| | Resource (cprpd2100m000)Use this session to list the resources, which you can
maintain and display in the details session. To load work centers
from the execution level as resources
in Enterprise Planning,
click Load Work Center Data on the appropriate menu. If you delete a work
center, all planning data linked to that work center (rough capacity
requirements and so on) are also deleted. Note Only resources
specified in this session are considered in the planning methods of Enterprise Planning. If you started this
session by zooming, you can only find and select a record. Resource A group of machines or employees in Enterprise Planning,
corresponding to a work center in other LN packages. Each operation performed to manufacture an item requires a
certain capacity amount from a resource (for example, production hours). The
capacity of the resource can be a constraint in the planning. The availability of a resource can be specified by using the
resource calendar. You do not need to
define a resource for each physical work center. Define only the resources that
are important in planning or cost accounting. Workload Tolerance The percentage by which the resource's workload is allowed to
deviate from the workload norm. Basic Number of Operators The required number of operators (people) for the resource. If you selected the Critical inPlanning check box in the Work Centers (tirou0101m000) session, and the Critical Capacity for Planning field in the Work Centers (tirou0101m000) session is Man Capacity, LN bases the capacity planning on the Basic Number of Operators field. Default value The default value is the value of the Number of Operators field in the Work Centers (tirou0101m000) session. Basic Number of Machines The number of machines required for the resource. If you selected the Critical inPlanning check box in the Work Centers (tirou0101m000) session, and the Critical Capacity for Planning field in the Work Centers (tirou0101m000) session is Machine Capacity, LN bases the capacity planning on the Basic Number of Machines field. Default value The default value is the value of the Number of Machines field in the Work Centers (tirou0101m000) session. Calendar Code The calendar of the resource. Resource Planning Horizon The time period for which LN performs resource
planning. You can see the results of this planning in the resource
master plan. Critical in CTP A plan item that is critical in CTP must be checked during a
component CTP check for a higher level item in the bill of critical materials.
A resource that is critical in CTP must be checked during a capacity CTP check
for a plan item, if this resource is included in the plan item's bill of
critical capacities. If this check box is selected, LN takes into account the specified resource if
it performs a capacity CTP check for an item that uses capacity of the
resource. Performance aspects The setting of this field could affect system performance and database growth. For more information, refer to Maintain resource master plan. Maintain Resource Master Plan If this check box is selected, LN generates a resource master plan when
you initialize the scenario. Note After selecting this
check box, use the Initialize, Roll, and Update Scenario (cprpd4200m000) session to initialize the resource master
plan. Performance aspects The setting of this field could affect system performance and database growth. For more information, refer to Maintain resource master plan. Operations Storage Horizon The number of future working days for which LN stores the operations
for planned orders. For planned orders beyond the operation storage horizon, you
cannot analyze the capacity use of planned orders and you cannot transfer the
planned orders to the execution level. Set the operation storage horizon to the maximum possible
value (9999 days), unless the number of stored operations causes performance
problems. These problems can occur sometimes, if you plan orders by using Infor SCM Planner. If you do not use Infor SCM Planner, you can avoid these problems by setting a reasonable fixed lead-time horizon. Note The operation
storage horizon must at least be as long as the longest time fence among the plan
items that are produced at the involved resource. Performance aspects The setting of this field could affect system performance and database growth. For more information, refer to Operation storage horizon. | |
