Capacity 

Use

This tab contains a list of capacities, each valid for a certain period of time. The tab is visible only for resources with the capacity types:

·        Equally Distributed

·        Overall Distributed

 

Prerequisites

You have defined planned and booked capacity thresholds beyond which assignment checks should trigger a warning message by choosing SAP IMG ® Customer Relationship Management ® Workforce Deployment ® Basic Settings for WFD Server ® Resource Settings ® Define Capacity Limit Profile.

You have provided a method to retrieve a resource's capacity limit profiles by choosing SAP IMG ® Customer Relationship Management ® Workforce Deployment ® Basic Settings for WFD Server ® Resource Settings ® Business Add-Ins (BAdIs) ® Business Add-In: WFD Resource Profile.

The default field in the activity Define Capacity Limit Profile marks the capacity limit profile entry that is supplied for the default implementation of the Business Add-In: WFD Resource Profile

 

Features

The fields on the tab include:

·        Valid from and to dates

·        Capacity

·        Unit of capacity

The system calculates capacity based on a resource’s work time /availability.

Capacity entered per contract validity period:

·        Is evenly (equally) distributed during the validity of the record and the availability time frame.

·        Represents the overall (absolute) capacity in the validity period and availability timeframes defined. This capacity (available, remaining) is based on the consumption (and NOT evenly distributed), thus, assignments, both concrete and capacitive, are possible as long as capacity is available.
