Availability date in Sales Order

Hi.........
Can anyone help me to find a BAPI for getting the Availability date for the materials (items) in Sales Order....
Thanks in advance
Abhi......

Hi,
You can get it from VBEP-MBDAT by passing the order number, item number and schedule line item number.
Please note that this date is not at item level but at schedule line item level. So there is a possibility that one item may have different dates when you have multiple schedule lines.
Thanks,
Vinod.

Material Availability Date of Sales Order

An issue 1 :
There is material which is GATP relevant and stock is available in APO and R3.When GATP check is performed MAD Date is shown as Current Day +1,where as it should be Current Day only.And this issue happens on Friday only i.e GATP returns Current day as MAD day on other than friday.
An issue 2 :
There are Sales Order already created for a material sat mat1 with availability check code "ZF" in MRP3 tab of material master.The MAD has already been calculated with existing settings through GATP functionality.
What is required that change the availability check code in MRP3 tab of material master to "ZB" and re-check the availability of the already created sales orders in R3.
But what we understand since Sales Order already created for Availability check code "ZF",new changed "ZB" will not impact the ATP check.
An issue 3 ;
What are the settings influence the calulations of MAD in APO and R3.
Is there any way this can be achieved.

Manish,
First, you will always get better responses in this forum if you enter one issue per post. Many people are unwilling to respond to a multi-question posting.
Issue 1. There are dozens of factors that can contribute to a Material Availability date in APO. Are you using RBA? Allocation? ATP against a forecast? CTP? Transportation Scheduling? etc etc etc......
The most likely reason is that you have an issue with with valid workdays in one of the calendars that affect your GATP check.
Issue 2 - This is mostly an R/3 issue. The practice you call out (change the MM ATP checking group and re-atp the order) is only supported by SAP in a limited way. The easiest way I have found to do this is to open the sales order, remove the plant from the item, and then save the order. Make your changes to the MM. Wait until the MM changes get to SCM. Now, re-open the sales order, and re-enter the plant. If you are lucky, the sales order will re-read the updated MM data, and re-atp the order in SCM using the updated SCM data. Now, re-save the sales order.
By the way, don't think that you can now blithely change the ATP checking group in R/3 back to the old value. You will face additional problems in delivering and shipping the order later. The process I described should only be used to correct an existing MM error.
Also, be aware that any ATP checking group beginning with a 'Z' has been customized for your company. You should contact the local SD expert to see what changes your company had made for these ZD and ZB groups.
Issue 3 - GATP is a large module in SCM. There are many types of checks. Each one has it's own items that can affect MAD (generation of MAD is the prime output of GATP). I couldn't possibly cover them all in a single posting. The standard SAP overview class for GATP is 3 days, and this class doesn't go into much detail. I strongly recommend that you consult with your local GATP functional expert, or consider hiring an expert GATP consultant if you wish to proceed with your development of APO GATP.
Good luck!

Update Material Availability Date for Sales Order having a Delivery

Dear Gurus,
We have a bit out of the way scenario. There is a o/b delivery already added to a shipment. And then we receive a IDOC from external MES System (i.e. Production) with new material availability date. This new material availability date is updated on Sales Order. In short the order is delayed.
Current Solution:
In this case the user has to remove the delivery from the shipment manually. then the IDOC deletes the delivery and the updates the sales order with new date followed by creation of new delivery.
The business expects to updated the Sales Order material availability date without changing Shipment / delivery. Any solution?
Current solution has to be changed as for Shipment purpose changes are made to delivery which are lost when the delivery is deleted.

hi
in this case you have to adopt the business process change.
you have to update the EDI first and then you create delivery.

Two Delivery dates in Sale Order against one item

Dear All
I need two delivery dates in sale order. one is default at the time of creation sale order. second i need actual delivery date which will be confirmed by production planning department after analysis the order whether material can be ready on that delivery date or it need to change. Actual delivery date may vary from original delivery date and both need to preserve in system. kindly provide solution. best regards.
Manjit

You need to select the Availability & Transfer of Req. check box in Schedule Line Configuration.It will transfer the req. to PP.So while creating the sale order , schedule Lines will be confirmed as per the Available Stock.
System will give you the Default Delivery Date as the Date added after Lead Time in days in the Configuration.Else system will give the Current Date.

