Please note that a period unit is assigned to each information structure. You can choose from day, week and month.

A period unit is allocated during the material-, vendor- and customer analyses:

When a reference is made to inspection lots after the lot date of origin
When a reference is made to notifications and problems/errors after the notification date of origin.
