Shift Plan in Color Design 

Definition

In the entry screen, you can select either of the following formats to display the shift plan (including Requirements Matchup).

The shift plans are fundamentally identical, which ensures that all of the functions available in SAP Shift Planning are available in either plan.

However, a shift plan in color design has a range of additional functions. These are:

For more information, refer to the documentation provided on Shift Abbreviations, Requirements Types and General Color and Character Formatting.

Use

Shift Abbreviation Bar

The shift abbreviation bar allows you to display all shift abbreviations belonging to a shift group in the shift plan. Furthermore, the Mark & Replace function allows you to create and edit shifts. To do this, first of all mark the shift abbreviation to be changed or created in the shift plan, and then select the desired shift abbreviation from the shift abbreviation bar by clicking on it. The selected shift abbreviation will be inserted directly into the corresponding field.
If the field is not ‘ready for input’, or if any resulting changes would make no sense from a business point of view, such as if a Flextime shift was replaced by an Availability, the relevant abbreviations are not affected by this function.

Requirements Matchup in One or Two Lines

You can display Requirements Matchup in either one or two separate lines. If you display Requirements Matchup in one single line, information on both the target and actual number of employees (number already assigned to this requirements record) is displayed in a field in one line. If you display Requirements Matchup in two lines, however, this data is displayed in two separate lines.

Splitter

A splitter allows you to define individual sizes for shift plans and Requirements Matchup. The system saves your settings, which are then available to you the next time you access the shift plan.
