Define Production Schedule by Line Manually
Explanation
Use this activity to view, modify, or create a new production schedule for a
production line. You can
create a complete set of schedule records for a line, or just enter a new schedule record
in an existing production schedule.
Production line schedules are normally generated by Master Scheduling or MRP, but you
can also change them manually. You can create schedule quantities beyond the
schedule horizon or any point within the schedule or firm horizons. Schedules created
beyond the schedule horizon will, however, be removed in the next schedule iteration if they do not fall within the firm horizon. You might also want to
change the time information to the due dates coming from Master Scheduling and MRP
to more distinctly identify the production schedule. You can also choose to break down a
single schedule quantity for a due date into multiple records, each with a distinct time.
