In Dynamics 365 SCM, wow can I parameterize it so that the resource preparation time is unique for a group of production orders?

     Can I assume that preparation time means either machine setup time, work cell prep time, etc.? If so, there is a Setup time that can be used to represent an amount of time prior to machine run/process working time. 
     
     

    • Setup time - The setup time, which must be a positive value, is the fixed time that it takes to prepare a resource. The system schedules the setup time according to the calendar for the operations resource, and the setup time is independent of the production quantity. With scheduling, the system also registers a capacity load for the time on the operations resource. The system automatically fills in the setup time with the specified setup time for the selected operation route.

     

    If you have several production orders you want to run back to back to minimize setup time, like using a painting machine to paint several orders of the same color, you may want to look into Properties which can be linked to items, resources, and Route operations.
