Use these settings to choose how to process and manage Works Orders, Planning and Scheduling
The working week must be defined to form a basis for calculating Works Order lead times and to assess production capacity. It is also used by Planning when building recommendations and stock projections, along with the Scheduler when scheduling works orders.
When a new Works Order is created or recommended by MRP, the start date is calculated using the total production time of all operations combined with the capacity defined in the operations associated working week calendar.
You can setup multiple individual working week calendars to suit the different working patterns of various resources throughout your factory. There will be a default working week calendar that should reflect the days and times that the factory is operational.
In general, the more production days that are included in the working week, or the longer each working day is, the shorter each Works Order’s estimated lead time will be.
