Displaying Available Capacity 

Prerequisites

You can display available capacities as lists (available capacity profile) and as graphics.

In available capacity profiles up to three available capacity versions or capacity categories can be displayed, resolved down to a day.

You can display the available capacities in this list graphically, if the capacities all have the same unit of measure. You determine how the graphic is presented by entering the period type and period duration or the period pattern key:

·        Period type

The period type determines the shortest period of time for the presentation. You can choose between calendar days, working days, weeks, months and years. If you choose working days and you have entered a factory calendar, the working days in the factory calendar are used.

·        Period duration

The period duration determines how many units of the chosen period type are shown together in the graphic. For instance, if you enter period duration 4 and period type calendar days, the available capacity for four calendar days is displayed together.
