Diagnosis
You are attempting to set the scheduling and/or capacityplanning indicators for several scheduling levels. Please note thefollowing:
Because rough-cut, rate-based and detailed planning levels are entirelydifferent and production orders can only be updated on the detailedplanning level, problems may occur when calculating capacityrequirements.
If you convert a planned order into a production order, only thedetailed planning view is updated when you make changes in theproduction order. In detailed planning, the capacity requirementscalculated for rate-based planning are the same as they were for thelast planning status for rate-based scheduling of the planned order.
Setting the indicators for several scheduling levels means that anorder is scheduled at each level which causes a decrease inperformance. If possible, set the indicator for only one schedulinglevel.

Procedure
If you want to schedule on several different levels at the same time,you have to set the parameters for capacity planning and scheduling insuch a way that only one scheduling level is used to determine theorder basic dates.
If you already set the scheduling and/or capacityplanning indicators for

• rate-based scheduling and now you want to set them for detailed
scheduling,

• rate-based and detailed scheduling and now you want to set them only
for detailed scheduling because of poor performance,
note that all existing planned orders have to be scheduled again at alater time.

Example
If you would like to have universal planning for production rateoriented production, you have the following options:


• You can use the detailed scheduling level only. Set the
scheduling and/or capacity planning indicators. Then youcan also use rate routings in scheduling.

• You can use the detailed and rate-based scheduling levels. You can
determine basic order dates and remove bottlenecks by means of capacityleveling at the rate-based scheduling level. At the detailed schedulinglevel, you should only carry out capacity leveling for the basic orderdates determined by rate-based scheduling. This means you must set theparameters for detailed scheduling in Customizing in such a way thatthe basic order dates are not adjusted.
