Defining Release ID Format
The format of the release ID generated by Schedule Update from MRP (5.5.3.1) is affected by the value of Generate Date Based Release ID in Purchasing Control (5.24).
When this is Yes, eleven digit date-based release IDs are generated using the following components:
• The four digit year
• The two digit month
• The two digit day
• A three digit release number
For example, the first schedule release created on October 19, 2002, would have the release ID 20021019-001.
If you want to track release IDs using this formula, make sure you set up Purchasing Control appropriately.
Note: Date-based numbers are not supplied by the system when you create a release manually in Schedule Maintenance (5.5.3.3).
