Overview of Trade Sales Schedule Processing
In a trade sales agreement, after the trade sales order exists in the system, you can expand the trade sales process to include trade sales schedule releases. The system automatically creates matching supplier planning and shipping schedules for the trade sales supplier when you:
• Import a trade sales customer planning or shipping schedule.
• Create a new trade sales customer planning or shipping schedule.
• Reactivate an existing inactive trade sales customer schedule.
The system creates the trade sales supplier schedules without running Schedule Update from MRP (5.5.3.1). You can optionally export the system-created supplier schedules automatically to the trade sales suppliers.
You use EDI eCommerce programs to import customer schedules and to export system-created supplier planning or shipping schedules. You can set up EDI eCommerce to export the system-created supplier schedules automatically or you can view them before you export them. You can view system-created trade sales supplier schedules regardless of whether you enable the optional supplier shipping schedule module.
