You can use the heuristic SAP_PI_002
to reduce or even eliminate any gaps between operations on a resource. You do this by reducing the rate, thereby stretching activities either forward or backward, as required.
Note
You cannot exceed the maximum stretch factor assigned in the Resource Master. If any gap remains even after running the heuristic, you must find other means to close the gap.
Once you change the rate of an activity, the changed value is retained even after the rescheduling. You must set the original rate manually, if and when required.
The following master data is maintained:
Location
Product
Resource
PPM and/or PDS for a Production Planning for process industries (PP-PI) scenario
You have activated the business function SCM-APO-PPS, Continuous Production and Multi-Resource Scheduling (SCM_APO_PPDS_PI
).
The heuristic has been added to the heuristic profile to be accessible from the Detailed Scheduling Planning Board
