Specify a code for the order interval. Recommendation Use the short description of the frequency definition as the cycle code, for example, 2 days, or 3 weeks. In this way, you can better view and choose a proper order interval on the Planning Data tab of the Item Master Data window. End of the recommendation. |
Specify the frequency of the order interval. Example To define an order interval of 10 days, in the dropdown list, choose Every X Days and then specify 10 in the field. To define an order interval of 1 month, in the dropdown list, choose Monthly and then specify on which day a new interval starts. End of the example. |
