Product Machine Plan Import Interface

The Product Machine Plan Import Interface is used to import production plans for the production workload feature in MVS. Production plans form the basis for generating schedules using this feature by specifying a time range for the production of a product using a machine. Importing production plans from a third-party system enables a schedule generation process that is performed automatically on a recurring basis.

The production plan import process uses a CSV (comma-separated values) file to import production plans into the system. The CSV file's layout must conform to the specified interface layout definition configured in the system. Related job scheduler tasks must also be created. Imported production plans are created in the system with the PENDING status, which indicates that the production plans are ready for schedule generation.
