Documentation
Definition
Indicates whether a mode linkage exists between two related activities.
Use
You use mode linkage if two related activities must be linked for optimization or explosion.
The following options for mode linkage exist:
- Linkage of modes with identical names
The modes of the activities must have identical names for linkage. The activities must also have the same number of modes.
- Linkage of modes according to primary resource
The modes of two activities that are assigned to the same primary resource are linked. In this case, the names of the modes are unimportant.
Dependencies
In exceptional cases, the mode linkage can be violated during planning.
You can be informed of these situations in the Alert Monitor by means of dynamic alerts.
To activate this option you must first select the following alerts in the alert profile on the PP/DS tab page:
Mode Linkage Violated Within an Order (under Constraint Alerts Within Order)
Mode Linkage Violated Between Orders (under Constraint Alerts Cross Order)
Example
Linkage of modes with identical names
Activity 1 2
Mode abc abc
The modes with identical names are linked for activities 1 and 2.
Linkage of modes according to primary resource
Activity 1 2
Mode abc def
Primary resource 123 123
