Creating and Maintaining Flow Schedules
You can create schedules to produce items on a specific flow production line within a site. A flow schedule consists of a group of flow scheduled orders, each with a required quantity and a due date within the planning period associated with the schedule, as well as an optional reference to a demand order and existing work order.
There are three ways to create flow scheduled orders:
• Enter them manually using Flow Schedule Maintenance (17.21.3). You can also use this program to update existing flow schedules—for example, to modify the sequence in which the production line completes its work on a given day or move orders from one day to another as priorities change.
• Create flow scheduled orders from MRP-generated planned work orders using Import MRP Orders to Schedule (17.21.9).
• Copy existing orders from an existing flow schedule to a new date range using Flow Schedule Copy (17.21.5).
