 Defining Capacity Segments Locate this document in the navigation structure

Use

You can use this function if you work with lead time scheduling and capacity planning in conjunction with the planning table. You can define line segments as capacity segments, whose capacity data you want to display in the planning table. In the planning table, capacity data is displayed in a separate row for each capacity segment.

Note Note

If you use the planning table in conjunction with the capacity planning table, you should define a maximum of one capacity segment, since the capacity planning table can otherwise give incorrect results.

End of the note.
