calculation, cost collector settlement)
39
Typical features of Repetitive Manufacturing (2)
Planned orders are used for production (planned orders are not converted to production
orders, they only obtain the new order type of the run schedule quantity- RSQ - when the
production version is assigned).
Finished products are confirmed with simultaneous backflushing of the components used.

PP/DS advantages (7)
PP/DS plans with exact times in hours and minutes. even for dependent requirements.
A wide range of standard heuristics can be used for the flexible design of planning processes, including a
bottom-up heuristic for bidirectional planning.
A multi-level view of material availability and capacity availability (pegging) is possible.
Enhanced options for capacity planning are available.
The creation of multi-level feasible planned order for sales orders is possible with Capable-to-Promise (CTP).
Optimization procedures to minimize setup times, setup costs, scheduling delays, alternative resource
selection, and so on, are conducted within Detailed Scheduling (DS).
Dynamic exception messages (Alerts) are created.
