Scheduling blocks bamboozled

I have been trying to fathom as to how the epicor scheduling logic is scheduling a couple of jobs that I have set up in our pilot arena.

I have 2 jobs that I created on the fly with are verbatim to each other. I have just 1 operation attached, and that operation has a resource group comprising of 2 resources. Job A will ‘ALWAYS’ split the job amongst the 2 resources. For example a 5 hour operation is split 2.5hours for each resource. This is the desired outcome and we used scheudling blocks to acheive this.

We have since created job B which when scheduled only uses one resource and allots that resource the full 5 hours. Job B is set up exactly the same and even if we scheduled this job before job A the same resource allotment takes place.

To test we then created a 3rd job and this seemed to follow the same logic as job B. We cano only get job A to split the operations as we want, but all subsequent jobs will not split the operation. Can anyone point me in the right direction as to whats going on?

Job A


Job B

Did you look at the scheduling logs to see if there was anything in there?

I set the scheduling blocks I want and then schedule and then that number of resources are assigned. We are infinite, so resource 1 can be assigned multiple times.
