We are currently working in test environment and having trouble with finite resources. Despite the resource being finite and clicking finite when we run global scheduling, the resource becomes overloaded (see screenshot).
The resource in the attached screenshot has an 16 hour a day calendar and is marked finite, and the resource, group and site all have a finite horizon that goes long past the date in question. We showed our consultant and she went over our settings with us and attempted to re-schedule, but couldn’t figure out the issue either.
By Default the Late Color and OverLoad Color are VERY close. Can you change one of them to another color to confirm those jobs are actually late. I think they are but it is hard to tell in the screenshot.
Also, review the Overload Informer as you should see more information on the capacity.
Also, can you confirm what version you are on?
Thanks
Are you scheduling the jobs finitely? Or, are these plans (unfirm jobs) created through MRP?
It is possible (and is an excellent tool, by the way) to schedule jobs infinitely across finite resources. It is also possible to be selective about what operations are scheduled finitely versus infinite.
I apologize for the delay in response. We are suddenly unable to run global scheduling, it keeps freezing. Will post the logs when the situation is resolved.
