In this step, you define the series characteristic for series sales of media products. The series characteristic defines how the series behaves. You must specify a series characteristic for each media product that is used in series sales. The series characteristic contains the following data:
Shipping characteristic The following three standard shipping characteristics are available:
01 - The issue must be specified in the shipping schedule (manually). The issue does not need to be in an issue sequence. For example, the next issue can be determined manually using marketing methods.
02 - The issue is determined from the issue sequence. Shipping planning records are generated automatically when an issue is added to the issue sequence. You can only change the attributes of the shipping schedule records.
03 - The issue cannot be specified. The subsequent issue is determined from each customer's specific history, so that it can be different for each customer.
Planning records for media issue deliveries If shipping characteristic 02 is specified, you can use planning records for media issue delivery. These planning records determine the time sequence for the planned future issues for a series contract.
Back issues This indicator denotes whether or not back issues are possible. These are copied to planning for the media issue deliveries.
