Define Production Schedule by Part Manually

Explanation

Use this function to create a new production schedule for a specific part. You can create a complete set of schedule records for a part, or just enter a new schedule record in an existing production schedule.

Line schedules are normally generated via Master Scheduling or MRP, but you also have the possibility to change them manually. You can create schedule quantities beyond the schedule horizon or any point within the schedule or firm horizons. Schedules created beyond the schedule horizon will, however, be removed in the next schedule iteration if they do not fall within the firm horizon. You might also want to change the time information to the due dates coming from Master Scheduling and MRP to more distinctly identify the production schedule. You can also choose to break down a single schedule quantity for a due date into multiple records, each with a distinct time.

Prerequisites

A production line with an assigned line calendar must be defined. The part must be defined for the production line before a production schedule can be created. The part must have schedule horizons defined. The part must be of one of the following part types: Manufactured, Manufactured Recipe, Purchased, or Expense. 

System Effects
