Planning query

navdemon

Hi ,

I have a question regarding the planning functionality.
I created an absence for a work center using the registered absence facility.

This absence is even reflected in the shop calendar for that work center.

But for some reason , when i run planning and carry out the suggested action messages, the work center load reflects that
the firm planned order will run during the time period during which the absence was registered earlier as well.
Why does this happen?

Ideally nothing should be allocated to that time slot of the work center when the work center is down right?

It's not enough to register absence you also have to implement the absence otherwise it has no effect.

I do remember implementing the absence. I will still go ahead and try it again. But is there anything else I need to do after that so that production orders do not get planned during that absence.

No it should be enough. If you look in the load for the machine you should'nt get any load if you dont have data in the capacity field.

What if there are existing orders already scheduled and then we implement an absence. How will NAV handle that? Or as a planner what can be done to take care of the existing planned orders

NAV won't reschedule the order automaticaly. You need to reschedule the affected prod.orders yourself. Some of them might already have ledgers so then you change manually in the routing. If no ledgers exist then you can refresh it and it will be rescheduled.
