Production Scheduler custom values

Use this function to choose additional fields to display in Production Scheduler (FUNPSSCH) for work orders at a specific production site.

Production Scheduler is only available for on-premises instances of (missing or bad snippet). If the POPS–Production Scheduler activity code is clear and the GFS–Finite scheduler activity code is selected, you are using the generic Finite scheduler interface to (missing or bad snippet) Web Scheduling or to a web scheduling solution developed by an ISV (independent software vendor) for either cloud or on-premises solutions. You need to use the Finite scheduler > Scheduler custom values function (GESGFSCV) instead of this function.

Limitations

  • Production Scheduler displays the labels for all defined custom fields as Custom field. It is not possible to display the field label for the selected custom fields. The values for any defined custom fields are however correctly obtained using the formula defined for the field in the POPSCUSFLDS–Production Scheduler custom fields table.
  • The values displayed in Production Scheduler for any defined custom fields is not updated if the custom fields are changed. Values for new custom fields are only displayed for new or updated work orders. This can result in Production Scheduler displaying different custom field values for different work orders. To display the latest custom field values for all work orders you need to reinitialize the site using the Init. environments from MRP facility.

Error messages

In addition to the generic error messages, the following messages can appear during the entry :

At least one site must be the default site

You need to select the Default checkbox for one site from the list of production sites that have custom fields defined. This ensures custom fields are displayed in Production Scheduler for sites that do not have custom fields defined.

Both work order custom fields have the same value

You have duplicated the work order fields. Select different fields to display in Production Scheduler from the available list of released product (BOM) fields.

Both operation custom fields have the same value

You have duplicated the work order operation fields. Select different fields to display in Production Scheduler from the available list of work order operation fields.

Project management not active. Please choose another custom field.

You have selected to display a project or project task code when Project management is not active on your system. See the PJM–Project management activity code.
