generating the schedules for the selected Item Locations. This is a mandatory field.
Append/Create Schedule: The values at this field can be one of the following:
1. Create: This set ting specifies that a new schedule is created and is not appended to an existing
one. When the user generates schedules with this setting, the user is prompted to specify
whether to keep or delete old schedules for the item locations for which new schedules are
created. If the user does not allow the deletion of the existing schedules, a new schedule will not
be created. When a schedule is created, the Order Quantity of the schedule at the Scheduling
Item screen gets set to the Quantity to Schedule as specified at the selected Scheduling Formula.
2. Append: If this option is selected, the scheduled quantity will get appended to the scheduled
quantity of the existing schedule, if any. When a schedule is appended, the Order Quantity of the
schedule at the Scheduling Item screen gets incremented by the Quantity to Schedule as
specified at the selected Scheduling Formula.
