Planning Calendar Calculation Rule detail information

Hello Every one,

I prepared this document to understand the detail information of the calculation rule of Planning Calendar.

• Planning calendar define flexible periods for a period lot-sizing procedure in master production scheduling (MPS) and in Material Requirement planning (MRP).
• System group to gather the entire requirement which fall with in period which mention in planning calendar from a lot.
• Planning calendar depend on the factory calendar, so whenever changes happens in factory calendar, we need to update the planning calendar

Pre-Requisite

• Planning calendar assign to the material in material master MRP view 2.
• Lot size assign In MRP Material master view 1 as PK (Period lot size acc. to plng calendar)

For creation/Change/Display of the planning calendar go to T: code, MD25/MD26/MD27

Create Planning calendar with respect to the Plant

• Please check below snap shot of Period and calendar

   4. Years ( WorkDays)

     This calculation rules similar to the above calculation rule Month ( Workdays)

     We can define the work Day/Days for year in planning calendar according to factory calendar.

   5. Workdays

• This calculation rule for create requirement for work days.
• Suppose if we create the requirement for 10 work days, in that case system create requirement after every10 working days
• We have to mention calculation start date.
• system not count the Non Working days as per Factory calendar changes

   6. Weekdays

• This calculation helpful to create the requirement for any week of workdays.
• We create the requirement for every alternate week “2”of Thursday “4”. We can create requirement for any week work days

Planning calendar additional future.

Planning calendar depend on the factory calendar, but in factory calendar some days are mention as non-working days. Suppose on this particular day requirement fall in that case system follow the below rules. Before calculation rule apply we need to select the one of the rules.

  1. Do not Displace :

• 04/14/2014, set as Holiday in Factory calendar and suppose period start falls on Same day
• In this case a system not displaced but calculates and creates the demand on Same period date
• Every week Tuesday working days calculation rule use in planning calendar

    2.  Following Working Day:

• 14/04/2014, set as Holiday in Factory calendar and suppose staring period falls on Same day
• In this case a system select the next working day.
• Here Next working day is 15/04/2014,
• Every week Tuesday working days calculation rule use in planning calendar

   3. Previous Working Day:

• 14/04/2014, set as Holiday in Factory calendar and suppose starting period falls on Same day
• In this case a system select the previous working day.
• Here Previous working day is 13/04/2014,
• Every week Tuesday working days calculation rule use in planning calendar

  4. No new Period:

• 14/04/2014, set as Holiday in Factory calendar and suppose starting period falls on Same day
• In this case a system not creates any period. 
• Every week Tuesday working days calculation rule use in planning calendar

I hope this detail document helpful to every one to understand the Planning calendar Calculation rule.
