Define Shift Sequence

In this step you define the following:

Using the grouping you can create shift sequences and shift definitions for special areas (for example, different plants or different areas of a plant) and when maintaining the available capacity choose from between work centers.
Here you define parameters that describe the individual work break schedules in more detail, as for example:
Here you define the parameters common to several work centers that describe the individual shifts in more detail, for example:
In Logistics (LO) you can reference daily work schedules from the personnel system (HR). If you reference a daily work schedule in LO from HR and this is changed in HR then this change has a direct effect on changes in LO.
You can assign the shift sequence of a capacity category as the available capacity at the work center.
You define a sequence of shifts per weekday. The shift sequence represents a collection of shift definitions.
In capacity planning the system uses the predefined values from the shift definition to determine the available capacity of a work center.
The system calculates the following values:
