Manufacturing > Production Scheduler > Production Scheduler custom values 

Use this function to choose additional fields to be displayed in Production Scheduler (FUNPSSCH) for work orders at a specific production site.

Production Scheduler is only available for on-premises instances of Sage X3. If the POPS - Production Scheduler activity code is clear and the GFS - Finite scheduler activity code is selected you are using the generic Finite scheduler interface to Sage X3 Web Scheduling or to a web scheduling solution developed by an ISV (independent software vendor) for either cloud or on-premises solutions. You must use the Finite scheduler > Scheduler custom values function (GESGFSCV) instead of this function.

    Screen management

    The Production Scheduler custom values function contains a single screen into which you enter a production site and custom fields for displaying in Production scheduler.

    Entry screen

    Presentation

    Use this screen to choose additional fields for which you want values to be displayed in Production Scheduler for work orders at a specific production site.

    You choose the additional fields from a predefined list of fields.

    Fields

    The following fields are present on this tab :

    Block number 1

    Type in or select the production site for which the custom fields are to be displayed.

    General

    • Default (field DEFFLG)

    Select this check box to define the custom fields for this site as the default fields for all sites that do not have custom fields defined.

    • Work order custom field 1 (field WOCUSFLD1)

    Use this field to identify a specific field from the product to be released (BOM) to display in Production scheduler. The field you select will be displayed for all work orders being produced at this site. Values for the assigned custom field are displayed in the Production scheduler Indicators & Details panel and the Operation ScreenTips window.

    The list of fields available for selection is defined in Local menu 3502.

     Local menu 3502 - Production Scheduler WO fields: Do not amend or delete the existing values in this local menu. It is intrinsically linked to tables that provide the information for the associated field. If your organization requires additional custom fields you can add new codes and messages starting at value 10.

    • Operation custom field 1 (field OPCUSFLD1)

    Use this field to identify a specific work order operation field to display in Production scheduler. The field you select will be displayed for all work orders being produced at this site. Values for the assigned custom field are displayed in the Production scheduler Indicators & Details panel and the Operation ScreenTips window.

    The list of fields available for selection is defined in Local menu 3503.

     Local menu 3503 - Production Scheduler operation fields: Do not amend or delete the existing values in this local menu. It is intrinsically linked to tables that provide the information for the associated field. If your organization requires additional custom fields you can add new codes and messages starting at value 8.

    • Work order custom field 2 (field WOCUSFLD2)

    Use this field to identify a specific BOM field to display in Production scheduler. The selected field will be displayed for all work orders being produced at this site. Values for the assigned custom field are displayed in the Production scheduler Indicators & Details panel and the Operation ScreenTips window.

    The list of fields available for selection is defined in Local menu 3502.

     Do not amend or delete values 1-9 in Local menu 3502 - Production Scheduler WO fields. You can add new codes and messages starting at value 10.

    • Operation custom field 2 (field OPCUSFLD2)

    Use this field to identify a specific operation field to display in Production scheduler. The selected field will be displayed for all work orders being produced at this site. Values for the assigned custom field are displayed in the Production scheduler Indicators & Details panel and the Operation ScreenTips window.

    The list of fields available for selection is defined in Local menu 3503.

     Do not amend or delete values 1-7 in Local menu 3503 - Production Scheduler operation fields. You can add new codes and messages starting at value 8.

    Limitations

    • Production Scheduler displays the labels for all defined custom fields as Custom field. It is not currently possible to display the field label for the selected custom fields. The values for any defined custom fields are however correctly obtained using the formula defined for the field in the POPSCUSFLDS - Production Scheduler custom fields table.
    • The values displayed in Production Scheduler for any defined custom fields is not updated if the custom fields are changed. Values for new custom fields are only displayed for new or updated work orders. This can result in Production Scheduler displaying different custom field values for different work orders. To display the latest custom field values for all work orders you must reinitialize the site (using the Init. environments from MRP facility).

    Error messages

    In addition to the generic error messages, the following messages can appear during the entry :

    At least one site must be the default site

    You must select the Default check box for one site from the list of production sites that have custom fields defined. This ensures custom fields are displayed in Production Scheduler for sites that do not have custom fields defined.

    Both work order custom fields have the same value

    You have duplicated the work order fields. Please select different fields to display in Production Scheduler from the available list of released product (BOM) fields.

    Both operation custom fields have the same value

    You have duplicated the work order operation fields. Please select different fields to display in Production Scheduler from the available list of work order operation fields.

    Project management not active. Please choose another custom field.

    You have selected to display a project/project task code however Project management (PJM - Project management activity code) is not currently active on your system.
