Define RRP Unique Work Centers
Explanation
Use this activity to enter work centers to be used solely by resource
requirements planning (RRP). The work centers you use as planning resources can
have only the Planned state in the work center register. Such work
centers are usable only in resource planning. You can, however, also work with
work centers that have the Active state. This allows you to check
workload in a bottleneck, for example.
The information you enter for RRP-unique work centers is used when you work
with resource requirements planning. The information you enter for a work center
is default when you work with the work center. The information you enter in the
RRP Capacity
tab is used if the work center is a planning resource. The work center
does not need to have a state of Planned for you to enter
information here.
Prerequisites
There are no prerequisites for this activity.
System Effects
As a result of this activity, the system creates a work center solely used by
RRP, if the State is Planned.
