– Enable customers to
differentiate between
short-term detailed,
and mid-term rough
planning
• How

resource called
„unassigned task“
and use prefix $VJSRG$
– See capacity load for
entire resource group

9. Work With ‘True Length’
Of Job Planning Lines
• Why
– Help
customers
to reduce
number of job
planning lines
• How
– Use quantities >8 hours,
and reflect this in longer
job planning line bars
– Mirror this ‘true allocation’
in capacity load curve and
show ‘true’ utilization
• Please note
– Needs one change to the C/AL code

Of Job Planning Lines

resource to another
resource which belongs
to a different resource
group
