Material and date scheduling
Sales orders can be scheduled at any time even if they have just been
created. The product structures of the individual sales order items are
automatically broken down for all levels, the due dates are calculated
and the quantities for all material and capacity requirements are
calculated and the procurements suggestions for all missing parts will be
updated.
3.1.3. Blanket orders
Customer-related sales blanket orders are administrated in abas ERP.
These are based on agreements regarding the purchase quantity of
products at fixed terms and conditions.
The outline agreements are managed in separate data objects, which
form the so-called outstanding sales blanket orders. The cumulative
quantities (already delivered quantities, released quantities and the
remaining stock for each product) are administrated in the sales blanket
orders. Controlling and monitoring contracts agreed with customers is
thus possible at any time.
