Define scale for the time axis

In this step you define

• the scale for the various segments on the time axis (see next section)

• whether when the capacity planning table is called up the non-work times that are common to all capacities are hidden.
  

Segments of the time scale:

In the capacity planning table you see a segment of the (infinite) time scale. This segment is defined by the evaluation period in the time profile. You define the time scale of the time axis for the following segments:

• Pre-evaluation period

This represents the period between the start of the evaluations until the start of planning.

• Planning period

This represents the period between the start and the end of planning.

• Post-evaluation period

This represents the period between end of planning and end of evaluation.

A scale is defined as the length per unit of time e.g. 40 mm per day.

Note

The pre/post-evaluation period are not visible if the start of the evaluation period (or end of the planning period) and end of the evaluation period coincide.

Standard Settings

In the standard SAP package there are predefined scales (e.g. daily period split, weekly period split).

Recommendation

You should leave the standard settings unchanged.

Activities

If necessary you should maintain your own scales and enter them in your profile for the planning table.
