Use the Is Late field

You are here:

The Is Late in Graphical Scheduler provides you with late categories and the ability to automatically categorize orders as late. You can find the flag under the Is Late field (field 7009791 IWX Sched. Is Late) on the production order, and the late category as the Late Category field (field 70097922 IWX Sched. Late Category).

Original Due Date

You can populate the Original Due Date field (IWX Sched. Original Due Date) manually or the field updates to match the Due Date field’s current date value if you manually change the Due Date field. You can alter the original due date later to allow for data corrections. An order is considered late when its due date passes the Original Due Date (field 70097920 IWX Sched. Original Due Date). Whenever the due date on the order passes the Original Due Date, the Is Late flag is set on the order.

Late Rules

You can define Late Categories in Graphical Scheduler Late Rules and allow different criteria to be set for degrees of lateness (e.g., one day late versus several days late). You can then use the Is Late and Late Category fields to filter by the production planner to help identify orders that need attention by having their due date miss the original expected due date. You can also use the Is Late and Late Category fields to color code the degrees of lateness by creating styles, filtered to those degrees of lateness.

  1. Navigate to Graphical Scheduler Late Rules in Business Central.
  2. Select +New and input the following:
    1. Code
    2. Later Than
    3. Comment (optional)
  3. Repeat the previous step for additional late rules, as needed.

    The Prod. Order Routing Line table also has fields in this area, yet I cannot get the Orig. Due Date to populate and presumably therefore cannot benefit from the ‘Is Late’ or ‘Late Category’ fields having a value.

    This is unfortunate as it would be of great benefit to set up the View such that Prod. Order Routing Lines get different colors when the ‘Sched. Is Late’ variable is TRUE.

    As it stands, I cannot find a way to configure color change to reflect that capacity has been moved later than the original due date.

      Hello Dave,

      The released production order has a “Due Date” at the top right. You can think of this as the “current” due date.

      Meanwhile, if you look further below on the production order in the “Schedule” section, you will see another field called “Original Due Date”. If this date is before the “Due Date” then the “Is Late” setting will automatically be set to ON.

      Then you are able to get some conditional formatting as you configure this on the view of the Graphical Scheduler, in the “Configure Styles in This view”.

      Note that the “Is late” setting will apply to all routing lines of that production order.

      Thank you,
