Defines a period in which multiple demands are accumulated into one supply order when you use the Lot-for-Lot reordering policy.
The Lot Accumulation Period field contributes to define the company's time reorder cycle in lot-for-lot planning together with the Rescheduling Period field.
Additional Information
From the date of the first demand, all demands are accumulated in the following lot accumulation period into one supply order, which is placed on the date of the first demand. Demand that is outside the lot accumulation period is not covered by the supply order.
The value that you enter in the Lot Accumulation Period field must be a date formula where one day (1D) is the shortest period. For more information, see How to: Enter Dates and Times.
 Note |
|---|
| In all date formula fields, one day is automatically included to cover today as the day when the period starts. Accordingly, if you enter 1W, for example, then the period is actually eight days because today is included. To specify a period of seven days (one true week) including the period starting date, then you must enter 6D or 1W-1D. |
