Machine Center Load Window

Shows an overview of availability at the current machine center. With this overview, you can see the capacity, the allocated quantity, availability after order, and the load in percent at this machine center.

The Period column on the left contains a series of dates that are determined by the time interval you have selected. You change the time interval in the View by field.

The columns in the window display the following:

Important

If you have set the time interval to Day and you need to scroll far ahead or backwards, you can do it faster by shifting to a larger interval such as Quarter. When you have found the desired period, you can shift back to smaller intervals to see the data in greater detail.
