Period Summaries

In addition to reviewing the capacity load of a work center, you can also evaluate the load that is placed on a work center. Evaluate the load by period and by item. You can review:

• The items that are scheduled for a work center.

• The number of units of an item that make up the load.

• The percent of the total load on the work center that is for a specific item's forecast.

  The system summarizes the load by the period, using the unit of measure that you specify.

You use this information to determine whether to adjust the forecast or the capacity at the work center.
