Set

Definition

Grouping of selection criteria. Based on these selection criteria you can choose your data in the capacity evaluation and capacity leveling, for example work centers by work center name and plant.

There are the following types of set:

  • A basic set contains only one selection criterion; for example, the work center name.

  • A multidimension set contains one or more selection criteria, for example the work center name and type of work center, and consists of several basic sets.

Use

Sets are used to define:

  • The columns in the variable overview (basic sets and multidimension sets)

  • The selection criteria on the selection screens in the capacity evaluation (multidimension sets)

  • The selection criteria on the selection screen (initial screen) and the filter screen of capacity leveling (basic sets and multidimension sets)

Structure

Basic set

To define the selection criterion you link the basic set to the appropriate table field. You can specify fixed values and variables for the selection criterion.

The purpose of variables is so that during capacity planning you can enter individual values or intervals for the selection criterion on the selection or filter screens. Variables are also used to specify default criteria for the selection criterion on the selection screen (for example, with the SET/GET parameter) which you can overwrite.

Multidimension set

Multidimension sets comprise basic sets.

Caution Caution

A multidimension set consisting of a basic set that refers to the selection criterion "operation status" is not permitted (and also does not make sense).

End of the caution.

You can define variables, basic sets, multidimension sets and combinations in Customizing for the Capacity evaluation and Capacity leveling .
