Understanding Shipment Patterns

You must define which days are valid to receive a shipment. You can define a pattern that governs the frequency of supplier deliveries. For example, you can define shipment patterns such as:

• All work days.

• Every Monday.

• Monday through Friday of the first and third weeks of the month.

To set up shipment patterns and shipment dates for a supplier schedule that is based on a blanket order, you access the Shipment Pattern Revisions (P43212) and Shipment Date Revisions (P43213) programs from the Supplier Schedule Master Revisions program.

Note: If you are creating ad hoc schedules and need to set up a shipment pattern for the supplier, you access these programs from the menu.
