Batch Summary

This form displays a summary of batch activity during the Scheduling run. For each batch, the header fields include the batch ID, the batch definition and description, the time when the batch was formed, the time when the batch finished processing through its routing, and the alternative database used.

These times are important for processes that must start the batch operation within a certain time frame or that must be completed within time limits. For example, some heat-treating operations must finish within a certain amount of time after the start time, or the integrity of the steel is compromised.

The grid lists each job and/or production schedule contained in the batch by demand type and demand ID, and it shows the time that the job started waiting and how long it waited until the batch was formed.

You can filter the form using the Batch ID or Batch Definition fields.
