In general Scheduler should be run first as input to the APS Planning run.  The reason for this is based upon the fact that the Scheduler is in charge of Released Jobs by default and if there are any new Release Jobs since the last planning run, you want the Scheduler to have scheduled them.  In addition if the ‘Use Scheduled Times in Planning’ parameter is selected and / or you are running Finite APS you want to make sure that the Scheduler runs first.

Default sequence:

1. Run Scheduler

2. Run APS

Special case:

If you have the ‘Calculate Job Dates if Blank’ Planning Parameter selected, please note that the Scheduler needs to have non-blank job start /end dates.  In this environment the sequence is as follows:

1. Run APS to populate the Blank sub-job Start / End Dates

2. Run Scheduler to Schedule the Jobs

3. Run APS to plan capacity and materials.
