Manually Dispatch, Deallocate and Reschedule Operation Groups 

Use

For a group of selected operations in the capacity planning table you can manually do the following using drag and drop:

  • Dispatch to one work center
  • Reschedule to one other work center
  • Deallocate

Procedure

  1. Select the desired operations.
  2. Press the SHIFT key and the right mouse button and drag the group of operations to the desired place using the cursor, that is:
  • Onto the target work center and desired dispatching date, when dispatching and rescheduling

The dispatching date is the date that corresponds to the position of the cursor.

  • Into the pool chart, when deallocating

Result

When dispatching and rescheduling, the system dispatches all operations from the operations group to the target work center. In doing so, the system considers the strategy settings and the dispatching sequence that you entered in the strategy profile. Thus, when you reschedule a group of operations that has already been dispatched, the sequence of the operations can change.
