Process parameter dependency on material requests owing to change in task planned dates
The process parameter “Auto-Short Close Open Material Requests on Planned Dates Change of Tasks & Discrepancies from the Planning Board Gantt?" under the Entity Type 'Package Type' and Entity '--All Packages--' determines whether any related Authorized material requests must be short closed or not. If the process parameter is set as 1 / ‘Required’, the system closes all the Authorized material requests against the tasks that have been rescheduled in the future. However, if the process parameter is 0/Not Required, the Authorized material requests of the rescheduled tasks are not short closed only their need dates are set to the new planned start date of the task/discrepancy.
