3. EL CAMBIO EN LA CONCEPCION DE LA GUERRA
3.5 La guerra justa de Grocio
Exercise Objectives
After completing this exercise, you will be able to:
• Assign production quantities to production lines, taking capacity into account. The production quantities either originate from MRP or they were created manually and assigned to the production lines in the ECC planning table.
Business Example
In your plant 1200 in Dresden, you produce the personal computer Maxitec-R 375. Different production lines are available for manufacturing the assemblies and for final assembly. You are the production planner for the production lines and you also control the lower-level production lines. It is your job to assign the production quantities to the production lines taking available capacity into account. It is also your job to plan the production lines for final assembly and the production lines for manufacturing the assemblies.
Task 1:
First, use the planning table to assign the planned orders to the production lines, taking available capacity into account. Start by planning the quantities for the final assembly on the production lines:
1. Access the planning table using Selection by production line for the final assembly production line T-L1##.
Use the tab pages on the initial screen of the planning table – if you have not previously done so – to make detailed settings for the selection criteria.
On the Scheduling tab page, set the Rate-based plng indicator (so that the system displays the capacity requirements you created).
Also set the Capacity planning indicator so that you can see the capacity requirements in the planning table.
In the Prod./basic dates field, enter Basic dates. On the Control data tab page, activate the Line overview indicator.
Hint: Using the line overview indicator instructs the system to display other production lines in the planning table, if the materials produced on line T-L1##can also be produced on other production lines.

On the MRP segments tab page, choose:
MRP segment display: Disaggregated display.
Caution: Save your entries in the initial screen of the planning table for your user so that you do not have to repeat the selection every time you access the planning table. To do this, use the menu path Settings → Save.
Then choose Planning table. The system displays another dialog box. Here, select all listed production lines and confirm your selection by choosing Enter.
You are now in the planning table.
2. What is the order type of the planned orders? To find out, double-click a planned order and look at the Order type field.
______________________________________________________
3. Work with the assignment mode so that you can assign the as yet unassigned planned orders for the customer Hitech AG to the production lines. Select the Not assigned row before you activate the assignment mode.
Now assign the quantities per day: Place quantities on the first T-L1##
production line until this line is at full capacity. You can assign any remaining quantities to the production line T-L2##.
Hint: The planned orders for the planned quantities (order type VP) cannot be assigned. Reason: You selected the make-to-order planning strategy “Planning without final assembly” for the personal computer T-F10##. In this strategy, final assembly is not triggered until a sales order is received (and not before). Using this planning strategy, the planning quantities for the next two weeks only exist to make sure that the assemblies (for example, the mother board T-B10##) can be produced to stock. This means that final assembly can be carried out more quickly on receipt of the sales order.
Final assembly is carried out per customer using make-to-order production. There are other planning strategies available (such as
“planning with final assembly”), for which planned orders can be created for the planned quantities. You will use the “Planning with final assembly” strategy in the next exercise. In this case, you can carry out final assembly before receiving the sales order.
4. What order type do the planned orders have now that they have been assigned to production lines? To find out, double click on an assigned planned order and look at the Order type field (next to the status field).
______________________________________________________
Caution: Exit the planning table by choosing Save.
Task 2:
Now use the planning table to assign the quantities for the assembly production to the production lines.
1. To do this, access the planning table again using Selection by production line. Now, choose the production line T-L3## on which the assembly is produced.
Enter the same selection criteria for final assembly in the tab pages in the initial screen of the planning table as you set when planning the line load (on the Scheduling tab page, set the Rate-based plng indicator, the Capacity planning indicator, and the Basic dates entry. On the Control data tab page, set the Line overview indicator).
Then choose Planning table. The system displays another dialog box. Here, select all listed production lines and confirm your selection by choosing Enter.
You are now in the planning table again.
2. Work with assignment mode again to assign the as yet unassigned planned orders for the T-B10## material to the production lines.
When making the assignments, make sure that the daily capacity load utilization for line T-L3## does not exceed 100%. You can place any remaining quantities on the production line T-L4##.
Hint: No dependent requirements and therefore no planned orders are visible for material T-B11## as material T-B11## is not contained in the BOM for the personal computer T-F10##. Material T-B11## can, however, also be produced on production line T-L3##.
Caution: Exit the planning table by choosing Save.
Solution 4: Line Loading Planning with SAP ECC
Task 1:
First, use the planning table to assign the planned orders to the production lines, taking available capacity into account. Start by planning the quantities for the final assembly on the production lines:
1. Access the planning table using Selection by production line for the final assembly production line T-L1##.
Use the tab pages on the initial screen of the planning table – if you have not previously done so – to make detailed settings for the selection criteria.
On the Scheduling tab page, set the Rate-based plng indicator (so that the system displays the capacity requirements you created).
Also set the Capacity planning indicator so that you can see the capacity requirements in the planning table.
In the Prod./basic dates field, enter Basic dates. On the Control data tab page, activate the Line overview indicator.
Hint: Using the line overview indicator instructs the system to display other production lines in the planning table, if the materials produced on line T-L1##can also be produced on other production lines.
On the MRP segments tab page, choose:
MRP segment display: Disaggregated display.
Caution: Save your entries in the initial screen of the planning table for your user so that you do not have to repeat the selection every time you access the planning table. To do this, use the menu path Settings → Save.
Then choose Planning table. The system displays another dialog box. Here, select all listed production lines and confirm your selection by choosing Enter.
You are now in the planning table.

a) First activate the assignment mode so that you can assign quantities to the production lines.
To do this, in the lower section of the “Material data” table, select the Not yet assigned row for the customer “Hitech AG” (by selecting the button at the beginning of the row).
Then choose (Switch on/off assignment mode). A symbol appears at the start of the row, signifying that you are in assignment mode for this row.
Now you can assign the planned quantities that are in the “Not yet assigned” row to the production lines.
Hint: When assigning quantities, simply enter the various planned order quantities in the respective columns for production line T-L1##, choose Enter, and check the capacity data in the upper section of the screen.
4. What order type do the planned orders have now that they have been assigned to production lines? To find out, double click on an assigned planned order and look at the Order type field (next to the status field).
