You can manually change the availability of a resource without referencing the order operation. To do so, you create a time allocation. This may be necessary if, for example, an employee is sick or a tool breaks down at short notice.

The basis availability (for example, working time and shifts) of a resource remains unaffected.

Prerequisites

You have defined the possible time allocations for each resource type in Customizing under   MRS Basis   Define Time Allocation Types  .

Features

When you allocate times for a personnel resource, you can choose between the following alternatives, for example:

  • Vacation

  • Illness

  • Overtime Hours

When you allocate times for a tool, you can choose between the following alternatives, for example:

  • Preventive maintenance

  • Repair

Planning Periodic Time Allocations

You can create time allocations that are repeated at regular intervals for one or more resources using report /MRSS/WFM_MASTERDATA_ADMIN_HR. For each time allocation, enter:

  • A time allocation type

  • A maintenance period with start date

  • A repetition interval

You can also specify:

  • A description of the time allocation type

  • An on-call type and its description. The system suggests the text from Customizing for on-call types here.

You can plan periodic time allocations on a daily or weekly basis. If you choose Weekly, you can specify a different time interval for each weekday. When you execute the report, the system creates the time allocations in the given template for all resources specified.

Activities

You create a time allocation by choosing   Edit   Create Time Allocation  .
