  Display of Resource Time Stream

Use

If errors occur when defining the periods for grouping the component requirements, these may be due to errors in the maintenance of the line resource. You can use this report to check the data you have maintained for the line resource and that the liveCache uses when calculating.

Integration

Alongside the period profile that you assign to the components, the line resource that the SAP APO has generated for the line plays an important role in defining the periods for the requirements grouping. The system uses the line resource to determine the times (shift sequence, workdays, week program, break, and so on) that are used when working.

Prerequisites

  • You have maintained the factory calendar for a location.

  • You have created a line resource as well as a shift sequence and break pattern for this resource.

Features

The report reads the resource data from the liveCache and puts it in a list. This data is stored in the form of a time stream in the liveCache.

You can display the shift sequence, day program, week program, month or year.

Activities

  1. Choose Start of the navigation path Rapid Planning Matrix Next navigation step Tools Next navigation step Table of Periods Next navigation step Display Resources Time Stream End of the navigation path .

    The initial screen for the display appears.

  2. Enter the line resource, location, planning version, and date from which the time stream is to be generated. Select the period type, such as shift or month, for which the system is to generate the time stream.

  3. Choose .

    A list is displayed with the following data:

    Start time

    This start time is displayed in the format year month day time. The time is displayed in UTC format, because the liveCache only works with UTC.

    The start time shows the start of a period. For example, if you have entered shifts as the period, the system always displays the start of the shift as the start time.

    End time

    This time is also displayed in UTC format.

    The end time shows the end of the period selected. For example, if you have entered shifts as the period, the system displays the end of the shift.

    Date

    In the case of shifts, this date shows the day on which a shift falls.

    Shift number from product planning table

    In the case of multiple-shift operation, the shifts contained in one day are numbered consecutively, for example, early shift = 1, late shift = 2, and night shift = 3.

    Period indicator

    This shows for which period type the time stream has been generated, for example, S for shift and M for month.

    Period duration

    Rate of resource utilization

    Shows the rate of utilization, which the liveCache uses when calculating. You enter the resource utilization rate in the resource master on the Standard capacity tab page.
