Understanding Resource Profile Automatic Generation

If you have defined bills of material (BOMs) and routings for an end item and all of its subassemblies, you can run the Resource Profile Regeneration program (R3365) to automatically generate the resource profile. The program calculates the load on a work center by extending the hours in the routing by the forecasted quantities for the master-scheduled items.

The Resource Profile Regeneration program creates units of measure only in hours (HR). Enter the resource profile manually if you want to use other units of measure.

Resource Profile Regeneration changes or updates the resource profile by using components with effectivity dates within the period that you specify. The specific items that are affected by the program are determined by such factors as:

• The system retrieves routings only for BOM components that are effective within the range of effectivity dates in the processing options for the regeneration.

• The system creates resource profiles only from BOM components with effectivity dates that are within the effectivity dates that are assigned to the item and the processing options.

• The Effective From date in the resource profile is the earliest of the dates in the processing option, the BOM, or the routing Effective From dates.

• The Effective Thru date for resource profiles is the latest of the dates in the processing option, the BOM, or the routing Effective Thru dates.

This diagram illustrates all the BOMs and routings with effectivity dates that are within the Effective From and Effective Thru dates:
