Discrete Rescheduling
You can reschedule discrete jobs by modifying discrete job operations, by importing modified jobs and schedules, and by replanning planned orders using Oracle Master Scheduling/MRP and Supply Chain Planning.
Operation Dates
You can reschedule any existing job. You can reschedule around the start or completion date of any discrete job operation. For example, you can do midpoint rescheduling to schedule both forward and backward from any operation within the routing. You can also manually reschedule operation start and completion dates. See: Adding and Updating Operations.
Discrete Job Changes
You can change start and completion dates and times of discrete jobs. The operations and material requirements of the job are automatically forward or backward scheduled depending on the date you changed. This rescheduling is based on the operation and requirements of the job, not the bill and routing you define in Oracle Bills of Material.
If you increase or decrease the job quantity, the job is automatically rescheduled based on the revised quantity. If you change the alternate routing, the routing revision, or revision date and time or routing reference (for non-standard jobs only) of a job with a status of Unreleased, the job is rescheduled based on the new routing.
Planned Orders
You can automatically implement reschedule recommendations from Oracle Master Scheduling/MRP and Supply Chain Planning. You can choose the specific jobs you want to reschedule based on the criteria you enter in the Planner Workbench. The system then automatically reschedules job operation and material requirement start and completion dates and times.
Job Import
You can import suggested repetitive schedules from other planning system into Work in Process. You can choose the specific jobs you want to reschedule based on the criteria you enter in the planning system. Job operation and material requirement start and completion dates and times are automatically rescheduled. See: Open Job and Schedule Interface and Importing Jobs and Schedules.
Capacity Modifications
For each resource on a shift, you can override the number of resource units available (such as number of machines) and specify additions or reductions to the amount of time the resource is available on that shift. And, you can group capacity modifications into sets that you can use when you generate a capacity plan to simulate capacity changes. In Work in Process, these capacity modifications are considered when you define new jobs and/or reschedule existing jobs.
Workday Calendar and Shifts
You can change the workday calendar and modify shifts at any time. The system takes these changes into account when you define new jobs and/or reschedule existing jobs. You can transact on non-workdays as long as they occur in a valid period. See: Overview of Workday Calendar.
