CProjects - "Available Capacity" for resources

Dear Experts,
We are on cProjects 4.0, Support Pack 11.
We have a requirement by which we use a four-day-per-week calendar. Also, this calendar is required to have some holidays which are specific to our business. And this works good in our calendar.
However, we notice that the "Available Capacity" for resources (Under Resources > Staffing) does not caluclate the available hours based on this calendar. So to say, the available capacity for resources is calculated on the basis of some different calendar. We can make changes to the availability of a resource per day (from 8 to, say, 10 hours per day). But what we have not been able to do is to have the availablity calculated on the basis of the working days available in the project calendar.
How can we do this?
Summary
How can we get the application to calculate "Available Capacity" for resources on the basis of a calendar of our liking and not the system's?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Bittu

Hi Vivek,
This helped and you get 6 points!!
I could make the settings as per your suggestion and see that the 'Available' capacity for resources is now governed by the 'factory calendar' and 'hours' per day that I specify.
However, we have a requirement by which this 'Available Capapcity' may not be governed by the the same calendar for every resource. For e.g., resource R1 may have 'Available capacity' based on calendar C1 and Resource R2 may have an 'Available Capcity' based on calendar C2. How do I make allowance for this?
What I mean is, the settings that I have done works good but the same rule applies to all the resources. Is there a way I can make one setting applicable to one resource and another setting applicable to another resource??
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Bittu.

APO - capacity profile time capacity for resources

Dear all,
I have a problem which I hope can be resolved by one of you ...
In APO, it is possible to add downtimes for resources using transaction /SAPAPO/RES01 ... After adding this, we can click on "capacity profile" and then we see the time capacity of a resource with all downtimes per shift (with capacity variant) ... I would like to use this time capacity in a program, so it would be interesting to have this information on DDIC-level ... I am looking for some days now, but I don't find which tables to read or which BAPI / function to use ?
Does anyone know how I can find this data ?
Thanks in advance for the assistance !
Greetz,
Kurt.

Hi Kurt,
You can use the below tables/views in which Resource and Capacity Profile related data is stored.
Tables:
/SAPAPO/RES_INTQ - Resource Capacity Intervals
/SAPAPO/RES_INTV - Resource Capacity Intervals
/SAPAPO/RESCAP - Capacity Profile: Resource Time Capacity
/SAPAPO/RESDIM - Dimensions and Capacity of a Resource
/SAPAPO/RESDOWN - Resource Downtime
/SAPAPO/RESDOWNT - Resource Downtime
/SAPAPO/RESKEY - Reset Key for Resource to UID
Views:
/SAPAPO/V_RESVER- Resource Capacity Variants
/SAPAPO/VRESINTQ - Resource Interval of Available Capacity Quantity Model
/SAPAPO/VRESINTR - Resource Interval of Available Capacity Rate Model
BAPIs available to read:
BAPI_RSSRVAPS_GETCAPAPRO - Read Resource Capacities Profile
BAPI_RSSRVAPS_REQUESTCAPAPRO - Query: Selection of Capacities for Resource and Result Transfer
BAPI_RSSRVAPS_GETLIST - Selection of Resources
I hope this will help you to get the data which you want to read.

How do I delete files to make available capacity for my startup disk?

My laptop is constipated and will not startup... I loaded too big of an iTunes library on it. I connected via firewire and deleted about 40GB of files. Get info still says I have only 52MB of space and my laptop will not fully startup. How do I permanently delete unwanted files so my startup disk has enough capacity to start?

Workforce planning- issue with available capacity

Hi All,
I have an issue in workforce planning. I have created a workcentre and have entered the required details in capacity tab to arrive at available capacity. The available capacity for this workcentre is visible in transaction CM01.
I have done the workforce palnning using worcentre view in transaction CMP3, but for some reason I am unable to see the workcentre avaliabile capacity. I only see the distributed total requirements.
Would appreciate any pointers on this.
Regards
Pradeesh

Regarding the availablity of CMP3, it refers the availability of assigned persons rather than the work centers.
Please check the involved person with transaction PA30 using infotype 007
(see details in consultant note 543362).
Kind regards,
Zhenbo

CMP2 work force planning available capacity shows less

In CMP2 workforce planning : The available capacity for a person (assigned to activity) shows 7.5 Hrs each day although Capacity for that one resours is 8 Hrs (=Operating time). There is only 1 capacity in the work center.
Can some one give any idea why this descrepancy ?
Thanks.

Hi,
Also check the formula used in the capacities tab of the workcenter.

