You use this program to selectively restore the original dates of purchase orders, requisitions and jobs in the snapshot, where the Requirements Calculation has suggested dates that are impractical to implement (usually where the dates have been moved in).
In addition, this program ensures that no suggested requisitions have unattainable due dates.
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Start Processing |
Select this function to make changes to the purchase orders and/or requisitions. If the due date of an item is a non-working day, then the due date is set to the next working day (i.e. the program does not re-instate supply dates on non-working days). This applies to purchase orders, requisitions and suggested requisitions.
