in Production Planning Run

Use

You can use this function if you want to carry out the model mix planning run periodically in the background (such as every night or every weekend).

Integration

The production planning run is provided within production planning and detailed scheduling in the APO System for periodic planning with heuristics. For further information see Production Planning Run .

Prerequisites

In Customizing for Production Planning and Detailed Scheduling, you have to create a procedure package as a heuristic for the model mix planning run. To do this, enter the name of the procedure package as the heuristic, and the function module /SAPAPO/SEQ_MODELMIX_RUN_01 as the function.

Features

With the integration in the production planning run, you can have the system trigger a model mix planning run hourly, daily, weekly or monthly.
