| Build Utilization (tisfc0201m000) |  |
| Use this session to update the calculations of how much you have planned to use machines and work centers, for a selection of variables. For the selection that you make, the utilization data is deleted and is regenerated using the production quantity and date data in the Production Planning (tisfc0110m000) session. You can globally update the capacity utilization data by choosing a command from the appropriate menu of the Utilization by Week (tisfc1502m000) or Utilization by Day (tisfc1503m000) sessions. That has the same effect as running this session with the maximum range selected in the Selection Range fields. If you select a limited range of values to build utilization for in this session, it is faster and you will avoid affecting the data of your colleagues. Parameters This session is only useful if you have selected Manual in the Update Method Week Utilization field in the Shop Floor Control Parameters (tisfc0100s000) session. If you want to calculate capacity utilization by day, you must also select Manual in the in the Update Method Day Utilization field in the Shop Floor Control Parameters (tisfc0100s000) session. You can also use this session if you select Automatic in the above mentioned field(s) in the Shop Floor Control Parameters (tisfc0100s000) session. You must then select the Regenerative Run check box in the current session. ERP LN will recalculate the capacity utilization by deleting all existing data and recalculating all the data. Time frame You can enter the time period for which you want to calculate capacity utilization, either by entering the week number, or the date. If you change the week number, the date will automatically be changed, and vice versa. The week number is week of the year, where week one is the first week of the year containing at least four days, assuming that Monday is the first day of the week.

Fields | Description
Selection Order | This field is used to choose the most efficient method to calculate capacity utilization. For example, if you have selected a limited range of work centers to rebuild utilization for, you should select Work Center. If you enter the same value in the From and To fields of any of the selection ranges, ERP LN will select that range in this field, and this field is unavailable.
Regenerative Run | If this check box is selected, ERP LN recalculates the capacity utilization by deleting the existing data for the selected range and recalculating the data. If you have selected Automatic in either the Update Method Week Utilization field or in the in the Update Method Day Utilization field in the Shop Floor Control Parameters (tisfc0100s000) session, ERP LN calculates the utilization until the end of the period. If this check box is cleared, ERP LN only recalculates the capacity utilization for work centers and machines for which you have changed the planning of orders. ERP LN will only do this if you have selected Manual in either the Update Method Week Utilization field or in the in the Update Method Day Utilization field in the Shop Floor Control Parameters (tisfc0100s000) session.
