Use the GPP Wizard to Add Shelf Life Details to Package Sets

You can track concurrent pending changes to product shelf life information by examining shelf life details. You can use the Global Project Planning (GPP) wizard to add shelf life details to package sets in PDSs.

Before you use the GPP wizard to do this, do the following:
  • Make sure that you understand the constraints on shelf life details. See Shelf life/storage condition details.
  • Create one or more PDS templates that define the shelf life details that you want to add.
  • The package sets must exist in the destination PDS(s).
Note: The procedure below is a continuation of the Update Product Detail Sets project in the GPP wizard. The procedure presented in Creating an Update Product Detail Set Project must be initiated first.

  1. On the Select Action page, select Add Shelf Life.
  2. Click Next.
