Remove from scheduling

Use this function to select one or a range of work orders at a specific status to remove from scheduling.

This function uses the generic Finite scheduler interface to connect to (missing or bad snippet) Web Scheduling or to any web scheduling solution developed by an ISV (independent software vendor) to remove work orders from the scheduling process.

A work order that is being scheduled has been submitted to a web scheduling solution for scheduling. The work order scheduling status remains at Scheduled and the work order at Being optimized status. You cannot modify the work order at these statuses. When you remove a work order from the scheduling process, the work order changes to the status it was at prior to scheduling. This can be Pending or In progress status. You can then modify the work order and resubmit for scheduling if necessary.

 You can remove a single work order from the web scheduling solution directly from the Work order function (GESMFG), using the Remove from scheduling action.

 If you need to modify an operation, you need to remove the work order from the scheduling. This deschedules it.

Screen management

The Remove from scheduling function contains a single screen for you to enter your work order selection criteria.

Entry screen

Use the Selection criteria section to define the production site from which to remove work orders from the scheduling process.

Use the Start – end range section to define the selection ranges to be used for filtering the results of the search.

Use the Filters section to filter the results by the work order status.

Selection criteria

Production site (field MFGFCY)

Type in or select the production site to select the work orders from.

Start – end range

Work order (field MFGNUMDEB)

Filter for results within a range of work orders. For a single work order, enter the same work order number in the from/start Work order and to/end Work order fields.
Project (field PJTDEB)

Filter for results within a range of project or project task codes. For a single project or project task, enter the same project or project task code in the from/start Project and to/end Project fields.

If the content of this field includes a character such as an exclamation mark "!" this field links to the structure of the project. The character is the separator between a project code and the project operational (task) structure. For example, if a material task code is "USA-P3" and a project code is "USA12345678", this field displays a link to the project operational structure as "USA12345678!USA-P3".

 To provide a quick and easy visual reference, the link to the project or project structure is distinguishable by the number of separator characters used. If there are no separator characters, the link is to the project; a single separator character such as an exclamation mark after the project code (the first code) indicates the link type is a task (the link is to the project operational structure).
Destination (field BPCNUMDEB)

Filter for results within a range of "ship-to" customers and/or sites. For a single customer or site, enter the same code in the from/start Destination and to/end Destination fields.
Order no. (field VCRNUMDEB)

Filter for results within a range of source sales orders. For a single sales order, enter the same code in the from/start Order no. (Order number) and to/end Order no. fields.
Released product (field ITMREFDEB)

Filter for results within a range of finished products (BOMs). For a single bill of material (BOM), enter the same product code in the from/start Released product and to/end Released product fields.
Start date (field STRDATDEB)

Filter for results within a range of dates. For a single day, enter the same date in the Start date and End date fields. You can leave the Start date field blank to search all records to date.
