Rescheduling Period Field, Stockkeeping Unit Table

Defines a period within which any suggestion to change a supply date always consists of a Reschedule action and never consists of a Cancel + New action.

The Rescheduling Period field contributes to define the company's reorder cycle in lot-for-lot planning together with the Lot Accumulation Period field. For more information, see the The Role of the Reorder Cycle.

Additional Information

The total rescheduling period is one rescheduling period before the existing supply date until one rescheduling period after the existing supply date. If a suggested new supply date that is forward or backward in time is within the rescheduling period, then the suggestion is to reschedule. If a suggested new supply date is outside the rescheduling period, then the suggestion may be to cancel and create a new supply order.

The value that you enter in the Rescheduling Period field must be a date formula, and one day (1D) is the shortest allowed period. For more information, see How to: Enter Dates and Times.

Note

In all data formula fields, one day is automatically included to cover today as the day when the period starts. Accordingly, if you enter 1W, for example, then the period is actually eight days because today is included. To specify a period of seven days (one true week) including the period starting date, then you must enter 6D or 1W-1D.
