Understanding Supplier Schedule Revisions

After you have generated a supplier schedule that is based on the supplier contract information that you have set up, you can use the Supplier Schedule Revisions program to review the schedule and make revisions. After you review the schedule and make any necessary revisions, you can commit to a final schedule.

Supplier Schedule Revisions enables you to:

• Review planned, committed, released, and historical quantity information.

• Display the current supplier schedule.

• Review cumulative quantity information.

• Update planned and committed quantities in the schedule before you release them.

• Finalize the supplier schedule.

The system recalculates the quantities in the Cumulative Frozen, Cumulative Fabrication, and Cumulative Raw Material fields when a change is made. If the schedule was generated multiple times, the values from the previous generation are displayed in Previous columns. For each schedule record, the system displays what kind of fence was defined, if any.

Any changes that you make to the schedule do not affect the most recent Master Production Scheduling (MPS), MRP, or Distribution Requirements Planning (DRP) generation. After you release the supplier schedule and create purchase orders for the blanket order releases, the next MPS, MRP, or DRP generation treats the purchase orders as available supply items.
