MF50 Capacity Leveling With Production Order

Can we perform Capacity Leveling in planning table (tcode MF50) with respect to a Production Order? It is known that MF50 is used in Repetitive manufacturing to do the capacity leveling with respect to Planned orders. But in our discrete manufacturing scenario we want to use planning table to the capacity leveling with respect to a Production order.

---

MF50 does the capacity leveling based on material-run schedule order (planned order) where as in discrete manufacturing, when you run the MRP,  MRP system assume Infinite Capacity and schedule the order as per your selection in MD02 (2,1,3,3,2) and then you convert those planned order to Production order.  Here you checked the Capacity in Production Order level.

In standard SAP, it is not possible to use MF50 for discrete production order.

In discrete order or process order, do the capacity leveling, there are separate planning table available based on Overall Capacity Profile and Schedule type. This can be done in following way: 

1. CM31 - Production Order Wise - Tabular 

2. CM23 - PO wise -Graphical 

3. MC88 - Rough Cut Planning 

Work Centre Wise : CM21 - Graphical, CM22 - Tabular Planning Table.
 

Make sure the below set up before you carry on the Capacity leveling: 

Define time profile in OPD2

Define the strategy profile in OPDB

Define the Overall profiles in OPD0

In OPJK - maintained check capacity with SAPSFCG013 profile for your production order type 

In OPU3 - scheduling parameters: Generate Capacity, Scheduling Type, Automatic Log , Start date in Past as per your req.

In OPJU - check the control tab of the scheduling as per OPU3

In OPKP - Production scheduling parameters assigning the overall capacity profile - SAPSFCG013 with finite scheduling tick.
 

Master Data : 

1. Materials Master define the Production scheduler and production scheduling profile

2. Work Center - Define the capacity planner group, activate checkbox Relevant for Finite scheduling, on the capacity header define the shift timings, break timings and unit of measure, no of individual capacity, enter formula for scheduling in capacity view.

3. Routing - enter the values for the standard values. Use control key with scheduling.
