Manufacturing > Finite scheduler > Remove from scheduling 

Use this function to select one or a range of work orders at a specific status to remove from scheduling.

This function uses the generic Finite scheduler interface to connect to Sage X3 Web Scheduling or to any web scheduling solution developed by an ISV (independent software vendor) to remove work orders from the scheduling process.

Whilst a work order is being scheduled (has been submitted for scheduling) it remains at scheduling status Scheduled and work order status Being optimized. At these statuses you cannot modify the work order. When you remove a work order from the scheduling process the work order changes to the status it was at prior to scheduling, that is, Pending or In progress status. You can then modify the work order and resubmit it for scheduling if necessary.

 You can remove a single work order from the web scheduling solution directly from the Work order function (GESMFG) using the Remove from scheduling action.

 You must remove a work order from scheduling (deschedule) if you need to modify an operation.

    Screen management

    The Remove from scheduling function contains a single screen into which you enter your work order selection criteria.

    Selection criteria

    Use this section to define the production site at which work orders are to be removed from the scheduling process.

    Start - end range

    Use this section to define the selection ranges to be used for filtering the results of the search.

    Fields

    The following fields are present on this tab :

    Selection criteria

    Type in or select the production site from which the work orders are to be selected. This field is mandatory.

    Start - end range

    Filter for results within a range of work orders. For a single work order, enter the same work order number in the from/start Work order and to/end Work order fields.

    Filter for results within a range of project/project task codes. For a single project/project task, enter the same project/project task code in the from/start Project and to/end Project fields.

    If the content of this field includes a character such as an exclamation mark "!" this field links to the structure of the project. The character is the separator between a project code and the project operational (task) structure. For example, if a material task code is "USA-P3" and a project code is "USA12345678", this field displays a link to the project operational structure as "USA12345678!USA-P3".

     To provide a quick and easy visual reference the link to the project or project structure is distinguishable by the number of separator characters used. If there are no separator characters, the link is to the project; a single separator character such as an exclamation mark after the project code (the first code) indicates the link type is a task (the link is to the project operational structure).

    • Destination (field BPCNUMDEB)

    Filter for results within a range of "ship-to" customers and/or sites. For a single customer or site, enter the same code in the from/start Destination and to/end Destination fields.

    • Order no. (field VCRNUMDEB)

    Filter for results within a range of source sales orders. For a single sales order, enter the same code in the from/start Order no. (Order number) and to/end Order no. fields.

    Filter for results within a range of finished products (BOMs). For a single bill of materials (BOM), enter the same product code in the from/start Released product and to/end Released product fields.

    • Start date (field STRDATDEB)

    Filter for results within a range of dates. For a single day, enter the same date in the Start date and End date fields. You can leave the Start date field blank to search all records to date.

    Filters

    • Work orders suggested (field WOSFLG)

    Select this check box if work order suggestions are to be processed. If work order suggestions are to be excluded from the run, leave this check box clear.

    • Planned work orders (field WOPFLG)

    Select this check box if planned work orders are to be processed. If planned work orders are to be excluded from the run, leave this check box clear.

    • Firm work orders (field WOFFLG)

    Select this check box if firm work orders are to be processed. If firm work orders are to be excluded from the run, leave this check box clear.

    • Optimized orders (field OPTFLG)

    Select this check box if work orders optimized for scheduling are to be processed. If optimized work orders are to be excluded from the run, leave this check box clear.

    • Orders being optimized (field BOPTFLG)

    Select this check box if work orders currently being optimized are to be processed. These are work orders that have been submitted for scheduling but have not yet been scheduled. If work orders being optimized are to be excluded from the run, leave this check box clear.
