Infinite Purchased Items After (Hours)

Enter the number of hours (in the Plan Horizon) after which the system sets all purchased items as non-constraining. When this number of hours passes, no operation is delayed due to lack of a purchased item. However, the system still tracks material inventories.

If you set this parameter to zero, the system ignores any constraints created by purchased items (both on-hand quantity and lead time constraints) during the entire Plan Horizon. The default setting is 999999, which indicates that all purchased items are constraining within lead time for the entire Plan Horizon.

If the Infinite field is set for a particular Item, that Item will be considered an unconstrained item for the entire Plan Horizon.

Default: 999,999 hours
