• The Daily Plan Service is used to create and to submit Orders for a Daily Plan to Controllers. The service is operated in background and acts on a daily basis to plan a number of days ahead.
• The Daily Plan Service runs existing JS7 - Schedules and generates Orders for the given start times. This applies to Schedules that specify a single start time for an order and to Schedules that specify cyclic starts. For each start time in a cycle an individual Order is created. In a subsequent step such Orders are submitted to the respective Controllers.
• The similar functionality is available from the JS7 - Daily Plan View for operation by users, however, the service performs this task automatically for a configurable number of days ahead.

• The checkbox "Submit Order to Controller when planned" specifies that any PLANNED Orders - from the current Daily Plan run or from previous runs - will be submitted to a Controller and will result in a PENDING Order state. Submission of an Order to a Controller includes that an Order is submitted to any Controllers to which the respective Workflow has been deployed.
