Look Ahead

This field is used in conjunction with the Look Behind field to set a range of production schedule releases the system will consider when posting transactions. The value is the number of working days to look ahead from the current date. It can be set for each production schedule. If you leave the field blank, the system will use the value in the PS Look Ahead field on the Shop Floor Control Parameters form during transaction posting.

EXAMPLE: If you set the Look Ahead value to 0 and the Look Behind value to 5, the system would look for production schedule releases that fall within the last five working days time period when you reported transactions.
