Generate Resource Requirements Profile for SCP

This document explains how to automatically generate resource requirements profiles for M3 SCP. It is also possible to create resource profiles manually.

Outcome

A resource requirements profile is created in the system.

The following tables are updated:

The structure header for RCCP (MRCHED)
The structure details for RCCP (MRCDET)
The SCP item group in RCCP (MRCBOM), if you use SCP item group as aggregation level.

The resource requirements profile is used in rough-cut capacity planning and contains information about manufacturing resources and constraints

Before you start

The structure type to be used for SCP must have been set in 'Settings - Product Structure' (CRS787/E).
SCP item groups and/or items to be used within the resource requirements planning must have been defined in 'SCP Item Group. Open' (SPS030) and/or 'Item. Open' (MMS001).
Work centers of type 4 must have been defined in 'Work Center. Open' (PDS010).

Follow These Steps

Start 'Resource Requirements Profile. Create' (RCS300/E).
Make the selections within which you want to generate resource requirements profiles.
Select identity type 1 (item number) or 5 (SCP item group).
Select the structure type to which the resource requirements profile should be connected.
Select the 'Include operations' check box.
Specify whether to include material in the profiles. If you want to include material, set the 'Include material' parameter to 2. You can also choose to include critical material only
On panel F, specify whether all the profiles of the selected products are re-created or whether only new products are included. You can also specify whether to re-create profiles on the highest level of the product structure only or also on lower levels.
Set the lead time interval (optional).
Press Enter to start generating resource profiles.

Parameters to Set


Program ID/Panel	Field	The field indicates …
(RCS300/E)	Facility from/to	… the range of facilities for which the resource requirement profiles should be created.
	Product number from/to	… the product number(s) for which resource requirement profiles should be created. The product number is the same as the in-house manufacturing item number, and is always used together with structures to describe what a product consists of and how it is manufactured.
	SCP item group from/to	… the SCP item group(s) for which the resource requirement profiles should be created.
	Responsible from/to	… the user ID(s) for which the resource requirement profiles should be created.
	Structure type from/to	… the structure type(s) for which the resource requirement profiles should be created.
	Item group from/to	… the item group(s) for which the resource requirement profiles should be created.
	Product group from/to	… the product group(s) for which the resource requirement profiles should be created.
	Item responsible from/to	… the item responsible(s) for which the resource requirement profiles should be created.
	Item type from/to	… the item type(s) for which resource requirement profiles should be created.
	Master scheduled from/to	… the type of master scheduled items for which resource requirements profiles should be created.
	Identity type	… whether the resource structure is specified only for one product or for a group of products. Resource structures for SCP must have identity type 1=Individual product (item number) or 5=SCP item group.
	To structure type	… the structure type to which the resource profile is connected.
	Include operation	… whether operations should be calculated when creating resource profiles.
	Include material	… whether material should be included in the calculation of resource requirement profiles. For SCP, the valid alternatives are 0=No and 2=Materials are included but not at the lowest level.
	Critical material only	… whether only material considered as critical should be included in the calculation. Material is set as critical in the product structure.
(RCS300/F)	Top level only	… whether profiles are created only for the highest level of the product structure
	New prof only	… whether only new resource requirement profiles should be created. These resource profiles are only created for products lacking previous resource profiles.
	Lead time interval	… the lead time interval for the resource, expressed in days. Example: If an operation has a lead time of 16 days and the interval is set to 10, then the lead time offset for the resource will be 20 days. The resource will always be put at the nearest multiple of the lead time interval.
