Resource Scheduling Board showing overloaded but capacity is ava

Yahoo Archive

We are running 8.03.409C. I do recall having issues with scheduling on the ...408 series. I can't say if they were the same as what you are seeing, but we were seeing one area showing one date while another area showed a different date.

Something else you want to make sure you are running is the 'Fill Shop Capacity Records' process, which will keep your load report current.

We saw a number of different issues throughout the 408 series. We have been pretty happy since moving to 409C. Maybe something to consider.

Hello: We are on 8.03.408 and are having problems with the resource scheduling board showing dates in red signaling that the resources are overloaded when in fact, there is nothing scheduled for those dates. When you run the shop load report, load for those days is 0.00.
So your scheduling board ends up displaying a group of days where nothing appears to be scheduled but the dates appear in red conveying that those dates are overloaded.

How is it possible for one tool (scheduling board) to tell you a resource is overload and push out when jobs can be run and a different report tells you that load is 0.00. Does the resource scheduling board pull it's load information from a different table than is used by the shop load report?

Has anyone else experienced this problem? Any suggestions on how I resolve this issue?

Double check the color..the late and the overload are very similar
shades out of the box...(user preference icon right under the actions
menu. In my opinion the scheduling board is not to best tool for
viewing load capacities by resource. Most of the Vantage tools that are
in dashboard form aren't very accurate for viewing true finite loads. I
can't say for certain which table the board is getting its information
from. The actual resources that are assigned to a given operation, and
the division of time and dates are stored on the resourcetimeused table.
I'm pretty sure that would the table that the progress shop load report
looks at. Moreover, there's a reason it's a progress report... it has
some unique properties that make it difficult to use with a crystal
report. I'm pecking away at that as we speak, but haven't gotten it
worked out yet.

capacity is available





Hello: We are on 8.03.408 and are having problems with the resource
scheduling board showing dates in red signaling that the resources are
overloaded when in fact, there is nothing scheduled for those dates.
When you run the shop load report, load for those days is 0.00.
So your scheduling board ends up displaying a group of days where
nothing appears to be scheduled but the dates appear in red conveying
that those dates are overloaded.

How is it possible for one tool (scheduling board) to tell you a
resource is overload and push out when jobs can be run and a different
report tells you that load is 0.00. Does the resource scheduling board
pull it's load information from a different table than is used by the
shop load report?

Has anyone else experienced this problem? Any suggestions on how I
resolve this issue?

Thanks for the suggestion Rob but it's not the colors of the job it is the actual dates at the top of the scheduling board that are changing from gray to Red.

An even bigger problem is that I have a resource where I have 2 consecutive days (7/11 & 7/12) where nothing is scheduled (nothing showing on resource scheduling board & shop load report for those days shows 0.00 load). Available capacity is 9.0 hours & 10.0 hrs respectively. Today I try and forward, finite schedule a job that only requires 4.78 hours and instead of scheduling the job for 7/11 it schedules it for 7/13. Why would it leave 2 days blank in my schedule with 19 hrs available capacity and not schedule a job that would only use 4.78 hours? If I can't get this resolved, scheduling will be useless if the system will not fill up open hours! I have seen this on more than 1 resource so it is not just a glitch for this resource.

Clearly I am missing something or possibly a known bug for 8.03.408?

Look in job scheduling priority code maintenance, verify the the code
that is assigned to the job, is the minimize wip check box checked? If
it is.. try unchecking it and rescheduling.
