How do you calculate the operational time of a capacity from standard availability?
From the specification on...

x Start of work and end of work of a shift
x Duration of breaks
x Utilization rate of the capacity
x From the number of the individual capacities the capacity consists of

...the system calculates the operational time as well as the daily available capacity at a work center in the chosen basic quantity unit.

Which purpose are "availability intervals" maintained for?
In the case of a deviation from the standard availability you may specify temporally, variable, available capacity with any units of quantity and availability intervals of different versions.
For these temporally limited available capacities you can specify availability intervals.
By maintaining the validity of the availability interval the present availability intervals will be erased or limited.

What is the difference between standard routing and reference operation set?
A standard routing defines the process sequence for the production of a material. In contrast to reference operation sets, standard routings are assigned to a material.

A reference operation set simplifies the maintenance efforts by describing frequently repeated operations of a manufacturing process.
In the form of a reference or a template, the reference operation set is integrated into the standard routing as a part of it.

SAP displays a standardized organisational structure. Please name the organisational levels in reasonable order and write a short explanation of the mentioned organisational levels.
First level
Client. Stored data is valid for the whole corporate group.

Second level
Company Codes. Stored data is valid for only one company and its plants and storage locations.

Third Level
Plants. Views like MRP, Forecast and Purchase are only accessable on Plants-Level and are therefore only valid for this plant and its Storage Locations.

Fourth Level
Storage Locations. Data stored on this level shows where the different materials are stored.

MRP department
Exploding time-phased BOMs to calculate cost effective order quantities.
Work scheduling department
A BOM as basis for operation and production planning.
Production order management department
Planning the provision of materials.
