CRP on Pooled Capacity
I have successfully been able to create and assign a pooled capacity to a work center. I am wondering, however, how to review requirements against that pooled capacity. (similar to CM50 with work centers) Is there a way to review pooled capacity requirements which are loaded from multiple work centers, or must you review a specific work center and then check capacity by the capacity category? Any help would be much appreciated. thanks
Hi,
you'll check with the transaction CM03-POOL, CM25-CAPACITY LEVELING and CM25-CAPACITY EVAULATION.
your problem will match & resolve your problem to these tcodes.

Hello all,
At a client site am using Pooled capacity at Work centers(SAP resources) to help capacity planning with some pooled resources. So during planned order scheduling or in production(process) order the time required to complete the operation is higher than the Recipe(Route) time.
Eg: - Recipe time for operation at a Pooled Resource =10 min
Planned order or Production order time at that operation shows as 15 min
So the question is how does SAP read 10 min Recipe processing time & calculate 15 min as actual required time in Production( Process ) order.
I could not find any relevant SAP writeup on the pooled capacity concept & detailed sheduling being done.
So if anyone has been able to find more explanation from SAP on this will be appreciated.
Also please share your experience on scheduling using pooled capacity.
Thanks,

Assigning Pooled Capacities
Prerequisites
You can assign a pooled capacity to a work center
Pooled capacities can only be created independently from the work center in capacity maintenance. If you want to make a work center independent capacity a pooled capacity, set the Pooled capacity indicator in the General data section of the screen and then choose Enter
Procedure
Enter in the required capacity category in the capacity overview of the work center the name of the pooled capacity.
If the default capacity of a work station does not intend pooled capacities to be assigned, you can do this nonetheless:
Delete the capacity category by choosing Edit ® Delete.
Create a new capacity category by choosing Edit ® New entries.
Maintaining Scheduling Data
From any work center screen choose Goto ® Scheduling.
The Scheduling screen appears.
Enter the capacity with its capacity category whose execution time you want to use for scheduling. This can be either a work center capacity or a pooled capacity.
The capacity data must have already been entered in the work center.
Maintain formulas for operation segments (for production orders) or for internal processing time (for networks and maintenance orders).
If you do not enter a formula for an operation segment, the execution time of this segment is set to zero.
If you do not enter a formula for internal processing time, the duration in the network or maintenance order is used.
Via Extras ® Formula you can assign a formula constant a value and an unit, display a formula and test formulas
Maintain queue times and if necessary the dimension and units of measure for work in internal processing operations.
Hope this helps.

Hi,
I would like to know, is it possible to use pooled capacity in SAP PS and how it really works.
Pls advise.
Regards
RajuHi Narayan........
Yes it is possible to use pooled Capacity in PS.........pooled capacity means the capacity which can be shared by several work centers at the same time. Whenecr you are creating a capacity in PS, just click on Pooled Capacity so that it will become pooled capacity. For your help.........go through this link also..........

Sequence dependent setup (setuo matrix) with pooled capacity
Hi all,
We are facing a problem in the sequence dependent setup. We have a pooled capacity in ECC on which we want sequence dependent setup happening in APO. In APO orders are required to be scheduled on this resource and this resource is the primary resource. When I am trying to do the Detailed scheduling the time from the matrix is the one in which there is no predecessor.
Is sequence dependent setup not possible with pooled resource. Is it the standard system behaviour or am I missing something here.
Thanx for the help.Insted of making pooled capacity you better try with alternate sequence.
system is behaving properly. -
Hi all,
I would like to create a new pooled capacity for resource X.
Please help me how to proceed?
Is there any place in customizing where we need to maintain it? Or do we need to configure it?Please provide me the steps.
Thanks in advance

AvinashHi,
You need to create the Pooled Capacity in T. Code : CR11.
Here enter your capacity category and Capacity.
Here you check the Pooled Capacity.
Now Create/Change Work ceter - Capacity Tab page:
If your default work center/default capacity does not allaow the Pooled Capcity then goto Edit and Delete the Capacity.
Now again Edit--> New Entrie, Enter the Capacity Category and Pooled Capacity just now creatd.
In the Capacity Over view you will get the Pooled Capacity Checked and new capacity for you.
Hope this helps to create the pooled capacity.
Revert for further discussion.

Pooled Capacity Not updating in Work center
Hi All, I want to update pooled capacity in Work center. But when i delete the existing capacity it is giving error that " Capacity still being used". Can any one suggest,how to tackle this problem? I want to give solution to Client. Thanks in Advance..!
HI,
Capacity Utilisation rate = Actual Capacity / Theoritical Capacity
Theoritical Capacity= Shift period * No. of machines available
= 8 hrs * 2 = 16 hrs
Actual Capacity value depends on how the company decides it. Say if the break 30 mins has to be considered, then the actual capacity will be 15 hrs for 2 capacities and hence,
Capacity Utilisation rate = 15 / 16 = 93.8%
So, decide the utilisation rate based on the Company's requiremnt.
Hope the above gives you an idea.

