Batch Definitions
Use this form to tell the Scheduler how batches should be formed. This form has these tabs:
- General: Use this tab to specify the parameters that define how batches are formed. The separation rule describes what jobs or production schedules are batched together. The release rule and values describe when a batch will be released for processing. The release rule can be overridden, and you can specify a periodic review of that process.
- Operations: This read-only tab lists the operations associated with this batch definition, as defined on the Batch Definition Operations form. The operations are defined on the Batch Definition Operations form.
- Batched Productions: This display-only tab lists any manually created batched productions (jobs/production schedules) associated with the selected batch definition. The batched productions are defined on the Batched Productions form.
Specify an item for the batch definition, because the operations require a job internally, and that job requires an item, and it uses that item in the job table.
When you delete a batch definition, the job created by the batch definition is also deleted by a trigger.
The exception to this type of batch formation is the manual construction of batches, or batched production. To define batched productions, click .
