Remove Past Due Line Schedule
Explanation
Use this activity to remove outdated production schedules no longer used in
the system. Removal is based on the past due schedule horizon that has been defined for repetitive
production parts and the current system date. A production schedule is considered
past due if the schedule date is earlier than the system date minus the given past due
schedule horizon value. Removing the outdated and incorrect schedule information serves to
rid the supply picture of so-called "firm" orders that are unlikely to be
received. This process can run as a stand-alone utility.
Prerequisites
The production schedule must have a past due horizon defined for it.
System Effects
As a result of this activity, the system removes all past due schedules for the
specified part(s) according to the specified parameters.
