-
Schedule and Create Load for Interim Order Operations
- If this option is enabled, capability check created interim order operations are scheduled in a similar
way as shop order operations. Machine and labor load is created for the operations and can be viewed as
Promise Shop Order load in Machine Load Details and
Labor Load Details pages or Promised Order load in
Visual Capacity Requirements Planning page. If the work center and/or labor class
of the operation has Finite Capacity enabled, operations are scheduled according to the
remaining capacity for each day after subtracting already existing load.
- If this option is disabled, interim order operations are not scheduled, instead the interim order is
roughly scheduled using only fixed and variable lead-time for the part.
- Load Sources to Consider in Finite Loading. Select the types of workload that should be
considered when interim order operations originating from a capability check are scheduled on finite work centers
and/or labor classes. I.e., the logic will deduct load from the selected sources from the available capacity and
schedule the interim order operation only according to the remaining capacity on a given day.
