Forecast delivery schedule

The feature “processing” of a forecast delivery schedule generally assigns the scheduling agreement to a partner sales order. A partner sales order with the “foreign item code”, “customer factory”, “unloading point”, “order No.” and possibly the “update index” is searched for. If no partner sales order can be found, the status of this position remains “created”. If a partner sales order can be found, the existing scheduling agreement is fully replaced by the current scheduling agreement in the patner sales order. After the scheduling agreement is overwritten successfully, the status of the history position is set to “done”.

Before the new scheduling agreement is saved, the old one is saved in the fields “old delivery date”, “old delivery quantity” and “old total demands of the partner sales order.

All requirements ahead of the boundary date are deleted.

Requirements that are not transmitted in the new delivery schedule are carried on with the call quantity “zero”. Only by this is it possible to establish a comparison between the old and the new scheduling agreement.

If a backlog or instant stock is transmitted and there is no allocation at the boundary date, a backlog allocation with the call quantity zero is created (in the field “call mark” the entry “backlog allocation”). This is necessary to schedule the backlog and instant stock on one date.

After the forecast delivery schedule is saved as described, the feature Calculate Cumulative Quantities is called up.
