This activity code activates the generic Finite scheduler interface. It is also used with the Production Scheduler functionality.

  • To activate and use the Finite scheduler interface, select the Active check box.
  • If you are using the Production Scheduler functionality, leave the Active check box clear.
    POPS - Production Scheduler activity code

Finite scheduler is a generic interface that provides an integration connector, developed by Sage, to connect to Sage X3 Web Scheduling or to any web scheduling solution developed by an ISV (independent software vendor) for either cloud or on-premises solutions.

Production Scheduler is a planning tool used to view the scheduling of work orders in the form of a Gantt chart. It can optimize production cycles and control lead times. It provides flexible graphical production planning and scheduling capabilities.

A web scheduling solution (or Production Scheduler) is particularly useful for adjusting unexpected production or supply events.

The generic Finite scheduler interface can be activated for both cloud and on-premises solutions. Production Scheduler is only available for on-premises instances of Sage X3.

Comments

The generic Finite scheduler interface developed by Sage connects to cloud and on-premises solutions; Production Scheduler only applies to on-premises instances of Sage X3.
