1. Make sure you can find SSA's on-line documentation (menu DOC / 2 / SSA ?
? such as member SSARUN02 in file BPCSDOC (WRKOBJ will tell you what
LIBRARY it is in - I prefer to access it via PDM)

2. FIND DAYS IN SSARUN02 (SEU Search is not case sensitive)

3. Compare explanations of various fields that are time sensitive to
corresponding values in your system, for example:
    * Allowance for Setup Time
    * Queue days in work center before work starts there
    * Move days can be negative to support overlapping operations
Do the FSO orders have multiple type-1 (as opposed to type-3 notes) FRT /
FOD Operations?

Are you aware that in multiple operations, BPCS assumes each operation will
go to absolute conclusion before any work starts at next operation, unless
the routings allow otherwise?

You can adjust the operations schedule in shop packet after shop order
released, to behave a little differently than the routings call for.
