Procedure

Example

Dependencies

  • Materials planning

    The valid-from date of the material status is considered only if it precedes or is the same as the planning date; that is, if the valid-from date is later than the planning date, it is not considered, even if it is within the planning horizon.

    Example

    I<-------------Planning horizon------------->I
    -----I--------------------I-----------------------I-->
    Planning date Valid-from date Time

    In this case, the valid-from date is not considered in materials planning since it is later than the planning date.

  • Purchasing

    The valid-from date of the material status is checked against the current date.

    Example
    You block the material for purchasing from May 1, xxxx. A purchase order is created for the material on April 28, xxxx with a delivery date of May 10, xxxx. In this case, the valid-from date May 1, xxxx is checked against the purchase order date April 28, xxxx and the purchase order is allowed. Had you created the purchase order on May 3, xxxx, an error message would have been issued.
