Documentation
Definition
You can use this indicator during the production smoothing/leveling procedure (Heijunka) to specify that different planned orders for a material are to be dispatched consecutively within a planning period.
Use
In the production smoothing procedure (Heijunka), planned orders within a period are dispatched according to the principle of prioritized equal distribution. This procedure ensures maximum possible mixing of the planned orders for different materials within a period during dispatching.
If you do not want the orders to be mixed in this way, set this indicator. All planned orders for a material within a planning period are then dispatched consecutively, starting with the material with the largest order quantity in the period.
Dependencies
Example
The worklist for a planning period consists of 2 planned orders each for materials A, B, and C.
Based on the prioritized equal distribution principle, the oders are distributed uniformly within the planning period during the dispatching. A possible resulting sequences would be A, B, C, A, B, C.
If, on the other hand, you want planned orders for a material to be dispatched consecutively, the resulting sequence during dispatching would be A, A, B, B, C, C.
