Work Center capacity question

Hello, 

I am hoping to clarify my understanding of Work Center capacity. Currently, we setup all Work Centers as Infinite Capacity (on Sched Capacity). We run calculate capacity and the WC Capacity tab populates.

Given that the work center is defined as infinite capacity, does that mean the WC Capacity dates are not relevant to the Shop Order scheduling? 

As an example, one of our WCs calculated to 8/31/2023 on the WC Capacity tab, however, we are not having any issues with releasing Shop Orders against the WC beyond 8/31. My assumption is that this is due to the WC being defined as Infinite Capacity.

Actually, the shop order scheduling logic does not consider the calculated capacity. Instead it directly settles the capacity by looking at the calendar connected to the work center and the availability periods of the resource(s) defined for the work center.

The calculated capacity is mainly used in visual planning charts.
