Calling Up the DS Planning Board in Order Processing 

Use

With the two differently configured detailed scheduling planning boards that you can invoke in the order processing view, you plan in the environment of the order that you are currently processing.

·        Planning board 1 shows a product chart in the standard system with the input and output products of the order. All orders for these products are shown in the diagram section. The order you are currently processing and the associated orders linked by pegging relationships are highlighted in color. Green lines are used to depict dynamic pegging relationships between orders, whereas red lines denote fixed pegging relationships.

·        Planning board 2 shows several charts in the standard system, including, for example, a resource chart in which the resources on which orders are to be executed are displayed. The situation of the operations on these resources with regard to time is represented for these resources.

In order processing and the DS planning board that you call up in order processing, you perform simulative planning - in a similar way to the directly called DS planning board - on the basis of the planning version for which you have called up order processing. In contrast to the directly called DS planning board, you cannot explicitly save the simulation version in order processing for further processing at a later date if required. If you exit and save order processing, you also copy the changes that you have performed in the DS planning board for the schedule to the planning version.

Procedure

...

       1.      If necessary, choose the profiles with which you wish to call up the DS planning board in the order processing view under Settings and Settings → User settings on the Profile tab page.

For more information, see Profile Maintenance.

       2.      Choose Context in the order processing view.

       3.      Choose the tab page with the desired DS planning board.

Only some of the functions and setting options are available for the DS planning board on the tab page that you call up via Planning Board.

       4.      To call up the DS planning board with full planning board functionality, choose Full Screen.

Results

The system sets up the DS planning board and you can analyze or process the detailed scheduling problems. If necessary, change the settings for the scheduling under Settings. For example:

·        The detailed scheduling strategies for manual scheduling, or for scheduling with the scheduling function rescheduling for

·        The settings for the DS heuristics

To return to order processing, choose Back.
