AutoSchedule Processes
Use the Planning AutoSchedule process and the Shipping AutoSchedule process to automatically build supplier schedules. This process builds schedules for those supplier site/item combinations that have AutoScheduling enabled and that match the AutoSchedule build parameters. You can manually build schedules with the Scheduler's Workbench. See: Building a New Schedule.
Exceptions encountered during the AutoSchedule process can be viewed by choosing the View Log button in the Requests window.
