By default, the scheduler is set to run once a day (Odoo +automatically creates a **Scheduled Action** for this). + +Calculating Requirements / Scheduling +------------------------------------- + +Scheduling only validates procurements that are confirmed but not yet +started. These procurement reservations will themselves start +production, tasks or purchases depending on the configuration of the +requested product. + +You take into account the priority of operations when starting +reservations and procurements. Urgent requests, those with a date in the +past, or requests with a date earlier than the others will be started +first. In case there are not enough products in stock to satisfy all the +requests, you can be sure that the most urgent requests will be produced +first. + +Configure and run the scheduler +=============================== + +Run the scheduler manually +-------------------------- + +This feature is not visible by default.
