Scheduling
Call Forward scheduling is a feature of Logistics tablet whereby when an activity has it's called for date changed, it's descendant activities are rescheduled accordingly by the same number of working days. E.g if the parent activity has it's called for bumped by 3 working days, then all descendant activities will also have their called for dates bumped by the same number of working days, though they may be on different dates.
To use this feature, modify the called for date for a parent activity via the Call Forward dialog. You will be prompted whether you want to reschedule the descendant activities. A logistics item comment with the change is added for any descendants that are bumped.
| Info |

| Only activities without SupplierConnect notifications are re-scheduled. |
