Fixed capacity load for preventive maintenance order in CM25

[patrickpittoors]

Hi all,

I have a scenario where I integrate preventive maintenance orders in my production order planning board. The case I would like to have is that the preventive maintenance order is fixed (shown in black in CM25 - this is OK) and that the production orders are automatically scheduled around this preventive maintenance order. So the maintenance order has a fixed date and time, but production orders don't.

If however I use the background deallocate and dispatch functionality (via CM40), the preventive maintenance order is also getting dispatched along with the production orders, so the start date/time of the preventive maintenance order is changed as well.

Is there an option which allows background processing of deallocate/dispatch which keeps the maintenance order on the fixed time and schedules the production orders around that maintenance order?

Thanks for any input on this!
