This parameter is used when scheduling work orders. Use this parameter to define the default time table schema code to be used when a day in the weekly structures has a blank time table schema.

Production machinery is manned by workers that work to a fixed working week, or work to shift patterns. Daily working patterns are defined in time table schemas. A time table schema can apply to a single day in a shift, or to each working day in a standard working week.

The working week or shift patterns are defined as weekly structures. Each day of the week can be assigned to the time table schema that defines the working hours for that day, or you can leave the time table schema blank for any working day. For each working day with a blank time table schema, the scheduling calculation uses the time table schema defined in this parameter.

Time table schemas (GESDIH) and Weekly structures (GESTWD)

Comments

Choose a schema code for this parameter that matches the length of the standard working day. This is defined in the field 1 day (field DAYCAPNOM) in the weekly structures. If the number of hours defined for this time table schema is greater or less than the daily capacity for the day for which it is applied this can result in an incorrect scheduling calculation.

It is mandatory to define a Time table schema code for each working day in the Weekly structures if you use Production Scheduler, Sage X3 Web Scheduling or any web scheduling solution developed by an ISV (independent software vendor).
