I assume, even though you don't run MRP, actually DO single order (or gloabally) schedule your jobs.
If you don't, you will have to as - job material requirements get their requirement date from the OP start date they are tied to.
The dispatch works whether you run MRP (or the Global) or not. It just needs scheduled jobs to dispatch.
I have not checked 404 (recent install) to see the how the 404 dispatch handles display of Unreleased jobs.
Released job OPs should always appear. Unreleased ideally appear but are either in a seperate section or inter mixed with Released jobs and have a display method in place for identifying them as unreleased.
Other tools (scheduling boards) require Load to be generated. (Load is a seperate table that essentially mirrors the actual OpDtl schedules). This is triggered during MRP if you specify scheduling of unfirmed jobs and is also triggered by the global scheduler. You can also regenerate it directly via a flaky (in 404) app "Generate Shop Load".

Hello everyone-
I need a little more additional information concerning the Priority
Dispatch Report. I was talking with another user who have made the
jump from Vantage 6.1 to Vantage 8.00 and he said that he had no
problem with the Priority Dispatch report. But after talking with him
a little longer he said that he uses MRP, which automatically
schedules the job and that is why his report works.
We don't use MRP, so any jobs that were open in Vantage 6.1 when we
converted over does not show up in Vantage 8.03.4xx Priority Dispatch
Report.
Anybody got any ideas on this?
