How to use MF50

[former_member215620]

Dear All Experts,

I want to know that use of MF50. Following are my doubts -

1) Can we create the automatic planned order in sap through MF50. If yes the how (if possible please give the steps)

2) There is scheduling and Capacity tab in the initial screen. how can we use it. In which scenario we are going to use it

Please explain if possible.

Dear

Dear ,

MF50 is does the cacapcity leveling based on mateail -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 checkied the Capacity in Production Order level .

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

In discrete order or process order ,  do the caapcity leveling , there are seperate planning table available based on Over all 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: Ruf 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 , scheduleing parametre s: Generate Capacity , Scheduling Type , Automatic Log ,Start date in Past as per your req.

In OPJU , chekc the contol tab of the scheduleing as per OPU3

In OPKP- Production scheduling paranmeters assing the overall capacity profile -SAPSFCG013  with finte scheduling tick.

Master Data :

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

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

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

Hope this will help you .

Dear All,

I am going through SAP Help but in addition to that can you provide some help on capacity planning through MF50.

We do capacity planning before planned order creation or after planned order creation.

Hi,

Please find the answers as below

1) Can we create the automatic planned order in sap through MF50. If yes the how (if possible please give the steps)

From MF50 you can create planned orders. suppose you have one planned order created by MRP. If you want to split that planned order in to two planned orders means you want to execute that planned order on two different production lines then you can do that in the MF50 screen.

2) There is scheduling and Capacity tab in the initial screen. how can we use it. In which scenario we are going to use it

MF50 basically used to assign the planned orders (created by MRP run) to different Production lines as per the feasibility. check the below link which is explained with screen shots.

Hello

On transaction MF50 you may create planned orders manually. If you want to have planned orders generated automatically you must run MRP.

It is also possible to run capacity leveling through transaction MF50. You can find more details on the following link:
