Rough Capacity Utilization by Project (tipcs4550m000)

Use this session to display the required capacity in man hours or machine hours for the execution of an activity in the relevant week.

 

Project
A collection of manufacturing and purchasing actions that are performed especially for a particular customer order. A project is initiated by a customer order for items having a To Order order policy. The purpose of a project is to plan and coordinate the production of these items.

For a standard-to-order production, the project is only used to link the item with the customer order. Otherwise, a project can include:

  • Customized item data (BOMs and routings)
  • Project planning (activity planning)

A budget is a special type of project. A budget is used to plan and estimate, not to carry out production.

Project Status
Indicates the current progress of the project.
