Scheduling production online

Company

Select a company.

Location

Select a valid stock location. This location is the production facility in which finished goods are produced for work orders.

Item

Select the finished good for which to schedule production.

Each period date indicates the end of that period. For example, select a date in the Period 1 field to show the unscheduled demand of goods after the date in the Previous field and before the date in this field. The date in the Period 2 field shows unscheduled demand from the dates after 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 to use the Production Start Date, the production lead time is factored in for that finished good. This date is defined in the Inventory Control application.

Document Demand View

Select how the document demand is displayed during the scheduling process.

Select Summary to show summary lines by period for orders and for requisitions. When this value is selected, the demand from multiple sources are consolidated onto one work order.

Select Detail to show orders and requisitions separately. Forecast demand is always summarized. When this value is selected, the demand is separated onto individual work orders.
