View Scheduled Plan
Explanation
This activity is used to view the scheduled plan for a
work task. Once the work task activities 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 task activity to the
suggested resource 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 Scheduling
Workbench.
Note: If scheduling is done in the Schedule Dispatch Service (SDS), the
allocated work task activities will be assigned (or unassigned) automatically to the
resources suggested by the SDS based on the given scheduling rules.
Therefore, the work tasks that are scheduled by the SDS will be returned in the
Assigned status and a work assignment will be created and assigned to the suggested
resource.
The scheduled plan will include the following data as
received from the Scheduling Engine:
- The Activity Identification from scheduling.
- The identification of the dataset and the dataset description.
- The identification of the the scheduled plan.
- The date for when the scheduled plan was sent from scheduling.
- The suggested start and end dates for the work
task activities (referred to as activity in PSO).
- Whether the work task activity is fixed to the given start
date and time.
- The duration (in hours) of the work task activity.
- The identity of the resource who is to execute the work, if this
resource is set as a fixed resource for the work task resource demand. When a
work task activity is transferred with a work assignment already created, this
resource is transferred as committed to the Scheduling Engine.
- The identity of the resource who is suggested to
be allocated to the work task.
- The status of the scheduled work task activity.
- The scheduling base value.
- The primary scheduling type that is assigned to
the work task.
- The earliest time and/or the latest time the work
task can be scheduled to start in order to meet the requirements of the
primary scheduling type.
- The secondary scheduling type that is assigned to
the work task.
- The earliest time and/or the latest time the work
task can be scheduled to start in order to meet the requirements of the
secondary scheduling type.
Prerequisites
To perform this activity, the work task must have been
scheduled in the Scheduling Engine and an allocation plan must have been
returned for it. If the work task could not be scheduled, an allocation will not be returned and the scheduling status will be set to Unallocated.
System Effects
As a result of this activity, the scheduled plans are
examined and work assignments can be created for the work tasks, if applicable.
