Hello team IFS, 

I need your help.

What effect does the Utilization of Resource ID in Manufacturing Labor Class window have on the duration of the manufacturing time in the Advanced Planning Board for Shop Orders

Case 1:

The Utilization of the Resources ID of the Labor Class = 100%.

Available Capacity Labor Class = 100%.

Case 2:

The Utilization of the Resources ID of the Labor Class = 50%.

Available Capacity is divided by two.

After modifying the Utilization I recalculated Labor Capacity and reschedule the Shop Orders.

We can see that the manufacturing time of the order is not affected in the Advanced Planning Board while the Available Capacity of the Labor Class has been reduced by two and the Utilization keeps the same value of 100%.

Also, the Resource of the Labor Class starts a shop order and when the operation is finished it starts another shop order. Can we force it to stay on the same shop order ? 

Can you clarify this for me or could you provide me with some documentation that could help me in my planning ? 

Many Thanks
