Schedules

Schedules are delivery requests sent to a vendor by a planner.  Schedules may be generated either automatically or manually.  This is determined by the Manual Transmission flag specified on the delivery condition. 

If the Manual Transmission flag is set to No, schedules will be generated automatically by the RS Daily Batch Processing. 

To generate a schedule, use the Schedule Transmission Request conversation.  The Function Select screen has two options:  you may view all schedules requiring manual transmission, or you may view all schedules for the specified vendor.  If you select manual transmission, only schedules with a next transmission date that is less than or equal to today’s date will be displayed.  If you select all vendors, all schedules, regardless of the next transmission date, will be displayed for a specific vendor.  The second option allows you to retransmit file and EDI schedules.

Schedules can be sent via three transmission modes:

·     Paper

·     EDI (ODETTE, ANSI, or VDA Protocol)

·     File schedules transmitted by fax, telex, etc.
