Using overlapping operations

The Scheduler can split a load of items into smaller loads and allow completed loads to proceed to an overlapping operation without waiting for the original load's quantity to be completed. This feature allows for parallel processing of the original load of items across multiple operations. For example, specify overlap hours on an operation to specify when to start the operation that follows the current one (for example, an Overlap Value of 0.5 means "start the next operation 30 minutes after this operation starts").

The JS19VR.OLTYPE and JS19VR.OLVALUE fields determine how the Scheduler calculates the load size and the start and end times for the resources. The sequencing of resources within the operations is recorded in the RESSCHD table.
