Receive Schedule Release
Once you set up a customer’s scheduled order, you are ready to receive a schedule releases. The most recently received schedule release normally supersedes all previous schedule releases.
Note: Raw and fabrication authorization are an exception to this. The longest authorizations, calculated by end date, are the valid ones.
The system supports two types of schedule releases: each states how much of a certain item a customer expects to need and when. The difference between the two is the planning horizon.
• Planning Schedule (830, Delfor) shows long-term planning, such as weekly, monthly buckets
• Shipping Schedule (862, Deljit) shows short-term planning such as daily buckets and is usually the more accurate
When both schedules exist, the scheduled order’s netting logic set up in Scheduled Order Maintenance (7.3.13) determines how to combine the schedules to obtain a RSS.
Note: QAD Enterprise Applications retains every schedule the customer sends until you delete them from the system using Schedule Delete/Archive (7.5.23).
There are two ways to receive a schedule release:
• Import EDI or eCommerce using Document Import (35.13)
• Enter manually using Customer Plan Schedule Maintenance (7.5.1) or Customer Ship Schedule Maintenance (7.5.2), depending on the type of schedule
Note: This course uses manual schedule transactions since the learning environment is not set up for EDI communication.
