Schedule Sequencer 1-2

Scheduling Sequencers are used by the optimization wizard located on the toolbar of the Master Production Calendar and provide planners with an option to prioritize how items on active production Jobs should be scheduled. Two sequence levels are available and each item may be assigned to one Schedule Sequence 1 and one Schedule Sequence 2. The optimization wizard will search for items assigned to level 1 sequences first, then assign Jobs containing these items to the appropriate Work Center or Shop Area. Next, the optimization wizard will search for items assigned to level 2 sequences (after items with level 1 sequences have been assigned) and then assign Jobs containing these items to the appropriate Work Center or Shop Area.

Once scheduling sequences have been created they may be selected via the search boxes in the "Schedule Sequencer 1" and "Schedule Sequencer 2" fields located on the Item Master General 1 tab. In situations where scheduling sequences need to be assigned to multiple Item Master records, the spreadsheet option in the "Change From" field via Inventory > Price Updates may be used.

Note: The schedule sequencer 1 option can also be used with the scheduled changeover feature.
