Starting Time Field

The Prod. Order Capacity Need Table

This field shows the starting time of the capacity need.

Running the Refresh Production Order batch job from a production order will calculate the capacity need for the special dates and time. The program uses the starting time to determine an optimal load for a machine center or a work center. For example, if the first production order has a capacity need of 6 hours on a special machine center and the normal working time is 8 hours, planning will use the remaining 2 hours for another production order and will define a starting time in the afternoon.
