When using the APB, it appears to be ignoring the “Queue Time” field on Shop Order Operations when performing a reschedule. Is it true that this field is not considered when the APB schedules operations?

The APB will determine and insert a “CBS Queue Time” when it [re]schedules based on resource/labor constraints. However, we are seeing this CBS Queue Time does not appear to consider the [manually entered] “Queue Time” field on the shop order operation at all. 

We would like to use “Queue Time” in conjunction with the APB but are so far unsuccessful. If this field is not used/considered by the APB we may need another way to manually add queue time while also doing CBS via the APB. (It may be possible to use Transport Time as a possible alternative to Queue Time if the APB considers Transport Time…)

Queue time for Shop Order Operations is not considered in any finite scheduling solutions within IFS, including APB and MSO.

CBS Queue time was utilized by the CBS solution, which has been discontinued from the Apps10 release.

Queue time is primarily intended to facilitate "manual detailed scheduling" on the shop floor when the ERP system does not provide detailed scheduling (In shop order infinite schedular). With advanced finite scheduling software like APB or MSO, which creates an optimized and finite schedule, the shop floor can follow this schedule, eliminating the need for manual adjustments.

Additionally, transport time will be considered in APB schedule. If the functional requirement is to create a time gap between operations, User can define it as a transport time.
