Scheduling Parameter Indicators
Scheduling parameters are created for specific plants and network types. The scheduling parameters determine scheduling, for example, in the transactions network maintenance (CN22) and scheduling of the overall network (CN24). The indicators have the following meanings:
Customizing for Scheduling 2
The profile for WBS scheduling is used for scheduling in the project planning board transaction (CJ2B) or in the project scheduling transaction (CJ29).
The indicators have the following meanings:
- Scheduling Type
Determines the type of scheduling, for example, forward first, then backward.
- Start in the past
Determines how long ago (in days) the start date can be. If it is more than the specified number of days, scheduling is carried out for today’s date.
- Scheduling form
Specifies which object - network header or WBS element - is used as a basis for scheduling.
- Adjust basic dates
Determines that the scheduled dates are copied to the basic dates of the WBS elements after a scheduling run.
- Log automatic
If a log is generated, it is displayed automatically.
- Shift order
Determines how the system deals with partially confirmed activities during scheduling.
- Schedule when saving
Scheduling is carried out on saving.
- Latest material dates
The requirements dates for a material are determined based on the earliest or latest date.
- Maximum reduction level
A reduction strategy can have up to six levels. The highest level of reduction is specified here.
- Reduction Type
The activity duration is reduced for either all activities or only those along the critical path are reduced.
The WBS scheduling profile is stored in the project definition control data. It can be copied as a default value from the project profile. One (or neither) of the two scheduling scenarios is displayed by default in the project profile.
