Invoking the Capacity Profile 

Use

The capacity profile is a list containing the manually adjusted capacity data of the standard available capacity or a capacity variant of the resource.

Features

The capacity profile provides you with an overview of the available capacity of a resource per day from the current date to the end of the validity period for the following capacities:

·        Standard available capacity

·        Capacity variants

·        External capacity

Depending on the resource type, the overview shows the available time-continuous capacity (time capacity) or bucket-oriented capacity (quantity capacity).

Depending on the validity period defined for the resource and the number of shifts, the overview may contain a large number of entries.

You can manually change the available capacity for selected resources if, for example, the working time or the rate of resource utilization vary for individual days, without having to define a new shift or a new interval in the capacity variant. The system saves these changes to the database in a capacity profile for the standard available capacity, the selected capacity variant or for the external capacity.

If you change the basic available capacity by changing the shift, for example, the system adjusts all unchanged data in the capacity profile. All variances entered manually are retained.

As soon as a capacity profile for the standard capacity, the capacity variant, or the external capacity exists in the database, the system takes the variances defined there into consideration - instead of the corresponding capacity - when determining the valid capacity.

Activity

...

       1.      If you want to change the available capacity of a shift, choose Change Shift in the capacity profile.

A dialog box appears, in which you can specify the period and shift for which you want to change the available capacity.

You can also mark the period on the calendar. The system then automatically marks the corresponding shifts in the overview. The marked period is also shown in the dialog box.

       2.      Enter the changed capacity in the Available Capacity area and confirm your input.

       3.      To save your changes, choose Back  and then save on the Change Resources screen.
