Defining How Operations Belong Together 

Prerequisites

In the capacity planning table you can select or highlight operations that belong together.

The system defines how operations belong together using the chosen selection fields in the Selection key. You create the Selection key like a Sort key in Customizing for capacity leveling under Define sort keys.

You have two ways of defining the Selection key and the selection fields in the Selection key that control the selection of operations belonging together on the capacity planning table.

  • You can select a Selection key online on the capacity planning table and select the desired selection fields.
  • You can enter a Selection key in the selection profile in Customizing for capacity leveling. The system uses this Selection key so long as you do not select another. In the SAP Standard the first field of this Selection key is automatically the selection field. But you can also define other selection fields.

Procedure

  1. Choose the following on the capacity planning table Edit → Select → Selection or Edit → Highlight → Selection.
  2. You reach the dialog box Selection of criteria for marking orders.
  3. Choose a Selection key.

If the selection fields are not yet displayed choose Enter.

  1. Select the desired selection fields.

If you enter values for the selected fields then the appropriate operations are selected automatically if you return to the capacity planning table.

  1. Choose Enter.
