Use Supplier Schedule Comparative Extract (.NET UI only) to view multiple supplier schedule releases simultaneously and analyze supplier schedule release fluctuations. You can use the data to compare schedule releases for all items on supplier scheduled orders, including:

• Standard supplier schedule releases (type 4)

• Supplier shipping schedule releases (type 6)

• Supplier planning schedule releases (type 5)

Note: For more information on the type 5 and type 6 supplier schedules, see Supplier Shipping Schedules.

When you extract supplier release information, the system compares multiple supplier schedule order releases. The system calculates the following per date:

• Average requirement quantity (the sum of quantity per date / number of releases)

• Maximum requirement quantity

• Minimum requirement quantity

• Variance % between minimum quantity and maximum quantity)

• Actual receipt quantity

The comparison provides visibility to multiple release data as well as spreadsheet or Web documentation for supplier interaction when examining, for example, additional expenses.

The system displays the data in:

• Daily buckets for shipping schedules (type 6)

• Weekly buckets for planning schedule (type 5)

• Schedule bucketing parameters—schedule days, weeks, or months—from the scheduled order line (type 4) for planning and shipping output reports
