Offer option to enforce sequential Daily Plan

Current Situation

• The JS7 implements an Overlapping Daily Plan:
  • Orders that cannot be completed within the current day's Plan, can complete execution of a workflow on a later day.
  • This happens in parallel to orders executing for the next day.
  • Dependencies are resolved
    • to the original Plan date using Schedulable Notice Boards,
    • to the current day's Plan date using Global Notice Boards.
• The term "Daily Plan" includes that the 24 hours' period can start at any time during a day.

Desired Behavior

• While the Overlapping Daily Plan is great for many users, some users wish to find a strictly Sequential Daily Plan. as used from other scheduling products:
  • If previous day's Orders are completed, only then Orders for the current day will be started as planned.
  • If previous day's Orders are not completed, then Orders for the current day will not be started.
  • The previous day's Plan must be closed and must not include Orders before the next day's Plan becomes active and Orders will be executed.
    • If current day's Orders are delayed due to a previous day's Orders not being completed, then such Orders will be deferred and will be executed when the previous day's Plan is closed.
    • Users find options to cancel a previous day's Orders from a common operation.
