Post Capacities

In the capacity journal, you post consumed capacities that are not assigned to the production order. For example, maintenance work must be assigned to capacity, but not to a production order.

1. Choose the icon, enter Capacity Journals, and then choose the related link.

2. Fill in the Posting Date and Document No. fields.

3. In the Type field, enter the type of the capacity, either Machine Center or Work Center, that you are posting.

4. In the No. field, enter the number of the machine center or work center.

5. Enter the relevant data in the other fields, such as Starting Time, Ending Time, Quantity, and Scrap.

6. Choose the Post action to post the capacities.

   Tip

   To avoid mistakes, use the Preview Posting action to review the entries that posting will create.
