| # Group Sets for Service Orders (tsspc2190m000) Use this session to view and maintain group sets generated from group planning activity sets for service orders. Related topics Workload leveling (scheduling) Handling Slack Workload leveling and modification in the plan. Start Date Groups The start date of the group set. LN displays the group sets with a start date later than the specified date. Finish Date Groups The finish date of the group set. LN displays the group set with a finish date earlier than the specified date. Group Set The unique ID of the group set. Activity Origin The origin of the activities in the group sets for service order. By default, the value is set to Service Order. Allowed values Activity Origin Target Number of Groups The number of groups you create for the group set. Note The value in this field is defaulted from the Attribute Group - Preferred Resources (tsspc0120m100) session. Existing Number of Groups The number of groups available for the group set. Workload Leveling Method The method to level the workload for group planning. Allowed values Workload Leveling Method Initialize Center of Gravity If this check box is selected, the center of gravity must be re-calculated during each iteration. Number of Iterations The number of iterations to be performed by the territory planning engine for the service orders. A maximum of 10 iterations can be performed. The default value is five. Note This field is enabled only if the Workload Leveling Method is set to Geographically. Lower Limit Standard Deviation of Work Load The lower limit you set as the standard deviation. The planning engines perform the workload leveling geographically to reset the total of activity duration and travel duration across groups until the standard deviation is reached. Unit The measurement unit for Lower Limit Standard Deviation of Work Load. The deviation is expressed in the Time Duration Unit set in the General Service Parameters (tsmdm0100m000) session. Maximum Indicative Length of Route The maximum indicative length of the route calculated by the planning engineer when workload leveling is performed. The maximum value can be set up individually for each group of attribute values. This calculation helps avoid long routes. Unit The measurement unit for Maximum Indicative Length of Route. The length of route is expressed in the Distance Unit set in the General Service Parameters (tsmdm0100m000) session. Sort Method The method to sort the service order activities in a group set. Note This value is defaulted from the Service Planning Parameters (tsspc0100m000) session. Allowed values Sort Method Plan Method The method to plan the service order activities in a group set. Note This field is enabled only if the Activity Origin is set to Service Order or Planned Activity. Allowed values Plan Method Respect Earliest Start Time If this check box is selected, LN considers the earliest start time to plan the service order activity. Note The value in this field is defaulted from the Respect Earliest Start Time field defined in the Service Planning Parameters (tsspc0100m000) session. Respect Material Availability Date If this check box is selected, LN considers the Material Availability Date specified for the service orders in the Service Planning Parameters (tsspc0100m000) session, to schedule the service order activities in a Group Set. Note This field is visible only if the Check Material Availability check box in the Service Order Parameters (tssoc0100m000) session or the Check Material Availability check box in the Work Order Parameters (tswcs0100m000) session is selected. This field is applicable if the Workload Leveling Method is set to Scheduling. This check box is selected if the Respect Material Availability Date check box for the service/work order is selected in the Service Planning Parameters (tsspc0100m000) session and: The Activity Origin is set to Service Order/ Work Order. The Workload Leveling Method is set to Scheduling. This check box is not selected if the Activity Origin is set to Planned Activity or the Workload Leveling Method is set to Geographically. Related topics Introduction to Material Availability Check Material Availability Material Issue Constraints Material Availability in Group Planning Planned Start Time The planned start date and time of the first activity in the specified group set. Note The value in this field is defaulted from the groups (defined in Groups for Service Orders (tsspc3100m000) session) linked to the group set. Planned Finish Time The planned finish date and time of the last activity in the specified group set. Note The value in this field is defaulted from the groups (defined in Groups for Service Orders (tsspc3100m000) session) linked to the group set. Total Activity Duration The cumulative duration of travel for all the activities in the group set. Note The value in this field is defaulted from the groups (defined in Groups for Service Orders (tsspc3100m000) session) linked to the group set. Total Travel Duration The cumulative duration of travel for all the group in the set. Note The value in this field is defaulted from the groups (defined in Groups for Service Orders (tsspc3100m000) session) linked to the group set. Total Travel Distance The cumulative distance of travel for all the activities group in the group set. Note The value in this field is defaulted from the groups (defined in Groups for Service Orders (tsspc3100m000) session) linked to the group set. |
