Specifies a period of time during which you do not want the planning system to propose to reschedule existing supply orders forward. For more information, see Dampener Period.
This value in this field applies to all items except for items that have a different value in the Dampener Period field on the item card.
Additional Information
When a dampener time is set, an order is only rescheduled when the defined dampener time has passed since the order's original due date.
 Note |
|---|
| The dampener time that is applied to an item can never be higher than the value in the item's Lot Accumulation Period field. This is because the inventory build-up time that occurs during a dampener period would conflict with the build-up period defined by the item's lot accumulation period. Accordingly, the default dampener period generally applies to all items. However, if an item's lot accumulation period is shorter than the default dampener period, then the item's dampener time equals its lot accumulation period. |
