Force Reschedule

Force Reschedule

The Manufacture Order Entry window only allows Scheduling/Rescheduling an MO in Quote or Open Status. Once the MO is Released it can only be rescheduled if it can be changed back to Open status, and if there have been Component Transactions or other activity recorded on the MO the MO Status cannot be changed to Open. The Force Reschedule Tweak by-passes these controls on the MO Entry window so that MOs with Status Released, Hold or Partially Received can be Rescheduled. Rescheduling updates the required date on the Picklist and the Routing Start/Stop Dates/Times.
