Resource/Resource Group Dispatch List Report

Use this report to display the demand assignments for a resource (or for all resources in a group) in the sequence in which they should be performed on the shop floor. To specify that the Scheduling activity should capture this information, you must select the Schedule Data field on the Resources form for each resource you want to track.

Note:  If the Use Planning Output for Scheduling planning parameter is selected, this form displays the output from running APS Planning instead of the Scheduling activity.

For each demand the resource is working on within the specified range of dates, the report displays information such as:

  • Start and End date of the demand. If you changed the sequence of operations on the Resource Sequencing or Resource Group Sequencing forms, the start and end dates will not be accurate on this report.
  • Job Type (job, estimate, production schedule release, etc.).
  • Operation ID.
  • Job-Job Suffix (the ID of the demand and suffix, if defined).
  • Job status.
  • Load ID (this will usually be "1," unless you are using split or overlapping operations, in which case this field displays the ID of the load in which this portion of the job quantity resides).
  • Load quantity (the demand quantity or portion of the demand quantity, if the operation is split or overlapping).
  • Days Slack (Job's Projected Date - Job's End Date). The Job's End Date depends on the setting of the Use Scheduled Times in Planning field on the Planning Parameters form.  If that field is not selected, then job's end date is the End Date field from the Job Orders form. If the field is selected, the job's end date is the Job End Date calculated by the Scheduler, which is displayed on several forms such as Demand Summary - Scheduler.
  • Quantity at WC (quantity calculated from the values on the operation's Accumulated Values tab: Received - Scrapped - Moved).
  • Work center assigned to the previous operation and next operation.

You will usually generate this report after running the Scheduler for the day, and provide it to your shop floor for executing your schedule.
