Calendars Used to Calculate Dates

In the Supplies and Demands view, there are different calendars used to calculate the various dates. This topic discusses the different calendars and the calendar selection hierarchy used by the planning process to calculate dates.

For each calendar hierarchy listed in this topic, the planning process searches for an associated calendar. When an associated calendar is found, the planning process stops and the other levels in the hierarchy aren't checked.

For example, to calculate the start date of purchase supplies, the planning process first looks for the Supplier Site Capacity Calendar in the Approved Supplier List (ASL). If the planning process doesn't find a Supplier Site Capacity Calendar, then the process defaults to a 24 hour, 7 days a week calendar to calculate the start date of purchase supplies.

The following lists the calendars and the calendar hierarchy the planning process uses to calculate dates. In cases where the calendar association appears in the Review Planning Calendar Associations UI, the applicable calendar type and assignment type is listed.

• Supplier Capacity Calendar (SCC): Calendar used to calculate the start date of purchase supplies.
