Project Resource Plan (tipcs0520s100)
Use this session to view the work centers that are involved in a specific PCS project, and to determine the impact of the PCS project on the capacity of the involved work centers.
A PCS project requires capacity for a specific stretch of time, often from multiple work centers. In this session, you can define a start date, and the number of periods that expresses the term of the PCS project. After that, for every work center, the following numbers are displayed:
-
Number of Periods Above Capacity Excluding Project
The number of periods that the requirements for the work center's capacity exceed the available capacity. The capacity that is required for the PCS project is not taken into account. -
Number of Periods Above Capacity Including Project
The number of periods that the requirements for the work center's capacity exceed the work center's available capacity. The capacity that is required for the PCS project is taken into account. -
First Period Above Capacity
The first period that the total capacity requirements for the work center exceed the work center's basic capacity. -
Number of Periods Involved for Project
The total number of periods that the PCS project requires capacity from the work center.
These numbers are indicators of the work centers' available capacity. On the basis of these numbers you can adjust your planning activities for the PCS project.
LN derives the list of work centers that are involved in the PCS project from the following information :
- The planned capacity use by order in Enterprise Planning.
- The production order planning and operations in Job Shop Control.
- The activities by PCS project in Project Control.

Field Information
- Project
- Start Date
-
A PCS project requires capacity for a specific stretch of time. In this field, you can define the start date of the stretch of time for which you want to view the impact of the PCS project on the work centers' capacity.
- Period Length
-
The number of days to which the capacity requirement applies.
- Number of Periods
-
The number of periods that the PCS project requires capacity of the work centers.
The value of this field multiplied by the number of days that you define in the Period Length field determines the term for which you want to view the PCS project's impact on the work center capacity.
- Work Center
-
The work center that is part of the PCS project, and for which a capacity requirement can exist.
- Basic Capacity
-
If the Period Length field is 1 day, this field displays the daily capacity of each resource unit in the work center. If the Period Length field is 7 days, the weekly capacity is displayed. If the Period Length is 14 days or 28 days, the weekly capacity is multiplied by respectively 2 or 4.
The work center's daily and weekly capacity are defined in the Work Centers (tirou0101m000) session.
- Number of Periods Above Capacity Excluding Project
-
The number of periods that the requirements for the work center's capacity exceed the available capacity. The capacity that is required for the PCS project is not taken into account.
- Number of Periods Above Capacity Including Project
-
The number of periods that the requirements for the work center's capacity exceed the work center's available capacity. The capacity that is required for the PCS project is taken into account.
The number of periods in this field is always equal or higher than the number of periods in the Number of Periods Above Capacity Excluding Project field.
- First Period Above Capacity
-
The first period that the total capacity requirements for the work center exceed the work center's basic capacity.
- Number of Periods Involved for Project
-
The total number of periods that the PCS project requires capacity from the work center.
