MF50 Control tab on Material and Line Overview

Question

Dear Gurus,
I am working on planning table MF50.
When I access MF50, enter the plant, MRP controller and go to CONTROL TAB, here there two two blocks available for additional lines / materials.
When I select the Material Overview -
While accessing Planning table thru MF50, when we restrict the selection thru material overview we can see only those materials which we select from the list.
When I select the Line Overview -
But when we try to restrict the production lines in similar way we can see the materials that belong to other lines (which are not selected) also. these materials are shown as other versions and appear uneditable(grey) but these can be edited by double clicking on them.
What can be the reason for this?
Regards,
Srini

Hi Sirin,
In REM u can use planning table (MF50) for capacity planning. if u want system to create capacity data pls check with following things,
1. Define Scheduling Parameters for Planned Orders - OPU5
Please check "scheduling " and "Generate capacity req" check box has beeb acitvated under one scheduling level for order type PE/ plant comibination at OPU5.
2. You must have created workcenter for the production line,
3. you must enter the workcenter in the prodution version in MRP view.
4. you must have created any routing with workcenter.
5.you must enter the routing, to the scheduling level (defiend at OPU5) in the production version.
5. Maintain scheduling data in front screen of the planning table (MF50)
Now enter Production line in MF50, check capacity data. plz try and come back
