Production Scheduling Methods

We can choose the scheduling method for production in a Work Order.

1. Forward Scheduling: Under this method, the user can set the production start date. The production end date will be automatically set by Netsuite after considering time, units, resources etc.

2. Backward Scheduling:  Under this method, the user can set the production End date. The production Start date will be automatically set by Netsuite after considering time, units, resources etc.

Default scheduling method can be set under the Production planning, Scheduling and Allocation section of Manufacturing preferences.
