Finally, if the user wants to see yet more detail, they can use the Hourly Scheduler which
will display the order reference number associated with each 15 minute period in the
selected day for each facility.
When a user is prepared to schedule an event, they can access the Event Scheduler. This
screen will allow them to specify a sales order or purchase order to schedule for a specific
facility. If they access the Facility Scheduler from a Sales Order or Purchase Order,
the system will default to the order from which they accessed the scheduler. It is also
possible to schedule the facility for an event that is not driven from a sales order or a
purchase order.
They can then specify the date and time for which the facility will be scheduled. They
can also add comments. Again, if the Facility Scheduler is invoked from an order, the
comment will default to show the sales order number, the trading partner, the due
date of the order and the ship via for the order. A second comment provides space to
identify further details such as truck numbers or contact information. The system
automatically stores the code of the user that scheduled the event.
