6 CAPACITY PLANNING
In SAP capacity planning to help determine whether available capacity (like machines and workers) can
be handle the workload generated from planed or released production orders.
6.1 KEY COMPONENTS
6.1.1 Work Center: Where operations are performed (e.g, machine or production line)
6.1.2 Routing: Sequence of operations with time needed for each operations
6.1.3 Capacity Category: Machine and Labor etc.
6.1.4 Capacity Evolution/Leveling: Viewing overloads and making adjustments.
6.2 STEP –BY-STEP- :( CAPACITY PLANNING IN SAP)
GO TO CM01
Check the capacity ENTER Plant
Work Centre
loads(CM01) Planing version(usually "000")

Required capacity
Execute to view Load Percentage
Perform the Enter Plant
Work Center
capacity leveling Execute
(CM21)
7 PRODUCTION SCHEDULE
Production schedule is the process of planning when and in what sequence production orders should be
executed-so that material, machine, and labor are available at the right time.
It ensure:
1. On-time delivery
2. Efficient use of resources
3. No bottlenecks or Idle time
SAP uses lead time scheduling to calculate start and finish dates for each operations in a production
orders.
7.1 HOW TO DO IT IN SAP (SIMPLIFIED STEPS)
7.1.1 Create routing (CA01): Define the steps and durations
7.1.2 Create work center order (CR01): Define the capacity and calendar
7.1.3 Create the production order (C001): Enter material, quantity plant
7.1.4 Schedule the order:
In the order screen, click function->schedule->Automatic
SAP calculate start /End date using routing and work center data.
7.1.5 Review Schedule:
Use CM21 to see graphical schedule
Adjust if needed (Drag –and-drop)

Create a factory In SCAL, Select factory calendar –Create
Calendar Assign
(1) Holiday Calendar
(2) Working Calendar
(3) Validity Period
Assign a Plant
Use T-Code (OX10)
0X10 Select your plant and assign the factory Calendar
