What is a scheduler?
The scheduler is the calculation engine that plans and prioritizes production and purchasing. It does it automatically, according to the rules defined on products. By default, the scheduler is set to run once a day.
Calculating Requirements / Scheduling
Scheduling only validates procurements that are confirmed but not yet started. These procurement reservations will start production, tasks or purchases themselves, depending on the configuration of the requested product.
As a human would do, the scheduler takes the priority of operations into account when starting reservations and procurements. Urgent requests will be started first.
Note
In case there are not enough products in stock to satisfy all the requests, you can be sure that the most urgent ones will be produced first.
