ABSTRACT:
Methods and system for scheduling purchase orders are disclosed. The method includes defining a purchasing order for a delivery period, the purchase order having two or more items, and the delivery period corresponding to two or more order periods. The method also includes determining a latest order period for each item to satisfy a pre-determined lead time between order placement and delivery for delivery in the delivery period, and assigning each item to one of the order periods. At least one item in the purchase order is assigned to a latest order period of the at least one item.
