Question : On Submission of Production Order, we are getting following error message.
Answer : Please check if you have updated Working Hours in the Workstation master? If not, then please update it and then try to submit Production Order. On submission of Production Order, Operations (as added in the BOM) are allocated on the workstation. Each operation should start and end on the same day. If a system is not able to schedule that operation in a day, then system request you to divide that Project, so that system can allocate smaller operations in a day. If you have update working hours in the Workstation, but still getting this issue, that because one of your operation is taking too long, and cannot be completed in a day. Please divide that operation into smaller operations, so that it can be allocated on Workstation and completed on the same day.
