• Key Concepts: 
  Capacity Load Planning View is a component of SAP's Supply and Demand Matching (SDM) module in the Advanced Planning and Scheduling (AP) suite. It provides a graphical view of the capacity load of a production facility, allowing users to quickly identify potential bottlenecks and plan accordingly. The view also allows users to compare planned and actual capacity loads, as well as to analyze the impact of changes in production plans. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use the Capacity Load Planning View, users must first define the production facility and its associated resources. This includes defining the production lines, machines, and personnel that will be used in the facility. Once this is done, users can then enter their planned production orders into the system. The Capacity Load Planning View will then display a graphical representation of the planned capacity load for each resource in the facility. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When using the Capacity Load Planning View, it is important to remember that it only displays planned capacity loads. To get an accurate picture of actual capacity loads, users should also take into account any changes that have been made to production plans since they were entered into the system. Additionally, users should be aware that the view does not take into account any external factors that may affect capacity loads, such as weather or other external events.
