Reading the help files, Fill Shop Capacity should be run on a schedule. If your resources dont change, why would you run it on a schedule? How do you run it for your shop? Since I am still toying around with it, I run it for 365 days and delete shop caps to always get new data. Do you ever enter more than 365 days here? Do you enter fewer days of capacity if you want it to complete faster? Why would you not delete shop caps?
Thanks!

I’m guessing you’re not getting into the weeds with schedule exceptions or shuffling resource calendars. In that case, by all means, run it infrequently.
Conceivably, I could run it once for 7 days and reuse that value in custom reporting.
I assume, by skipping delete existing cap, it will only calculate days not in your current dataset. It will skip processing existing stuff. That could save time if you have a lot of machines and a long time horizon. ShopCap can get pretty big. I’ve got hundreds of machines, each generating 365 rows per year. My ShopCap table is hundreds of thousands of rows.

If you have late jobs with load then the capacity can get odd if you always delete them.

Can you say more about this? I am not sure what you mean.
@gpayne , I believe that the system will only delete empty days (or delete all days and replace ones that have load). I had seen a good article on it somewhere, thought it was a KB. If I find it, I will post it.
It’s actually on this site.
I only know I had a user delete all and caused me a lot of issues, but that was in 10.2.400
