Use

In interactive planning and in the production planning run, you use heuristicsto
automatically execute planning tasks in Production Planning and Detailed Scheduling
(PP/DS). In PP/DS, a heuristic is a planning function that executes planning for
selected objects (products, resources, operations, or line networks, depending on
the planning focus). The heuristic does this using a particular heuristic-specific
procedure. SAP delivers standard heuristics that you use for different planning
tasks. For example, there are heuristics with which you can execute multilevel
planning according to low-level codes for selected products, or with which you can
schedule operations on selected resources in a specific sequence.