Schedule Delivery Date in Sale Order

Dear All,
I have an order on 03.11.2009 (today) and its last delivery date is 15.11.2009. It means that I have to deliver the complete order on or before 15.11.2009.
So where can I put this date in Sales Order?
Regards,
Vishal

Hi Vishal,
Your Last Delivery Date can be entered in the "Requested Delivery Date" field in the sales order.
By doing so, the system will give us a confirmation that whether the delivery can be made possible on the Requested Delivery Date or NOT (The status can be seen by going in to the Schedule Line Level of your line item).
The system also gives us the NEXT POSSIBLE DELIVERY DATE with the confirmed Quantity as a Second Line item in the Schedule line level.
The System considers mainly the Material Available Date to come to a conclusion on the Delivery Date of the goods. Also, there are other activities (Loading Time, Transporation Planning Time etc) for which some time will take and that also need to be considered (The same can be seen by going in to the Schedule Line Level of your line item and then click the Shipping button).
Your Scenario: In your case, the delivery can happen ON OR BEFORE the Last Delivery Date.
So for that follow the steps:
Step 1: Put the Last Deliv Date in to the "Requested Deliv Date" field in Sales Order.
Step 2: After enetering the other necessary details in the sales order then Save it. Now go the Schedule Line level of your line item and look for the Confirmation of the Delivery Quantity on the Requested Delivery Date.
If Yes: Then its your wish that you can Prepond the Delivery Date by giving the required Delivery date during your delivery document creation.
If No:
Then you have look for the Next Possible date. OR Make sure that you can manage all your other activities like Loading, Transporation Planning etc. in 10 - 12 days time and make your material Availabilty today and do the delivery.

How system determine delivery date in sales order

Hi, sap gurus
I am new to sdn forum please help me regarding my question
1) how the system will determine delivery date in sales order
2) what are factors effects to conform sales order stock
3) what is different between static check and damanic check in credit mgt
Thanks and regards
nishad

hi,
Reg question:1 - System determines the Requested Delivery Date based on the Scheduline assigned to the item category of the item in sales order.the schedule line in the order transfers the requirements trhu MRP (can be individual or collective) . If its ruch order , you configure the order type "Deliver Immediately".
In Detail:
The TOR depends on the Requirement Type (MMR), Requirement Class(MMR), Checking group(MMR) and the Sc line category (Line Item). For the TOR to happen u need Plant at line item, scheduline category markd for TOR, Requirement Class marked for TOR and Checking group in MMR (Availability check)
What all stocks need to be checked during Availability check is controlled by using the checking rule.. for example for AV -02 Ind Requirements a checking rule will be assigned and this checking rule- and then what all stocks need to be considered to determine the delivery can be maintained here.

Change Delivery date in Sales Order

Hi all
I want to change Request Delivery Date in Sales Order. But when I changed Request Delivery Date system appear" The default date is not copied into existing schedule lines"
And Delivery Date didn't change.Could you tell me how to change Delivery Date ?
I setup Request Delivery Date - September 21th but Availability Date is September 19th. Could you tell me how to setup loading time, picking time, packing time ?
Thank and Best regards,
Thang

Hi,
When you change the Request Delivery Date, it automatically changes the schedule line date of all the materials, but by default does not change the schedule line date of the ordered material.
So just check the ordered material schedule line date and change it manually in the order.
Similarly maintain the same date in all the resp fieldsi in the delivery, wherever you see the date.

Siddharth.

Delivery date and sales order creation date

Dear all
Can you please explain the relation between delivery date and sales order date. In my case i can create delivery with delivery date as before the sales order date... how it is possible that i can create delivery before the sales order date.??
Please explain.........
Warm Regards
Inder Pal

Hi,
Sales order date: Date on which the customer officially places an order to your company.
All the commitment and product allocation counting starts with reference to this date.
e.g. customer says that the goods are required from 20 days of placing order, then from this date the calculation starts.
Delivery date: Date on which after the system goes through material availability date, replenishment time, calculates the date on which physically the goods can be delivered to the customer.
e.g. customer orders 100 qty of material X in 15 days, you will hve to check this delivery date through availability check which can be done in sales order and also delivery.
payment date is based on this delivery date.
regards,
Siddharth.

Determination of First Date in Sales Order

Hello SAP Friends,
Below is the issue we realised during the testing. The issue is with First date in the Sales Order which is not updated as per Unloading Point Calendar .
As per details I received, it should refer Unloading Point Calendar for ShiptoParty and populate the next working day as First date into Sales Order.
How is First Date determined in the sales order? Is there any config settings which is based on Route to do this? Or Is it controlled purely based on settings done in Tcode: VOV8, Leadtime days? I do not think VOV8 settings is controlling that in our APO system.
I have checked MAD, Pick/Pack, GI date all are populated correctly, But First Date did not follow the logic Unloading Point Calendar of ShiptoParty.
Please let know your inputs in this regard.
Thank you
Satish Waghmare

Satish,
I unfortunately don't have a solution for you. However, here are a few observations, and a question.
My experience is that 'First Date' in R/3 is not determined. In every sales order I have ever seen, First Date is proposed (matches the requested delivery date in the Sales order header) by the system, but can be overridden by any changes that the user may elect to make.
Generally, then, after First Date is entered, the R/3 system then may be configured to determine certain master data: Shipping Point, Unloading Point, Route, Route Schedule. From this master data, if you are performing ATP in R/3, the system will then also calculate various dates (if configured) for the confirmed schedule proposal: Normally these calculated dates are Delivery Date, Goods Issue Date, Loading Date, Material Availability date, Transportation Planning Date. If you have configured Route Schedules in R/3, other dates may be determined.
If you are performing ATP in APO, then any such scheduling must be performed in APO. Relevant Master data that was determined in R/3 is carried across to APO during the ATP check and is then used to calculate appropriate durations. This does not happen automatically, you have to configure the scheduling technique you wish to use in APO.
So, my first question: Are you performing ATP in APO? If not, then you should probably close this post, and re-enter in one of the SD forums, since it is an SD issue. If you are performing ATP in APO, then what scheduling technique are you using?
Best regards,

