Procedures

Adding Call Forward Dates

...

For suppliers, in some cases, you may wish to acknowledge that a revised date has been confirmed without sending a new notification to a supplier. In this case, the 'Supplier Start/Approved?' field can be used in the Logistics Item dialog.

...

Forecast Date

Description

Called

To determine when you would need to call the supplier, used essentially as a manual lead time prior to call-up.

Called For

To forecast out when you would need a supplier/subcontractor onsite, without actually putting in a date on the call forward.

Start

For determining when an activity is likely to start, based on real information, e.g. weather delaying work onsite.

Complete

Used to show when an activity is likely to be complete, based on the supervisors knowledge of the project. Can be used to record where the supervisor is running ahead/behind of schedule.

...

Colour

Description

Green

Dates shown this colour when the forecast date is after today, i.e. in the future and not overdue.

Red

Dates shown this colour when the forecast date is today, or before today's date.

Blue

Shown when a supplier start/approved date is entered. Date in manual forecast start will show as red (in lieu of blue) when the supplier start/approved date is equal to or less than today's date.

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.
