Work Center Schedule

Form ID: (AM000001)

This form displays the production schedule for each work center by date and time. The schedule includes planned orders generated by MRP. Both MRP planned and actual production orders are initially scheduled using infinite capacity when created. You can use the Rough Cut Planning (AM501000) form to finitely schedule production orders.

This form is available only when the Advanced Planning and Scheduling feature is enabled on the Enable/Disable Features (CS100000) form.
