Changing operation date in co02

Question

Hello everyone,
We have quite lengthy production operations and we need to change individual operation date, of planned or production orders (especially production order, in fact, before they are relased in fact).
The problem is that when I access Co02, and go to the operation list view, I cannot change the date. I can enter an operation or delete one but I can't change the start date of each operation.
It is absolutely needed in our case, as we have a lot of waiting time in the shop floor and need to review the schedule to match free slot. There is not a lot of orders , so the most convenient way is to do it from the Operation list, in Co02.
Please could you tell me how it is possible.
Many thanks,
Pierre Mikael

Dear ,
I am not sure whether you have Capacity Requirement Planning is in place  for PP cycle .Basically , operation dates and production order schedule dates can be changes based on the available capacity of Work Centre wehre the respective operations are happing in shop floor.There two kind of production scheduling happend in any production order .One is operation level scheduling and another order level scheduling .Order level scheuling should havppned based on the total details scheduling of operation based on the work centre load ( available , over load , requirement hrs at work centre ) .
Any operation in a scheuled production order , can have changes in date wheile deispathing the operation for work centre once the CRP in place .Here , we have Scheduling margine ( FBP, FAP, Opening periods ) contributes to Basic Start Dates in Production order .It is possible though Capacity Leveling -CM21/CM22/CM31/CM23  after cheking the Capacity Load in CM05/CM07 for a particular work centre level.
The simplest way to adop CRP and explore the same .please find belwo the detaiuls of  the same :
Setting Required :*
1. Settings for Available Capacity
2. Setting for Capacity requirements
3. Settings for Capacity evaluation and leveling
4.Materials Master define the Production scheduler and production scheduling profile
5.Work Center - Define the capcity planner group,activate checkbox Relevant for Finite sceduling,on the capacity header define the shift timings,break timings and unit of measure,no of individual capaity, enter formula for scheduling in capacity view. 6.Routing - enter the values for the standard values. Use control key with scheduling.
7.In transaction OPU5 and OPU3Z - define the scheduling parameters for planned order and productiion orders and activate the checkbox Capacity requirement and Scheduling.
8.Capacity Setup :
1.Define time profile in OPD2.
2.Define the strategy profile in OPDB
3.Define the Overall profiles in OPD0.
4.In the order control OPJK  maintained check capacity with SAPSFCG013 profile.
5.Define Scheduling parameters for Production orders-OPKP-Maintain Capacity Checked /Finite Scheduling Cheked /Scheduing Type -BW/FW .
Hope this will help u in analysis
