Features

You can make the following settings:

In the evaluation lists all capacity requirements are taken into account whose start or finish date is in the evaluation period. This evaluation period must lie within the database read period that is defined in the selection profile .

For the period split, you can define fixed period durations orusing the PP planning calendar you can define flexible period durations.

You can display target capacity requirements or remaining capacity requirements. The target capacity requirements are the total capacity requirements of an operation. The remaining capacity requirements are the capacity requirements for a partially confirmed operation that still have to be processed. This is equal to the target capacity requirements, if there is still no confirmation for the operation. If you want to process confirmations from within the detailed capacity list and want to see the current capacity requirements then you should choose the requirements type Remaining requirements.

Capacity requirements from the past that have not been processed are loaded in the period containing this date. Dispatching of backlog only occurs if you display the requirement type remaining requirements.

You can use the capacity load to control which work centers are displayed in the standard overview and in the detailed capacity list.

With this display the available capacity and capacity requirements for each period contain the available capacity and capacity requirements of all the preceding periods.

Distribution is relevant for operations that extend over several periods.

You use cumulation when you want to analyze the capacity load of production areas.
