Define which schedule messages represent planning information, firm releases, revisions or cancellations. Map customer references and effective dates before creating commitments. The integration should reconcile a new schedule against previously accepted releases, preserving what has already been produced or shipped and assigning conflicts to an owner instead of simply replacing the entire demand picture.
Understand the decision
In a hypothetical customer feed, the next week is firm while later periods are forecasts. A revised schedule reduces a firm quantity after production has begun, and the same message is retransmitted. The planner needs a visible commercial decision about the reduction, without duplicated demand or the silent disappearance of completed work.
Work through the requirements
- Classify message segments by commitment meaning.
- Match revisions to existing releases and physical progress.
- Route changed firm obligations and duplicate events explicitly.
| Record or decision | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Schedule contract | Define firm and forecast interpretation. |
| Release ledger | Preserve accepted commitments and revisions. |
| Conflict record | Assign changes affecting completed or committed work. |

Watch for this failure
Importing every schedule quantity as a sales order can create false commitments, while replacing all demand can erase real ones. Test the customer’s actual message conventions and revision behaviour before allowing the feed to drive procurement or production release.
