The rescheduling tolerance refers to a scheduling difference between<\/p>\n
below which the ERP or scheduling system should not display a rescheduling proposal.<\/p>\n
More powerful ERP or scheduling systems inform users by suggesting rescheduling that a current order or production order no longer corresponds to the demand situation and should therefore be brought forward, postponed or canceled. The need for rescheduling always arises when the requirements for purchase orders or production orders have been postponed.<\/p>\n
Current orders or production orders can no longer be changed automatically by the system, as they require consultation with the supplier or production. The ERP or scheduling system therefore alerts users to the need for action by suggesting rescheduling.<\/p>\n
The number of daily rescheduling proposals can quickly become very large and therefore confusing. In such cases, the rescheduling tolerance makes it possible to ignore postponements to which users cannot react anyway.<\/p>\n
Normally, the rescheduling tolerance can be set item-specifically and different values can be defined for tolerances “forwards” and tolerances “backwards”.<\/p>\n
