      <Paragraph>The additional capacity requirements for an item unit in a
		specific time period, is a value that ERP Enterprise uses to determine the remaining
		available capacity of a certain resource. This is one of the steps in the
		optimization algorithm for logistic parameters in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/cp/rao" role="module">Resource Analysis and Optimization</GUIRef> module of <GUIRef href="/baanerp/cp" role="package">Enterprise Planning</GUIRef>.</Paragraph>
      <Paragraph>The formula that ERP Enterprise uses to calculate the additional
		capacity requirements is:</Paragraph>
      <Formula space-and-orientation="indented-estimated">
         <Paragraph>ACR = (R * D) + (S * F)</Paragraph>
      </Formula>
      <Paragraph>Where:</Paragraph>

      <Paragraph>Suppose that we have the following data:</Paragraph>
      <TABLE border="1" borderstyle="default" space-and-orientation="indented-estimated">
         <TBODY noTR="4">
            <TR no="1" isLast="false">

               <TD rowspan="1" colspan="1">0.5 hour/piece</TD>
            </TR>
            <TR no="2" isLast="false">
               <TD rowspan="1" colspan="1">D:</TD>
               <TD rowspan="1" colspan="1">600 pieces</TD>
            </TR>
            <TR no="3" isLast="false">
               <TD rowspan="1" colspan="1">S:</TD>
               <TD rowspan="1" colspan="1">1 hour</TD>

               <TD rowspan="1" colspan="1">20</TD>
            </TR>
         </TBODY>
      </TABLE>
      <Paragraph>The calculation of the additional capacity requirements is
		then:</Paragraph>
      <Formula space-and-orientation="indented-estimated">
         <Paragraph>ACR = (R * D) + (S * F) = (0.5 * 600) + (1 * 20) = 300 + 20 =
		  320 </Paragraph>
      </Formula>
      <Paragraph>This means that the additional capacity requirements for all the
		items of the corresponding plan unit in the involved period is 320
		hours.</Paragraph>
