Splitting and Allocating Capacity Requirements 

You can split capacity requirements and allocate these capacity requirements splits to individual capacities (in particular to people from human resources). To do this proceed as follows:

  1. Select an operation (requirements).
  2. Choose Functions → Split/Allocate....
  3. In the dialog box Define Splits enter the number of splits, the quantities/standard values or work/duration that you want.

In the case of operations with operation segments, by pressing a function key you reach the second dialog box in which you can make entries for the standard values (for example, various setup or processing times for the individual splits).

  1. If you want a split to be dispatched and receive the status "dispatched", then you should set the indicator "Split dispatched". The system only gives splits the status "dispatched" if they are assigned to people or individual capacities.
  2. Then choose Continue.

The individual splits appear in the pool beneath the capacity requirements that were split.

  1. Now dispatch the splits in case the indicator Split dispatched is not set.

The main capacity requirements can be dispatched to the work centers/capacities according to the strategy set. You can assign splits to the desired individual capacities manually or by setting the indicator Split dispatched . They are then given the status "Split dispatched".

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