## Short answer

The Production Scheduling Board from delaware Consulting is a visual graphical and tabular scheduling board on SAP BTP, aimed at planners who handle rush orders and resequencing. It is an SAP BTP extension listed on SAP Store and works with S/4HANA production orders.

## Product

Production Scheduling Board

## Vendor

## Category

APS / visual scheduling

## Integration

**Method:** SAP BTP extension

**Detail:** The board runs on SAP BTP and talks to S/4HANA for orders and operations. The listing gives no detail on interfaces; confirm with delaware whether it uses OData APIs and how write-back of new sequences works.

## Data Flows

**From:** S/4HANA

**To:** Scheduling board

**Data:** Production orders, operations, work centers

**Trigger:** Board load or refresh

**From:** Scheduling board

**To:** S/4HANA

**Data:** Resequenced dates and operation changes

**Trigger:** Planner confirms

**From:** S/4HANA

**To:** Scheduling board

**Data:** Order status and confirmations from the shop floor

**Trigger:** Confirmation posted

## Setup

### Confirm BTP prerequisites

**Detail:** Check subaccount, entitlements and connectivity from BTP to your S/4HANA system; an on-prem system usually needs Cloud Connector.

### Set up users and roles

**Detail:** Assign planners roles in BTP and matching authorizations in S/4HANA.

### Define work center scope

**Detail:** Pick the plants and work centers shown on the board.

### Align scheduling rules

**Detail:** Match board behavior to routing, capacity and scheduling parameters in S/4HANA.

### Test rush order handling

**Detail:** Insert an urgent order and check downstream order dates in SAP.

### Train planners

**Detail:** Agree when to resequence on the board versus rescheduling in SAP.

## Pitfalls

- Board changes that ignore material availability create orders you cannot start.
- Differences between board scheduling logic and SAP scheduling cause date drift.
- Cloud Connector or firewall problems make the board slow or unavailable.
- Too many planners resequencing the same work center without a locking rule.
- Master data gaps (missing capacity, wrong routing times) show as unrealistic schedules.

## Ai Layer

### Rush order impact analysis

**Description:** A private assistant reads orders, capacity and material status to describe what a rush order would delay and proposes sequences for a planner to approve.

### Late order explanation

**Description:** Explain why an order is late using confirmations, shortages and breakdown notes.

### Schedule question answering

**Description:** Ask which orders on a work center are at risk this week, with the data source shown.

## Alternatives

- SAP's standard planning boards and Fiori apps may be enough for modest sequencing needs.
- SAP Digital Manufacturing or SAP IBP are options for broader planning scope.
- A dedicated APS from a specialist vendor fits complex finite-capacity needs.

## Faq

### Is it finite capacity scheduling?

**Answer:** The listing describes a visual board for rush orders and resequencing, not a full APS. Ask delaware how it treats capacity limits before treating it as finite scheduling.

### Does it need SAP BTP?

**Answer:** Yes, it runs as a BTP extension, so you need a BTP subaccount and a secure connection to S/4HANA.

### Does it suit air-gapped plants?

**Answer:** A BTP-based tool needs cloud connectivity, so it is a poor fit for fully air-gapped sites. Check with delaware for other options.
