Required Capacity Page

Use the Required Capacity page (PL_WB_CAP_DRILLDWN) to review required capacity. Review the production operations that are placing a load on a resource in a period and create new planned production.

Note:

On the Required Capacity page, you can review required capacity for production and planned production. The fields that appear in the Production grid area and the Planned Production grid area are identical and are defined only once in this section.

Common Information

Field or Control	Description
Resource Code and Resource Class	Displays the resource and class that are detailed in the Resource Summary group box.
Start Date	Displays the start date that is currently scheduled for the operation.
End Date	Displays the end date that is currently scheduled for the operation.
Available Capacity	Displays the total capacity that is available for utilization.
Required Capacity	Represents the header level capacity requirements for all of the production operations that are included in the planning instance.
Utilization	Displays the ratio between required capacity and available capacity.
Production ID	Click to access the maintenance page for the corresponding production operation in the Supply Planning - Refine Plan menu.
Planning Sequence Number	Represents the numbering scheme that the system uses to synchronize planned orders in the Optimization Framework table with those in the transaction system. Each time that you run the Optimization Table Load process in Regeneration mode, the process initializes the next available planning sequence number to zero. The process resequences all of the planned orders that exist in the transaction system when inserting them into the Optimization Framework table. After inserting all of the orders into the table, the process updates the next available planning sequence number on the problem instance table to equal the last planning sequence number that was used plus one. As new planned orders are inserted within the Optimization Framework table, the system increments the planning sequence number for each new record inserted.
Show Supply (button)	Click the Show Supply button for an order to access the corresponding Show Supply page, where you can view a list of orders, the outputs of which will be used to satisfy the demands of the selected order.
Show Demand (button)	Click the Show Demand button for an order to access the corresponding Show Demand page, where you can view a list of orders that will use the items that are supplied from the selected order.
Operation Sequence	Indicates where in the manufacturing or rework process you need the component. The operation sequence refers to an operation on the assembly item's routing. For manufacturing bills of materials (BOMs), this is the item's production routing. For rework BOMs, this value is the item's rework routing. The default operation sequence is 0, which is the first operation of the manufacturing or rework process. Define operation sequence on the item's routing by using the Routing Definition Summary page. If you set the operation sequence for all of the items to 0, the system assumes that all of the items are needed at the beginning of production and must be issued at the start of the first operation. See PeopleSoft Manufacturing: Defining Work Centers.

Usage Details Tab

Select the Usage Details tab.

Field or Control	Description
Usage Start Date/Time	Displays the start time that the system uses to calculate and allocate the remaining capacity requirement for the production task when a portion of the task has been completed. The system calculates a load duration value based on the remaining task quantity, then uses that value with the task end time to establish the load start time.
Usage End Date/Time	Displays the operation end date and time plus any additional post production time that is required.
Required Capacity	Represents the capacity requirements for the corresponding production operation.
Percent Load	Displays the percentage of the required capacity in the period attributed to this production operation.
Status	Displays the status for the corresponding production ID.
Frozen	If selected, indicates that this production order cannot be rescheduled automatically by a planning solver.

Operation Details Tab

Select the Operation Details tab.

Field or Control	Description
Planning Start Date/Time	Displays the current date that PeopleSoft Supply Planning intends to begin the operation.
Planning End Date/Time	Displays the current date that PeopleSoft Supply Planning intends to finish the operation.
Item ID	Displays the item that is produced by the corresponding production operation.

Configuration Code

Field or Control	Description
Configuration Code	A non-active field that is related to a deprecated product.
