Scheduling Parameters in Customizing 
Scheduling Parameters in Customizing
Scheduling parameters are entered in Customizing for Process Orders (Operations ® Scheduling ® Define Scheduling Parameters) for each order type, plant and production scheduler (specified in the material master). Parameters that influence the scheduling of a process order are described below.
Scheduling Type
The
scheduling type determines how scheduling is carried out (for example, backwards). When you create a process order, the scheduling type is proposed on the order header screen. You can, however, overwrite this scheduling type in individual process orders.Current Date Scheduling
In Customizing, you can specify that an order is to be rescheduled as soon as it is delayed by a certain number of days. If the order start date lies further in the past than the specified number of days, the system will automatically carry out current date scheduling during the next scheduling run. Current date scheduling is forward scheduling, starting from the current date, which is reduced as much as possible (see
Reduction Measures).
Rescheduling
You can specify that a process order is to be rescheduled when you save it (Schedule automatically indicator). If changes are made to the order that are relevant to scheduling and this indicator is not set, the order is given status NTER (date not current).
