Definicja release horizon (MM-PUR)

The point in time up to which schedule lines can be transmitted to the vendor in the current SA release.

The release horizon is determined on the basis of the release creation date and the aggregation information in the release creation profile. It is shown in the release as a specific (end) date.

Example

In a scheduling agreement that is valid for three years, a release creation profile specifies that Just-in-Time (JIT) delivery schedules are to be transmitted to the vendor every week.

The release horizon of the release creation profile comprises 10 workdays, so that with each release the vendor is provided with information on your requirements over the next ten days.

No schedule lines are aggregated for the first two days. Thereafter, the schedule line quantities are aggregated on a daily basis, so that the requirements for the last eight days of the release horizon are shown as total daily quantities in the release.

On Monday 02.15.2001, a JIT delivery schedule is created. According to the release creation profile, the release horizon amounts to 10 workdays, so that Friday 02.26.2001 is shown as the end of the release horizon in the SA release.

Result

When an SA release is created, the release horizon is determined from the creation date and the aggregation information shown in the release creation profile. If, for example, no schedule lines are transmitted for the last two days of the release horizon, the vendor can assume that there are no requirements within this period.
