Entering Split Validity Periods

When generating a planning delivery schedule, the system uses the split validity period to determine the split end date.

The base date is 04/02/1998. This is Thursday, week 14,1998.

If you set the delivery schedule validity period to 32 weeks, the system determines the last day of week 45,1998 (or 11/08/1998) as the validity end date.

If you set the validity period to seven months, the system determines the last day of month 10,1998 (or 10/31/98) as the validity end date.

If you do not specify a date type for the validity period, the system determines the split validity period by using the base date as the start date, and the last day of the period made up of the daily, weekly, and monthly schedule lines in the forecast delivery schedule as the end date.

Based on the base and end dates, the system calculates those schedule lines that are included in (or excluded from) the planning delivery schedule:

The system does not take into account schedule lines in the forecast delivery schedule whose dates lie completely after the validity end date.
Daily schedule lines whose dates lie within the validity period are copied unchanged to the planning delivery schedule.
Weekly and monthly schedule lines in the forecast delivery schedule whose dates lie within the validity period are split according to the split rule and copied to the planning delivery schedule.

A schedule line may contain dates that lie both within and without the validity period. In this case, the system splits the schedule lines, but includes in the planning delivery schedule only those generated schedule lines that lie on or before the validity end date. Generated schedule lines that lie after the validity end date are not taken into account.

A schedule line with no split rule is copied unchanged to the planning delivery schedule if at least one of its dates lies within the validity period.

The system also takes into account the Adopt schedule line indicator to determine if schedule lines whose dates lie completely after the validity end date are to be copied from the previous planning delivery schedule.