Fields for Available capacity in SAP

We are trying to generate Z report on Availabile capacity
Under normal transaction : by going in CR03 we can have Start time / Finish Time based on which we get operating time in hours, we need to capture the Avaialble capacity we are not getting this field in any SAP table
Max we go in KAKO by capacity ID of resource and get Start time, Finish Time , Breaktime in Seconds & % utilization how do i convert this in Hours,i have tried various combinations but it does not matches in CR03
Can anyone suggest how to convert this seconds or any other table from which i can get Availability Capacity in hrs

Dear Bhavesh,
Check this logic,
Available Capacity = From table KAKO take the fields BEGZT(shift start), ENDZT(shift end) and PAUSE(break time),divide this
value by 3600 and you will get it hours.
For example if BEGZT - 25200,then 25200/3600 = 07:00:00 start time.
ENDZT - 54000,then 54000/3600 = 15:00:00 end time.
Check this logic a.capacity = {(BEGZT - ENDZT) - PAUSE}NGRADAGNOR /100

SNP Resource available capacity variance

Hi friends,
need your help??
I am using an SNP resource with capacity 500 min per day(Bucket). but after thew SNP run when i download the optimizer log data( Transaction:/SAPAPO/SNPOPLOG) the available capacity derived from the log is for the particular day is different than the actual capacity of the resource(i.e. it is less than the actual available capacity).
How can be this issue resolved.??
please revert back urgently

Hi kiran ,
Check for the following possible reasons :
Try this resource in SNP Heuristic and check the capacity and do levelling.
Check the Time zone and the calenders for this resource and plant.
Check the overload % and min load % rounding & down times.
See oss note 510339.
Optimizer gives the results based on the settiing you have entered,and you will only be able to analyse it better .

FM for checking Available Capacity of Work Center

Dear All,
I have trying to find a Function Module to get the latest available date of the Work Center (The Period where no Production Orders has been dispatched to it). It is only when the Work Center is available then we can dispatch the Production Order's processes to its work center.
Does anybody knows which Function Module or Table where I can get the latest available date for carrying out the Production Order dispatch process. Any inputs would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Dear
Goto CM05/CM07-Select Work Centre Load or Work Centre Basic Load -Enter Work Centre or just give the Plant Code -Hit Standard Profile -It will display you weekly basis Work Centre Avaliable Capacity , Requirement , Load .
It will give you a broad picture over an period -You can select any one the check box representing Weeks or you can change over in Monthly basis .For that you have select Planning -Profile -Option Profile -daily , Monthly , Weekly , yearsly
If you are stick to FM : Help about available capacity

Authoriization object for resource search in cProjects

Does anybody know which authorization object is required for resource search in cProjects 5.0 ? I need to to grant an access exactly via the user role and authorization object, not via the Authorization bookmark in cProjects.
Thanks!

Hello Kiryl,
this is what you can do with Cprojects 4.5:
cProjects Roles
The following single roles are delivered with cProjects:
Role Authorization
SAP_CPR_PROJECT_ADMINISTRATOR Create projects (project definitions).
SAP_CPR_TEMPLATE_ADMINISTRATOR
Create, change, read, and delete all
templates in cProjects.
SAP_CPR_USER
Use cProjects, but no authorization to
perform any activities in a particular project.
To do this users need project-specific
authorizations, which can be distributed
either directly or through their assignment to
a role.
This role must be included in every
cProjects composite role.
The following composite roles are delivered with cProjects:
Role Authorization
SAP_CPR_DECISON_MAKER cProjects decision maker. Contains the role
SAP_CPR_USER.
SAP_CPR_INTERESTED cProjects interested party. Contains the role
SAP_CPR_USER.
SAP_CPR_MEMBER cProjects team member. Contains the role
SAP_CPR_USER.
SAP_CPR_PROJECT_LEAD cProjects project manager. Contains the role
SAP_CPR_PROJECT_ADMINISTRATOR
and SAP_CPR_USER
SAP_CPR_TEMPLATE_RESPONSIBLE cProjects template responsible. Contains the
roles
SAP_CPR_TEMPLATE_ADMINISTRATOR
and SAP_CPR_USER
You can use these SAP standard roles or create your own. For more information see the
solution management content for cProjects under Solutions → mySAP PLM → Configuration
Settings → SAP cProject Suite 4.00 → General Settings → Activating Single Roles for
cProjects and Creating Roles for the Project-Specific Authorization Checks.
In cProjects, you carry out Customizing activities in the SAP Web AS. Only
system administrators, that is, users with the authorization profile SAP_ALL, are
authorized to carry out Customizing for cProjects.
Hope this helps.

In Shop Floor Management can I setup a shop dispatch list for upstream and downstream orders for a department or resource? Capacity for a department?

Have a client that requires detailed dispatch information for upstream and downstream lot based jobs in Shop Floor Management module. Also visibility into capacity for a department or resource. Is this possible using only Shop Floor Management
Post here or contact [email protected]

Hi,
I just went through the same problem. Don't know if it is still open.
In customizing under "Project System"->"Structures"->"Operative Structures"->"Network"->"Printing in Networks" you will find entry "Recommendations for printing and print control". There it is stated that the number of time tickets or number of confirmation slips entered for the activity is greater than zero.
Check in transaction OPS0 if you have set the number of prints greater than zero in menu point "List control for transactions (double clic on the entry).

