If you change a job quantity, the system automatically prompts you to reschedule the job.

Prerequisites

   Define at least one discrete job with a status of Released or Complete. See: Defining Discrete Jobs Manually.

   To reschedule a standard job with a routing or a non-standard job with a routing reference:

1. Navigate to the Discrete Jobs window. See: Combination Block and Navigating Within a Combination Block.

2. Enter the Name of the job.

3. In the Dates region, enter either the Start or Completion date and time.

For standard jobs, if you enter a start date and time, the completion date and time are automatically forward scheduled based on the assembly's routing. Similarly, if you enter a completion date and time, the start date and time are automatically backward scheduled based on the assembly's routing. You can enter a past due start date to forward schedule a job that should have started before the current date. You cannot enter a start date and time greater than the completion date and time.

For non-standard jobs, the same forward and backward scheduling logic is applied. However, for non-standard jobs, scheduling is based on the routing reference not the assembly's routing.

Note: If your job is non-standard and has a routing reference that has no routing, the fixed and variable lead times of the routing reference are used to calculate the start or completion date and time.

4. Save your work.

   To reschedule a standard job without a routing or a non-standard job without a routing reference:

1. Navigate to the Discrete Jobs window.

2. Select the Job.

3. In the Dates region, enter either the Start or Completion date and time or enter both the Start or Completion date and time.

For standard jobs without routings, you can enter either the start date and time or the completion date and time. If you enter a start date and time, the lead time for the job is calculated by adding the job assembly's fixed and variable lead times and multiplying this sum by the job quantity. The completion date and time are then automatically forward scheduled using this lead time. Similarly, if you enter a completion date and time, the start date and time are automatically backward scheduled using this lead time. Standard jobs can also be manually scheduled by entering both the start and the completion date and time.

For non-standard job without routing references, both the start and the completion dates and times must be entered.

4. Save your work.

   To reschedule a discrete job with a routing after changing a start quantity:

1. After changing your start quantity and saving your work, the Schedule Discrete Job window appears.

Select a scheduling method:

Forwards from start date: The completion date is cleared and the job is forward scheduled using the start date and time.

Backwards from completion date: The start date is cleared and the job is backward scheduled using the completion date and time.

Manual: For jobs without routings and operations, you have the option to reschedule by accepting the current job start and completion dates.

2. Choose OK to save your work.