Next date in sales order, how to change it? if change it does it triggres

Quick and simple question... what can change a Sales Order Next Date (field VBAK-CMNGV)?? it got changed for one of my Sales Orders according to the changes log via VA02, but no idea how... as I can not see the field via VA03.
Appreciate any help in this regard,
Next date in sales order, how to change it? if change it does it triggres credit check
Thanks
Krishna

Hi,
The next date available if you activated payment card processing
In the sales order header, this field specifies the next planned delivery date and In the delivery header, the field specifies the next planned picking or goods issue date.
This field is used in connection with next delivery/service
If you are not using payment cards in sales order then this will not impact any of your business transaction
Go to HEADER >> Tab PAYMENT CARDS

Calculation of dates in Sales order in gATP

Hi
Can anybody please tell me how scheduling works for the following dates in sales orders for materials planned in gATP.
1) Unloading date 2) Delivery date 3) Goods issue date 4) Loading date 5) Material availability date 6) Transportation planning
My understanding is that gATP gives the MAD date and other remaining dates like transportation planning date, unload date etc are calculated using master data in the calling system eg ECC.
We are facing an issue in our system where if a material is planned in ECC, it has all dates in the sales order calculated as expected based on ECC master data.
If the same material is planned in gATP, it simply copies the MAD date to all other dates. So it is not considering the pick/pack , transportationplanning times from the ECC master data.
Is this standard system behaviour and to avoid this Do we need to activate Scheduling in gATP along with master data maintenence in APO ?or any user exit plus execution steps is avaialble to by pass APO master data mentaince.
Appreciate your responses...Regards - Amit

Amit,
We are facing an issue in our system where if a material is planned in ECC, it has all dates in the sales order calculated as expected based on ECC master data.
If the same material is planned in gATP, it simply copies the MAD date to all other dates.
The system where the parts are planned is irrelevant. The important issue is the system where the ATP is conducted.
My understanding is that gATP gives the MAD date and other remaining dates like transportation planning date, unload date etc are calculated using master data in the calling system e.g. ECC.
I have never seen that statement validated in any SAP documentation.
From online help:
SAP R/3 uses the order type to determine whether shipment scheduling or transportation scheduling should be executed.
If scheduling is activated, SAP R/3 determines a plant for the material for each item. If it is specified in the integration model that the availability check should take place in SAP APO for a material in this plant, transportation and shipment scheduling also takes place in SAP APO.
Standard SAP APO GATP supplies three different methods for shipment scheduling. If you are conducting ATP in APO, and you have not configured one of the three scheduling methods, then shipment scheduling does not take place, and the system will react as you have described.
Read up on it here

Required delivery date in sales order shoud not be less than the inhouse pd

Customer Requested Dates (CRD) entered in orders are often shorter than Product form wise lead time.
Logic to be configured in SAP : SAP should capture the CRD as per the lead time of Products or Date entered by sales persons (whichever is later).
Required delivery date in sales order shoud not be less than the inhouse production lead time.
Please help.
Regards

IMG - Sales and Distribution - Basic Functions - Availability Check and Transfer of Requirements - Availability Check - Availability Check with ATP Logic or Against Planning - Carry Out Control For Availability Check
Here select the combination of your Availability Check & Checking Rule.
Under Replenishment Lead TIme, you need to put a Tick Mark in the Check Box of "Check without RLT"
This will make sure that system considers either the Requested Delivery Date or actual Material Availability Date, which ever is earlier.
Hope this helps.
Thanks,

Block Pricing Date in Sales Order

hello guys,
I've a question regarding pricing date in sales order. I want to make pricing date in sales order uneditable for most of the users and only few allowed users will be given access to change it.
So how can i do that?....Do I need to use User exit for it or is there any other solution available.?
Thanks

Hi Tarun,
You need to go for user exit as per Mr.Eduardo said,in that you maintain a Z table to which user id it should allow to change and
to which it should not,you maintain those details in Z table, according to that system will allow to change the authorized user id
only.
Check and revert

There are many things which determines the delivery dates.
01. PICK TIME+ PACK TIME +LOADING TIME
02. LEAD TIME in days (VOV8)
03. Shipping point
04. Scheduling line
05. Kind of availblity check
06. If the above things are maintained as blank then the current date will be the delivery date
However whether it must be proposed by the system or not is determined by one check box there find in VOV8 in requesteed delivery date determination tab.
