Critical Capacity Requirements (cprmp3560m000)

Use this session to list the plan items for which a particular work center forms a critical capacity requirement.

On the View menu, you can select three different view modes to display critical capacity data:

  • Scenario, Work Center, Req. Period, Plan Item, Org. Period: LN displays the plan item for which the capacity of the specified work center is required in the period specified in the Period Required field.
  • Scenario, Plan Item, Org. Period, Work Center, Req. Period: LN gives an overview of all the work center capacities required for a certain plan item with the periods in which they are required.
  • Scenario, Plan Item, Req. Period, Work Center, Req. Period: LN gives an overview of all critical capacities required for the specified plan item in a certain plan period.

The origins of critical capacity requirements are listed for a specific combination of the following:

  • Scenario
  • Work Center
  • Plan period, that is, the plan period in which the capacity is required, or the plan period in which the requirement for a specific plan item falls

You can use the commands on the appropriate menu to further analyze the critical capacity requirements that LN displays in this session.

Note: If you started this session by zooming, you can only find and select a record.
