In the production route, we can specify if the link is Soft or Hard in the Link Type. In the help, it refers to “Link”. Anybody knows where this “link” parameter is located. Here is both Help text: Link type Here you select the Link type to the next job. See also Link. ------------------------------- Link Link specifies the link that the job was created with. A link tells how the current job is tied to the subsequent job. The following options exist: Blank - there is no link to the next job. StartStart - the job must start at the same time the next job starts. EndEnd - the job must end at the same time the next job ends. EndStart - the job must end at the same time the next job starts. StartEnd - the job must start at the same time the next job ends. Note. I am using 3.0 SP1 thank you, Danny
Hi Danny, I hope this will help u a lot. For each operation on the route, an attachment type can be specified, which may be soft or hard. The attachment type determines how the scheduling handles the link to the next operation, i.e. the operation number specified in the Next field. If the attachment type is set to Soft, there may be a time lapse between operation numbers. During scheduling of a production order, the system is then allowed to schedule the next operation later than the end time of the relevant operation. If the attachment type is set to Hard, no time lapse between operations is allowed. During scheduling of a production order, the system has to make sure that the start time for the subsequent operation equals the end time for the current operation. The only way to have a lapse between operations when using the attachment type Hard is if queue or transport time is used for the relevant operation. Thanks & regards Vaibhav Pednekar
thanks Vaibhav! Your explanation is clear. Danny
