• Key Concepts: 
  Capacity Load is a feature of the SAP Supply and Demand Matching (SDM) component of the Advanced Planning and Scheduling (AP-SDM) module. It allows users to view the capacity load of a given resource or process in order to better plan and manage production. Capacity Load is calculated by taking into account the planned and actual production times, as well as any other factors that may affect the capacity of a resource or process. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use Capacity Load, users must first define the resources or processes they wish to view. This can be done by creating a Capacity Load Profile in the SDM component. Once the profile is created, users can view the capacity load of each resource or process by selecting it from the Capacity Load Profile. The Capacity Load Profile also allows users to set up alerts for when a resource or process reaches its capacity limit. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When setting up a Capacity Load Profile, it is important to consider all factors that may affect the capacity of a resource or process. This includes planned and actual production times, as well as any other factors such as maintenance schedules, holidays, etc. Additionally, it is important to regularly review and update the Capacity Load Profile in order to ensure that it accurately reflects the current capacity of each resource or process.
