Hi jaisree

A Pool capacity is one with several individual capacities.

Pool capacity is created to maintain the constraint mapping in APO

For eg, if you say, if your total manpower capacity is 10 hours per day wherein the labour available hours is 8 hours, then obviously the capacity of the work center per day is only 8 hours and not 10 hours even though machine is ready for working, it produces a constraint of 2 hours for want of manpower.

If you are working with both labour capacity and machine capacity, it is pre-requisite that both the capacities needs to get translate into APO (whether PDS or PPM).

Hi Jaisree,

Single-activity resources can only be used by one operation, whereas with multi-activity-resources, several operations can be scheduled at the same time. In your scenario, since you are having more than one operations and if you select the Several Operations Check box in workcenter it will be using Multi activity resource.
