Have you considered using the move or Queue times on the routing
operation?  This can be used to add time or overlap prior operations with
negative time.

It may not be realistic; but wouldn't it be great if we could make it and
ship it all in the same day.

Also on 4.05CD and planning on visiting Al Mac, though he doesn't know it
yet :)

I have a very closely-related question.  Knowing the restrictions on
lead-time fields (shop calendar vs. calendar year), how does BPCS schedule
stuff?  That sounds like a stupid question, but when using capacity
planning, etc., is it using the calculated manufacturing times from the
router or just the lead time on the item master/CIC file?  In my case, the
actual manufacturing time for, say, a batch of 100 pieces (which is actual
lot size, in general) is relatively short - less than 8 hours.  BPCS wants
to release the shop order on the same day it's due, even though the lead
time stated on both the item master and CIC files is 7 days (to account
for
capacity shortfalls, manning issues, etc.)

Thanks - Rob
