Purpose

You can select your data for capacity evaluations according to different criteria and thus flexibly adjust the analyses to your needs.

Process flow

The selection process comprises the following steps:

  1. Database selection

  2. In the selection profile you can use the read period, the planning level and the order category to define which capacity requirements are read from the database when calling up the capacity evaluation. Only these capacity requirements are taken into account in the capacity evaluation. You can also define the relevant version of available capacity in the selection profile.

    You can carry out a new database selection at any time during the capacity evaluation by selecting another selection profile or overall profile with other selection parameters and thus start a new evaluation.

  3. Specification of selection options on the selection screens

  4. During the capacity evaluation you select your data on the selection screens . In the selection profile, you specify the following for the selection screens integrated in the menu:

    Which selection criteria are grouped on the selection screens

    What the possible entries are for the selection criteria

    You can define fixed values for the selection criteria. When calling up the capacity evaluation the relevant data is selected automatically. Fixed values are not displayed on the selection screen but only in the selection list .

  5. Selection during the capacity evaluation

As described under point 2, you select your data during the capacity evaluation on selection screens. When you call up the capacity evaluation you automatically reach an initial selection screen (screen Selection). You can at any timeeven on the initial selection screen Selection call up a selection screen on which other selection criteria are combined. The following is valid for the combination of selection criteria that you maintain whether on the same screen or on other screens:

  • Entries for the same selection criterion are combined.

They are linked with a logical "or".

  • Entries for the various selection criteria restrict the selection.

They are linked with a logical "and".

The current values of the selection criteria are combined in the selection list .

On the selection screen for selecting by work center additional functions are available. You can use them to select individual work centers for the current selection or from a hierarchy.
