Submit for scheduling
Use this function to select one or a range of work orders at a specific status to submit to Production Scheduler for scheduling. Scheduling is the process of sequencing the timing of work order operations according to the length of the operation, their productive and non-productive setting and operation times, and relationships in the work order (or routing for suggestions).
Production Scheduler (FUNPSSCH) schedules the operations in the defined routing, and if specified, routing version, distributing the workload. It is particularly useful for adjusting unexpected production or supply events.
The sequence of operations will follow the defined numbering sequence.
You can specify a start date against a work order operation so that a work order is not scheduled to start before the materials are available, for example. If an operation's start date has been set scheduling does not change the date. Scheduling will, however, reschedule other operations around this date.
Whilst a work order is being scheduled (has been submitted for scheduling) it remains at scheduling status Scheduled and work order status Being optimized. At these statuses you cannot modify the work order.
You can submit a single work order to Production Scheduler directly from the Work order function (GESMFG) using the Submit for scheduling action.
A routing version, if defined, must be at Available to use status on the production start date (Start date field in the Header tab of the work order). If scheduling changes the production start date this might cause an inconsistency with the selected version. Should this situation occur the work order Scheduling status will remain at Not scheduled status. You must either change the routing version or reschedule the work order before you can continue.
Once the scheduling information is correctly set you can use the Planning workbench (FUNDBENCH) to reschedule, deschedule or mark specific operations to be scheduled.
You must remove a work order from scheduling (deschedule) if you need to modify an operation. You can use either the Remove from scheduling function (PSOPTFREE) or the Remove from scheduling action directly from the Work order function (GESMFG) to do this.
Production Scheduler is only available for on-premises instances of Sage X3.
Prerequisites
Refer to documentation Implementation
Screen management
The Submit for scheduling function contains a single screen into which you enter your work order selection criteria.
Entry screen
Presentation
Selection criteria
Use this section to define the production site at which work orders are to be submitted for scheduling and the date range. By default, the search is for all production at the defined site for the next three months but can be changed to search within a range of dates.
Statuses
Use this section to filter the results by the status of the work order. The origin of a suggestion can be defined if you include work order suggestions.
You can optionally select the work orders by applying a calculation formula.

The following fields are present on this tab :
Selection criteria
|
Select the site from which the work orders must be selected. Enter start and end dates in order to limit the selection to the work orders included within this date range. You can enter a formula to filter the list of work orders to be extracted and submitted for scheduling. You can narrow the selection to planned work orders, firm work orders or work order suggestions. For WO suggestions, you can also limit the selection to the suggested works orders that originated from a MRP or MPS calculation, or both. Select the Selected work orders check box in order to generate a log file displaying the detailed results of the extraction (WO extracted and being optimized, WO found that will not be submitted again because already in the scheduling, etc.). |
