Order and delivery period

Target audience

• Supplier organizations;
• Customer organizations.

Purpose

Replaces the single trade period with a seperate order period and delivery period. This means that supply lines can be created for the long term without the customer being able to buy on it.

Guidance

• An order period can be created with a startDateTime and endDateTime by the supplier;
• Supplier can choose a different order and delivery period for each individual supply line;
• An order period can be requested with a startDateTime and endDateTime by the customer;
• Sales orders can only be placed on supply lines between the startDateTime and endDateTime of the order period of the supply line;
• A delivery period can be created with a startDateTime and endDateTime by the supplier;
• A delivery period can be requested with a startDateTime and endDateTime by the customer;
• Sales orders can only be placed with a delivery date which is between the startDateTime and endDateTime of the delivery period of the chosen supply line;
• Order period and delivery period can only partially be the same, however:
  • Only the order period can start and/or end earlier than the delivery period;
  • Delivery period cannot start earlier than the startDateTime of the order period;
  • Delivery period cannot end earlier than the endDateTime of the order period;
  • DeliveryPeriod must always be extended until at least the first delivery moment after the end of the OrderPeriod.
  • If the DeliveryPeriod and OrderPeriod end at the same time, the offer cannot be ordered for the full OrderPeriod because no valid delivery time can be found at a certain moment.

When DeliveryPeriod is "Null"

Not every supplyLine has to include a seperate defined DeliveryPeriod. When a supplier creates Batch Prices in the Floriday UI, the DeliveryPeriod will be Null.

When a customer places an order on a Batch Price where the DeliveryPeriod = null, the first available DeliveryPeriod should always be chosen.
