Save Schedule Result to Database

Explanation

This activity is used to save your schedule changes to the database. Changes are saved directly to the database when working with the Advanced Planning Board (APB), whereas the Scheduling Client sends changes to the Constraint Based Scheduling (CBS) Server first.

Prerequisites

This activity requires:

• a CBS schedule, when working with the Scheduling Client.
• a shop order schedule, when working with the Advanced Planning Board.
• at least one unsaved change to the schedule.
• when working with the APB, that no changes be made outside the APB to the items that you are trying to save. If there is a change in one or more of the items, you will be notified of the modifications and will not be allowed to save them via the APB. The items which do not have modifications can be saved.

System Effects

As a result of this activity:

• The schedule is saved to the database. The start and end times of shop orders or operations will be updated if they have been modified.
• You will be notified if any of the changes cannot be saved successfully. If you are using the APB, any errors will be displayed in the Error Messages window.
• The value in the CBS Scheduled field in the Shop Order/Operations tab will be set to CBS Scheduled.
