Work centers allocate same time/day slots for multiple Firm Planned/Released orders

Kay01

Please help me with this scenario -
I make 2 Firm Planned Production Orders with the same Due Date and use the Scheduling Direction = Back option.
When I check the Work center Load for each of the production orders, I can see that their Work centers have allocated same time/day slots for both the orders.
I change the status to Released for both orders and check the Work Center Load again. I can see that their Work centers have allocated same time/day slots for both the released orders.
Shouldn't I be getting an overlapping error or some warning like that. Is my understanding wrong?

You need to enable finite loading by using the "Capacity Constrained Resourses" table, see the following link...

There's a bit more on this at the end of the following link too (explains how the "Dampner Time" field affects operating splitting)...

Great, if it works (which it should do) then please mark my original post as having answered the question.
