An overview on where to find the settings around dispatch scheduling calculations.
- Job tracking Line covers how long each Inventory group takes to complete
Settings → WorkFlow Timing & Tracking Settings → Job tracking Line
Tracking Lead Time | This is the minimum number of days before production can commence to allow for ordering of fabric & components. So even if there is no production nothing will be scheduled on this Job Tracking Line until on or after the Lead Time. Enter 0 (zero) for immediate start. |
Days to complete | Arrive in Factory - Finished production (Includes public holidays) |
Production capacity | For each day of the week the number of minutes production that can be carried out on the day. 480 minutes = 8 hours x 60 minutes This is so that different products can be manufactured on the same Production Line e.g. Roller Blinds and Romans. If number of units is the preferred count then set Capacity to the number of units and in the Inventory Group set Production Standard Time to 1 (one). |
2. Settings → Inventory Groups → Groups
| Production Extra Days | Adds extra days to production/Job tracking days. Allows you to have multiple products with different lead times on 1 job tracking line |
| Install Standard Minutes | This is the time in minutes that items from this group are allocated to install. (If you dont require dispatch for this group set this to -1) |
| Multiply install minutes by Square Metres | If this is ticked the Install Time is Per Square Metre, not per item. |
| Check Measure Lead days | This is the lead time in days it takes to complete a check measure form when order is accepted to check measure complete |
| Production standard minutes | This is the time in minutes it takes to manufacture this group |
| Check Measure standard minutes | This is the time in minutes it takes the check measure this group |
