Define options profiles

In this step, you define the options profiles that determine some essential characteristics of the lists and graphics.

In the option profile, you can specify the following parameters:

Unit in which the evaluations are to be carried out (for example, hours, minutes)
Indicator used to specify that capacity requirements and available capacities are displayed on the planning tables in the unit of measure that you maintained in the relevant capacities.
Key with which you specify whether the scheduled requirements or remaining requirements are to be displayed.
In the standard overview , only the periods which are within these load limits are displayed.
You specify the time interval to be evaluated here.
You specify the first and last day to be displayed using a day counter which itself refers to the current day.
In addition, you must specify the period type in which the time interval is to be defined during the evaluation (for example "A" -> specification of the time interval in the form of calendar days).
Using the date for dispatching the backlog, you specify to which date backlogs are to be allocated. The capacity is taken into account as of this date. This date is also defined in the form of a day counter.
Key with which you specify the category of the period (for example, days, weeks or months).
If you have selected "MRP planning period" as the period type, then you must enter a planning calendar.
Note
You should note that the planning calendar is plant dependent.
The number of the periods specifies how many units of the period type the period should include.
If you entered "week" for the period type and "4" for the number, for instance, the duration of the period is 4 weeks.
Here, you define whether the distribution specified in the work center or operation is to be taken into account, or whether an alternative distribution is to be carried out.
You can specify an alternative distribution specially for networks or maintenance orders and for all other orders.
Here, you specify
Here you specify whether, on branching to the work center, the planned order and the production order, you get to display or change mode.
