In this work step you define the time scale profile. A time scale profile describes the properties of all possible scales using headings for the time axis (day scale, week scale etc.).

The time fence is derived from the possible scales.

Depending on the current scale the time scale is generated from one or more scales.

There are scales with the following headings:

  • Yearly split
  • Quarterly split
  • Monthly split
  • Weekly split
  • Daily split
  • Hourly split
  • Minute split
  • Shift split

    To show the shift scale you have to select a capacity in the capacity planning table whose shift calendar determines the shift split. It you set the indicator Show shift then the shift calendar for the first capacity is displayed automatically in the capacity planning table.

For every period pattern you have to define the following:

  • Minimum scale

    By defining a minimum scale for every period split enter the minimum limit above which a scale for this period split is displayed.

    Example

    The scale for the daily period split should exceed 5 mm/day, otherwise the texts for the headings (e.g. Monday, Tuesday...) cover one another.

  • Maximum scale

    When defining a maximum scale for every period pattern you should enter the upper limit up to which a scale should be displayed for this period pattern.

    Example

    The scale for the daily period split should be less that 350 mm, otherwise the display for the day is so wide that the heading often lies outside the section that is visible.

  • Color category

    You use the color category to define the background color of a split.

  • Color category of time fence for split

    For the time fence that belongs to the shift split two color categories must be defined: for the line with the capacity, whose shift calendar is displayed and for the rest of the lines in the chart.

  • Major interval

    Here you can define the heading frequency. For example, every 8 hours => 0 hours, 8 hours, 16 hours, 0 hours, etc.

  • Heading type

    For example, you can define January, February or January 1995, February 1995 as the heading.

Note

  • By defining the scale as a unit of time the scales of all the period patterns are in a fixed relation to one another.

    Example

    With 5 mm/day, a week is displayed over 35 mm.

  • You can allocate each chart its own time scale profile in order to get a chart-specific heading.
  • In the chart type you can switch off the display of the time axis for a chart. Then the entries for the time axis in this chart are not active.

Example

The scale was defined as 40 mm per day. This corresponds to 280mm per week.

In the time scale profile there is an area of 20-200 mm for the daily split and 50-500 mm for the weekly split.

In this case there is both a daily and a weekly split heading for the time axis.

Standard settings

Time scale profiles are predefined in the standard SAP package.

Recommendation

You should use the standard settings. Do not change them.

Activities

If necessary, you can define your own time profiles.

Further notes

You can get additional information in the work step "Define scale for time axis".
