This project default controls whether the planned dates of a planning item (like a planned requisition or a planned tagged item) should be recalculated automatically prior to their display in the milestone data on Planning pages.
-
Module(s) affected by this setting: Planning.
-
List of Values: Y (default) and N.
-
If set to Y, and the planned dates of a planning item are not locked by the user, and at least one of them depends on derivation, then the planned dates are recalculated automatically prior to their display in milestone data. This ensures that the date changes induced by re-derivation of planned dates (which happens automatically) are reconciled with the planned dates of successor milestones.
-
If set to N, then the planned dates are not recalculated upon querying milestone data for a selected planning item, and the planned dates are displayed as-is. Planned dates based on derivation rules are updated accordingly (given that the milestone plan is not locked by the user) but may not fit into the context of the other planned dates any longer, until the user manually triggers recalculation of the planned dates.
While this option offers limited backward compatibility with regards to the treatment
of planned dates by the software, it is recommended to use the default value for ZP_MS_ACPD and actively lock a milestone plan once it appears to be settled (to avoid further
modifications caused by re-derivation).
