Generate Resource Schedules and Capacity

Explanation

Perform this activity to generate resource schedules and capacity.

Resource schedules are generated using the base schedule defined on the resource (HCM Schedule or Calendar). It is also possible to generate resoucre schedules from resource connected Shift Pattern Templates. For scheduling resoucres, Scheduling Shifts are generated. The resoucre schedule consists of Resource Shifts that can be edited to change the resource availability and capacity. Changes to a shift will immediately reflect on the resource’s availability and capacity as well as the capcity of connected resource groups. The resource shifts can be viewed and edited in the Resource Availability and Resource Shift Gantt pages.

Resource capacity is used when analyzing available capacity compared to planned resource demands, and reflects the resources working time as well as the non-working time. Capacity is calculated for individual resources as well as resource groups. The resulting capacity is calculated based on the setup in Capacity Basis tab on the resource and gives valuable insights to Scheduled Capacity, Utilization Capacity and Adjusted Capacity for a resource and can be viewed in Resource Analysis page.

In the Generate Resource Schedules and Capacity diloague, it is possible to define the offset for the start and end date of the generation. There is also an option to select to remove all existing Shift Deviations for the period defined by the offsets in this dialog.
