View Scheduled Plan

Explanation

This activity is used to view the scheduled plan for a work task. Once the work task activities which are transferred to the Scheduling Engine are scheduled, an allocation plan is returned to IFS Applications. If the suggested plan is suitable you can assign the work task activity to the suggested resource who is to execute the work. If the suggested plan does not meet the requirements, you can choose to wait for the next broadcast of the plan or manually change the plan in the Scheduling Workbench. Note: If scheduling is done in the Schedule Dispatch Service (SDS), the allocated work task activities will be assigned (or unassigned) automatically to the resources suggested by the SDS based on the given scheduling rules. Therefore, the work tasks that are scheduled by the SDS will be returned in the Assigned status and a work assignment will be created and assigned to the suggested resource.

The scheduled plan will include the following data as received from the Scheduling Engine:
