55
Q

Consumption modes

A

Defines whether and in which direction on the time axis from the requirements date the consumption of customer requirements with planned independent requirements should occur.

56
Q

Consumption mode options

59
Q

Forwards consumption only

A

Starting from the requirements date, forward consumption is carried out within the relevant consumption period

60
Q

Backwards/forwards consumption

A

Starting from the requirements date, backwards consumption is performed first of all. Then, if no planned independent requirements can be allocated before the requirements date, forward consumption is performed. Both procedures are carried out for the relevant consumption period.

61
Q

Forwards/backwards consumption

A

Starting from the requirements date, forward consumption is performed first of all. Then, if no independent requirements can be allocated after the requirements date, backwards consumption is performed. Both procedures are carried out for the relevant consumption period.
