Enter Customer Schedule Template
Explanation
A Line Type is mandatory for each Customer Schedule Line. If Line Types are not communicated within the customer
schedule itself, but with the knowledge you have on Line Types which need to be set depending on temporal horizons,
you should create a Customer Schedule Template.
Example:
- Horizon 1: in first 14 days a Line Type "SHI" (Shipment Authorization) shall be used
- Horizon 2: in next 6 weeks a Line Type "DIS" (Disposition Authorization), but without Shipment
Authorization, shall be used
- Horizon 3: for next 10 months a Line Type "INF" (Information Only) shall be used
Customer Schedule Template in IFS:
| Horizon No |
Period Size |
Period Unit |
Line Type |
| 1 |
14 |
Days |
SHI |
| 2 |
6 |
Weeks |
DIS |
| 3 |
10 |
Months |
INF |
- Period Unit can be set to Days, Weeks and Months. A horizon with Days must not follow Weeks' or
Months' demand and a horizon with Weeks must not follow Months' demand
- According to ISO-6801, the week starts on Monday, hence, the "Days" horizon prior to the first
"Weeks" horizon could be extended until the "Weeks" horizon starts.
- Month starts on its first day, therefore the previous "Weeks" or "Days" horizon prior to
the first "Months" horizon may be extended accordingly by some days until the "Months"
horizon starts.
Prerequisites
All Customer Schedule Line Types must have been created which are to be used in the Customer Schedule
Template
System Effects
There are no direct impacts at time of creating a Customer Schedule Template. Later in the process, after having
added a template to a Customer Schedule Agreement Part, the Line Types in a corresponding new Customer Schedule
Line will be determined automatically based on the template horizons.
