Definition

Indicates whether the system calculates forwards or backwards when shifting demands to the next possible time slot.

Use

You have the following options:

  • If you choose Forward Scheduling, the following applies:
    • If you have selected a complex demand with multiple operations, the system retains the relationship between the operations while calculating forwards starting with the new start date of the first operation to determine the start and end dates of the subsequent operations.
    • The system sets the Must Start On constraint on the first operation (single demand) within the complex demand.
    • If you have selected a single demand, the system sets the Must Start On constraint on the selected demand.
  • If you choose Backward Scheduling, the following applies:
    • If you have selected a complex demand with multiple operations, the system retains the relationship between the operations while calculating backwards starting with the new start date of the last operation to determine the start and end dates of the preceding operations.
    • The system sets the Must Finish On constraint on the last operation (single demand) within the complex demand.
    • If you have selected a single demand, the system sets the Must Finish On constraint on the selected demand.

Dependencies

Depending on the scheduling direction you choose, the system searches for possible time slots either in the time period spanning from the current demand start date to the end of the planning horizon (future) or in the time period spanning from the start of the planning horizon to the current demand start date (past).
