Combining Delivery Schedules

Use

The customer regularly sends in new delivery schedules that replace old delivery schedules. In some cases, however, the customer may want to combine old and new delivery schedules. To inform you of this special case, they send a special indicator in the delivery schedule.

Features

There are two indicators designed for this purpose:

  • The requirement status key

When the customer sets this key to "B", schedule lines in the old delivery schedule that come before or after the validity period of the new delivery schedule are copied to the new delivery schedule.

The requirement status key has been designed for JIT delivery schedules that meet standards defined in VDA 4915, a requirement of the German Automobile Industry Association. This key is displayed in the delivery schedule header .

  • The forecast delivery schedule key

When the customer sets this key to "1", schedule lines in the old delivery schedule that come before the validity period of the new delivery schedule are copied to the new delivery schedule.

The forecast delivery schedule key has been designed for delivery schedules that meet Odette standards. This key is not displayed anywhere in the delivery schedule.

Note Note

These indicators are sent by the customer. You cannot change them.
