Documentation
Definition
Number of days representing the time interval at which reminders or urging letters/messages (may also be termed "chasers", "hasteners" (UK) or "expediters" (USA)) are to be issued to the vendor.
Use
A negative number of days means that a reminder is to be issued to the vendor n days prior to a certain date (for example, the delivery date or the deadline for submission of quotations).
A positive number of days means that a letter or message urging delivery or submission of a quotation etc. is to be issued n days after the due date.
Procedure
In the case of purchasing documents, the time intervals are defaulted from the purchasing info record or, if one does not exist, from the material master record.
Dependencies
The basis for the reminder intervals is the delivery date or deadline for submission of quotations etc.
In the event of several reminder levels, the days must be set out in ascending order of time, without gaps.
Example
In the event of a delay in delivery, you can send messages urging the vendor to deliver ordered materials a total of three times, at intervals of 10 days:
- Reminder 1: 10 days (after delivery date)
- Reminder 2: 20 days ( " " " )
- Reminder 3: 30 days ( " " " ).

Use
A negative number of days means that a reminder is to be sent to the vendor n days before the deadline for submission of quotations.
A positive number of days means that an urging letter (expediter) is to be sent n days after the expiration of such a deadline.
Procedure
In purchasing documents, the default reminder levels are taken from the info record or, if one does not exist, from the material master record.
Dependencies
The reminder intervals are based on the deadline for submission of quotation.
In the case of several reminder levels, the days must be in ascending order without gaps.
Example
If a vendor fails to submit a quotation for an RFQ item by the date set, messages urging him to submit one will be sent three times at intervals of 10 days:
- Urging 1: 10 days
- Urging 2: 20 days
- Urging 3: 30 days
