For a nice explanation on how Epicor schedules assemblies, see the
Scheduling Technical Reference Guide on EpicWeb or under your Epicor905
help folder (forgot the path but there's a bunch of pdfs under the ENU and
the supporting files(?) folder.

Let's see if I can break this down to make sense? Let's say:
You have a Top-Assy that consists of a Sub-Assy and other stuff.
The Sub-Assy consists of Parts.
You have no inventory of one of the Sub-Assy Parts and none due.

The scheduler appears to schedule the Top-Assy to meet the demand date regardless of when the part to build the sub-assy is due. The scheduling board does not show the Top-Assy as being late. Capable To Promise does the same thing.

Am I doing something wrong? If this is the way it supposed to work, how does my Scheduler Person know how and when to adjust the jobs? BTW: it did generate a purchase suggestion for the missing part.

Thanks for your assistance.
