  Key Concepts: 
  Free capacity is a term used in SAP's Project and Portfolio Management (PPM) module. It refers to the amount of time a resource has available to work on tasks or projects. This capacity is determined by subtracting the resource's current workload from their total capacity. 
  
  How to use it: 
  In order to use free capacity, you must first set up the resource's total capacity in the Resource Management module. This can be done by entering the resource's total hours per day, week, or month. Once this is done, you can then subtract the resource's current workload from their total capacity to determine their free capacity. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  It is important to keep track of your resources' free capacity in order to ensure that they are not overworked and that tasks are completed on time. Additionally, it is important to monitor free capacity in order to identify potential bottlenecks and plan accordingly.
