In this step you find instructions for changing the color of graphical objects on the planning table. This is status-dependent.

Graphical objects represent capacity requirements. For every graphical object there are one or more representations. A representation is the graphical depiction of a graphical object and is made up of several graphical elements.

Example

For example, you can represent a released order on the planning table in another color. In this way you get a better overview of the planning table.

Activities

To change the color, depending on the status, you have to make several settings in Customizing:

1. Analysis of profile used

2. Define graphical object selection

3. Define graphical representation

4. Select graphical element

5. Change graphical object representation

6. Extend graphical object selection

For 1:

Before you change a graphical object you have to define which profiles and which representations are affected.

Proceed as follows:

  • Call up the planning table.
  • Note the following profiles on the planning table:
    • Overall profile
    • Profile for the planning table
  • In Customizing for capacity planning choose: Capacity leveling -> Capacity planning table -> Define profile for capacity planning table. Make a note of the following profiles:
    • Graphical object type selection (diagram section)
    • Representation profile (diagram section)
    • Group (Graphical profile)
    • Name (Graphical profile)
  • In Customizing for capacity planning choose: Capacity leveling -> Technical settings -> Capacity planning table -> Graphics -> Define graphics profile. Select the appropriate group and make a note of the following settings:
    • Graphical element group
    • Color group

For 2:

In this step you specify which graphical object type you want to change.You do this using a decision table.

  • In Customizing for capacity planning choose: Capacity leveling -> Technical settings -> Capacity planning table -> Define graphical object type selection.
  • Select the graphical object selection that you made a note of when analysing the profile.
  • Navigate to decision steps.
  • Analyse the decision table and make a note of the graphical object type that you want to change. By double-clicking on the appropriate line you go one level deeper.

You now know the graphical object type that you want to change.

For 3:

Several representations belong to a graphical object. In this step you specify which of the graphical object´s representations gets changed. Here too the change takes place using a decision table. Proceed as follows:

  • In Customizing for capacity planning choose: Capacity leveling -> Technical settings -> Capacity planning table -> Define graphical object.
  • Choose the appropriate graphical object type from the table.
  • Navigate Object representation selection and Decision steps. Choose the object representation that you want to change.

Now you know the graphical object type and the represenation selection that you want to change.

For 4:

To display the graphical object in another color, you have to change thegraphical element type. To do this you must establish which element types are used in the representation you have chosen, that means, what color they represent. Then you have to specify which element type is to be replaced. Proceed as follows:

  • In Customizing for capacity planning choose: Capacity leveling -> Technical settings -> Graphical planning table -> Define graphical object.
  • Select the appropriate graphical object type and navigate to fields. The meaning of the indexes is given in the table.
  • Make a note of the meaning of the indexes for which you want to change the display.
  • Go back to the object representation and choose graphical element type. All the graphical element types belonging to the object representation are given in the table.

You now know the graphical element types that are assigned to the object representation and know what the indexes mean. Now you need to specify with which graphical elements you want to replace the previous ones.

  • In Customizing for capacity planning choose: Capacity leveling -> Technical settings -> Capacity planning table -> Graphics -> Define graphical element.
  • Place the cursor on the group that you have saved in the graphics profile.
  • Find the element types used until now and choose the new ones. Make sure that the indexes match up with one another.

For 5:

In this step you create (by copying) a new graphical object type and a new object representation. When doing this change the graphical element types according to your selection in step 4.

  • In Customizing for capacity planning choose: Capacity leveling -> Technical settings -> Capacity planning table -> Define graphical object and select the graphical object type you have selected.
  • Choose Edit -> Copy as.... Also copy all the dependent entries.
  • Save the new graphical object type.
  • Select the graphical object type you have just created and choose object representation.
  • Choose Edit -> Copy as.... Copy all the dependent entries.
  • Save the new object representation.
  • Select the object representation that has been created and choose Edit -> New entries.
  • Enter the graphical element type you have chosen and confirm your entries with Enter.
  • Choose the graphical element type that you want to replace and select Edit -> Delete.
  • Save your entries.

You have created a new object representation with different graphical element types.

For 6:

You have now created a new object representation of a graphical object. You now have to place a query in the decision table so that the new object representation is displayed under the new conditions. Proceed as follows:

  • In Customizing for capacity planning choose: Capacity leveling -> Technical settings -> Capacity planning table -> Define graphical object.
  • Select the "new" graphical object and navigate to Object representation selection.
  • Make the appropriate selection and choose decision steps.
  • Choose Edit -> New entries.
  • Enter a selection profile and a comparison value. For the object representation enter the one you created so that it is displayed under the given conditions.
