Hi, We would like to start using our employees/labor classes as a Finite resource. Now, only the work centers are finite.Is it correct, like with the work centers, we just need to put the labor class on finite capacity and connect the calanders/ calculate capacity? How does APB behave if you don’t have anough capacity on your labor class? Let say you need 2 employees, but you only have one. Can you than say ‘it will take double as long’ or does he just say ‘not possible’?Thanks!

Hi,Yes ,No you cant. In that case your operation would get unscheduled as it require 2 people.Thanks and regardsSaman

Hi,

Thanks!

If we have an employee who is 50% in 2 labor classes, and the capacity of the labor class is calculated based on the employees in it.

If we plan that person for 100% in a one labor class, will it be reflected in the available capacity of the other labor class in that same period?
