Rescheduling Message

The type of rescheduling message.

Allowed values

Reschedule In

The order must be delivered earlier. There is a discrepancy between the delivery date on the order and the required delivery date. This can be caused by:

  • The start date of the element (or, if not available, the project) being moved up.
  • The start date of the activity budget line being moved up (either manually or as a result of changes in the external scheduling package).
  • The delivery date of the order being deliberately postponed.
Reschedule Out

The order must be delivered later. There is a discrepancy between the delivery date on the order and the required delivery date. This can be caused by:

  • The start date of the element (or if not available, the project) being postponed.
  • The start date of the activity budget line being postponed (either manually or as a result of changes in the external scheduling package)
  • The delivery date of the order being deliberately moved up.
Cancel

There is a discrepancy between the quantity on the order and the required quantity. (Part of) the quantity is no longer required.

Rate Change

This is relevant for equipment and subcontracting with the Cost Determination method set to Rate Only. The rate used on a purchase order is different than the current budgeted rate. You must verify if modifications are required.

Review Changes

This is relevant for the equipment with the Cost Determination method set to Amount of Time. After an Equipment Procurement Order is generated for a budget line, and both the quantity and amount of time are changed, the budget line should not result in a new order. This is supported by a rescheduling message.
