Changing Repetitive Schedules
You can change repetitive schedules using the Repetitive Schedules and Repetitive Schedules Summary windows. The status of the schedule determines if and what information can be changed. See: Repetitive Schedule Status Control.
Quantities
You can update the daily production quantity, the number of processing days and the total quantity of a repetitive schedule. You can reduce or increase the schedule quantity. Changing the daily production rate on a repetitive schedule causes the total quantity to change accordingly based on the processing days. Changing the processing days causes the total quantity to change according to the daily quantity. Changing the total quantity on a schedule does not impact the daily quantity. Instead increasing the total quantity causes the processing days to increase. Conversely, reducing the total quantity decreases the processing days.
Once the repetitive schedule is released and work has begun on the assembly, you cannot decrease the total quantity lower than the number of assemblies that have already passed the Queue intraoperation step of the first operation. The material requirements and schedule dates are automatically adjusted based upon the quantity change. If the schedule's assembly is an MPS-planned item, the update process automatically adjusts the MPS relief quantity.
Dates
You can change the dates and times on a repetitive schedule. If you change the first unit start date, first unit completion date, last unit start date, or last unit completion date, Work in Process reschedules the repetitive schedule to adjust the remaining start and completion dates. Changing any of the four start and completion dates does not impact the processing days, total quantity, daily quantity, or lead time. Work in Process does not allow you to change dates and times to cause overlapping of schedules for the same assembly on the same line. See: Rescheduling Repetitive Schedules.
Statuses
You can change the status of a repetitive schedule although some changes from one status to another are disallowed and others are conditional. See: Job and Repetitive Schedule Status Changes.
Prerequisites
To change repetitive schedules:
3. Change repetitive schedules in either the Repetitive Schedules or Repetitive Schedules Summary windows. From the Repetitive Schedules Summary window, you can choose the Open button to navigate to the Repetitive Schedules window. See: Combination Block and Navigating Within a Combination Block.
