Account for Purchased Material Availability

When this is toggled on, the schedule will take into account any purchased material that is needed for an operation and when the system expects to have material on hand. When an operation is being scheduled the system will check the following:

• Is there sufficient material on hand?
• If no, is there an open PO for the material? If so, what is the expected receive date?
• If there is no open POs for the material, what is the vendor lead time set at the item level? In this scenario, the operation will be scheduled based on the lead time of the material assuming that a PO will be created for it that day.

Account for Customer Supplied Material Availability

If toggled on, the schedule will consider the expected receive date of any customer-supplied material within the BOM of the job that is scheduled.

Account for Make Item Availability

This setting will allow the system to schedule operations based on the availability of built to stock sub-assemblies.

Operation Grouping

Operation grouping allows you to ensure that subsequent operations are scheduled back-to-back. This can be set at the individual item routing level between two operations.
