Setting Control Program Values
Use Supplier Schedule Control (5.5.1.24) to define default values for release IDs and zero schedules.
Supplier Schedule Control (5.5.1.24)
Generate Date Based Release ID
Specify whether Schedule Update from MRP generates a date-based release ID instead of a numeric release ID. The system generates date-based release IDs using the current date plus an incrementing integer value. For example, Schedule Update from MRP generates a schedule on November 24, 2005, and the system creates release ID 20051124-001. The system does not generate date-based release IDs when you manually create a supplier schedule.
No (the default): Schedule Update from MRP generates numeric release IDs.
Yes: Schedule Update from MRP generates eleven digit date-based release IDs using the following components:
• The four-digit year
• The two-digit month
• The two-digit day
• A three-digit release number
Zero Schedules
Enter the number of zero schedules the system generates for a supplier when an order is active but no demand exists. You can enter a zero so that the system never creates a zero schedule. This value defaults to Zero Schedules field in Supplier Scheduled Order Maintenance (5.5.1.13).
