Have not seen the too many hours problem but you could reschedule all the
jobs at one time. Global finite scheduling will reschedule everything
global infinite. The only hours that get finite scheduled are those being
scheduled in workcenters marked as finite. Try it on a copy of your
database to see if it gives you what you need.

Subject: [Vantage] inaccurate load showing on shop load report
Has anyone else seen too many hours appearing on the shop load report? The
scheduler just showed me another example of this problem of the shop load
report showing some real bogus information. We have an assembly work center
that showed over 1500 hours past due on the shop load. There were a few jobs
in the detail that showed over 100 hours remaining in the past due bucket
for this work center and she new those jobs were almost done (qty. complete
was like 10 under the planned run qty.) so she individually rescheduled
those jobs and they went down to under 5 hours remaining on shop load. She
did a few others and the load went down to under 1000 hours for that work
center. I've been trying to figure out how this could happen with Epicor for
the last few weeks but have yet to get an answer from them. They had me run
several of the database utilities to try and correct the load hours but it
did not do anything. The only thing that seems to fix them is individually
scheduling the jobs one by one in job entry (we do backward infinite so we
don't want to use the global finite program). The problem is I don't know
which ones are correct and which are not so we don't know which ones we need
to re-schedule (which we really do not want to take the time to do manually
anyway) and also really would like to know how this is happening in the
first place since we are relying on this load information for schedule our
shop.
