Enter the days that are added to a requirement due date. This number defines a time interval during which a planned receipt that is due can be used to fulfill the requirement. A planned receipt that is outside the defined time interval cannot be used to fulfill the requirement. Master scheduling generates a new planned order. You can equate negative days with the number of delivery days that are past due. During this time, there is a negative inventory level for the item. You must accept the negative inventory level before you can create a new fulfillment order. The value that you enter depends on factors such as item lead time and the organization’s policy about inventory. If an item has a long lead time, you can specify the typical lead time as negative days. You can specify negative days in either the Item coverage page or the Coverage groups page. The full behavior of negative days depends on whether you select the Use dynamic negative days option in the Master planning parameters page. For example, for a particular item, a purchase order is scheduled for receipt on September 20, and a sales order is scheduled for delivery on September 19. You must specify whether to generate a new planned purchase order to cover the requirement, or to accept a late delivery for the sales order on September 20. If you set the negative days to 0 (zero), a new planned purchase order is generated. If you set the negative days to a number that is larger than zero, no planned purchase order is generated. Instead, an action message is generated for the purchase order, and a futures message is generated for the sales order.
