===Production Scheduling Questions===

'''Q:''' Does this screen show all of the upcoming items that will be produced according to when they were scheduled?
*'''A:''' Yes, it is used to schedule all the production in the plant. It can be run with filters to help schedule production by department or assembly line.

'''Q:''' What are the options Can Make and Customer/Stock for?
*'''A:''' If you filter by CAN MAKE, it will only show you products that you have inventory to make (it will only show items that we have all the inputs for on stock and ready to be used).

'''Q:''' What are Save and Load Opts for?
*'''A:''' This will save all of the filters you have set. The idea is that multiple managers or users may be viewing this screen, or you may have specific groups of production you want to look at. In this case, you could save your filter/search options, and then you can load them as specified. Think of it as a bookmark on the filters.

'''Q:''' What is CS1?
