In the boxes Delivery schedule Silf (the Swedish association for purchase and logistics) explain the term "delivery plan" in the following way: A delivery schedule is a plan/schedule for deliveries from supplier to customer. The delivery schedule is created by customer and generally contains a planning horizon of 0,5–1 year. Normally the delivery schedule quantities are assigned different statuses depending on the type of demand. It is common that for example the entered quantities in the immediate future (closest in time) actually are fixed orders. In an interval of a few months ahead of the fixed orders, the entered quantities might be considered as preliminary orders for which the customer is obliged to take financial responsibility for any material purchased by the supplier. The subsequent quantities entered are considered to be forecast only. (Translated from source https://www.silf.se/tjanster/ordlista-for-inkop-och-logistik/l/ [2018-08-29]).
