Use this activity to schedule an Unscheduled work order resource break. The status of the break changes to Scheduled. If a Resource break is connected with resources and if the status is Unscheduled in the database, then it represent as Resource Assigned inside the MPB. If there are no resources connected, then it indicates as Incomplete inside the MPB. Further resource breaks are possible to schedule only inside MPB and once scheduled, the status becomes Firm Planned. Firm planned resource break are having the status Scheduled inside the database.
As a result of this activity the state of the resource break changes to Firm Planned. However, before it makes this change, the system checks to see if the break overlaps with any work task/work list or breaks which are in Released state. If it does, an error message appears and the activity is cancelled. If the break does not overlap with any work task/work lists or breaks which are in Released state, then all work task/work lists that are simultaneous with and downstream from the start of the break are rescheduled.
