View Scheduled Plan

Explanation

This activity is used to view the scheduled plan for a work order. Once the work orders which are transferred to the Scheduling Engine are scheduled, an allocation plan is returned to IFS Applications. If the suggested plan is suitable you can assign the work order to the employee (referred to as resource in 360 Scheduling) who is to execute the work. If the suggested plan does not meet the requirements, you can choose to wait for the next broadcast of the plan or manually change the plan in the 360 iSWB (Internet Scheduling Work Bench, which is the web based user interface for 360 Scheduling. Note: If scheduling is done in the SDS (Scheduling Dispatch Service), the allocated work orders will be assigned (or unassigned) automatically to the employees suggested by the SDS based on the given scheduling rules. Therefore, the work orders that are scheduled by the SDS will be returned in the Assigned status and the Executed By field on the work order will be set to the suggested employee's ID.

The scheduled plan will include the following data as received from the Scheduling Engine:
