Procedure documentationCreating Capacity Variants

 

You can use this procedure to combine capacity-relevant data such as different shifts and breaks in a capacity variant.

Prerequisites

  • You have created definitions (see Creating Definitions).

  • You have specified capacity variants in Customizing for SAP Transportation Management (SAP TM) under Start of the navigation path Transportation Management Next navigation step Master Data Next navigation step Resources Next navigation step Specify Capacity Variants End of the navigation path.

Procedure

  1. On the SAP Easy Access screen or in SAP NetWeaver Business Client, open the resource for which you have created definitions.

  2. On the Change Resources: Header Data screen, choose the Capacity Variants pushbutton. To create a new variant, choose Interval.

  3. Enter a capacity variant and a validity period. Assign the shift sequence to the capacity variant. Select the first day so that the first day of the time interval is the first day of the shift sequence.

    Example Example

    You have defined a four-day shift sequence. If you enter2 as the first day, the first day of the time interval has the shifts from the second day of the shift sequence.

    End of the example.

    The following ways exist for defining workdays:

    • Workdays according to the factory calendar

    • No workdays (overwrites the factory calendar)

    • Workdays (overwrites the factory calendar)

  4. Save the interval and go back to the resource master data.

  5. On the General Data tab page, assign the capacity variant to the resource by specifying its name in the Act Var. (Active Variant) field.
