Prioritize Operations within Work Center

Before you start

Before you begin, the work orders must exist in 'Work Order. Open' (MOS100).

Follow these steps

1. Select 'Work Schedule. Open Toolbox' (MOS195/B).
2. To prioritize on a single level (schedule number), select sorting order 3. To prioritize on two levels (schedule number and schedule sequence), select sorting order 2.
3. Specify the priority (sequence) in which the different operations are to be performed. If a schedule number is not specified for an operation, it is assigned number 00. These will then be sequenced before the operations that are assigned a schedule number. See example below.
4. Confirm the entries.
5. Press F5=Refresh to check that the changes have been made.

Example

The table below represents a simple work center schedule before operations have been prioritized using sorting order 3.

Sched. No.	Start Date	Product	WO
	971122	B777	11
30	971129	C5331	21
20	971129	B7771-2	31
10	971130	V231-212	33
40	971130	B777-1	34

Once the above prioritization has been performed, the work center schedule displays as below.

Sched. No.	Start Date	Product	WO
	971122	B777	11
10	971130	V231-212	33
20	971129	B7771-2	31
30	971129	C5331	21
40	971130	B777-1	34

The actual order in which operations are displayed is determined by the sorting order in the view. The above example assumes a view with sorting based on the schedule number.
