pd,

Unless you are using BPCS Finite Forward Scheduling (MRP640), none of the 
planning or shop order releasing will take capacity constraints into 
consideration when assigning start/completion dates. Finite Forward 
Scheduling requires you to assign all the work centers associated to a 
routing to a Production Line in the Work Center Master (CAP100), and does 
not work well unless the most critical work center is the first operation 
on the routing (there is too much to Finite Forward Scheduling to write it 
up here, you just need to know that the program will "level load" a 
Production Line to maximize capacity, but may cause some orders to finish 
late). 

The best thing for you to do is to use Capacity Planning by running CAP600 
directly after MRP600 and reviewing each of your work centers in CAP300 
(check the profile view first, the work center calculated capacity is on 
the "X" axis, and the planned/scheduled load is on the "Y" axis and if the 
graft has no red flashing columns, you aren't overloaded). If you see a 
period that is flashing red, "click" on the column and press F4 to see the 
orders that are causing the problem. Then you can either adjust the 
capacity by scheduling overtime, or off load some of the work to other 
work centers, or reschedule noncritical orders.

The tool to use if you are only working on an individual shop order would 
be to use program SFC350, enter action code "13" to check Capacity 
Availability for the item you will be making. When you get to screen 
SFC350D3-1, tab to the quantity field and enter the quantity you will be 
making and press "Enter". The bottom part of the screen will display how 
much setup and run time will be required to make the order. Now, key "5" 
into the "Act" field next to one of the operations on the displayed 
routing. This will take you to CAP300. Type "11" in the "Act" field next 
to the work center for your operation, and press enter. You will now see 
the capacity profile for that work center and you can make an intelligent 
decision about where your new order will fit (based on the number of hours 
calculated by SFC350). Neat, but it requires you to do some work. Good 
luck.

Hi,
  
The question was related to execution phase in manufacturing, when planned 
orders are converted to shop orders.

My question was, in planning phase, the release date is worked out from 
due date based on lead time maintained in item master for an item. 
However, how is it (Release date) worked out in execution phase, specially 
where routing is taken into consideration to check for capacity 
constraints & actual lead time ? How system works it out ? Whether it is 
LCR record that plays a role (input) in working out Release date based on 
given due date (in case of Backward scheduling) or whether FRT & LWK 
records play the role or is there any other mechanism/ Input which plays 
role in working out Release Date ?

Basically, whether the release date at planning phase & that at execution 
date can be different (based on actual lead time maintained through 
routing) ? if so, how is it worked out ?

regards,
Prashanth
