Calculating the planned delivery time in calendar days or working days

Hi,
It seems that there is a way to calculate the planned delivery time in calendar days instead of working days.
When I use the "Planned delivery time calculation" (WPDTC), in Evaluation Options, I got the message :
"Note that follow-on applications are currently interpreting the planned delivery time as calendar days.
If they should be interpreting the planned delivery time as working days, you need to modify these applications. If the planned delivery time should be calculated in working days, there needs to be a factory calendar in Customizing with the calendar ID Country of vendor."
When MRP create a PR -with MDBT, MD03 or MD01- I want my Planned delivery time to be in working days.
I can't manage to make that "If the planned delivery time should be calculated in working days, there needs to be a factory calendar in Customizing with the calendar ID Country of vendor."
I would appreciate your help.
Thanks

Hi,
I understand that it makes sense that vendors calendar has to be different (compared to my plant).
But, I still don't understand why in the SAP help, they say "If the planned delivery time should be calculated in working days, there needs to be a factory calendar in Customizing with the calendar ID Country of vendor."
It seems that planned delivery time may follow a calendar.
Thanks,
PYR

Planned Delivery time not considered after MRP run for scheduling

Dear All,
After running MRP, the planned delivery time maintained in Purchase info record is not taken into consideration for calculating start date of the schedule line of externally procured material generated by the system.
Planned delivery time is 3 days & Requirement of parent material falls on 15/02/2010. With this, system should calculate the start date for schedule line as on 12/02/2010 considering 3 days Planned Delivery time.
Any idea as to what might have gone wrong?
thx for your help in advance.

Hi,
Determination of PLD from the Purchase info record is maintained in transaction code:OMDT. Planned Delivery time is also maintained in Scheduling agreement. However, it is not calculating delivery date as well as release date.

Planned delivery time & GR Processing time

Hi all,
I would require a clarification on this one,
Scenario - After an MRP run, the Purchase Requisitions for materials are generated & the order release date is being calculated by subtracting only the planned delivery time from the requirement date. But to the best of my knowledge
"Purchase Order release date = Requirement date - (Planned delivery date + GR Processing time)"
Solution required - Is my understanding correct & if so, where should i make the changes to include the GR processing time for the computation of order release date. Is there any other field which i need to add to my PO release date computation. An early response in this regard would be highly appreciated.
Regards,
Vivek

Hi,
The order release date simply takes the requirement date and subtracts the planned delivery period (as you have indicated).
But this has ALREADY taken the GRP time into account and so you don't nedd to (and shouldn't) add it in again.
For example,
Material A has a Planned delivery period of 10 days and a GRP time of 3 Days. The date that the production order is to be started is 30 July.
The MRP run sees the requirement date as 30 July but it also sees the 3 days GRP and so it asks for the item to be delivered 3 days prior to this date (27th July).
The planned delivery period is 10 days and so the PO will need to be created by the 17th July.
So the dates are correct and do not need any further changes.
If you were to take the GRP time off again this would be wrong.

Regarding planned delivery time for Subcontracting process

1.Factory calender is maintained and assigned to the plant,SUNDAY is
not working day for Client,so the system is not planning any internal
activities for SUNDAY,up to here it is fine.
2.One semi finished material is produced by vendor.i.e.Sub contracting
process, it takes 2 days to complete.For vendor SUNDAY is not a
working day.
3.Planned delivery time is maintained as 2 days ,so that if PO is
release on MONDAY ,the delivery date on WEDNESDAY.
4.If requirement is on MONDAY ,In MRP Run System is generating the
release date on SATURDAY and delivery date on MONDAY,here system is
taking the calender days not the factory calender days,Client is
asking for correct delivery date.
5.Is there any way to tell the system that SUNDAY is not working day
for vendor,so that system will generate the release date on FRIDAY
and delivery date on MONDAY.
Please give your valuable inputs.

Hi
the following link might help you in setting the planned delivery time in your defined calendar, rather than the general calendar days.

