  Key Concepts: 
  Individual capacity is a term used in SAP Production Planning and Control (PP) to refer to the capacity of a single resource or work center. It is used to determine the amount of time it will take to complete a production order or task. It is also used to calculate the total capacity of a work center, which is the sum of all individual capacities. 
  
  How to use it: 
  In SAP PP, individual capacity can be set up in the Capacity Requirements Planning (CRP) module. This module allows users to define the individual capacities for each resource or work center. The individual capacities are then used to calculate the total capacity of the work center, which is used to determine how long it will take to complete a production order or task. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When setting up individual capacities in SAP PP, it is important to ensure that they are accurate and up-to-date. This will ensure that the total capacity of the work center is accurate and that production orders and tasks can be completed in a timely manner.
