Suboperations are not divided into individual operation segments. Instead, they are assigned a start and a finish date calculated with reference to a specific reference date in the corresponding operation
To define the start and finish of a suboperation, you must go to the operation tab page
Suboperation dates.
The following data is required to calculate dates for a suboperation:
A reference date (for example, the start date for setup or the finish date for the execution of the respective operation)
A time interval:
If the time interval is positive, the system schedules forwards starting from the reference date.
If the time interval is negative, the system schedules backwards starting from the reference date.
Note
If you have not maintained any scheduling data for a suboperation, the setup start date and the execution finish date of the respective operation are taken over into the suboperation.