Planned delivery time as workdays

Hello,
Do you know if there is any way to get the planned delivery time (MRP2 / MARC-PLIFZ) to workdays ?
For us, goods do not travel over week-end, that's why it does not work well for us.
It seems, that the standard version does not allow to calculate delivery time in working day. Do you know which user-exit I could use to change that ?
We create PR with MDBT, MD03 and MD01.
Thanks,
Regards,
PYR

Hello,
Thank you for your replies.
Could you tell me where I could define a calendar for my vendors ?
You say that delivery time depends upon the working of the vendor, but I didn't manage to define the working days of the vendors in SAP.
Thanks

Req date for an activity based on planned delivery time of component

Hi Experts
I wish to create activities for purchase and install an equipment.
The procurement activity is assigned with the component.
the planned delivery time is specifed (ex: 100 days)
Based on this value, can i get calculated the requirement date for the activity (Ex: today+100days) in stead of manual specification of date for the corresponding activity?
warm regards
ramSiva

Hi Ahmed
Thanks for your response. This seems to be good feature.
However, i could not get the date corrected for my activity after applying this function.
I have created an activity with normal duration 1day. For the same activity, i have assigned a compnent which has 100days planned del time.
Then i have used 'Transfer Del time --> duration'. But no change.
Could you suggest me right approach?
warm regards

Planned Delivery time in case of Scheduling Agreement

Hi All,
Does system consider the planned delivery time in case of Scheduling Agreement for Vendor like in normal Purchase order and requisition?
I am doing the MRP run, but system is taken planned delivery time into consideration. I have one material that is Inhouse produced material for plant X and Y Plant needs this material for further making of a finished goods.
Y plant have scheduling agreement for STO from plant X. After MRP Run required Delivery date in plant X for Material is same as plant Y. but from Plant X to Y, it take 4 days to reach. So Ideally in Plant X this delivery date should be less than 4 days as plant Y.
Please look into the issue and reply if you have some answers.
Thanks
Pavan

Hope you have maintained different Planned Delivery times in plant X and Plant Y as per your requirement. For procurement in Plant Y the system would consider the planned delievry time maintained in Plant Y. If you want in-house production time to be considered with Basis date sheduling during MRP run in PLant X then enter the in-house production time approprietely. Else if ou want to consider the exact routing times then consider Lead time scheduling in plant X.
If the above are maintained properly then you should get the desired result.

Is planned delivery time is considered in scheduling agreement ????

Hi experts
problem is that the schedule lines (for external procurement) generated from MRP are not taking the "" Planned delivery time into consideration"". System is only taking the G.R processing time.
I have mentioned the Planned delivery time in .
1) Scheduling agreement for 1 day.
2) In material master for one day.
3) In info record 1 day.
e.g Suppose req date is 13.07.2008. MRP run date 4.07.2008.
a) Planned delivery time = 1 day . B) G .R processing time = 3 days.
Now when i run the MRP on 4.07.2008.
Schedule line is generated on - 10.07.2008
Please Guide . How i can take care of that time which is requiered at vendor ends.
Regards
Rahul Bhardwaj

Go to OPPQ for that plant
Click on "External Procurement " tab and check if you have maintained any planned delivery time?
Tick indicator " Scheduling info record/agreement " (This will take Planned del time specified in scheduling info rec or agreement)

Planned delivery time issue

Hello Experts,
We have below requirement.
Created sales order for a particular material. Planned delivery time is picked from info record for that material and PR has been created.
We are converting PR into PO and the planned delivery time is fine. Now we are updating the ASN from vendor with some prior dates. In MD04, the same got updated. However the sales order still shows the old planned delivery time only. How to get the new planned delivery time in the sales order based on the ASN updated in PO.
Example:
Material: A
Planned delivery time is 10 in info record
Created sales order. Planned delivery time in the sales order is 10. PR created with fixed vendor and planned delivery time is 10 days from the date of creation.
Converted PO.
Now we received the ASN from Vendor that the vendor will deliver this material in five days. So accordingly we are updating the ASN in PO with delivery date.
In MD04, we could the new planned delivery time based on the ASN. However sales order delivery still shows the previouls delivery date only.
How to get the new delivery date in the sales order based on the ASN update?
Regards
Bala

This is not standard SAP logic. Required delivery date on the original line item stays as it was when you issued the order. Then you create a confirmation (ASN) that is relevant to MRP with the updated delivery date. Planning sees the new date and acts accordingly, and also in the order you can see both "old" and "new" (in the confirmation tab).

