I have some general questions regarding how MSO handles shop order and operation statuses.
As far as I understand, MSO mainly considers shop orders in Planned status. However, the Planned status only exists on the shop order header level, while MSO schedules the individual operations. This is where I am currently a bit confused, especially regarding the interaction between the shop order status and the operation status.
My questions are:
When material is reserved, the shop order header status changes to Reserved. How does MSO handle these shop orders? Are they still considered for scheduling/rescheduling, or are they treated differently?
When material is issued, the shop order header status changes to Started. What is the expected MSO behavior in this case?
Also, what happens if an operation has already been started, but material has not yet been reserved or issued? How should MSO handle such a scenario?
From my understanding, operations that have already been started should not be rescheduled by MSO. However, I have noticed that changing the demand date or changing the operation time can cause the shop order to be rescheduled once the background job is executed → even a fixed operation seems to be unfixed and rescheduled.
Is this the standard behavior?
As an example, let’s assume a company has shop orders from the past that are already started. How should these be handled in MSO? If the demand date is moved into the future, would MSO schedule them again as soon as possible, even though they are already started?
General: Is there a difference on which level the scheduling will be execute (finite scheduling shop orders . resource schedule on smart manufacturing schedule, shop order schdeule on manual mode)
In addition, I would like to understand why the schedule status sometimes shows Maintenance, even though it is a normal shop order operation
Whats the meaning of the exclamation mark in my picture down below?
Has anyone experienced similar behavior or can explain how MSO is expected to handle these different status combinations? Also sometimes i feel like MSO is giving different results even though nothing on the basic data side was changed.
