Field help (MFGSTRDAT4)

This field identifies the planned production start date for this work order. The date is determined by the Scheduling mode:

• 'Forward' scheduling respects this date. You can change this date if your objectives or production start date for this work order have changed.
• 'Backward' scheduling respects the defined End date. The system calculates the date from the production lead time, reduction factor and economic quantity defined on the product-site record. It will adjust this date accordingly if you change the Start date.

 You cannot change this date if you use Production Scheduler, that is Activity code POPS-Production Scheduler is 'Active', if the operations on this work order have been optimized by the scheduler.

 Production Scheduler only applies to on-premises instances of Enterprise Management.
