Evaluation Profile 

An evaluation profile contains settings that are important for evaluating data. This includes the capacity unit used by the system to display available capacities and capacity requirements. You can also use the indicator Unit of measure frm capacity to specify that the available capacities and capacity requirements on the planning tables are to be displayed in the unit of measure maintained in the capacity.

You can use the indicator Cumul. indiv. cap. to specify that the system is to calculate the available capacity by cumulating the available capacities of the individual capacities that belong to the capacity category.

In addition, you can use the indicator Hierarchy cumulation to specify that the capacity requirements are to be calculated by cumulating them using a work center hierarchy. When you set the indicator Dyn. capacity cumul., the system cumulates available capacity dynamically using a hierarchy. For this purpose you should enter the name of the hierarchy.

The settings in the section Distribution are used everywhere in capacity leveling where period splits are used. You can maintain the following data:

  • The indicator From work center/operation specifies which distribution key is used. If this is set, the distribution keys you maintained in the work center are used to distribute the capacity requirements.

For networks and maintenance orders, the distribution key from the operation is used if you set the indicator. If you have not maintained a distribution key in networks and maintenance orders, then the system uses the distribution key for internal processing in the work center.

If the indicator is not set, the system uses a distribution key maintained in this profile.

  • Distribution of capacity requirements
  • Distribution of the capacity requirements for internally processed operations or activities, for example in maintenance orders and networks
