During the scheduling run it is checked if the planned stock issues on the
respective time axis are covered by the current stock level plus the
planned stock receipts. For stock shortages, depending on the
procurement type, order suggestions for purchase parts and production
suggestions for internally produced parts are generated.
There are the following scheduling modes:
• Variant related scheduling (V)
• Sales order related scheduling (A)
• Requirement related scheduling (B)
• Minimum stock related scheduling (C)
• Remaining stock related scheduling (R)
The abas ERP scheduling is run according to the net change principle.
This means that during a scheduling run not all outstanding sales and
purchase orders are re-scheduled, but only changes to the time and
material framework, which have been made since the last scheduling run,
are recorded.
By using the net change principle in the scheduling calculation abas ERP
is immediately able, even in the dialog, to carry out the scheduling
calculation. Whenever a scheduling-related entry is made in abas ERP,
the scheduling calculation will be activated in the background.
Each change is thus immediately calculated and the results can be
interactively evaluated. When a new customer sales order is created, it
can be immediately ascertained if this customer sales order can be
delivered at the due date requested.
Relocation suggestions and relocation orders between different
warehouses and their completion confirmations can be easily created.
For the on-schedule settlement of delivery schedules, stock levels and
current procurements are firmly tied to sales blanket orders.
Allocation of products to scheduling groups
In order to reduce the CPU time and the computer capacity when
continuous scheduling is run, products that do not have to be scheduled
immediately can be excluded from the continuous scheduling by
allocating them to a scheduling group. Scheduling products of a
scheduling group is carried out by an explicit call.
