IA Production & Scheduling is a live graphical production planning board for SAP Business One. Our Production Planner for SAP Business One is fully cloud-based with no add-on install, and works with all standard SAP production orders.
The system plans by forward-scheduling your production order operations into the resources Single Run Capacity in SAP Business One and calculating the planned work order completion dates.
The planning board will plot capacity daily and can account for queue times, overlapping operations, and capacity constraints to show where overloads exist. The board will also give a real-time MRP view of all material availability for all production order on a time-phased basis with indicators to show if the production order can be kitted on its start date and immediately.
Selecting a specific day and resource will show the footprint of the load, allowing drag & drop adjustment, or an auto schedule to remove the overload. It is also possible to group the board by project and/or Sales Order, giving a complete 360-degree view of supply from production.

Usually factors like ‘Number of People’ will not be included in the single run calculation if that department predominately works on jobs individually. The total capacity of the department would multiply up by that factor.
