Rules for Maintaining Formulas 

Formulas and formula parameters are maintained in Customizing - Work center:

You must define formula parameters that you want to use before you create formulas, if you do not want to use formula parameters that have been defined by SAP.

Usage Indicator

You use an indicator to determine where the formula should be used, for example in scheduling and costing.

Splits in Formulas

If you want to take splits into account in a formula, you must explicitly enter the split in a formula parameter.

In scheduling to calculate the execution time, the lot size is divided by the number of partial lots. In capacity planning to calculate the capacity requirements, the set-up time is multiplied by the number of partial lots.
