The quantity required for a planning job card is the difference between the planned and actual job card; in the case of a normal job card, it is given by the actual quantity. Date of coverage item is a date of the end of production (Date to from header, resp. date of the end of last operation). If no deadline is set, the date 31.12.2999 is displayed. With this type, a negative item of an unconfirmed planning or normal job card with an "r" flag is also displayed in the coverage.
	7		?Will be produced: ? will be produced = record when the product is in the header of an unconfirmed planning or normal job card without the Realization option activated. And also the product in the header of the unconfirmed job card (regardless of the Realization flag). This record doesn't influence state of coverage! In Coverage a type standard doesn't display but it is possible to display it by editing of the file "StatusDef.xml" (it is saved in directory "Conf") and by copying of a file to an appropriate client.

Quantity of the requirements at a normal job card loads from a real quantity, at a planning job card as a difference between planning and real quantity. Date of item is taken in this order: date from an item. If it is zero, then a start date from an appropriate operation or if the item isn't in an operation, then Date from. If the job card is not scheduled, the date 31.12.2999 is displayed. Items of this type of coverage, but with a zero date (00.00.0000), are items of semi-finished products from job cards, but they will not be produced by their own job cards(there is no "To be produced" entry for these), but the required quantity will be provided by consuming the existing availability. In essence, these are items that block the required amount of availability for your needs. In the job card, these are items of semi-finished products, which in the form of the item on the tab 3 - Subordinates have the option From availability activated.
