6.1.1. Configure Schedule

To configure the Schedule module, select the "Configure Schedule" option. The following screen will appear:

Configure Schedule Module

When configuring the Schedule module, you are presented with the following options:

Next Planned Order #

Enter a number to establish the basis for the next Planned Order Number. Any changes made here will be reflected the next time a new Planned Order is created.

Default Calendar

Specify a default Calendar to be used when running the "MPS Detail" report.

Enable Constraint Management

Select to enable the Constraint Management system. If not selected, the system will be hidden from view.

Enforce Site Calendar for Planning and Orders

Select if you want the planning and order entry systems to recognize non-working days, as defined by the Site Week and Site Calendar Exceptions. If not selected, every day will be treated as a working day when either running the planning systems or entering the following types of orders: Purchase Orders, Sales Orders, Transfer Orders, Work Orders, Return Authorizations. When this feature is enabled, users entering order dates will be warned about non-working days and will be prompted to pick the next available working day.

Look ahead from first demand for Order Grouping

Select this option to modify the default behavior of the Planned Order grouping feature found on the Planning tab of the Item Site screen. If selected, the following logic will be used:

  1. Plan each day until unsatisfied demand is found

  2. Look ahead the Order Group number of days and create a Planned Order for the total unsatisfied demand

  3. Repeat the process starting with the day after the end of the previous group.

If not selected, the default behavior will be used.
