Would anyone know if there is a posibility to update the start/end dates on an operation itself? i know you can update the actual work order but i would like to have seperate dates for each operation so each team have there own start date.
Thanks!

HI
The start date and end date, which are system-maintained values. Based on the scheduling settings, the system will schedule the production order and determine the start and end date.
The only way that I found to change them is on the Production Order Maintenance, You can select Scheduling Method: User Dates and adjust them there. The actual Production Order will not allow you to change the dates.
I guess it is not possibel! But I also think this is correct. I think it makes no sense to change manually a Start or End Date of an single work order. It should always be the target to setup the systen in the right way, that the system will do automatically the start and End date scheduling for several work order based on availabel capacity. In this case nobody has to do manual actions 😉
I understand the target should be to be automated, we can set these new dates based on our company rules from teh API integration.
If anyone knows if there is a way (or confirm there isnt...) would be greatly appriciated

@ldancziger - these dates cannot be manually updated. If you are using:

This has come up numerous times with clients who need to manually set the operation dates.
Curious thread…
I’m struggling with the general scheduling method, the whole Infinite Scheduling and Finite Scheduling doesn’t fit our needs.
Our needs : Capacity based scheduling that accommodates parallel scheduling ( hopefully I’ve used the correct terms ) All of this is currently available in a system I designed many years ago and continues to run quite well but we’d like to move as much of it as we can into Acumatica, for a whole range of reasons though mostly for financial reporting.
At this moment, via a very basic customization, I’ve managed to make the Start Date and End Date available for manual data entry and have extended the Manufacturing end point to include AMProdOper
Using Postman, I’ve been able to illustrate that I’m able to insert and update records within the AMProdOper.
Is there a way to simply disable the scheduling function all together? Doing this might open the doors to many other users who can figure everything out on their own using their own preferred methods and make a lot of people happy.
Thoughts? Insights? ;-)
We also have a need to manually set operation dates. We do utilize the infinite scheduling calculations (with queue times added) to make the operation dates reasonable for our manufacturing process. However, we have a need in our Service business to manually set operation dates, as this business unit shares a few work centers with Production, and we manually slide in those operations as we have capacity in Production. We will want to manually set the dates of the operations in our Service production orders.
I would think if you set a Scheduling Method of User Dates, it should open up the Operations to be manually set.
I created an idea to allow manual adjusting of operation dates:
