Manufacturing > Inquiries > Loads > Graphical loads 

The objective of this function is to make it possible to graphically display all the available load (order type OWx) for a given site.

The load represents the load generated during the creation of a work order (firm or planned) or generated during the launch of the MRP with load calculation. This load may be scheduled or not.

The non scheduled order load is displayed by operation start and end dates that correspond to the start and end dates of the work order.
