 Type- Must be Global 

This first section pertains to the Schedule New Jobs screen, particularly the calendar on that screen that shows how much capacity is left available for each job type (i.e. Carpet or Vinyl) for each day in the next four or five weeks. 

The program calculates available capacity by subtracting the amount already scheduled for that day from the footage or yardage, or subtracting a crew based on the average number or feet or yards a crew of that job type can install.  The default must be set one way for the whole company.

Number of Crews Available

Choosing this option displays the capacity left available for scheduling in "Crews."  If the average yardage for a carpet crew in the system setup is 125 SY, it will subtract 1 Crew for each 125 SY, regardless of how many crews are assigned to the job.  It will subtract .8 crews for 100 SY in this example, and so on.

Quantity Available

This option displays the number of feet, yards, hours, or "each" available in that job type for a certain day.  This is a good choice if the capacities of each crew vary a lot, as the actual yardage available on a day will give more information than the number of crews.

The Capacity Settings Options determine how installation depot capacities are viewed  and calculated. The capacities for each crew will be set in the crew set up.  Capacities are the totals of materials or jobs which can be completed in a day.