Planned delivery time Pickup from inforecord not material master data

Hi,
Currently the delivery dates of the orders are calculated with the delivery time which is marked in MM02. Since the purchasing integrates this information in the info record, we want the delivery date to be calculated with delivery time of the info record instead of calculating it with the data of MM02
Please suggest any config.
Thanks
Shital D

Hi,
Try like this, ME21N, put the vendor, material , plant and other Org elements, hit enter, and check P.O what is the planned delivery time that you are seeing, also is the same PIR also appearing in the P.O when you scroll to the right?
Also note.. that system might be picking 3, maybe saturday and sunday holiday is coming, check that too

Simoultaneous planned delivery time (MRP)

Dear Experts,
I would like to set my MRP for material purchases in order that I can have 2 different lead times, depending on the route (air/sea)
For instance, if MRP can supply enough material with 1kg or less, then it should take a shorter lead time for it would be air freight than if the minimum necessary was more than 1 kg. (Actual freight lead times= air 60 days, sea 90 days)
Best regards
Marco Aramini

Hello Marco
It is possible to have different lead times for different vendors on MRP.
On the customizing transaction OPPQ, choose the option "external procurement" and make sure that the flag "scheduling: info rec agreement" is set.
With this setting, the planned delivery time is read from the info record or from the scheduling agreement.
After that, you should create a quota arrangement for both vendors (see note 1508647 for details).
On the quota arrangement, you can use the minimum and maximum size to define that the source will only be selected if the lot size is higher than 1KG or smaller than 1 kg.
If have a more complex logic to select the vendor, you can use BAdI MD_MODIFY_SOURCE.

Purchasing: Planned delivery time

I have a material that are being purchased from 2 vendors. one vendor delivers the material in 2 days. the other takes 20 days. In the material master, I have to maintain the planned delivery time. As per the help info, I will need to maintain the average time here. So, that would be 11 days.
So, when I run MRP, 11 days will be taken as the planned delivery time. My planning is not going to be accurate if I choose any of the vendors.
Can anyone guide me how I can take care of this scenario?

Raj,
You maintain your planned delivery times for each vendor in your info records.
You need to ensure you have flagged the <i>scheduling info record/agreem.</i> flag (Determine Planned Delivery Time) in transaction OPPQ.
You also need to ensure that you have maintained source list entries for your vendors that are relevant for MRP.
Now the MRP run will consider the planned delivery time in the info record and not the material master.
Hope this helps.

Planned delivery time of an externally procured material

Hello All
     I am having a scenario wherein some of the raw materials are send out for subcontracting & in return we get a semi-finished, if suppose we send raw materials for 500EA of SF then we get back initially 50EA after 10 days & then 50EA after every 7 days, the initial lot of 50EA we get in 10EA because the vendor has to setup the line for production at his end. How can i map this into the SAP system as in how shall i decide the planned delivery time of this SF.
       Please clarify the entire process as in how it shall be mapped in SAP. Your inputs are highly appreciated and required.
Thanks in Advance
Regards,
J K Tharwani

Thanks for your valuable inputs dear,
          I agree that in purchase order itself we can maitain delivery schedules manually as per the delivery given by subcontractor.
          I am having a concern here, can't we simulate this in SAP so as Schedule lines are automatically created as per the order quantity & as per the delivery time for a given qty. Is there any functionality in SAP so that we can map this scenario as per the requirement, there would be definitely this provision in SAP, do throw some more light on this. Your valuable inputs & guidance are highly appreciated.
          Thanks again for your inputs.

Planned delivery time not updating real time in apo

Hi,
I have a location product which is part of the active integration model.
The location and product are both available in ECC and APO.
When i change the value of Planned delivery time in ECC, the changes do not get transfered to APO even after RIMODINI.
For e.g. the planned delivery time currently is 1 day and it is changed to 3 days, even after doing RIMODINI the changes are not reflected in APO.
Kindly suggest if somebody has come across this issue earlier.
Thanks & Regards.
Santosh Joshi

Hi Santosh,
Please check by tcode CFM5 weather material is there in IM or not .
Also check CFG1 log on R/3 and SLG1 or /SAPAPO/C3 or /SAPAPO/CQ in APO.
Please confirm.

Planned delivery time in PO

Hi All,
Can you please let me know how the planned delivery time is calculated in a STO. Is it possible to change it manually in the PO?
Regards,
Ashwin.

Hi Ashwin,
Bydefault it is taken from the Inforecord in Standard and in STO with Billing.
In STO w/o billing it is taken from the Material Master.( UB Doc Type )
