Once you have run the job schedule batch program, you can access the Job schedule file to check which of the jobs need to be executed. This file should be checked on a daily basis. The Period field indicates the period for which the jobs should be run. Note: The jobs can also be executed from the separate menu item selection for each job. The job types and recommended run frequencies are listed below:
| Type | Job | Run frequency |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Inventory calculations (forecast, EOQ, ROP, SST) | Once every forecast period |
| 2 | Purchase suggestion, purchase type 2 | Depends on data in Periodic purchase table |
| 3 | Purchase suggestion, purchase type 3 | Once every forecast period |
| 4 | Average stock level calculation | Once every forecast period |
| 5 | Supply plan calculation | Once every supply plan period |
Note: Records in this file are not automatically deleted. You manually delete an old job schedule record by selecting it and clicking Delete on the detail panel. It is recommended that you delete old records on a regular basis.
- Select the Work with job schedule file menu item.
- You access Job schedule file maintenance. Select the job you want to execute.
- The system either displays the details for the job you selected, or requests you to click OK directly. Complete any relevant fields and click OK to execute the job.
See About working with inventory calculations, About working with purchase suggestions (DC1 Inventory Control) and About working with average stock level calculations for detailed information about the specific jobs and their fields.
When the system is finished, the Executed field indicates that the job has been executed. Exit the routine.
