The purpose of the Production Scheduling Whitepaper is to increase the reader’s knowledge of the scheduling processes available within Acumatica. It is strongly recommended to first complete the M100, M200 and M210 manufacturing education courses and be familiar with Acumatica processes and general work center and work calendar configurations. 

Upon completion of reading this document readers should understand:  

  • Available scheduling methods within Acumatica  
  • How Acumatica determines start and end dates for each scheduling method 
  • What inputs are considered for each scheduling method 

The following concepts are NOT addressed in detail in this document as they are well covered in either Acumatica’s online help or the M100, M200, or M210 manufacturing education courses.  

  • How to configure work centers  
  • How to configure tools  
  • How to configure machines  
  • For Finite Scheduling, when to run APS Maintenance

 The following topics were excluded in the first version of this whitepaper but may be added in the future:

  • Machine Scheduling
  • Tool Scheduling
  • Capable to Promise functionality

 

Did this topic help you find an answer to your question?

Where can I find information about scheduling using a multi level BOM where the products are being created and consumed almost simultaneously?  The work centers are connected and our cartons as they are completed, are immediately consumed to create Master Cases.

@Jennifer Douglas  that doesn’t sound like something our native scheduling functionality would handle well - have you evaluated LYNQ or Lillyworks Protected Flow?

@angierowley75 is it possible to schedule multiple production orders for different items in the same work center at the same time based on available capacity by quantity? I tried doing this with machines, but it’s spreading each production order across multiple machines instead of scheduling order 1 at machine 1, order 2 at machine 2, etc.

I was looking for something related to longer lead times operations, and I didn’t see any mention of the day format vs the hours format in this. Was this an oversight?

@jeremyd45 I don’t follow your scenario - the white paper assumes a basic level of understanding on how to configure BOMs - but if there is a scenario you feel should be added, we can put it on the to-do list.
