Selection Profile 
You use the selection profile to specify how to select, filter and group data in capacity leveling:
- Object set : An object set contains criteria and their default values or fixed values, which are used to select the relevant objects for capacity leveling.
- Filter set : A filter set contains criteria and their default values or fixed values, which are used to filter the requirements for the objects selected.
You use the object set and the filter set to define the selection screens that appear when you call up capacity leveling from the capacity planning menu.
- Reqmts grouping : By specifying the requirements grouping you determine the criteria used to group together the requirements in whichever planning table you are using. You must not change the requirements groupings provided in the SAP standard package because settings are critical for generating an accurate display on the planning tables.
Selection of Capacity Requirements
In the selection profile you define the view of capacity requirements (see also "View of capacity requirements" in
Scheduling and calculating capacity requirements). You can specify which requirements the system should read for which scheduling level (detailed, rate-based or rough-cut) and for which order categories. You can then edit these capacity requirements.
Selecting Capacities
When accessing the planning tables using a hierarchy work center, you can display the work centers that lie below it in the hierarchy. You can then dispatch operations to these work centers. If you want to display the subordinate work centers in the hierarchy, you should set the indicator Explode hierarchy.
If you have set the indicator Explode hierarchy you must enter the name of the hierarchy to be exploded in the evaluation profile.
If you want to specify that planning is to take place at the level of individual capacities that are allocated to a selected capacity, then you should set the indicator Planning for indiv. caps.
In the selection profile, you can enter the version of available capacity of a work center that is to be displayed on the planning table. It does not have to be the active version in the work center, that is important, for example, for cumulating available capacity. If you have not maintained a version of available capacity in the strategy profile, the system uses the version of available capacity in the work center. If no version of available capacity is maintained in either the selection profile or in the work center, the system automatically selects the standard available capacity in the work center.
