Rescheduling Task Group Tasks

This guide explains how to change the scheduling for a task linked to a production job. It is intended for advanced users.

The scheduling you set for a new task group is an estimated standard, but events may arise where you need to adjust that schedule. You can edit a task schedule when:

  • The order is in Open status.
  • The job is in Open status.
  • The task is linked to a job.
  • The task is in Incomplete or Pending status.

Note: Tasks can be linked to records other than jobs (e.g. sales leads); however, the functionality described below is limited to tasks associated with production jobs.

Editing a Task Schedule

  1. Navigate from Main Menu > Order Management > Orders.
  2. Use the Quick Search bar to locate the desired order.
  3. At the detail view, click Management tab > Fulfillment tab.
  4. In the Tasks list, locate the desired task and click the GoTo chevron (8CRFhw995-8b7fjndkRAnDhE1CBud-WL0TaNw2pvUL8L3bhvbTCovKO7n6uCpLcmU_vddZHICNQtYG0GpVXsZeZ2FzqgC1pgEVslzd-gmurq4IjQtmQcdYi0XJL_745EcNq6LLze.png).

  6. Enter the new Task Info dates and times.
  7. Click Save.

If the rescheduled task has other tasks scheduled around it, those tasks will be auto-updated to maintain their anchoring. For example, if Task B is set to begin two weekdays after Task A ends, and you manually change the end date for Task A from Monday to Wednesday, then Task B will be auto-updated to begin on Friday. 

Note: The scheduling defaults in aACE will ignore weekends. This means that on a Friday, a task set to begin "the next day" will actually start on Monday. You can customize your business hours in System Admin > Preferences > My aACE.
