Field help (MFGSCDMOD)

Use this field to define the scheduling method for this work order. Select one of the following:

• Backward. With 'backward', or upstream scheduling the system calculates the production start date (field Start date) from the end or required completion date (field End date).
• Forward. With 'forward', or downstream scheduling the system calculates the required completion date (field End date) from the defined production start date (field Start date).

These calculations rely on the production lead time, reduction factor and economic quantity defined on the product-site record.

The transaction you select determines if this field is available for entry.
