Click Production control > Periodic > Scheduling > Operations scheduling. Click the Default values button.
Use this form to set up standard values for operations scheduling, which is used for long-term scheduling of capacity. Because the values in this form are used to run a new schedule, they should contain the parameters you that you use most often.
Navigating the form
The following tables provide descriptions for the controls in this form.
Fields
Field |
Description |
---|---|
Scheduling direction |
Specify the scheduling direction for the production order. The following options are available:
|
Scheduling date |
The date used for the Forward from scheduling date and Backward from scheduling date scheduling directions. Scheduling is backward or forward from this date. For more information, see Scheduling direction. |
Cancel queue time |
Select this check box to exclude queue time from the scheduling. |
Cancel setup |
Select this check box to exclude setup time from the scheduling. |
Cancel process |
Select this check box to exclude run time from the schduling. |
Cancel overlap |
Select this check box to exclude overlap time from the scheduling. |
Cancel transport |
Select this check box to exclude transit time from the scheduling. |
Schedule references |
Select this check box if you want to schedule reference or subproductions based on the main production. In relation to the main production, overlying productions are scheduled forward, and the underlying productions are scheduled backward. Production order references can be viewed in the Reference level field in the Production orders form. |
Synchronize references |
Select this check box if you want to schedule reference productions based on the selected production's starting and ending times. You can only select this check box only if the Schedule references check box is also selected. |
Finite capacity |
Select this check box if you want scheduling to consider capacity limitations. |
Finite material |
Select this check box if you want materials to be considered limited during scheduling. If the materials are limited, the material's coverage for that time will be considered. In other words, scheduling considers the futures dates that are calculated for the items. Scheduling reserves raw materials and explodes the current production. If scheduling occurs several times, only the first scheduling will run an explosion and make reservations. If you make changes in the production BOM or route, the next scheduling will run an explosion. The explosion assumes that the materials are needed the same day. Because the production is not scheduled at the time of the master schedule explosion, the current date is the best estimate of when the items will be available. The explosion then checks whether the items are available. If the items are available, fulfilling the production requirement is possible. If the items are not available by the current date, a planned order will be generated and an offset selection made for the planned order. If automatic-firming is set for the planned order, the planned order will be firmed automatically for purchase or production. The production status will automatically change to the status specified in the Requested production status field in the Coverage groups dialog box. If the check box is cleared, the materials are always considered as available. Therefore, scheduling does not consider whether the materials are available at the time of requirement. |
Keep production unit |
During operations scheduling, only resources that are assigned to the selected production unit are used. |
Keep warehouse from resource |
During operations scheduling, only resources that are assigned to the selected input warehouse are used. |
