Hello everyone.

Do you know that we can use “Manufacturing execution” together with scheduling on the operation level. If in the form “Production order defaults” the field “Job level” is set to Route, you can manage jobs which are created based on production orders' routes, not jobs. Also you have to activate the "Setup" or/and “Process” fields in the same form. Important: you must set up the system in this way before production orders are scheduled. 

What is my idea?

When we schedule production orders at the job level, we can setup which types of jobs have to be displayed in the “Production floor execution” form and which ones don't. If we want jobs to be displayed, we need to activate the field “Job management” in the “Route group” form. This opportunity is useful when we use secondary operations. 

But when production orders are scheduled at the operation level, the system doesn’t take into account the setup of the “Route group” form. As a result, we see all jobs and we can’t hide any of them. It could create difficulties when we use secondary operations.

If the system takes into account the setup of the “Route group” form in this case too, it will give us more opportunities.
