Rebuilding Schedules
If you choose to rebuild a schedule, the existing schedule information for an item is overwritten, and the schedule is rebuilt based on the current plan, order, and receiving status.
You can rebuild schedules for either confirmed or unconfirmed schedule items as long as the associated schedule header has not been confirmed.
You can choose to rebuild one item or many items at the same time by using multi-select or the Select All menu option while your cursor is in the Items block.
Navigate to the Workbench window.
Retrieve the schedule for the item requirement that you want rebuild, using the Find option in the Build Supplier Schedule's window.
In the items region, select the item that you want to rebuild by putting your cursor anywhere in the record.
Click Rebuild Item.
Confirming Schedules
You can review and confirm new and revision schedules. You cannot confirm simulation schedules.
You can confirm schedules at the header level to confirm the schedule in one step or you can confirm the schedule at the line item level before confirming the header. Use the line item procedure if different schedulers must approve their assigned items before the schedule itself is confirmed. If you confirm all lines, the header is automatically confirmed.
You can delete unconfirmed schedule headers, and you can delete confirmed or unconfirmed schedule items if the associated header is not confirmed.
You cannot edit or delete a confirmed schedule.
The confirmed status is similar to a purchase order approval, and implies that the schedule is accurate and approved for distribution to the supplier.
All new planning and shipping schedules are created with a header and line item status of "In Process". As you complete the confirmation process, the status is changed to "Confirmed".
If the schedule header is still "In Process", you can optionally edit or delete the schedule, or delete and edit any line items.
If authorizations are enabled for any item and CUM Management is enabled for the ship-to organization, the highest authorization within the current CUM period is evaluated when the schedule, not the item, is confirmed.
To confirm a schedule at the header level:
Place your cursor in the Supplier Schedules header listing.
Click the Confirm Schedule button.
A dialog message will warn you if individual items on the schedule are unconfirmed, and will verify the confirmation action. You can optionally print and/or send the schedule at the same time.
To confirm a schedule at the line item level:
Navigate to the Items block of the Supplier Schedules window or to the Item Schedule window.
If your cursor is in the Supplier Schedules Items block of the Supplier Schedules window, you can optionally use multiselect to Confirm multiple items at one time or choose Select All from the menu.
If your cursor is in the Item Schedule window, you can only confirm the current cursor item.
Choose the Confirm Items button in the Supplier Schedules window, and respond to the action verification.
You cannot print at the same time that you confirm individual items; you can print and confirm at the same time only when you are confirming the header.
Printing Schedules
You can print a schedule at the same time that you confirm it.
Navigate to the Build Supplies Schedule window.
Select Find to search for the schedule to print.
The Supplier Schedules window opens.
Click Confirm Schedule. The Confirm Schedule window is displayed.
If you have already confirmed the schedule in a previous step and want only to print the schedule, select Print Schedule from the Tools menu.
Select Print Schedule.
Click Ok.
