Specifying the Scheduling Sequence
Use
You use the scheduling sequence to specify in which sequence the system executes the scheduling or rescheduling of an operation group or order group. You can set up the sequence using various criteria, for example:
Order priority
Resource
Product number
The scheduling sequence is relevant for
Manual scheduling and rescheduling of operations and order groups using drag and drop
Scheduling and rescheduling of operations and order groups using the planning function Reschedule
Scheduling with detailed scheduling heuristics
The scheduling sequence is not relevant for scheduling an order. The scheduling sequence is valid for all detailed scheduling strategies in a strategy profile.
Activities
When you schedule or reschedule a group of selected operations or orders, the system first puts the operations and orders in the desired sequence before scheduling or rescheduling them. The system then executes the scheduling or rescheduling of the operations or orders following that sequence.
Note
Depending on the planning situation and the other settings in the detailed scheduling strategy, the scheduled or rescheduled operations at the resources can follow a sequence other than the one you specified in the scheduling sequence.