Available capacity in APO

Hi,
I have a resource for which the PLANNED DOWNTIME has been maintained as 12 hrs a day for next few months
On top of it, the FACTORY SHUT DOWN (this has been picked from the fact cal) has been maintained in the CAPACITY PROFILE in APO
Logically speaking I should now see AVILABLE CAPACITY as 12 hrs in the capacity profile in the Resource
But I see sometimes as 12 hrs and some times as 3 hrs in the capacity profile in the Resource
and in the planning book I am seing the available capacity as '0'
Kindly share your interpratation , how do I look into this issue to fix
Thanks,
SS
Edited by: SAPSriman on Dec 7, 2010 8:40 AM

Hi,
First check if the same resource in APO is maintained as external capacity or not.If the same is activated then check the resource capacity in ECC.Check the intervals and shifts.
If the same is not true then check the capacity profiles and the avalable capacity versions maintained in resource master in APO.
Since from factory calender resource blocking is only possible for at least a day so any availble hours is basically for resource blocking.
Check the shift sequence.If your shift sequence is cross period the 3 hours can be coming from previous period.
Hope the points can help you.

Available Capacity in LTP

Hi,
During creation of a planning scenario during LTP, we have a facility of assigning the Available capacity versions. Imagine, that a few versions have been defined with '01' as the active version and some Simulative what if scenrio versions. This active version has been maintained in the relevant WC/Resource.
Now during the creation, I would like to assing one of the what if scenario available capacity version. But I am really not sure how the system is supposed to behave since this version is not attached to any capacities in the work centres.
Now in case i would need to analyse the what if scenario capacities, what is it that needs to be done.
I have tried digging in some of the SAP material but came up with nothing.
Any pointers on how to use the Available capacity versions and what settings needs to be done will be much appreciated.
Regards
Kiki

1. SAP has given this facitliy so that we can do a simulation based on different capacities.
2. For this first you have to maintain different version of capcity in the workcentre level
3. in the workcentre in the capacity tab you can see version , so can create different version of capacity here .
4. Later when you create a planning scenario then you can plan with different version and do simulation.
kindly let me know if this resolves,else will explain in detail.

Help about available capacity

Hi Experts,
I want to know the entire available capacity of my plant and also maximum how much quantity I can produce by using this available capacity, Is there any T-code or any reports?
Please help.
Regards,
Imran

Dear,
It is possible through Rough cut planning
Here we check the capacity for our bottel neck work center. So you have to define time for your material requried to manufacture certain quantity on this work center . Ex-enter the time to produce 1 pc
Create Rough cut planning profile - MC35. Enter material and plant nd execute. Enter status = 4, usage = 1. Enter a resource name and double clik on that line, choose example work centre: Enter work center name, plant and unit = H.
Enter the times required in Hours in the time buckets and save
Create SOP plan - MC87. Enter material and plant. Execute. Enter sales and prod qty. Go to views>Capacity situation>Rough cut planning>show.
Or in MC82, go to views->capacity situation->show
You could display the capacity requirements at the bottom of the screen.
Please refer this link also,

Why Do I get 0h hours for resources after using Resource Levelling in Project 2010?

Hi,
We are using MSProject 2010 and Project Server 2010 with Enterprise resources. All resources on all projects in the enterprise are shared resources. We are finding that after resource levelling is applied to the project some resources are only
being assigned a fraction of their total availability, and in some cases Project will assign 0 hours to a resource for several consecutive weeks even though the resource has capacity for the week the task is scheduled to start.
For example: Let's say we have a task that is scheduled to start on 1-20-14. The task is a 112 hours of effort with no constraints and one resource assigned to it. The resource is available 40 hours per week for the next 4 weeks. After resource
levelling I would expect Project to assign the resource as follows: 40 hours in week 1, 40 hours the next week and 32 hours the next week, for a total of 112 hours. Instead, Project does not assign the resource to the task until week 4 (even
though the resource has capacity on the start date of the task) and pushes the finish date out. In some weeks the resource has 0h hours showing in the timephased grid on the Resource Usage sheet. We have experimented with the levelling settings and it
does not seem to matter which boxes are checked, but following is our preferred settings:
1. Levelling Calculations set to Manual
2. Look for overallocations on a day by day basis
3. Clear levelling values before levelling is CHECKED
4. Level entire project is selected.
5. Levelling order is Priority,Standard
6. Level only within available slack is CHECKED
7. Levelling can adjust individual assignments on a task is CHECKED
8. Levelling can create splits in remaining work is UNCHECKED
9. Level resources with the proposed booking type is UNCHECKED
10. Level manually scheduled tasks is CHECKED.
Does anyone have any ideas about why Project is not using the resource's available capacity?
Thanks, Judy

Hi Judy,
Thanks to give us more detail. But actually if you need to level a resource, it means that this resource is overallocated. In your example, since it is not overallocated on the 12weeks task you mention, it means that it should be assigned on another task.
If not, there would be no need to perform any resource levelling.
Concerning the fact that levelling assign resource at 0hr per week, this can be absolutely normal.
Imagine that you have a resource working at 100% on 2 tasks on the same period. imagine also that there is actual work on one of the 2 tasks. Project will level the resource, meaning that it will move ahead the remaining work of one of the task (depending
on the levelling parameters). But the actual work will not move, thus between the actual work and the moved-foreward remaining work, the resource will be assign at 0hr by time period on the splitted task.
Please check all the task of the levelled resource and actual work.
See in my example below:
Hope this helps.
