Determining the Capacity Load

When determining the capacity load of a work center (basic load) in the context of the capacity availability check, the requirements of the operations with a particular status are taken into account. You specify which status is to be taken into account in Customizing for Capacity leveling in the selection profile via the requirements grouping. If you have not made any setting of your own, only released operations are taken into account.
