Scheduling

• Production site (field MFGFCY)

The production site associated with the user is proposed by default. It can be modified by another site authorized for the operator, depending on its authorizations.

• Automatic reschedule of arrears (field AUTFRWSCD)

This setup makes it possible to define a default behavior
for the scheduling engine in the automatic processings in
the case where an upstream scheduling request takes place in the past.

If this setup is active, downstream scheduling from today's
date is systematically carried out.

• Resetting the forced dates in the past (field AUTFRCSCD)

• Reset the dates for the materials under process (field AUTWIPSCD)

If this setup is active, the dates of the material requirement being consumed can be re-adjusted by the scheduling.

• Day periods (field WKLDAYNBR)

These values represent the Groupings (days, weeks, months) of the horizon over which the load will be scheduled. As is the case for the Groupings defined in the Requirements Parameters, these numbers should be interpreted as the number of daily periods, the number of weekly periods, and the number of monthly periods.

For example: a 30 day/4 week/12 month grouping will result in:

1 grouping per day for the first 30 days

1 grouping per week for the next four weeks (after the 30 days)

1 grouping per month for the next twelve months (after the 30 days and the four weeks)

The horizon defined in this way cannot exceed 2,000 days, and cannot have more than 1,000 periods over the horizon.

Note: It is advised to have the Groupings for the Requirements Parameters and the Scheduling Parameters set equal to one another, even though you might choose to define them independently.

• No. per. weeks (field WKLWEENBR)

• No. periods months (field WKLMONNBR)

• Automatic adjustment (field WKLBUCCOR)

Select this check box to adjust the schedule automatically to conform to the following rules:

• A week starts with the first working day: Monday in Europe (defined by the FIRWRKDAY - First work day of week parameter (STO chapter, SCH group)).
• A month starts on the first day of the month.

The following rules are applied:

• If a number of days and a number of weeks are defined, the number of days will be increased so the first week starts on a Monday (according to the FIRWRKDAY - First work day of week parameter).
• If a number of weeks and a number of months are defined, the number of weeks will be increased so the last month is complete.
• If a number of days, a number of weeks and a number of months are defined, the first two rules are applied sequentially.

For example:

• If the "days" period ends in the middle of the week, the system will add as many days as required so the next period starts on the first working day of the week.
• If the "weeks" period does not end at the end of the month, the system will add as many weeks and days as required so the next period can start on the first day of the following month.
