Work scheduling

Hi,

In what circumstance do we need work scheduling view ? And also in what circumstances do we use use in-house production schedule (instead of work scheduling view) since routing already have all the detailed information ?

Thanks.

For all the materials produced in house we need to maintain the Work scheduling view as it picks up data of Production scheduler from this view.

System first checks for if the Routing is available, if the routing is available it picks up the data ie lead time, production time from Routing, if it is not available then it takes the data from the in house production schedule timings maintained in work scheduling view.

Hope this helps you.

Hi Sriramachandra,

Based on your answer, does it mean that I don't have to have in-house production time in material master if I set up the lead time and production time from Routing?

Thanks.

If you maintain the time in Routings it is not mandatory that you should maintain inhouse times, Maintaining timings in Routing is itself sufficient.

Hi ,

Most of the answers have covered points.Essentially

1.Work scehduling view is maintained for inhouse produced Product.

2.The products are generally FERT but sometimes it may be HALB.

3.Production versions are mainatained in this view which connects the BOM and routing

4.The scheduling parameters are maintained in this view.

5 Batch management and serial number profile as applicable are maintained here.

6 Lot sizing can be specified alongwith base size and times required.

Hi,

In Work scheduling View , important field is " Prodschedulingprofile".

Prod scheduling profile specify that certain business transactions are carried out in parallel in a production order / process order (you can, for example, create and release an order at the same time, or release an order and print the shop papers)

trigger an automatic goods receipt. Sspecify an overall profile for capacity leveling.

You can assign a production scheduling profile to a material /production scheduler.

The assignment to a material has a higher priority.

Hi Sue ,

Any more doubts in this topic, else close this issue.

Hi,

The inhouse production time in material master is to calculate the basic dates for the production and the routing time is for to calculate the lead time of the production, its better you should give both.

Hi,

I noticed that there is in-house production days in the MRP 2 view and also further details of the in-house production time in days in Work Scheduling view. How are these different? Is there any relation between the two?

Thanks.

Hi,

If I already have in-house production days in MRP 2 view, do I still need the work scheduling view? Do I need to have both or just one?

Thanks.

Hi,

Work Scheduling View is necessary for Creating Production Order. for all the material for which we need to create Production order in Plant, we have to maintain Work Scheduling View. Regarding In house production time, we can maintain either in MRP2 view or Work Scheduling View. In MRP 2 view In house production time is Independent of Lot size and In work scheduling view it is dependent on lot size. Means suppose u have created a Production order for 10 units, and in MRP 2 view u have maintained 2 days as In house production time so in scheduling it will consider 2 days to manufacture 10 units, while if u have maintained 2 days for Base Quantity 5 units, then in scheduling it will consider as 4 days for manufacturing 10 units.

Hope it is clear

Hi Sunil,

Thanks for the indepth answer. Is there any special/specific fields that makes the scheduling view necessary to create production orders?

Thanks so much.

hi

U need not to maintain any field there but this view is required for creating Production order. Even though u r not maintaining any field then also u will be able to create Production order.

Hi,

As you noticed there are two ways of giving in house production time one is in mrp-2 view which is lot size independent and another one in the work scheduling view is lot size dependent time which comes from the routing ,

the in house production time you are giving in MRP-2 View is irrespective of your lot size ,i,e irrespective of your planned quantity the system takes the same time which you are giving in the mrp-2 view , i,e for processing 10 units or 100 units the syatem takes the same time .

But the time which you are giving in work scheduling in terms of setup and machining time takes your lot size in to consideration and schedules according to your lot size .

Hope this cleras your doubt .

Hi Su,

If your producing in house production then you should have the workscheduling view otherwise when your creating the production or process order it will give error saying workscheduling view is not added.

Hi,

Do we need to have both work scheduling view and in-house production schedule all the time? Or can we have one or the other? which one is more important?

Thanks.

Work Scheduling View is very much important.

Or else for all inhouse production materials it will give an error while creating production or process orders.
