Work Center resource exception messages

Resource exception messages are related to the planning of Work Centers. They warn you when there is a utilization or workload problem.

You can use the following sessions to analyze and resolve these exception messages:

  • Work Centers - Planning (cprpd2100m000)
  • Resource Master Plan (cprmp3501m000)

Overloaded Work Center

The work center is overutilized. This type of exception message is generated when the utilization for a plan period exceeds 100 % plus the tolerance percentage specified for this exception message type in the Exception Message Types by Planner (cprao1110m000) session.

Workload < Norm

The workload that is on the job shop is lower than the workload norm specified in the Work Centers - Planning (cprpd2100m000) session taking into account the workload tolerance specified in this same session.

In determining the workload, only the following fields in the Resource Master Plan (cprmp3501m000) session are considered:

  • Capacity Used for Production Orders
  • Capacity Used for PCS Activities
  • Capacity Used for Service Orders

Workload > Norm

  • Capacity Used for Production Orders

Work Center CTP < Zero

The CTP of the work center is lower than zero (0). This means that the load on the work center, including newly accepted customer orders, is too high. This type of exception message is only generated for work centers which are defined as critical in CTP in the Work Centers - Planning (cprpd2100m000) session.
