Freezing Time Constraints Overview

How to Navigate: Click on Planning > Planning Rules Config > Freezing Time Constraints


Summary

On this page users can add/edit Freezing Time Constraints for the planning system. These records include a freezer location, a default travel time (from the plant) and a default freeze time. Using this information, the planning system can determine when frozen product can be shipped to the customer. This page also allow users to choose a specific product that must be shipped to a freezer location if necessary. Selecting a record from the list will highlight it in yellow and populate its information in the fields on the bottom half of the screen. These fields are read-only until a user clicks 'Add' or 'Edit'. Once a user does this, they can be used for data entry.
