* 
The dispatch horizon time window is calculated in business days and not calendar days. If the specified dispatch horizon in the dispatch process is five days, the next five business days are considered as the dispatch horizon. If there are holidays or weekends within that time window, those days are not considered.
The OptiMax Error Text and OptiMax Status fields are not updated in the work order. Instead, the status and the error are updated in the Skipped WorkOrders files during the job run in the corresponding batch job records for the work orders not considered for scheduling. For more information, see Managing Skipped Work Orders.
