You can reschedule operations to resolve exceptions in bottleneck job operations. You have the option to change scheduling direction, and start dates. Material and resource requirement dates are also updated. Use Oracle planning products to reschedule discrete jobs by modifying discrete job operations, importing modified jobs and schedules, and replanning planned orders using Oracle planning products.

   To reschedule an operation:

1. Navigate to the Reschedule Operation page.

   Information displays in fields for Job, Job Description, Operation Sequence, Operation Description, and Actual Start and Completion Dates.

2. Select a direction in the Scheduling Direction field, choices are:

   • Forward: Scheduling begins at the start date and calculates a production end date.

   • Backward: Scheduling begins at the production end date and calculates a production start date.

3. Select a value in the Include in Scheduling field, used to set the automatic scheduling option. Choices are:

   • Backward from operation (Midpoint Backward): Moves only the selected and prior operations, keeping them in sequence, when a time slot is located to move this specified operation. Next operations are not rescheduled.

   • Both directions from operation (Midpoint): Reschedules all prior and next operations when a time slot is found for the operation. Prior operations are backward scheduled. Next operations are forward scheduled.

   • Forward from operation (Midpoint Forward): Moves only the selected and next operations, keeping them in sequence, when a time slot is located to move this specified operation. Prior operations are not rescheduled.

   • Operation Only: Only the operation that is selected is scheduled. Prior and next operations are not rescheduled.
