Scheduling Availability Dates#

During scheduling, it may be desirable to only consider certain entities as available after a certain date:

  • A Resource may currently be undergoing maintenance and will only be able to resume production after a certain moment.
  • A Material may currently be undergoing inspection or rework and will only be released after a certain date.
  • A Production Order may have a defined start date, so as to avoid WIP accumulation and material costing being given too early

As such, these three entities have Availability Date properties, which allows the user to specify from which moment should scheduling consider them as available:

  • Resource: Availability Date
  • Material: Possible Start Date
  • Production Order: Planned Start Date
