How To Fix ME360 - Checking horizon (&1 WDs) of &2 is &3 than its release horizon (&4 WDs)

ME360 - Overview

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: ME - Purchasing: General Messages

• Message number: 360

• Message text: Checking horizon (&1 WDs) of &2 is &3 than its release horizon (&4 WDs)

What causes this issue?

The number of working days (WDs) in the checking horizon (&V1& working
days) differs from the number of working days in the release horizon (
&V4& working days).

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

If the checking horizon is <ZH>smaller</> than the release horizon, the
tolerance check is only carried out for those schedule lines that fall
within the period defined by the checking horizon. The system will not
then carry out a tolerance check for the remaining schedule lines, i.e.
it accepts any percentage variance without generating a scheduling
agreement release.
<ZH>Example:</>
There are two checking periods of 5 and 10 days each. The checking
horizon thus amounts to 15 days. The release horizon amounts to 25
days.
The variances of the first 15 days lie within the tolerance limits. For
the remaining 10 days, there is a variance of 10 %. No scheduling
agreement release is generated.
If the checking horizon is <ZH>larger</> than the release horizon, the
checking periods you enter will only be taken into account in the
tolerance check up to the end of the release horizon.

System Response
