    Note: If the Next Commit Type is Greige and it is within the Greige issuing period, the status is changed to Greige Submitted.

    Note: If the Next is Color/Finish and it is within the Color/Finish issuing period, the status is changed to Color Submitted.

    Note: If it is a surplus line added under the summary for Greige, the status will be changed to Greige Committed; if it is added under the summary for Color/Finish, the status will be changed to Color Submitted; meanwhile the liability type is shown as Potential.

    Note: There is a configuration parameter controlling the Issue Period of BMCs (i.e., how many days). The Issuing Period represents the time period before the due date when users may issue BMCs and it is used to prevent issuing a commitment too early. Users are only able to issue BMCs during or after the issue period.

    Note: The data will be re-calculated according to the following formulas when changing the status of the selected line(s) to Greige Submitted or Color Submitted:

    For assortment line,

    If Used Qty is not involved, Next Commit Qty = Assortment Demand - (Greige Committed Qty + Color/Finish Committed Qty).

    If Used Qty is involved, when Liability Qty in the Demand Line Detail with Liability Assortment Demand in the submitted Demand Line Detail for Assortment - (Greige Committed Qty + Color/Finish Committed Qty) - (New Used Qty - last issued Used Qty), then

    New Used Qty = last issued Used Qty +Assortment Demand from submitted Demand

    Line Detail for Assortment - (Greige Committed Qty + Color/Finish Committed Qty);

    Used Qty in the Demand Line Detail with Liability = Used Qty in the Demand Line

    Detail with Liability - (New Used Qty - last issued Used Qty) in the submitted.

    Demand Line Detail for Assortment, if Used Qty in the Demand Line Detail with Liability > 0, show blank if it is 0.

    When Liability Qty in the Demand Line Detail with Liability < the Assortment Demand in the submitted Demand Line Detail for Assortment - (Greige Committed Qty + Color/Finish Committed Qty) - (New Used Qty - last issued Used Qty), then New Used Qty = last issued Used Qty + Liability Qty in the Demand Line Detail with Liability (Add Liability Qty in the Demand Line Detail with Liability to existing Used

    Qty if the submitted Demand Line Detail for Assortment is using up the Qty from more than one Demand Line Detail with Liability)

    Next Commit Qty = Assortment Demand from submitted Demand Line Detail for

    Assortment - (Greige Committed Qty + Color/Finish Committed Qty) - (New Used Qty - last issued Used Qty)

    Liability Qty in Demand Line Details with Liability = Liability Qty - Qty that has been used up.

    For Surplus line,

    Next Commit Qty = Non-Assortment Demand - (Greige Committed Qty +

    Color/Finish Committed Qty) - Used Qty in related issued assortment line.

    The demand line or surplus line cannot be edited with submitted status until changing the status to Review.
