Schedule Balanced Shop Orders
Explanation
To schedule the shop order succeeding the selected order, select a node, then click Schedule
Succeeding Shop Orders. Shop orders succeeding the order from which the activity is triggered will be
forward scheduled from the due date of the selected order.
Prerequisites
Supply order from where the activity is triggered should be balanced out to at least one shop order.
The shop order must have operation(s).
System Effects
-
Scheduling Direction for the parent shop orders to which the selected order has been balanced out to,
will be set to Forward Scheduling. The Earliest Start Date will be set to the same as the Due
Date of the supplying order.
- The due date of a shop order is the same as the working day after its finish date if Plan
Manufacturing Supply on Due Date is disabled for the part. If the setting is enabled, the due date
of a shop order is the same as its finish date.
- If both the parts of the supplying and succeeding shop orders have this setting enabled, the earliest
start date of the succeeding order will be set to the same date and time as the finish date and time of the
supplying shop order. I.e., the succeeding order is scheduled to start directly after the supplying order is
finished. Else, the earliest start date of the succeeding order will be set to the beginning of the due date
of the supplying shop order. I.e., the succeeding order is scheduled to start the first working time on the
supplying order due date.
- If the parent shop order has been balanced out to succeeding orders, the procedure will be repeated until all
succeeding orders have been scheduled.
