Form ID: (AM512000)
The purpose of this process is to rebuild and refresh work center schedules. You should run
this process in the following cases:
- During the first implementation of the APS functionality after you have defined your
work centers and their capacities.
- When you have changed the calendars working hours, added shifts, added break times,
changed calendar exception days for work centers. Currently it does not remove break times
from the work center but it will add new ones.
- When you have changed the schedule block size on the Production Preferences
(AM102000) form.
- Periodically to clean up and remove old schedules.
The process will fill the empty schedule days for each work centers for the next 180 days
and adjust the schedule time blocks. This process can be scheduled to run automatically
using automation schedules (for details, see Automated Processing: General Information).
