Creating Employee Requirements Records Automatically Using the System 

Use

This function enables you to save time in planning situations of this type that frequently recur: You do not have to enter the distribution of work manually for each operation; the system processes it for you. It creates requirements records (= splits) for the required employees. In this way, the system distributes the work equally between the specified people.

This function is only available in the order.

This function is executed automatically by the system if you create:

The function is not executed again if existing operations are changed (for example, after you have deleted all the requirements assignment records for an operation).

 

Prerequisites

The following must be configured in the Customizing for the order type:

Consequently, the system generates employee requirements records for partners automatically, which are specified in the order and have the partner function entered in Customizing. Partners with other partner functions are not considered.

An example situation could be as follows:

The system generates employee requirements records automatically for partners Smith and Jones.

Procedure

  1. Create an order.
  2. Enter the required partners.
  3. Create the required operations for the order.

    4. If you enter work centers for the operations, the people, for whom you generate employee requirements records, do not necessarily have to work at these work centers.

    You can already maintain employee requirements records manually for certain operations. These entries are not overwritten by the automatic function when saving.

  4. Save the order.

Result

The system now creates requirements records (= splits) for the required employees. In this way, the work is distributed equally between the specified people. The system schedules the splits.

Further processing of the splits is made using PP Capacity Planning logic.

The capacity requirements records for the operation are scheduled based on the working times, which have been entered in the work center specified.

The requirements records for the employees (splits) are scheduled based on the working times, which have been entered in the personnel master data in HR.

If you want to check the requirements records, you can call up the order again. You can find the requirements records generated on the requirements assignment screen for the respective operation.
