Step 1 — Configure Alternate Workcenters:
Open Manufacturing → Configuration → Work Centers, select a workcenter, and define the Alternative Workcenter. This ensures that if the current machine is unavailable (breakdown/busy), the system can relocate operations smoothly without blocking the manufacturing flow.

Step 2 — Confirm the Manufacturing Order:
Create and confirm a Manufacturing Order so operations are generated. After confirmation, navigate to Planning → Machine Schedule to view and manage the live timeline of the operations.

Step 3 — Review the Custom Gantt Flow:
The system displays a custom Gantt view for Manufacturing Orders. It visualizes the complete sequence of operations, and arrows show the correct process flow across machines so planners can instantly understand dependencies and the next operation.

Step 4 — Open the Machine Allocation:
In the Gantt view, select the machine block (workcenter operation) and click Edit. This is where you can manage scheduling decisions, report issues, or relocate work if required.

Step 5 — Report a Machine Problem:
If the selected workcenter (machine) is facing a breakdown or maintenance issue, click Report Problem. This starts the breakdown workflow and prevents incorrect production starts on a failed machine.

Step 6 — Fill Breakdown Details in Popup:
A popup wizard opens with fields like breakdown reason, notes, and timing details. This ensures the breakdown is properly recorded and visible to planners/operators for quick action.

Step 7 — Relocate Remaining Quantity:
Scroll down and enable Relocate remaining product. Choose another workcenter (machine) manually, or click Find Optimum to let the system suggest the best machine based on availability and efficiency.

Step 8 — Understand the Time Analysis:
The system displays a detailed comparison including waiting time and workcenter efficiency. If you also move produced quantity to the next operation, the wizard shows the time saved for the overall process chain.

Step 9 — Confirm the Resolution:
Click Confirm Resolution. The system relocates the remaining work to the selected workcenter and updates the operation plan without breaking the manufacturing sequence.

Step 10 — Verify Changes in Gantt View:
Back in the Gantt view, the MO operation is relocated (example: moved to Machine D), and if enabled, produced product is pushed forward to the next operation (example: Machine B). Arrows update to keep the correct operation flow.

Step 11 — Verify Inside Manufacturing Order:
Open the Manufacturing Order and check operations. You will see the next operation started (if moved forward) and the relocated workcenter is displayed so production teams can follow the updated plan.

Step 12 — Breakdown Alert on Workcenter:
Open the reported workcenter: an alert confirms breakdown occurred. Details like reason and notes are stored in Breakdown Info, keeping a clear history for maintenance and planning audits.

Step 13 — Prevent Start on Broken Machine:
If a user tries to start the manufacturing process on a broken machine, the system blocks the action and shows a popup message. This prevents wrong production execution and avoids inaccurate reporting.

Step 14 — Handle Allocation Conflicts:
When one MO is already scheduled on a machine and the user assigns another MO on the same time slot, a popup appears asking whether to Auto Schedule or Manually Schedule to a different time.

Step 15 — Auto Schedule the Operation:
On selecting Auto Schedule, the module automatically finds the next available time slot for the machine and reschedules the operation accordingly, ensuring no overlap and maintaining planning accuracy.

Step 16 — Busy Machine Relocation Prompt:
If a user tries to start an operation while the machine is already busy, the system shows a relocation popup suggesting to move the operation to another workcenter. This ensures production continuity and reduces delays.
