Want the Planner to be in charge of Released, Firm Jobs.



Solution ID = KB-73

Goal : Want Infinite Backward Scheduling to now be in charge of Released Jobs.

Version = Syteline7.01

Module : SLMFG

Fact 1 : Recently changed from forward finite scheduling to infinte backward scheduling.

Fact 2 : Someone recently ran the Scheduling activity inadvertently.

Symptom 1 : I want the Planner to be in charge of Firmed and or Released Jobs, but I see that they have been 'scheduled' by looking at the 'scheduled' field on the Job Orders form.

Symptom 2 : Ran Firm jobs in the scheduler and did not mean to

Database : SQL 2000

Cause


Once the Scheduling Activity has been run, the Firmed or Released Jobs that have been run through the Scheduler will have their 'scheduled' field checked on the Job Orders form.  SchedOp records will have been created to represent load as an input to the planner.  Other scheduling output will have been created.  As a result, the planning activity will not be in charge of these previously scheduled and released jobs.

Fix


The following steps can be taken to give the Planning activity control over released jobs:

  1. Open SQL Query Analyzer to the appropriate SL 7 App database
  2. Truncate the RESSCHD000 table.  This has the effect of making the integration code think that these Jobs were not scheduled.
  3. Truncate the SCHEDOP000 table.  This will adjust the load records to reflect only what the planner believes is the load.
  4. Run the following command: Execute ApsResyncAllSp.  This will fire all of the triggers that are input to the planning run. (CAUTION: this command should ONLY be run when no one else in SyteLine.)
Re run the planning activity.  The planner should now be in charge of Firm and or Released Jobs.  To confirm, go to the Job Orders form.  Note that the 'scheduled' box is not ticked for any released Job.

Note: This also applies to Firm Jobs if the Schedule Firm Jobs check box has been checked on the Shop Floor Control Parameters form.
