	<GeneralSection><SectionTitle>Backgrounds on activities and network planning</SectionTitle>
		<Paragraph>In PCS, you can define <Link href="/baanerp/ti/glossary/glossary#ProjecActivi.ti" role="glossary">activities</Link>. An activity represents a stage in the execution of a project, for example, engineering, production, final assembly, or inspection. After defining activities, you must define activity relationships to indicate the dependencies between the activities. By means of the activities and the activity relationships, you can perform a network planning, which represents an overal planning of the PCS project.</Paragraph>
		<Paragraph>If you define an activity in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/ti/pcs/tipcs4101m000" role="session">Activities (tipcs4101m000)</GUIRef> session, you must enter a work center for the activity. Furthermore, you must enter the number of hours that represent the work center's rough capacity requirements. After you performed network planning, you can view the work center's capacity in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/cp/rrp/cprrp0530m000" role="session">Resource Order Plan (cprrp0530m000)</GUIRef> session, or the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/cp/rmp/cprmp3501m000" role="session">Resource Master Plan (cprmp3501m000)</GUIRef> session. The rough capacity requirements from the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/ti/pcs/tipcs4101m000" role="session">Activities (tipcs4101m000)</GUIRef> session is expressed by the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/cp/rmp/cprmp3501m000#cprmp101.capc" role="formfield">PCS Activities Capacity Use</GUIRef> field. By subtracting the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/cp/rmp/cprmp3501m000#cprmp101.capc" role="formfield">PCS Activities Capacity Use</GUIRef> from the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/cp/rmp/cprmp3501m000#cprmp101.cale" role="formfield">Available Capacity</GUIRef>, the work center's <GUIRef href="/baanerp/cp/rmp/cprmp3501m000#tot.free.cap" role="formfield">Free Capacity</GUIRef> is calculated.</Paragraph>
		<Paragraph>However, if an activity involves production, and consequently SFC production orders and/or planned production in <GUIRef href="/baanerp/cp" role="package">Enterprise Planning</GUIRef> are present, capacity on a work center is not only demanded by the activity but also by the production orders. If the work center on the production order(s) is the same as the work center defined on the activity, this can result in double consumption of work center capacity. In the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/cp/rrp/cprrp0530m000" role="session">Resource Order Plan (cprrp0530m000)</GUIRef> session or the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/cp/rmp/cprmp3501m000" role="session">Resource Master Plan (cprmp3501m000)</GUIRef> session you can view the required SFC capacity in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/cp/rmp/cprmp3501m000#cprmp101.casf" role="formfield">SFC Orders Capacity Use</GUIRef> field as well as the rough capacity in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/cp/rmp/cprmp3501m000#cprmp101.capc" role="formfield">PCS Activities Capacity Use</GUIRef> field. In case of double consumption, the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/cp/rmp/cprmp3501m000#cprmp101.cale" role="formfield">Available Capacity</GUIRef> of the work center is reduced by both the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/cp/rmp/cprmp3501m000#cprmp101.casf" role="formfield">SFC Orders Capacity Use</GUIRef> and the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/cp/rmp/cprmp3501m000#cprmp101.capc" role="formfield">PCS Activities Capacity Use</GUIRef>.</Paragraph>

		<Paragraph>Double consumption of work center capacity is not always desirable. Therefore, you can use the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/ti/rou/tirou0101m000#tirou001.upcs" role="formfield">Use Rough PCS Capacity Reguirement</GUIRef> check box in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/ti/rou/tirou0101m000" role="session">Work Centers (tirou0101m000)</GUIRef> session to prevent this:</Paragraph>
		<List><ListItem>If the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/ti/rou/tirou0101m000#tirou001.upcs" role="formfield">Use Rough PCS Capacity Reguirement</GUIRef> check box is selected, the PCS rough capacity, which is defined for activities in PCS, as well as the capacity required for SFC production orders and planned production orders in <GUIRef href="/baanerp/cp" role="package">Enterprise Planning</GUIRef> are subtracted from the work center's available capacity. In other words, double consumption of work center capacity occurs.</ListItem>
			<ListItem>If the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/ti/rou/tirou0101m000#tirou001.upcs" role="formfield">Use Rough PCS Capacity Reguirement</GUIRef> check box is cleared, the work center's available capacity is only consumed by the capacity that is required for the SFC production orders and the planned production orders in <GUIRef href="/baanerp/cp" role="package">Enterprise Planning</GUIRef>. The rough capacity requirements that are defined in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/ti/pcs/tipcs4101m000" role="session">Activities (tipcs4101m000)</GUIRef> session are not taken into account.</ListItem>
