Global Reschedule (Foward or Backward)

Yahoo Archive

I believe if you're required date is in the past, and, you do not allow
historical dates, that it should end up forward scheduling from the
current date (if it isn't broke at your patch level). If you want, I
have a copy of the global scheduling technical guide available from
Epicor (its online somewhere in epicweb), but I could expedite it to you
if needed.

Now the question is...

What date is the Global Reschedule working to?

When you create a Job and schedule it, the system is working off the
'Required Date' as it begins the backward schedule process. Based on my
Company Configuration (not allowing scheduling before today) the system
will forward schedule when it reaches today. During the Global
Scheduling process my 'Required Date' could be in the past.

So, what is the system backward scheduling from?

It looks like it try's to backward schedule and if it cannot meet the
date it forward schedules. Note, I do not allow scheduling before today
or started operations.

Vantage 8.03.408A

I am reviewing the detailed log file generated from the Global Schedule process (recommended here to work on my other post).

I have always assumed the Global Reschedule forward schedules from the date selected. Reviewing these logs I am now questioning my assumption. It looks like it try's to backward schedule and if it cannot meet the date it forward schedules. Note, I do not allow scheduling before today or started operations.

Can anybody confirm what the system is doing during a Global Reschedule?

Review your scheduling priority codes (production
management\scheduling\setup), that is where vantage gets its marching
orders on whether to forward schedule or backwards schedule when
scheduling jobs through global. This setting can be found on the job
header tab in job entry. You can of course override this (in theory)
when manually scheduling a job in order entry.

I am reviewing the detailed log file generated from the Global Schedule
process (recommended here to work on my other post).

I have always assumed the Global Reschedule forward schedules from the
date selected. Reviewing these logs I am now questioning my assumption.
It looks like it try's to backward schedule and if it cannot meet the
date it forward schedules. Note, I do not allow scheduling before today
or started operations.

Thanks Rob.

You get so hung up in the day to day stuff (backward scheduling) never thought to take a look at how this area ties in with the global.
