Scheduling Hierarchy to Determine Available Production Time

The scheduling and planning functions in PeopleSoft Manufacturing use a hierarchy to determine available production times and days:

1. If a calendar code has been defined for the routing operation's work center, the system uses the calendar code assigned to the work center.

2. If a calendar code hasn't been associated to the work center, the system uses the production calendar code defined for the business unit.

3. If a production calendar isn't available, the planning and scheduling functions base start and due dates and times on a five-day work week.

   The system defines a five-day work week as Monday through Friday with one shift. The specific hours of operation for the shift are user defined. The defined shift must start and end on the same day.

If you are using PeopleSoft Supply Planning, the system creates a plan based on the calendars assigned to the particular resource or work center. If a calendar isn't associated with a resource or work center, the system uses the business unit's default production calendar to create a plan.