Dear PP gurus,
I am trying to activate pooled capacity.
I have created a capacity in cr11 with pooled capacity ticked and capacity category person
but when i try to create a work center in cr01, in the capacity tab capacity pool is greyed out
I gave capacity category , then also it is greyed out .
Do I have to do some configuration setting?
(I have got a tab called HRMS in the capacity tab - does that affect pooled capacity?)Dear,
Create the pooled capacity using transaction CR11, and in the capacity header, "Pooled Capacity" check box is to be activated.
and then assigned to the work-center capacity tab - Pooled Capacity field.
Now Create/Change Work center - Capacity Tab page:
If your default work center/default capacity does not allow the Pooled Capacity then go to Edit and Delete the Capacity.
Now again Edit--> New Entries, Enter the Capacity Category and Pooled Capacity just now created.
In the Capacity Over view you will get the Pooled Capacity Checked and new capacity for you.
Hope this helps to create the pooled capacity.
You can assign this pooled capacity in the work center creation in CR01,under capacity overview ,just below to the capacity category.

Pooled capacity, machine work center can have labour?
Dear All,
1) We have eg. a common pool of welders for Location A and Location B welding work centers. How do we setup the pooled capacity and assign to them?
2) We have eg. 2 CNC machining work centers (Vert and Horiz) but we have labour support to do machine setup, labour related jobs etc. If we need to perform labour capacity planning in this machine-based work center, is this done by maintaining a separate work center for this labour support and assigned to the same Cost Center? Or for machine-based work center, labour capacity planning is not required?
Thank you for contributing.Dear
We have eg. a common pool of welders for Location A and Location B welding work centers. How do we setup the pooled capacity and assign to them?
There is no differnce between pooled capacity and available caapcity .Only thing is you can utilised this capacity pool for various work centre level.
To do that , Goto - SPRO-Production -BAsic Data-Work center-Capacity Planning-Define Capacity categories -Create Capacity Categoery for common pool of welders , Create Capacity in CR11 and assing them into Work cetre Capaicty tab-Pooled Capacity Catogeries and maintian No of indivuial caapcity in Capacity Header -Standard Available caapcity-Indivual Capacity ( Total Number of welders with working timing , utilisation ) .
Quest2 : To address this issue , you can select Setup , Labour and Machine in Defalut tab of same Work centre with proper Standard Value Key .Now , as they are all part of the Production activity , so you can keep the same Cost Centre ( Production Cost Centre ) in the Work centre tab with Formula Key of Labour ,Machine and setup .Goto CR02-Default Tab and Costing tab .
Hope this is clear

HI All,
I have created the independent capacity and activated as pooled capacity which is a group of labors,
Now I have the Work Center which is a machine work center, this group of labors are used in diff work centers, so I assigned them to these work centers in capacity Tab of WC.
I have capacity formulas assigned to Machine capacity and pooled capacity is assigned to labor capacity which is created in WC,
Do in need to assign this pooled capacity in Scheduling tab, using Capacity category as Person ?
OR it is sufficient to assign pooled capacity in capacity tab page?
In my scheduling, part I wanted to have scheduling on the maximum time consumed in operation. But in planned order scheduling tab, I cud see both machine and labor.
Where am I getting wrong.
Please suggest
Regards

Edited by: raghu m on Nov 26, 2009 4:11 PMHello Mr. Bramhnakar,
Thanks for your reply,
Yes i have tried the settings you mentioned.
My doubts are :
Should the Pooled capacity be getting calculated in Scheduling.
Since I gave capacity formulas, for both capacities in Work Center,
and scheduling formula in scheduling tab.
In routing i gave 12 Hr machine and 16 Hr in Labor (Pooled),
In Planned order, I can see the Both Taming, But after converting it to Prod Order, In Operation details tab->dates, i cansee the scheduling on the Machine Time, for which i gave formula in WC--Scheduling tab. This is confusing for me since in Planned order i cud find both but in Production order i found One,
In Routing i have activated Req. Overlapping.
One more query sir,
Is their any problem if i use Splitting indicator with count of available capacity in WC,
I did this bse the all order were followin in diff dates.

BEA-000627 issue.. reached max pool capacity
I got this reached max pool capacity error msg shown below..
What is confusing to me is , how does the increment level become -ve... Shoudnt it be zero instead of -11 ?
<BEA-000627> <Reached maximum capacity of pool "aPool", making "-11" new resource instances instead of "5".>
Then a stack trace follows this error message saying
negativeArraySizeException, which is understandable becoz it is trying to increase the pool by -11.. The stack trace is shown below...
Has anyone seem anything like this ? Any thoughts ?

