Manufacturing Production Run Schedule

Yoke Power
Hi Ofbiz Users,

Context - Can Manufacturing Production Run be scheduled to run
automatically at a particular time

Environment - http://ofbiz.apache.org --09.04 Stable Release

Steps -
- Create a sales order for a configurable Pizza
- Above step creates a production run in manufacturing
- Schedule the above production run for a future time <by clicking
Schedule link>
- Status of Production run changed to Scheduled
- Verify production run after time past the scheduled time
- Production run still in scheduled status


Question -
- Is this the expected behavior?
- I was hoping the production run to run at the scheduled time;
- Do I have to configure a Job Scheduler separately to take care of this?

Any inputs on this appreciated much

- Sakthi

Yes it can be done by custom arrangements like you already mentioned by configuring job scheduler.

Yes this is the expected behavior as at code level , there is no business rule written to run production run automatically once the Production Run is scheduled. It can be because this nature varies from one manufacturing firm to another. Just for eg: there is shortage in raw-materials needed for production run, in that case production run cannot be started and completed until and unless we procure materials.

Yes you have to configure job scheduler to achieve this.
