Weekday-Specific Plant Determination

Use

You can use this function to specify the supplying plant from which a customer receives a certain media product for each weekday.

Example Example

The daily newspaper Daily Paper contains a larger advertising section on Saturday, which is not published on the other weekdays. As indicated in the graphic, the issues for the weekdays Monday through Friday are delivered to the newsstands from plant 1. The Saturday edition containing the advertising section is delivered to the newsstands from Plant 1 and to the wholesaler New York Newspaper Wholesale from Plant 2.

End of the example.

Features

    3. Plant

    4. Weekdays Monday through Saturday for selection

      You can restrict display of the entries in the table on the initial screen. You can do this using the optional selection criteria business partner, media product, and plant.
