Own Flow Period Detail Screen 

---

This screen is used to specify the outflow for a certain Flow Period in a Flow Model. It is shown when you click on an existing Flow Period, or on the link to create a new Flow Period, in the Own Flow Model detail screen.

Supplier’s Product Id and Variant – the supplier’s ID of the product.

Start Date – if the Flow Model is a sales forecast or a daily production plan, the Start Date field should contain the date and time when the flow period starts. A flow period can go on for as long as the outflow per day does not change. If the outflow is expected to change, another flow period can be created, starting at the time when the outflow will change.

If the Flow Model is of the All-At-Once type, the Start Date field should contain the date and time when the withdrawal is made.

Constant Flow – if the Flow Model is a sales forecast or a daily production plan, the Constant Flow checkbox  should be checked if the intention is to plan an outflow quantity per day. If the checkbox is not checked, PipeChain Supply will calculate the outflow based on past outflow (this is known as the Flow Meter Value).

If the Flow Model is of the All-At-Once type, the Constant Flow checkbox must always be checked.

Outflow  – if the Flow Model is a sales forecast (a) or a daily production plan (b) (and uses Constant Flow) this is where the outflow per day is specified. If Constant Flow is not checked, PipeChain Supply calculates what the outflow will be based on past outflow (this is known as the Flow Meter).

If the Flow Model is of the All-At-Once type (c), the Outflow field shows the quantity of the withdrawal.

When you have filled in the fields, click on the disk icon below the fields to save.

When one or more Flow Periods have been defined, the list of Flow Periods in the Own Flow Model Detail screen looks like this:
