Enter the interval, as a number of days that are subtracted from a requirement due date to define a time interval during which a planned receipt that is due can be used to fulfill the requirement. A planned receipt that is due outside the defined time interval is not valid to fulfill the requirement, and master scheduling generates a new planned order. You can equate positive days with the number of days that you use existing inventory before you create a new fulfillment order. During this period, there is a positive inventory level for the item. You can specify positive days in the Item coverage page or the Coverage groups page. For example, for a particular item, inventory exists, and a sales order is scheduled for delivery in 90 days. Master scheduling either generates a new planned purchase order to cover the requirement, or it fulfills the order from the current inventory. If you set the positive days to a number that is less than 90, a new planned purchase order is generated. If you set the positive days to a number that is greater than 90, no planned purchase order is generated. However, current inventory levels of the item are no longer available for new sales orders. If you use automatic reservation when you create sales orders, or if you use manual reservation later, values in the Positive days field are not considered in master scheduling.
