Definition

This indicator defines the time in the period the system is to create the availability date or the start date for the lot for period lot-sizing procedures.

The availability date is the date on which the material, including the goods receipt processing time, is available again. In the MRP list, the availability date is equal to the MRP date.

In in-house production, the start date is the order start date, in external procurement the start date is the release date.

The following procedures exist:

  • Availability date equal to requirement date
  • Availability date at period start
  • Availability date at period end
  • Start date at period start
  • Planned order start date at period start and availability date at period end

    With this setting, the in-house processing time in the material master record is ignored.

Note

The following is valid in all cases:

If the start date lies in the past, the system switches to forward scheduling. The following example illustrates how the system procedes:

The period start is Monday and the period end is Friday. The planned delivery time is 8 days. The indicator for determining the date is set to, "availability date at period end".

Today is Monday, a requirement is planned on Wednesday. The system has to schedule forwards. As the system works using date determination, today's date is not selected as the start date. Instead, the system determines the next period end, and uses backward scheduling to calculate a start date that does not lie in the past. This means that the end date was planned for the Friday of next Week.
