Schedule Scope

The scope determines what data gets considered for scheduling.

Define the Scope of Your Schedule

1. Select the scheduling organization that you want to schedule production for.

2. Specify the schedule horizon, which is the duration of the scheduling period from the horizon start date. The horizon start date is derived using the anchor date and time.

3. Specify a horizon to allow consideration of past-due demands. Demands that were supposed to be fulfilled before the horizon start date are termed Past-Due. Past-due demands within this horizon will be considered for scheduling.

4. Specify a horizon to allow consideration of past-due supplies. Supplies that were supposed to be available before the horizon start date are termed Past-Due. Past-due supplies within this horizon will be considered for scheduling.

5. Select an item catalog. Consider these points when you select an item catalog:

   • In the Product Information Management work area on the Manage Catalogs page you can set Item Catalogs to be controlled at Organization level or Master level.
   • The schedule refresh considers the category assignment on master organization level only, independent of whether the item catalog is controlled at Master level or Organization level.
   • If controlled at the Organization level, then the item category association must include the item in the master organization for it to be included in the production schedule.

6. Select item categories.

7. Specify whether to schedule maintenance work orders. If you enable this setting, only maintenance work orders will be considered in the Gantt Chart and dispatch list. Maintenance work orders are also not considered in a manufacturing schedule.

8. Specify whether to include unreleased planned make orders from Oracle Supply Planning.
   • If you enable this setting, you can reference a supply plan or integrated demand and supply plan and include its unreleased planned make orders in subsequent schedule runs.
   • The unreleased planned make orders from Supply Planning will be included only if they satisfy the schedule scope criteria.
   • After you enable this setting, you can schedule work orders from Supply Chain Execution and planned make orders from Supply Planning at the same time.
   • If unreleased planned make orders from Oracle Supply Planning shall be included in the production schedule and alternate work definitions are in use, then for non-transactional data, specifically work definitions, targeted collections should be used for Supply Planning instead of net-change collections.
9. You can select the plan from the Plan Name drop-down list. The last run date for the plan is automatically populated.

Tip:

You can improve scheduling performance by reducing the number of operation-resource records considered by the application. To do so, limit the schedule horizon, the number of items, or the past-due supply horizon.
