This chapter contains the topic:
Section 37.1, "Setting Up Depot Throughput Capacity."
From Load and Delivery Management (G49), enter 29
From Load and Delivery System Setup (G4941), choose Throughput Capacity by Period
You set up throughput capacity for each depot to record that depot's capacity to deliver product on a given day. You can set up throughput capacity by dispatch group, delivery method, zone, shift, month, and year.
Each grouping of fields on the Throughput Capacity by Period calendar begins with a Sunday. The system arranges the days to match the calendar for the month you specify. For each day, you must enter a corresponding value representing the depot capacity.
The values you provide as input for depot throughput capacity are estimates derived from experience. They are not based on actual inventory or resource availability. The system uses the information you enter as depot throughput capacity to update the Resource Load Inquiry program. The dispatcher accesses the Resource Load Inquiry program to determine if the depot capacity is sufficient to meet the planned product loading by trips and sales orders.
Set up the work day calendar. See Section 52.1, "Setting Up the Work Day Calendar."
