Editing Blocks
Use
You process blocks in resource maintenance or when creating the block basis definitions.
You can move, extend, shorten, or completely delete blocks. You can also insert new blocks.
Deleting blocks:
The length of the block is determined by the end date/time. The system determines the start date/time of the block from the preceding block. When you delete a block, the system increases the subsequent block by the time of the deleted block.
Note
If orders in the subsequent block are not compatible, the system will issue a characteristics alert in the deleted block. You must then carry out rescheduling in the DS planning board.

In time-continuous finite planning, you can define tolerances for a block that contains an order in which you can schedule an additional block. However, you can only schedule the order in the block if the subsequent block still has available capacity in this time period. |
