VDA Offset Releases - Purpose
GA200E2
The VDA Offset Releases program (GA200E2) creates, on a daily basis, the demand and shipping schedule based on the delivery request and the splitting rules for VDA ship-to customers. The splitting/offsetting process considers the customer's delivery conditions as well as the data associated with the endorsements. For each new LAB/FAB, the old LAB/FAB offset releases are closed. For each delivery request with the status of 'O' (open), an offset release is created (past release as well).
If a VDA immediate release is processed, an offset release is created. The data of this release is either the GABATCH date or the earliest release date, which ever date is earlier. It is possible to have two offset releases for one item/delivery point: one will be an immediate release and one will be a normal release.
