The system displays the following in the “Capacity Details” multiline:

Resource No.	The id identifying the resource. If the planning group/item variant is specified, the system retrieves the resources from Bill of Resources of the “Process Model“ business component. If the planning group/item is not specified, then the system retrieves the resource details from bill of resources of those items for the selected material or production planner. If the material or production planner is not selected, then the system retrieves the resources based on the Bill of Resources for all the MPS items for which the login user is the material/production planner.
Desc.	The description of the resource. The system retrieves the description for each resource whether under loaded or over loaded.
UOM	The production unit of measure of the item. The system also retrieves the UOM for each resource whether under loaded or over loaded.
Period	The period for which the resources are over loaded or under loaded. If the item is specified, then the system retrieves the MPS period defined for the item from “Item Administration” business component. If the planning group is specified, then the system retrieves the MPS period defined for the planning group from “Item Administration” business component. If the resource is specified, then the planning bucket of the resource is taken as the period. Otherwise, the system retrieves the default MPS period defined in the “Component Parameter” page. The system splits the From date and To date into equal number of intervals by the above retrieved MPS period. The system then retrieves the End date for each split intervals as period.

Note: The summing of data is based on these periods identified.

The system displays the following in the “Capacity Details” multiline:

% Under Load	The under load percentage of the resource. The percentage by which the resource is under loaded than the available capacity.
% Over Load	The over load percentage of the resource. The percentage by which the resource is over loaded than the available capacity.

Note: The system calculates the available capacity as (calendar event duration in hrs * bucket factor * resource capacity * resource efficiency) summed up for all the calendar events for the period.
