Monthly and quarterly buckets always begin on the first day of the month. Quarterly buckets begin on the first day of the next available month and last for three consecutive calendar months. For weekly buckets, you must specify the day, Monday - Sunday, that you want your weekly schedules to begin on.
Bucket start dates are dynamically defined at schedule build time based on the schedule horizon start date and bucket duration. Because the transition from days to weeks and weeks to months or quarters might not align perfectly, "buffer" buckets are automatically generated to bridge this gap.
Bucket patterns are assigned to the item in the Approved Supplier List. When you build a schedule using AutoSchedule, items matching the selection criteria are grouped by bucket pattern and included on the same schedule. If a supplier is associated with items that contain different bucket patterns for the selected schedule, multiple schedules are automatically built, one for each bucket pattern.
When you build a schedule using the Scheduler's Workbench and include future releases, the schedule will have an additional bucket labeled Future. The Future bucket includes approved releases dated after the schedule horizon end. This bucket does not appear on the printed schedule or the electronic transaction; however, the contents of the bucket can be reviewed and rescheduled to fit within the horizon.
