Customization needed for capacity setting

Question

Hi all
I cofigured the work center (Shift defination,shift sequence,break time)
I have given for one shift there is 21 hours capacity available (as for three machines
and each machine working 7 hours per shift)
But when I check in t-code CM03(Capacity Planning in Standard Overview it is given only 21 hours per day but it should be (63 for three shifts i.e per Day)
Why it is any costomization needed . Pls provide solution
Hoping for reply

Hi Dev,
Ultimately system would consider what you see in the "Available cap profile" in your work center master from Capacity view.
The below are main functions in Capacity and scheduling
<u><b>One is the Capacity availability check</b></u> - Here the systems checks just for the available capacity, i.e it will only consider the available capacity maintained in the <b>interval available capacity</b>, if its not maintained there, then system would check the <b>available capcity profile</b>. Once systems finds that capacity is available, system would reduce the available capcity once the capacity is confirmed. And available capacity profile is updated automatically by the system once you change the header or the interval available capacity
<u><b>The second one is detailed scheduling </b></u>
- Here the system does scheduling . The <b>shift sequence</b> plays a role here to give precise timing.
<b><u>The third one is Capacity levelling</u></b>
This is the one is where you precisely allocate the work centers or resources via planning table - Here the shift sequence and availability check both are considered also system would block particular work center for the dispatched dates and times.
Hope the above clarifies.
For your requirement, you need to make sure that 63 hrs is shown by the system in the Available capacity profile.
Moreover, interval available capacities' function is to override the header data and Hence always this would have higher priority. System also would show this data in available capacity profile populated automatically.
Please get back to me if you have further clarifications
