Executing the Capacity Check 
When creating or changing a planned order you can check the available capacity. The planned order must already have been scheduled. For every operation the system checks whether there is sufficient capacity at the appropriate date for the requirements of the operation at the work center where the operation is to be processed. The capacity requirements of other orders or operations at this work center are taken into account here.
You call up the capacity check in planned order processing for an individual planned order. Starting from the planned order header select the menu options Edit → Capacity check. The system checks for the planned order selected whether there is an overload situation. If this is not the case then the check is terminated. You get the message: "Capacity checked. No overload found".
If there is an overload situation, then the system displays a dialog box in which the overloaded capacities are displayed per period. From there the system branches to capacity leveling in change or display mode so rescheduling can be carried out there if necessary. In display mode the system branches to the capacity situation in the case of an overload situation.
