One of our team members is having a scheduling nightmare.
We have an order for 20 parts (1 line on the sales order and one line in job entry) with one delivery date of 11/20/22. Our customer would like 4 parts earlier than this delivery date (8/20/22). I set the delivery date to 8/20/22 but it wants to schedule all 20 parts to this date and this is pushing other orders way off schedule. If I add releases with multiple dates it still takes the earliest date and schedules all 20 parts.
How can I get this to schedule different qty’s with different dates.
Thank you in advance,
You can’t have a single job with multiple dates. If you want to separate out the scheduling, you’ll need to create multiple jobs with one job per delivery date.
You CAN have multiple jobs linked to a single sales order release… so your release of 20 pieces could have Job1 with 4 parts shipping on 8/20 and Job2 with 16 parts shipping on 11/20.
@dgibbons @Ernie There must be another value making it into one job like days of supply. If you have two releases and set them both as make direct then it will should make you two jobs.
We have a glitch in our system so we have to create our own job numbers. Is this going to affect invoicing or making packing list to match the customers order?

As long as the job numbers are different from each other, it shouldn’t matter to Epicor. They just need to be different jobs in order to schedule separately. You can create the jobs themselves manually and then create Demand Links for the sales order releases.
THEORETICALLY… it should not affect invoicing or packing… but you’d need to test the process out in your PILOT or TEST environment to make sure you get the results you’re looking for.
