What does this page do?
The schedule splits final contract items into planned periods, sets each period percentage, links required materials, and displays the timeline.

Key Step
Link period materials
Assign each material requirement percentage to the planned period. This link lets ProjectCraft aggregate time-based material demand and generate an accurate monthly procurement plan instead of showing contract totals only.
- Distribute material demand according to the expected execution timing.
- Unlinked materials cannot appear in the correct month of the procurement plan.
More accurate period distribution produces a more realistic monthly purchasing and supply plan.

- Execution and reports depend on the schedule.
