View Scheduled Plan

Explanation

This activity is used to view the scheduled plan for a work task. Once the work task activities which are transferred to the Scheduling Engine are scheduled, an allocation plan is returned to IFS Cloud. If the suggested plan is suitable you can assign the work task activity to the suggested resource who is to execute the work. If the suggested plan does not meet the requirements, you can choose to wait for the next broadcast of the plan or manually change the plan in the Scheduling Workbench. Note: If scheduling is done in the Schedule Dispatch Service (SDS), the allocated work task activities will be assigned (or unassigned) automatically to the resources suggested by the SDS based on the given scheduling rules. Therefore, the work tasks that are scheduled by the SDS will be returned in the Assigned status and a work assignment will be created and assigned to the suggested resource.

The scheduled plan will include the following data as received from the Scheduling Engine:

• The Activity Identification from scheduling.
• The identification of the dataset and the dataset description.
• The identification of the the scheduled plan.
• The date for when the scheduled plan was sent from scheduling.
• The suggested start and end dates for the work task activities (referred to as activity in PSO).
• Whether the work task activity is fixed to the given start date and time.
• The duration (in hours) of the work task activity. 
• The identity of the resource who is to execute the work, if this resource is set as a fixed resource for the work task resource demand. When a work task activity is transferred with a work assignment already created, this resource is transferred as committed to the Scheduling Engine.
• The identity of the resource who is suggested to be allocated to the work task.
• The status of the scheduled work task activity.
• The scheduling base value.
• The primary scheduling type that is assigned to the work task.
• The earliest time and/or the latest time the work task can be scheduled to start in order to meet the requirements of the primary scheduling type.
• The secondary scheduling type that is assigned to the work task.
• The earliest time and/or the latest time the work task can be scheduled to start in order to meet the requirements of the secondary scheduling type.

Prerequisites

To perform this activity, the work task must have been scheduled in the Scheduling Engine and an allocation plan must have been returned for it. If the work task could not be scheduled, an allocation will not be returned and the scheduling status will be set to Unallocated.

System Effects

As a result of this activity, the scheduled plans are examined and work assignments can be created for the work tasks, if applicable.
