Considering Time Relationships 

Use

Two activities can be linked by a time relationship that specifies a minimum or maximum interval between the activity dates.

Taking relationships between activities into consideration means scheduling or rescheduling activities so that no minimum or maximum intervals are violated. If necessary, the system must also schedule or reschedule the dependent activities, for which there are relationships; Date default values, or date changes must therefore be propagated to the dependent activities.

The following types of relationship exist:

·        Order-internal relationships

These include operation-internal relationships between activities in the same operation and cross-operation relationships between activities from different operations of the same order.

·        Cross-operation relationships

Features

The system always considers operation-internal relationships between activities of the same operation.

For cross-operation relationships, the system only considers the minimum or maximum intervals if you have made the relevant settings in the strategy profile.
