Enter Resource Capacity
Explanation
Perform this activity to define the capacity of a resource. Resource
capacity is used when analyzing available capacity compared to planned
resource demands.
Resource details related to capacity calculation are defined for a
certain period in the Capacity Basis tab in the
Resource Details page. Capacity can be defined for each
company and site connection refined on the resource. Additionally, for an
individual
resource either a HR schedule is used, or a calendar defined together with
the resource's utilization in the General tab.
Capacity is either based on Individuals or
Group:
- If based on Individuals, then the capacity of the
group will be calculated by summing-up the individual resource capacity.
For an individual
resource either a HR schedule or a calendar is used together with the
resource's % in Group to determine the percentage of
total work hours that the employee is available for the resource group
to which the resource belong.
- If based on Group, then the capacity of the
resource group will be calculated based on the calendar defined on the
resource group, as well as the parameters (such as Group
Utilization% and Adjustment%) defined in the
Capacity Basis tab.
Prerequisites
- Connection to at least one company or site must exist on the
resource.
- A valid HR schedule or calendar must be connected to the resource or
resource group.
