Reallocate

This field applies to the Scheduler only.

When a load of items on a job is being processed, it usually completes an operation and moves on to the next one in the routing. However, three situations can interrupt the load from being processed:

• End of a shift
• Start of a shift exception
• Start of a holiday period

Select the Reallocate field to specify that the Scheduler will allocate another resource from the resource group if a load loses the original allocation due to an interruption. You will usually enable the Reallocate field for groups that contain labor resource types working on different shifts, but not for machine resource types.

See Handling Resource Reallocation During Interruptions for more information.
