Days to Schedule

This field applies to the Scheduler only.

Enter a number of days to define the default length of the scheduling horizon. On the Scheduling form, the End Date of the scheduling horizon defaults to today + the Days to Schedule value.

This field is related to MRP and APS Horizons in that the scheduling horizon needs to be far enough into the future to include the end of your longest job. APS uses the Plan Horizon parameter, located on the Planning Parameters form, to define the time horizon for planning demands. To avoid problems with planning operations for partially scheduled jobs (that is, jobs with operations that have dates outside the Days to Schedule horizon), we suggest you set the Days to Schedule field to the same time value as the Plan Horizon.

If you are using MRP, set the Days to Schedule field to a value that is as far into the future as your longest job's processing time.
