Documentation

Definition

Key that determines the day on which the material is planned and ordered. The planning cycle is a planning calendar that is defined in Customizing for MRP.

Use

Procedure

In addition to the planning cycle, you can enter a delivery cycle which is defined in the planning calendar field.

Examples

It makes sense to enter a delivery cycle for the following situation:

You carry out the planning run and place orders every Monday and Tuesday. The materials that are ordered on Monday are delivered on Wednesday and the materials that are ordered on Tuesday are not delivered until Friday.

The system interprets an additionally specified planned delivery time as the minimum delivery time, which means that at least this number of days pass between the planning run or the order and delivery.

Dependencies Before a material can be planned with the time-phased planning procedure, it must be assigned the MRP type that allows time-phased planning.
