 Considering Order Validity

Use

In the detailed scheduling strategy , you can define whether the system should consider the validity period of the order during scheduling and rescheduling.

Features

You have the following options:

  • Consider the validity periods

    If you select this option, the system must consider the validity periods both for the order that is to be scheduled or rescheduled, as well as for the dependent orders that are linked to the order by means of pegging relationships (component orders and recipient orders). It is not possible to schedule or reschedule orders outside their validity periods.

  • Consider validity periods for dependent orders only

    If you select this option, the system does not need to consider the validity periods for the order that is to be scheduled or rescheduled; the order can therefore be scheduled outside of its validity period. In the case of dependent orders however, the system must consider the validity periods (assuming that you have defined in the strategy profile that pegging relationships must be considered).

  • Do not consider the validity periods

    If you select this option, the system does not have to consider any validity periods.

If the validity period of an order is violated during scheduling or rescheduling, the system generates a corresponding message. In the order processing view , the system performs a plan explosion using the source of supplyfor in-house production that is valid at this time. The system does not carry out a plan explosion on the detailed scheduling planning board or in the resource planning table .
