Paper Schedules

Paper schedules that are sent to a vendor are sorted by purchase order number, part, and price revision level.  Because paper schedules do not support the firm horizon, they cannot be reprinted.

Either 9 or 16 periods can be printed on the schedules.  The periods are defined on Reference File category G57, Paper Schedule Periods.  The periods represent weeks or months.  The release natures for these periods are also printed if specified on the delivery conditions.  They describe the planner’s commitment towards an order. 

Detailed or summarized paper schedules can be printed.  Days appear on detailed paper schedules, and weeks or months print on summarized paper schedules.

Detailed or summarized schedules can be sent with different frequencies.  Frequencies describe how often the schedules are sent to the vendor.  When schedules are printed, they are routed to the outqueue that is associated with the planner.
