You can also enter confirmations for individual capacities. An individual capacity is a subdivision of an operation’s capacity requirements (for example, between various machines or employees). Each individual capacity that you create for an operation receives a split number.
You have two ways of confirming individual capacities:
Manual Confirmation of an Individual Capacity
With relation to capacity category and split number, you can confirm quantities as well as activities for an individual capacity.
Summary Confirmation of all Individual Capacities
Using a Summary Confirmation , you can confirm a degree of processing for all individual capacities. All the quantities and activities are confirmed proportionally by entering a degree of processing.
Updating actual values
You use the
NoActValue
indicator (Customizing for
Shop Floor Control
, by choosing
) to control whether the capacity requirement of an operation is also reduced when you confirm splits, dependent on the capacity category. If the indicator is set, the system only reduces the capacity requirements of the splits. If it is not set, the system reduces both the capacity requirements of the splits and of the operation.
If the
NoActValue
indicator is not set, the actual values of the splits as well as those of the operation are updated when the splits are confirmed. If you are working with
standard value splits,
make sure
You confirm for only one split or
None of the splits is confirmed, but you enter an extra confirmation for the quantities in the operation.
When the quantities are confirmed both in the individual splits and the operation, the confirmed quantities are added together. This has the following effects:
Due to the increased quantity confirmation, the system reduces too much capacity requirement
In the case of backflushing, too many components are issued
In the case of automatic goods receipt, the system posts too much material to stock
Actual costs are only calculated, if the indicator
No actual values
is not set. In this case only, the actual values of the split are passed on to the operation. When you confirm splits for a capacity category, and the confirmed values of the individual capacity are passed on to the operation, you make sure that you also confirm any activities performed by a capacity category that does not pass its actual values on to the operation.
Example
You have an operation that is processed using two capacities: One capacity with the capacity category
Machine,
with two splits, and one with the category
Person
, also with two splits. You have set the
NoActValue
indicator for the capacity category
Machine
, so that the actual values are not confirmed twice. Only when the splits for the capacity category
Person
are confirmed, are actual values confirmed and as a result the actual costs are calculated. Activities that only arise for the capacity category
Machine
(for example, machine time) should then also be entered when the capacity category
Person
is confirmed.
