Profile for Capacity Planning Table 

The profile for the planning table contains settings that determine how the planning table is set up and what it looks like. This includes the following:

  • The indicator Log you use to specify that the customizing-specific system messages that are displayed when generating the planning table are displayed in a log. You can call up the log from the capacity planning table.
  • The key Chart sequence which determines how many charts are displayed and in what sequence.
  • The Layout ID that determines how information is displayed in the table section.
    The layout is linked to the requirements grouping in the selection profile. For every group in the requirements grouping there has to be a layout key in the layout used.
  • The key LineRepreSelec that defines the line representation selection used to determine how a line is graphically displayed in the table section.
  • The key Time scale that defines the scale to be displayed in the diagram section. This definition contains the data for representing the pre-evaluation period, the planning period and the post-evaluation period.
  • The key Graphical object selection that defines the graphical object type selection used to determine what data for an application object (for example, operation) is to be graphically displayed in the diagram section depending on its status.

For an operation in the pool, the queue time, setup time, processing time, teardown time and wait time are displayed. However, for an operation that has been dispatched, only the setup time, processing time and teardown time are displayed.

  • The keys AxisReprSelec and CurvRepresSelec specify the graphical properties of the material stock curves in the chart that can be displayed on the capacity planning table.
  • The graphics profile that represents the overall basis for the graphical display. The graphics profile is defined using the following three entries:
    • Group: Profile group you use to define the application area for the graphics profile.
    • Name: Profile name that, together with the profile group and the profile index, identifies the graphics profile.
    • Index: Profile index that can be used to distinguish between modes such as change and display.

For every graphical profile that was defined using these three entries the following are defined in Customizing for capacity leveling under Technical settings:

    • Chart group: Chart group includes data concerning whether the chart contains a title bar, time scale, table heading, table section and diagram section and what background colors these sections have.
    • Graphical element group: It combines graphical element categories which determine what the graphical elements look like.
    • Color category: Color group combines color categories that specify the color and pattern or table lines, time strips and time fences as well as graphical objects in the diagram section.
    • Form group: It combines form types that define the formatting of texts (for example, in a table line).
    • Options profile: It contains default values for displaying the planning table (for example, height and width) as well as data concerning technical properties (for example, whether or not a double-click has a function).
