Scheduling production online

  1. Select Lists > Warehouse Schedule Planning Report.
  2. Specify this information:
    Company
    Select a company.
    Location
    Select a valid stock location. It is also the production facility where finished goods are produced for work orders.
    Item
    Select the finished good for which you want to schedule production.
    Period End Dates
    These date fields are used to establish flexible time fences to group demand records together. Each period date indicates the end of that period.

    Select a date in the Period 1 field to show the unscheduled demand after the date in the Previous field and up to the date in this field. The date that is selected in the Period 2 field shows unscheduled demand from the dates following Period 1 to the end date in Period 2.

    Date Used
    Select whether to show demand based on the Date Needed or the Production Start Date. If you select Production Start Date, the production lead time is factored in for that finished good as defined in Inventory Control.
    Document Demand View
    Select how to display the document demand during the scheduling process.

    Select Summary to display summary lines by period for orders and for requisitions. This option also consolidates demand from multiple demand sources onto one work order.

    Select Detail to list orders and requisitions separately. Forecast demand is always summarized. This option also separates demand onto individual work orders.
