Machine Schedule

Both MRP planned and actual production orders are initially scheduled using infinite capacity when created. The Rough Cut Capacity process is used to finitely schedule production orders.

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