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:
