Simulate Scheduling Operations, Orders or Order Structures Using Drag-and-Drop or Insert

Explanation

This activity is used to manually simulate operations using the drag-and-drop or insert functions. This will not affect the actual schedules as simulated results is not saved back to the database. Simulation is only for analytical purposes. Planners can run what if type analysis by creating scheduling objects inside Advanced Planning Board simulation mode or in  Maintenance Planning Board simulation mode. It is possible to create any Master Data or Activity Data in simulation mode also for simulation purposes.

 

Prerequisites

To run simulations using Advanced Planning Board,  it should be in simulation mode.Use File/Set Application Run Mode/Switch to Simulation Mode to switch to simulation mode.

System Effects

As a result of this activity the system simulates operations. Simulated results can be saved back to files ( *.fsi or .*fsw ) for later simulation work. Snapshots can be taken for performing comparative analysis before and after scheduling.
