Use this activity to schedule an Unscheduled resource break. Scheduling of a resource break can only be done using Advanced Planning Board. The status of the break changes to Scheduled. A Scheduled break is taken into account when orders are scheduled using Constraint Based Scheduling (CBS), Advanced Planning Board, not when using the Shop Order Infinite Scheduler.
As a result of this activity the state of the resource break changes to Scheduled. However, before it makes this change, the system checks to see if the break overlaps with any operations or breaks which are in Released state. If it does, an error message appears and the activity is canceled. If the break does not overlap with any operations or breaks which are in Released state, then all operations that are simultaneous with and downstream from the start of the break are rescheduled.