Why different Overall requirements value between labor and pool capacity
Hi all,
I create a PM Order with using a PP work center and this PP work has 3 Capacity category: machine, labor, pool.
after I check the PM Order with CM35
and i find out, that Overall requirements value are different between labor and pool capacity. Is this normal?
In my opinion,labor and pool should have same amount requirements of capacities.

Why ist Pool Capacity from PP work center automatically involved
Hi, All
i use PP work center to create a PM Order.
this PP work center has machine-, labor- and pool capacity. and I add "SAP008" into field "other fomula" for labor capacity in Tab capacities.
now after I create a PM Order, when I check CM50, I can see for this PP Work center also Pool Capacity involved.
Question:
1. where comes this Pool capacity, even though I didnot set any formula in field "other formula" for pool capacity in Tab capacities?
2. for creating PM Order, do I also need add "SAP008" into field "other fomula" for machine capacity in Tab capacities?
thanks®ardsHi Shrithar,
Do you means the time Profile in CM50.
when I check this time Profile, I see differant time interval, -Database read period
-Evalution period
-plannung period
-Dispatching of backlog
is it also influencing work center capacities?
thanks®ards -
Hi
what is the purpose of Labor pool capacity levelling in workcenter?
Regards
VelHi Velavan,
Further to the experts comments...below is the business siginificance...
Pooling is basically aggregating the capacities(either labor or machines) to get that used when ever and where ever it is required. For ex, There are several assembly lines in a shop floor, each assembly line requires a set of labour to carry out the production, if at all the pooling is not in picture, then the resource belong to an assembly line cannot be worked on another line, in a given day, if the labor attendance is poor and if all the assembly lines cannot work, then ususally the available labors will be pooled and made some of assembly lines to work. To accomodate this kind of situation...SAP has provided a concept pooling. If you required anything on setting up and execution of labor pooling in SAP technically then please let us the community know or refer krsihnendu's link....

Win 8.1 Storage Pool not allowing "add drive" nor allow expand capacity
Have one Storage Space within one Storage Pool (Parity mode) containing 4 identical hard drives.
Used for data storage, it appears to be functioning normally
and
has filled 88% of capacity
(ie. 88% x 2/3 of physical capacity (parity mode))
The only other storage on this new PC is an SSD used for OS (win 8.1 pro) and application software.
In "Manage Storage Spaces"
displays this warning message to add drives:
< Warning >
< Low capacity; add 3 drives >
After clicking "add drives", it displays:
"No drives that work with Storage Spaces are available. Make sure that the drives that you want to use are connected.".
However I had connected another two identical hard drives via SATA cables and "Disk Management" displays these two drives available.
in summary:
"Manage Storage Spaces" does not find these drives as available although they show correctly in Disk Management.
btw - I removed the pre-existing partitioning on the 'new' drives so now they show only as "unallocated" in "Disk Management". (I did
likewise before Storage Pool found the 4 original drives)
Perhaps the problem is to increase the total nominal capacity of the Storage Space, before can add more drives?
Microsoft says that the capacity of Storage Pools can be increased but cannot be decreased -
but computer displays no Change "button" by which this can be done. There is supposed to be a "Change" button but that is
not displaying for me. So "Manage Storage Spaces" offer me no option to manage the "size" of the pool.
only five options are displayed:
Create a storage space (ie. from the small amount remaining unused in the Pool)
Add drives (.... as explained already)
Rename pool (only renames the storage space)
Format (ie. re-format and so lose all current data)
Delete (ie. delete the storage space and so lose all current data)
using Google, find nothing bearing on this problem
except the most basic instructions to set up a storage space!
Can you help?
The problem is that the Storage Pool is not displaying a "button" to increase capacity, and when click "add drives" finds no hard drives available.Hi,
I would suggest you launch Device Manager, then expand
Disk drives. Right-click the disk listed as "Disk drive", and select
Uninstall. On the Action menu, click Scan for hardware changes to reinstall the disk.
Please also take a look of this link:
see this part: How do I increase pool capacity?
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/11382.storage-spaces-frequently-asked-questions-faq.aspx#How_do_I_increase_pool_capacity
According to the link, to extend a parity space, the pool would need the appropriate number of columns available to accommodate the layout of the disk.

Capacity check problem in Project system
hi,
i have some questions for the Capacity check problems in Project System.
1. if one Person is assigned to diffierent Work Centers, for example, person A is assigned to Work Center 01 under Plant 01, and Work Center 02 under Plant 02, how can i do the Capacity check?
if i want to use A of Work Center 01 in the Project, the System will only check the Capacity of 01, or both of 01 and 02?
2. What is the Pooled Capacity?
Rgds,
Lianghi,
1.Capacity check takes place at plant level itself..
2.Pooled capacity:- This is created separately in [u wil find in PP] and this capacity can be used by different work centers.
