Production - Job scheduling (class form)
Applies To: Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 R3, Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 R2, Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 Feature Pack, Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012
Click Production control > Periodic > Scheduling > Job scheduling.
Use this form to create and run a job schedule. As opposed to operations scheduling, which gives you a general estimate of the production process over time, job scheduling gives you a detailed schedule that considers the current capacity.
If you are also using operations scheduling, job scheduling is performed after operations scheduling. This lets an operation include times for individual tasks. An accurate and detailed schedule is created, because you can control the following factors in the process:
The queue time before the operation
The setup time
The process run time
The overlap time
The transport time
The queue time after the operation is completed

The following tables provide descriptions for the controls in this form.
Tabs
Tab |
Description |
---|---|
Overview |
View the list of productions to be job scheduled. If you select Scheduling in the Production orders form, the selected production is displayed. You can select another production by clicking Select. |
General |
Select criteria for running the job scheduling. This includes the scheduling direction, date, and whether to include references, finite material, and finite capacity. |
Cancellation |
Select the job types that you do not want to include in the job scheduling. |
Batch |
Set up the job scheduling to run as a batch job. |
Buttons

Description |
---|---|
Select |
Open a query that has a range of production orders. Select a production order for job scheduling, and then click OK to add it to the list on the Overview tab. |
Default values |
Open the Set up job scheduling form, where you can set up standard default values to use when you run a job scheduling. For more information, see Set up job scheduling (form). |
Sorting |

Fields
Field |
Description |
---|---|
Production |
Select the production to schedule. If you opened this form from the Production orders form, the selected production is displayed. You can select a different production by clicking Select. You can select productions that have any production status except Reported as finished or Cost accounted. |
Scheduling direction |
Specify the scheduling direction to use for the production order. Select from the following options:
|
Scheduling date |
The date that is used when you select Forward from scheduling date or Backward from scheduling date in the Scheduling direction field. |
Time |
The time when the scheduling will occur. |
Job identification |
The job that the scheduling is based on. |
Reschedule single job |
Select this check box to reschedule the selected job. This check box is available only for production orders that have already been scheduled.
Note This control is available only if Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 R2 or AX 2012 R3 is installed. |
New resource |
The new resource to use for the job that is specified in the Job identification field. |
Primary resource selection |
Select the scheduling engine optimization strategy to use. Select from the following options:
|
Schedule references |
Select this check box if you want to schedule reference productions. Reference productions are scheduled according to the main production. In relation to the current production, overlying productions are scheduled forward, and underlying productions are scheduled backward. You can view production order references in the Reference level field in the Production orders form. |
Synchronize references |
Select this check box if the productions that are related to the production that is specified in the Production field are scheduled based on the starting times and ending times for production. This check box is available only if the Schedule references check box is selected. When you set up job scheduling, you specify the job that all other jobs for the production and reference productions are scheduled according to. |
Finite capacity |
Select this check box if you want the job scheduling to include capacity limits. |
Finite material |
Select this check box if you want the job scheduling to consider materials as finite. If the materials are finite, the coverage of material for that time is considered. Scheduling considers the item futures dates for the items, reserves the raw materials, and explodes the current production. If scheduling occurs more than one time, only the first scheduling explodes the production and makes reservations. If you change the bill of materials or the route for the production, the next scheduling runs an explosion. The explosion is based on the calculation of materials that are required on the scheduling date. Because the production is not scheduled at the time of the master schedule explosion, the current date is used as the best estimate of when the items will become available. The explosion verifies whether the items are on hand. If the items are not on hand by the current date, a planned order is generated, and an offset selection is made for the planned order. If automatic firming is set up for the planned order, the planned order is firmed automatically for purchase or production. The status for production automatically changes to the status that is specified in the Requested production status field in the Coverage group form. Clear this check box if you want the materials to always be considered on-hand materials. |
Finite property |
Select this check box if you want the job scheduling to include property requirements. |
Cancel queue time |
Select this check box if you do not want to schedule queue time. |
Cancel setup |
Select this check box if you do not want to schedule setup time. |
Cancel process |
Select this check box if you do not want to schedule run time. |
Cancel overlap |
Select this check box if you do not want to schedule overlap time. |
Cancel transport |
Select this check box if you do not want to schedule transit time. |
Late selection |
If you set up batch processing to recur indefinitely, select this check box to process new production orders.
Note This control is available only if Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 R2 or AX 2012 R3 is installed. |
