Dispatching with Automatic Change of Planning Direction 

Usage

With this dispatching function the system searches for remaining available capacity in the whole planning period on the capacity planning tables for the operations that you dispatch either manually or automatically.

Prerequisites

  • This function is activated for dispatching if you set the indicator Change planning direction in the strategy profile.

If you do not set the indicator Change planning direction then the system only searches for remaining available capacity in the strategy profile.

  • The indicator Insert operation should not be set in the strategy profile.

If it is set then the indicator Change planning direction is ignored and the system only looks for remaining available capacity in the planning direction set in the strategy profile.

Range of functions

The system first looks for remaining available capacity in the direction that you have specified in the strategy profile. If it does not find any then it searches in the other direction.
