Open a schedule
In Picaso, hit this icon: 
. It opens a list of Schedules:
Use the search to find the one you need.
Once you find the one you were looking for, hit: 
You may also create a schedule (hit:

Schedule properties
The schedule properties, beside its name and description, is mostly its a list of lines.
Use the 
icon to open the inventory of lines; and use the arrow keys to update the list of lines.
All lines show next to each other, in a sequence that is determined by the equipment "Unit Position"

Inserting a run on the schedule
From scratch
Position your cursor on the production line / existing run on that line. Right click and select "
". You may insert a run after or before an existing run.
Product / Formula
In that window, populate either the SKU, or the Picaso material & package code.
The default formula auto-populates. You may pick another valid formula if necessary. Valid means: within validity date & formula assigned to the relevant production line via production standard effectivity.
Start Date/Time
As per previous run (+transition), the new run can start Nov 27 at 7:15 am the earliest.
You may also anchor the new run to a given date/time (here, we indicate that we want the new run to start no earlier than Nov 30 at 8:15 am)
Quantity/Duration
Enter a quantity below:
It results in the duration of the run being recalculated as per rate (here, 0.4 MT/h), Up Time from the line (or Op, here = 80%), and yield (here = 100 %)
Duration = 10 MT / (0.4 MT/h) = 25 h.
However, a 80 % Up Time affects negatively the duration: 25 h / 0.8 = 31.25 h. Or 1 day, 7h, and 15 min.
The yield is 100 %, therefore it does not affect the run duration.
If the yield was set to 80% (you can modify it in the run, and it will only affect that run), it would result in both:
- longer run duration: 31.25 h / 0.8 = 39.06 h. Or 1day, 15h, and 4 min
- increased Gross Production: 10 MT / 0.8 = 12.5 MT
- the net production (i.e. what is seen on the grid and affects projected inventory) remains at 10 MT
- increased component consumption (see Effect of yield on components quantity).
The standard rate is pulled from the production standard efficiency (through the formula picked for that run).
The rate can be modified in the run itself. It will only affect that run and its duration.
Hit 
to revert to the standard rate.
Run references
Field | Description |
|---|---|
The Run Reference # | is a Picaso internal reference number that is automatically generated once the run is saved. |
| Customer Order | Once a run has been uploaded to SAP and a Planned order/Process order as been created in SAP, the SAP number populates the Customer Order field. Find more about the Picaso Schedule upload to SAP here. |
| Lot Number | If an output lot number is assigned to a Process order in SAP, it will also show here. |
| Exportable | The Exportable checkbox is inherited from the equipment. It can also be checked on or off by hand. If active, that run is selected for upload to SAP. |
| Output Reported | tbc |
| Completed | tbc |
| Type | tbc |
Formula
The formula tab of a run shows the components of said run. Here, only one component.
Hit the 
button to insert more components.
Highlight the component and hit the 
button to display/modify the component's
- consumption rate (100%)
- resulting quantity (-10 MT)
- usage (consumption, since this is a component)
- type (continuous)
- lag (0 days, i.e. no lag)
These values are auto-populated from the standard formula details:
Effect of yield on components quantity
Using the example above: 80% yield results in an increased component consumption:
- increased : -10 MT / 0.8 = -12.5 MT
Contrary to output gross production, the effect of a yield is visible on the component's grid
