Modify Requested Date

Explanation

Use this activity to modify requested date on supply requests. In Project Deliverables, the Item cost/hour calculation and schedule generation sets required date on material requirements and material plans. Required date is found on items in the material requirement list, in Project Deliverable Navigator/Materials/Material Requirements tab. Required date is also found on material plans, once those plans have been generated, in Project Deliverable Navigator/Materials/Material Plans tab and in the General tab for the selected planning item, in the tree. Material plans are generated.

• Required date on top items are set to early finish date of the project activity.
• Required date on components are set to early finish date of the project activity minus the lead time for the parent items. This ensures that components are available when requested by the parent items.

If the early finish date on project activity has been changed or if the lead time has been changed, then a new schedule generation or item/cost hours calculation including generate schedule must be run to reflect the new required date. If a supply request has already been created for it, the Modify Requested Date menu option can be selected to change the requested date of the already created supply requests. The Modify Requested Date option is available in Material Supply tabs (see below) and enabled when required date and requested date differ.
