You can use the Planner Workbench to view capacity information for a plan, as long as you have Oracle Capacity installed.
Note: Depending on your setup, capacity information calculated might include line requirements for discrete jobs and planned orders.
Before you can view capacity information from the Planner Workbench, you must:
To indicate that you want to plan both materials and capacity, check the Plan Capacity check box in the Plan Options window before you run the plan. If the plan is an MPS plan, also assign a Bill of Resource to at least one organization. See: Reviewing or Adding Plan Options.
Note: The Plan Capacity flag is enabled only when CRP is installed.
Launch the plan.
