This function is used to shift in time a selection of Work Orders, planned or firm; scheduled or not. The purpose here is to move forward or postpone all the operations of a work order by a specified number of calendar days.

The shift is applied to the start date of the order if the scheduling mode for this order is upstream or to the end date of the order if the scheduling mode for this order is downstream.

Only the "Pending" work orders are processed. The printed orders or those in progress must be manually modified in the "Production Orders" function.

The work orders presenting operations with fixed dates are not concerned by this automatic processing.

Screen management

The date shift of the work orders is subdivided into two phases: Entry of the selections, then results of the processing.

Entry screen

Selection entry

The purpose here is to specify the selection criteria of the orders to be shifted:

  • The production site: it is loaded by default with the production site associated with the operator,
  • The status of the orders to be processed (planned or firm)
  • The processing of the non-scheduled orders or of the scheduled orders only. The processed scheduled orders are first descheduled, then rescheduled after the date shift.

Start/end ranges

The various available selection ranges are:

  • Work order no.
  • Project
  • Destination
  • Order no.
  • Released product
  • Start date

Date shift

You must enter a date shift to be applied in calendar days: the date shifting can be positive or negative.

Results of the process

A report on the processing appears when the date shift is complete, it contains the orders that have been shifted and their new start and end dates.

A message warns the user if a selected order could not be processed.
