Splitting and Allocating

Any number of people from personnel planning and development (PD) or individual capacities within work center maintenance or pooled capacities can be allocated to each capacity (depending on the capacity category).

You maintain the available capacity of people in personnel planning and development (PD), and you maintain the available capacity of the individual capacities in the work center or in the pooled capacity. If you have not maintained an available capacity in an individual capacity, then its available capacity is calculated from the operating time of the capacity.

You can derive the available capacity of the capacity for leveling purposes by dynamically cumulating the available capacity of individual capacities. To do this, you must set the indicator Cumul. indiv. cap. in the evaluation profile in Customizing.

You can assign the split capacity requirements to individual capacities or people. You cannot allocate a capacity requirement that has not been split to an individual capacity or to a person. If a capacity requirement that is to be dispatched not yet split then the system generates an individual split and allocates it to the individual capacity or to the person.

Dispatching splits (partial capacity requirements) takes place either manually on planning tables or else by setting the indicator Split dispatched for a split on the planning tables/in the order (see, for example,

Split capacity requirements). Finite scheduling does not take place.

Splits that were not allocated to individual capacities or people cannot be dispatched.

Capacity requirements can be split, which means they can be divided up according to quantity, work or duration and they can be allocated to individual capacities or people. There are special screens and dialog boxes available both in order maintenance and in the planning tables for this purpose. You define a split by entering the following data:

Internally processed operations:

Latest start date
Duration
Work

Operations that are divided into operation segments:

Latest start date
Split quantity
Standard values for the split

If the standard values in operations that have segments are copied from the operation and the split value is changed then this is called a quantity split. If the quantity is copied from the operation and the standard values are changed then it is a standard value split. The same is true for internally processed operations.

In the case of operations with operation segments you press a pushbutton to branch to a second screen or dialog box on which you can make entries for standard values.

A split is saved as a single capacity requirement that is identified by a split number. This split number can be used to make confirmations at split level (see also

Reduce capacity requirements of splits).

A remaining split record is always generated on splitting a capacity requirement if either a remaining quantity (in quantity-related operations) or remaining work (for internally processed operations) remains. The remaining split then contains the remaining quantity or remaining work as well as the dates of the corresponding capacity requirement or operation.

A remaining split record can be treated (for example, dispatched) like any other split. However, it cannot be deleted. The deletion of the remaining split record is carried out by the system if no remaining quantity or remaining work exists.
