Unscheduled Manufacturing Orders

The Unscheduled Manufacturing Orders functionality allows production managers to remove planned manufacturing orders from the production schedule and add them back.

When a manufacturing order is unscheduled, workstation bookings are canceled. Thus, workstations can be used for other manufacturing orders.

When creating a new MO manually, it is possible to omit the MO from the production schedule and/or to skip part booking.

This functionality can be enabled at Settings -> System settings -> Professional functions -> Unscheduled manufacturing orders.

If the Unscheduled manufacturing orders functionality is enabled, then:

1. The buttons Add to schedule and Remove from the schedule are displayed in the MO details under the Operations section.
2. When creating a new manufacturing order, the option Do not book parts becomes available.
3. When creating a new manufacturing order, the option Do not book workstations becomes available.
4. A new MO status, Not Scheduled, has been introduced for manufacturing orders that are not on the production schedule.
5. The Gantt chart displays the Not Scheduled column. This column lists unscheduled manufacturing orders that can be dragged to the chart for scheduling.

Manufacturing orders can be unscheduled only before they are started.
