When you have defined a product allocation determination procedure, you can also define (past and future) consumption periods for product allocation quantities. These periods consist of the number of past and future periods. These two parts work together as follows:

• The number of past periods identifies the number of periods before the product allocation date in the order, which can be used for calculating the current consumption period. The unused product allocation quantities of these past periods are then cumulated before the product allocation for the current period is checked.
  

• The number of future periods identifies the number of periods after the product allocation date in the order, which can be used for the current consumption period. If the requested quantity is not confirmed within the future period, any remaining quantities will remain unconfirmed.

Note: In both cases, the periods are defined by the activation rule from the corresponding information structure (period = daily, weekly, monthly, etc.). However, the actual date used to represent the order date depends on the update rule.

The consumption periods are only valid if you have set the indicator for the NEW product allocation method. If you have chosen to use the old product allocation method, this functionality is not available.

You can use the consumption periods in the following ways:

# of past         # of future    Result
periods           periods

999                999           Unlimited product allocation

999                  0           Unlimited cumulation of unused
                                 quantities of past periods and no
                                 future product allocation quantities

  0                999           No cumulation of unused product
                                 allocation quantities of
                                 past periods, unlimited future
                                 product allocation quantities
                                 This represents the old product
                                 allocation method of 3.0F.
