Infor LX & BPCS Tip: Capacity Planning – Resource Requirements Reports

Resource Requirements Report (CAP260D) generates five capacity reports:

  • Labor Resource Requirements
  • Machine Resource Requirements
  • Setup Resource Requirements
  • Setup and Labor Requirements
  • Setup and Machine Requirements

The Labor Resource Requirement report lists requirements that are calculated from the run hours on each routing and the MRP/MPS demand in the Capacity Requirements Detail File (LCR). The calculation does not consider crew size.

The Machine Resource Requirement report lists machine hour requirements based on routings and the MRP/MPS demand in the Capacity Requirements Detail File (LCR).

The Setup Resource Requirements report lists setup labor requirements based on routings and the MRP/MPS demand in the Capacity Requirements Detail File (LCR).

The last two reports combine setup hours with labor hours and setup hours with machine hours to provide two separate reports that summarize the requirements by work center with totals by department. The system computes requirements similarly to the way it computes them on the other reports.

Have questions on this process or need some help? Contact us! Our experienced consultants will be glad to assist you.
