Production capacity question

Hello everybody!!

I have a situation where I’m doing master planning both Operations scheduling ans Job scheduling, the issue is that I have two different products using the same resource, and AX is planning the production the same days although capacity is exceded.

I belive it has to be related with the planning direction (like backward from delivery date as both have the same delivery date) but I don´t find where to change it in master planning (like when scheduling a production order). Do I have the right assumptions or that is the way it should be and the planner must perform manual adjustments?

Thanks a lot!

If the resources are infinite then it will consume the resource over capacity, then the user manually re-plans and reschedules accordingly. If your resources were finite this would not happen.

Thanks for your reply AdamRoue,

I have checked Finite capacity at resource group level, Finite capacity at each resource (3), Finite capacity in the master plan I´m using, in Production control parameters-Std act-Programming also Finite capacity and still having the same result…

Based on your confirmation that with Finite capacity checked I should not get this results, I´ve looked for other posible causes…

I found that for the resource, the operations relation was created for different operations, I changed that and I have the expected result! I´ll still be doing some more validations, but think that would solve the issue, many thanks!!

Unfortunatelly when I changed the relation in the resource group, the route operation missed the relation with the ítem, therefore when I run master planning again, it only planned ítem 16115.500 which has the correct relation, but the other ítem T11.0007 was not planned at all, so it didn´t reserve capacity. That was why I was seen as if the total capacity was correctly considered.

When I repair the route-item relation capacity was overloaded again… with same days and qty as before…

Well it goes backwards from delivery date, and then if it cannot find time it will plan forward and give you action and future messages.

I would try to set everything to job scheduling first.

I would also check that there is capacity after the delivery date and that the coverage time fence can see it, so if the capacity is in 30 days ensure the time fence (capacity and coverage) cover this period.

AX2012 R3?

Well yes… ‘Finite capacity time fence’ field was the issue, it was set to 0 therefore there was not finite capacity considered at all, I increased it to 30 days so inside that period I’ll plan finite capacity and infinite outside. Some times the obvious was not so obvious [:$]

Thanks to Danny also where I also find the solution
