I’m trying to schedule a job to be completed on 12/30/2021, when scheduled, the scheduler is telling me the job can not be completed until 10/4/2022.
We’re running backward scheduling and infinite capacity, so I know the resources aren’t a constraint and we’re being constrained by the material. Is there an easy way to figure out which material is the constraint?
Thank you!
Hi,
Use BAQ to get table JobMtl within filter by jobnum = xx (your job number). Link it to table Part and pull Material constraint field to know which material is constraint.
Look at the job, see what the receipt dates are for the material, and see what part is holding up your job.
The start date of the job will be the receipt date of the constrained material.
Also, you can look at your job in Job Scheduling board to see if there is a crazy operation run time that is pushing the job out by ten months. Could be a subcontract operation with a typo lead time.
