Period Lot-Sizing Procedures 

Use

In period lot-sizing procedures, the system groups several requirements within a time interval together to form a lot.

Features

  • You can define the following periods:
    • days
    • weeks
    • months
    • periods of flexible length equal to posting periods
    • freely definable periods according to a planning calendar

The system can interpret the period start of the planning calendar as the availability date or as the delivery date.

  • Splitting and overlapping are also possible for all period lot-sizing procedures (see Lot Sizes with Splitting and Overlapping).
  • The system sets the availability date for period lot-sizing procedures to the first requirements date of the period. However, you can also define that the availability date is at the beginning or end of the period.
