Scheduling Types

Scheduling types are defined in Customizing (Customizing for Shop Floor Control by choosing  Operations Scheduling Define Scheduling Type ). The following scheduling types are predefined for production orders:

With this scheduling type the system schedules forwards starting from the basic start date or the scheduled start date of the order.

With this scheduling type the system schedules backwards starting from the basic finish date or scheduled finish of the order.

With this scheduling type the system uses today’s date as the basic start date and schedules forwards.

Only the capacity requirements are calculated with this scheduling type. The individual operations are not scheduled. The system copies the basic dates to the scheduled dates. These dates are copied as the operation dates.
