Item Resource Load Detail Inquiry/Report

The item resource load detail inquiry and report show the detail of the orders that are creating the load. This example shows the work orders and items that are the specific labor load for this site. Once the summary has shown an overload condition exists, the master scheduler makes decisions about whether to schedule overtime, add extra shifts or reschedule the work orders. The detail reports will show the actual orders that may need to be rescheduled.

While the data displayed are the same for the inquiry and report, some schedulers will prefer the format of the report, which can be viewed on the monitor or printed.

Note: In Enterprise Edition, an enhanced .NET UI-only version of Item Resource Load Detail Report is available on menu 21.48.

This exercise covers entering and reviewing a forecast and a seasonal build plan.

1 Item 01042 at site 10-100 is being introduced into a new marketplace 4 weeks from next Monday.

2 As a hedge against sales being greater than anticipated, you would like to have an additional 60 units in stock available on the date of the introduction. These will be produced in the two weeks prior to the introduction.

Use Seasonal Build Maintenance (22.9) to enter a seasonal build schedule using Monday dates.
