Documentation
Definition
Specifies in weeks or months how long the delivery schedule splitting rule is valid.
Use
You can set the system to split, according to various splitting rules, schedule lines in the forecast delivery schedule from different time periods. The system determines these periods based on the splitting rule ranges.
When generating a planning delivery schedule, the system uses the number of weeks or months that you enter here to determine the range end date, beginning from the base date. Note that the week or month of the base date is always counted as the first week or month.
When you enter 0 for the range, the system takes the week or month previous to the base date as the range end date.
To split a schedule line in a forecast delivery schedule, the system uses:
- The range that is valid for the date type of the schedule line
The system uses ranges with the date type 'week' to split only weekly schedule lines, and ranges with the date type 'month' to split only monthly schedule lines. Daily schedule lines in a forecast delivery schedule are copied unchanged into the planning delivery schedule.
- The shortest range that covers the schedule line date
Because ranges are always defined from the base date, you may have several splitting rule ranges covering one schedule line date. For example, you may have a splitting rule valid for 2 months from the base date, and one valid for 7 months from the base date. If both rules cover the schedule line date, the system will use the splitting rule with the shortest range, in this case 2 months.
If none of the ranges cover a schedule line date, for example if all the ranges have expired, the system copies the schedule line as it is to the new planning delivery schedule.
Example
The base date of the planning delivery schedule is 04/02/98. This is a Thursday, Week 14.1998.
The system determines the splitting rule range ends and splits schedule lines in forecast delivery schedules according to the following date types and ranges:
Date type Range Splitting rule Range end date
2 (=week) 008 SD2 week 21.1998 (to 05/24/1998)
2 (=week) 032 SD1 week 45.1998 (to 11/08/1998)
3 (=month) 002 SD2 month 05.1998 (to 05/31/1998)
3 (=month) 007 SD1 month 10.1998 (to 10/31/1998)
Weekly schedule lines up to and including week 21 are split according to splitting rule SD2. From week 22 up to and including week 45, they are split according to spltting rule SD1. From week 46, the system copies schedule lines as they are.
Monthly schedule lines up to and including month 5 are split according to splitting rule SD2. From month 6 up to and including month 10, they are split according to splitting rule SD1. From month 11, the system copies schedule lines as they are.
Caution
The splitting rule range specifies how long the delivery schedule splitting rule is valid.
The delivery schedule split validity period specifies the overall validity of the delivery schedule split.
Although both influence schedule line splits, the split validity period overrides the splitting rule range in every case.
In the above example, if the split validity period has been set to 7 months, generated schedule lines for week 45 with dates lying after the validty end date 10/31/98 are not included in the planning delivery schedule!
For more information, see the delivery schedule split validity period.
Procedure
- Enter the number of weeks or months the splitting rule is to be in effect
- Assign a splitting rule to the range
If you do not make this assignment, the system copies schedule lines as they are to the planning delivery schedule.
