Requirements Types
Use
Requirements types are used to describe a certain part of the day, for which a specific requirement can be defined. By assigning a requirements type to a shift group, you can control the maintenance of requirements, and so identify the days on which personnel requirements exist.
Examples:
Requirements types are defined in the IMG for Shift Planning, and are used as the basis for defining requirements and requirements types.
All requirements records that belong to a requirements type are only valid for the part of the day that corresponds to this requirements type. In this way, you can always portray recurring requirements that are different, but occur in the same order.
Requirements type SPECIFIC has a specific function. It enables you to prioritize each available personnel requirement on individual days. For example, if you want to define a specific personnel requirement for a certain day, you must assign requirements type SPECIFIC to the shift group. This requirements type thus allows you to easily create a personnel requirement that differs from all other requirements.

Working with Requirements.Example
Your enterprise requires five (5) employees from Monday through Thursday. On Fridays, however, you require seven (7) employees. On Friday 18 February, your ‘open day’ is scheduled. You require ten (10) employees on this day.
Assign the following requirements types to the shift group:
Define the requirement on weekdays with five (5) employees.
Define the requirement on Fridays with seven (7) employees. This requirement takes precedence over the usual requirement on Fridays.
Define the requirement SPECIFIC with ten (10) employees on February 18. On this day, only this requirement is valid, irrespective of the number of other requirements types that relate to this day (Friday).
Requirements type SPECIFIC has the highest priority. You can use it to portray blank requirements records, or requirements for which no employees are required.
