Orders: Supply Time
Enter the hour and the minute on which supply orders (such as job supplies, purchase requisitions, purchase orders, transfer order supplies, and subcomponent demands) are available for the APS planning functions to allocate to demands. The system does not track the time of day on dates associated with orders, but the APS functions plan at a detailed level of time. Therefore, you must specify the time so the planning functions have that information. For example, if you enter 01:00, the system "sees" all purchase orders at 01:00. Enter the time in 24-hour format.
Note: The Supply Time should always be earlier than the Demand Time. For
efficiency, the Supply Time should be as close to the Demand Time as possible (the
default Demand Time is 01:00, which is one minute later than the default Supply Time) -
see “Orders: Demand
Time” for more information. This way, the system enters supply orders into
the plan before demand orders (which need to consume the supply).
Note: For all supply order types, this parameter does
not affect the order entry date. The APS functions use the current system date
and time at the time they load the order.
Default: 00:59
