Use this activity to manully generate the Recurring Service Program Schedule using Generate Schedule command in the Recurring Service Program/Schedule tab.
When the Regenerate the Schedule badge appear on the program header a schedule regeneration is required. This is due to changes done in either Recurring Service Program parameters (Program Service Trigger, Program Valid From/To, change of applied Calendar) or Recurring Service Scope parameters (addition of a new service scope, Cycle Pattern, Occurrence Interval, Scope Valid From/To). Use the Generate Schedule command to regenerate the schedule.
When the Generate Schedule command is used the user is prompted to continue removing manual changes or not. Manual changes include change of Due Next date, Scedule Status or if one or more scopes has been added to a single Schedule Occurrence line and will be noted by the Manually Changed badge on the Schedule Occurrence line.
Note: For usage-based programs, Generate Schedule command will not prompt the user to continue removing manual changes or not. If the manual changes are to be removed from an Active program, user can either delete the manually added scope, set the status back to Generable from On Hold. When the user performs these actions, the Manually Changed badge will be removed. If the Manual changes are to be removed from a Preliminary program, user can use the Generate Schedule command and all manual changes will be removed.
The Generate Schedule command is used in usage-based programs to reflect the newly added recurring service scopes on program occurrences which are in status Generable or to generate the program occurrences at an event where the service triggers have been completely modified by the user in a Preliminary program.
As a result of this activity, the Recurring Service Program Schedule will be generated based on the Service Triggers and Recurring Service Scopes added to the Program.
The Recurring Service Scopes will be related to the Recurring Service Program Occurrences based on the respective recurring patterns defined for each scope.
The Recurring Service Scopes included in each Program Schedule Occurrence can be viewed by expanding respective schedule occurrence line.
When user accepts to regenerate a Preliminary Program Schedule, the schedule will be updated according to Service Triggers and Scope Parameters, thus no manual changes will be retained.
