Use this component to compare the capacity requirements of a project with the available capacity of the work centers assigned to the project. As a result, you can schedule the capacity requirements optimally.

You can perform capacity leveling:

• In a tabular planning board, in which the available capacity and capacity requirements are presented in a period split
• In a graphic planning board that allows continuous capacity planning.

The project manager can view capacity leveling in the Project view and see a particular WBS hierarchy.

In the Project System the project manager can call up capacity leveling:

• In the project planning board
• In scheduling and structure planning. He or she can also call up the standard overview of capacity planning in both of these transactions

The planner who is responsible for a network can call up the Order view of capacity leveling from the capacity planning menu. The system only takes into account activities from specific networks.

The planner can also check the availability of capacities in a network.

The person responsible for a work center can call up the Work center view of capacity leveling from the capacity planning menu.

You can call up other views specific to your company from the variable overview. You edit and update variable overviews in Customizing.

To use views that you have entered in Customizing instead of those in the standard system, you can change the view selection in the user parameters.
