The combined order needs to be scheduled to determine the corresponding production dates. The system schedules the order.

Features

The combined order is always scheduled backwards. The scheduling type for exact day or for exact second is copied in line with the reference order setting for the combined order.

The finish date is determined from the list of combined operations of the original orders. To do this, the system identifies the last combined operation for each of the original orders. From this list of last combined operations, the system identifies the earliest operation. The finish date of this operation is used as the finish date for the combined order. This ensures that the combined order is completed before the next non-combined operation starts. If the combined order cannot be scheduled so that it is completed by this date, the system issues the warning Finish date has been moved or Start date has been moved . The scheduled start date of the first operation and the scheduled finish date of the last operation of the combined order are copied to the combined operations of the original orders as start and finish date.

Dispatched status is assigned to the combined operations of the original orders. Dates are not updated status is assigned to the original orders. The operations of the original orders that have not been combined are scheduled around the scheduled operations (midpoint scheduling).
