    Schedule endtime  Same as start time above, but for the end time.
    Scheduling on non-applicable resources

    Parameter to determine what the system should do in case a user tries to plan scheduling on a resource that is not applicable. Options are:

    Project Planning

    Budget model

    Selects a budget model. The budget model selected should also be used in the production orders and/or the project activities. Only orders/activities scheduled against this budget model are visualized.

    Scheduling direction

    Planning forward schedules from a start date forward. (The standard for work centers / service with assignments that take only one day).  Backward counts back starting at the date the assignment has to be finished

    This parameter will be used as the standard by posting an assignment as "planned"

    Finite capacity

    This checkbox generally enables/disables finite capacity scheduling. (As a parameter to the AX scheduling engine). All rescheduling actions are performed with this setting. When scheduling with "finite capacity", a task will be moved to a "free" time slot. There it might not end up to be

    scheduled on the exact point in time it was dropped! 

    Production Planning

    Move reservations

    During a drop of a production order, all tasks on the target work center with an end date greater than the drop date/time are scheduled "Forward from previous job" with preservation of the scheduling order.
