NAV2009 R2-Production Schedule

We are running NAV2009 R2. in Manufacturing >Setup > Production Schedule, I have set up Starting Date as -1D & Ending Date as 7D with Progress Calculation = Based On Qty. Whenever I click on "Production Schedule", I get the message "Error showing schedule data on the Production Schedule." I changed the Progress Calculation = Based on time, along with different cominations of Start & End dates, but the same error message is coming. I am not able to find any further details regarding this error message. Is there any detailed document found for this function? Please help.

Hello Dhananjay_BK

I would highly recommend looking at some of the following:

The most likely cause of the error is the use of special characters, such as the ampersand (&), a less-than (<) sign, or a greater-than (>) sign in the code fields. These Special Characters may stops the Productions Schedule when available in following areas of NAV:

• Work Center (Name)

• Machine Center (Name)

• Costumer (Name)

• Production Order (Description)

To find out if Special Characters maybe the Problem, you can export the data (as XML data) before it will be commit to the Production Schedule. The following example shows how to achieve this. Finally you have some great opportunity to review the XML file for special characters like the Ampersand Sign by use of STRG+F etc...

Codeunit 5500Function

CreateOutboundXML(XMLType : 'Schedule Order')

...

IF ScheduleOrder.EXPORT THEN BEGIN

ProdSchedSetup.GanttXML.CREATEINSTREAM(IStream);

OutboundXML.load(IStream);

OutboundXML.save('c:\OUTPUTPRODUCTIONSCHEDULE.xml'); //ADD LINE

END ELSE

ERROR(Text002);

END

END;

...

NOTE: There are some exceptions were it is not possible to change the Data. For example, a Vendor Name contains an Ampersand and cannot be changed by political or reasons of law. In that case, please see below for the available Hotfix data. By applying the Hotfix, special Characters can be kept.
