▪ The delivery schedules from the customers that are provided by EDI are normally posted automatically as a forecast delivery schedule or JIT delivery schedule in the scheduling agreement. Additionally, the planning delivery schedule is used to fine-tune the requirements planning.▪ New forecast or JIT delivery schedule lines can differ (date/quantity) from the last planning delivery schedule lines posted. Additionally new schedule lines could differ from the prior agreed/maintained rounding quantity.▪ The enhanced tolerance check enables you to compare new forecast or JIT delivery schedule lines with the current planning delivery schedule lines to identify tolerance violations. The “frozen zone”, that might have been negotiated with the customer, can also be controlled. Backlog delivery schedule lines are checked on a daily, future delivery schedule lines within three-time horizons on a daily/weekly or on a period basis.▪ A monitorto control these tolerance violations enables you to manually change or to automatically process the new delivery schedule lines situation. The results could also be used as evidence or discussion basis with the MRP controller from the customer side (Objection, takeover of costs for special transports, introduction of additional production shifts, …).
