PPDS OSS Order Split Heuristic

SAP Note 701496 details the order split heuristic for dividing planned orders into multiple new orders in the detailed scheduling planning board or product view. The heuristic allows planners to interactively select orders, specify split quantities or times, and creates new orders while maintaining the original order's status. It is primarily suitable for low-complexity order structures and has specific restrictions regarding the types of orders that can be split.

701496 - Order split heuristic


Component: SCM-APO-PPS-HEU-PP (Supply Chain Management > Advanced Planning and Optimization >
Production Planning and Detailed Scheduling > Heuristics > PP Heuristics), Version: 12, Released On:
06.06.2011

Symptom
In the detailed scheduling planning board or in the product view, you want to be able to
divide existing orders interactively into several new orders. An order split heuristic
allows you to divide individually selected orders in this way. This consulting note
summarizes the relevant information concerning this order split heuristic.

Other Terms
Order split

Reason and Prerequisites

Solution
General functions
You can use the heuristic to split interactively selected planned orders in the detailed
scheduling planning board or the product view into several new orders.

General functions of the heuristic:


The planner selects the planned order to be split and starts the heuristic.
The planner selects the desired split option in the heuristic dialog box, enters the
necessary specifications and starts the heuristic.
The selected original order is deleted before the new orders are created.
The new orders are created one immediately after the other in the gap that is created,
taking the valid planning direction into account.
The new orders receive the same order status as the original order.
If an order cannot be scheduled (for example, due to an overlap with another order and
therefore with an overload on a finite resource), it is created with "Descheduled"
status.
The total of the new order quantities corresponds to the order quantity in the original
order.

Depending on the planning direction in the strategy, the new orders are created as follows:
Forward planning direction: After the original order is deleted, the first order is
created with the same start date/time. All subsequent new orders receive the end
date/time of the previous order for their start date/time.
Backward planning direction: After the original order is deleted, the first order is
created with the same end date/time. All subsequent new orders receive the start
date/time of the previous order for their date/time.

In the case of conflicting requirements in a customer project, you can copy the order split
heuristic as a template for new, customer-specific split heuristics and adjust it.
Area of application
The order split heuristic described in this note is suitable primarily for order structures
of low complexity, that is, with few operations and activities.
The heuristic is not suitable for highly complex orders, for example, those with many
operations.
Before using the heuristic, you must check that the procedure described here is suitable for
all the orders that are to be planned and for the execution of the planning process. Perform
tests to establish this.
Operation
Starting the order split heuristic:
The planner selects a planned order in the detailed scheduling planning board and starts
the heuristic using the menu "Functions" > "Heuristics" > "Interactive Order Splitting".
The planner selects a planned order in the product view and starts the "Interactive
Order Splitting" heuristic in change mode.
The system reads the relevant data for the selected order and displays it in a dialog box
together with the split options and the active planning strategy:
The most important general sales order data is listed in the order overview.
There are two different split options:
Splitting according to a split quantity: The planner can choose any order quantity
between zero and the original order quantity. The heuristic will then replace the
original order with two new orders by assigning the specified split quantity to the
first order and the remaining quantity to the second order. You can also set the
"Multiple split" indicator, which causes the heuristic to use the split quantity to
create as many new orders as possible based on the original quantity.
Splitting at a split time: You can execute the order split at a specific time during
a production activity of the order. Your chosen split time must fall between the
start and finish of the production activity that is displayed. If the order contains
several production activities, the dialog box contains an additional "Operation
List" pushbutton, which you must use to select one of the activities as the basis
for the split.
The active strategy profile and Customizing ID are displayed under the planning
strategy.
After selecting the split option and specifying the split quantity or the split time, you
can select the following functions:
'Continue': Executes the heuristic after the input data has been successfully checked.
'Information': Displays detailed information about the heuristic functions.
'Check Your Entries': Checks that your entries are complete and plausible, without
executing the heuristic.
'Strategy': Starts the planning strategy maintenance.
'Cancel': Terminates the heuristic
After the heuristic has been started and your entries checked, the order quantities for the
new orders are calculated and created in accordance with the valid planning direction.

Notes on the internal quantity calculation:


With both procedures, the system takes the product and PPM/PDS lot sizes as well as the
rounding values or profiles of the production master into account when it calculates the
quantities. After the order split, this may lead to unanticipated results for the new
order quantities.
You will usually have to round off the order quantities for the split at a chosen split
time, which makes an automatic shift of the split time necessary. After the split, the
system issues a message telling you that an alternative split time has been assigned.
Restrictions
The heuristic can be executed interactively only.
The heuristic described here can be used to split planned orders only (ATP categories
AI, AJ, AK, AL). If you want to split additional order categories, you must include the
corresponding ATP categories as valid category constants in the /SAPAPO/HEUR_ORDER_SPLIT
algorithm heuristic module.
You can split individually selected orders only.
The heuristic does not take into account the available capacity in the resource or setup
times. Order splitters that cannot be planned, which, for example, may be triggered by
fixed setup times between the new orders, are usually created as deallocated.
You are not allowed to split fixed production planning (PP) or detailed scheduling (DS)
orders. If this is not acceptable and the planner wants to impose a confirmation, you
must adjust the module /SAPAPO/HEUR_ORDER_SPLIT accordingly (the LC_PP_FIXED /
LC_DS_FIXED constants must be set to "false").
You can split orders within the freeze horizon. If the planner wants to impose a
confirmation, adjust the /SAPAPO/HEUR_ORDER_SPLIT module accordingly (the
LC_FIXED_HORIZON constant must be set to "false").
The heuristic does not support splitting orders for process industries (PI) with a split
time.
Splitting of Rapid Planning Matrix (RPM) orders using the module
/SAPAPO/HEUR_ORDER_SPLIT is not supported, as no operations are used in this case.
Enabling the heuristic
To enable the heuristic, carry out the following steps:
Call transaction /SAPAPO/CDPSC11 to access Customizing for heuristic maintenance.
Choose 'New Entries'.
Enter the Z_PP_SPLIT technical heuristic name with a description and choose the
/SAPAPO/HEUR_ORDER_SPLIT algorithm function module.
Save your entries.
Use the new Z_PP_SPLIT heuristic in the heuristic profile that you want.
