Schedule
Maintenance
(18.22.2.1)
If you need to replace an existing schedule, delete it manually in Schedule
Maintenance, then run Repetitive Schedule Update to create a new
schedule.
After updating repetitive schedules, run MRP to synchronize planned
orders with the schedule changes.
Schedule Maintenance
Use Schedule Maintenance (18.22.2.1) to enter or maintain daily
schedules for each production line at a site. If the production line has
multiple shifts, the schedule represents the total for all shifts. If there are
no production lines at the site, you can enter a schedule for the whole site.
The bill of material and routing for an item on a repetitive schedule
default from Item Master Maintenance (1.4.1) or Item-Site Planning
Maintenance (1.4.17). You can specify valid alternates, but you cannot
combine different BOMs and routings on one order.
Exploding Repetitive Schedules
Once you establish a schedule, you must explode it using Schedule
Explosion (18.22.2.4). The explosion creates the material and work center
operation requirements necessary to support the schedule.
Until exploded, changes to the schedule are not reflected in component
demand or work center load. MRP reports for the components or CRP
reports for the affected work centers do not reflect the current repetitive
schedule until it is exploded.
