Can the Delivery Date be left with no value in Purchasing Order?

Hi SAP Experts,
Good day! I just want to ask if it is possible for the Delivery Date in the Purchase Order to be left with no value? Whenever we remove the delivery date, it comes back when we save the PO. Is there a way for it to be blank?
Thanks,
Matt

hi Senthil P,
Here is the situation. For most of the PO that we are creating, we rarely use the delivery time. However, there are rare occasions where we put the delivery date. We made an enhancement of our PO print out and the date in the delivery date field was taken from the table. Is there a way where the delivery date in the printout can be left blank and show it when we need to?
Thanks,
Matt

Can we receive goods before the delivery date

Hi all
Can we receive goods before the delivery date i.e.
PO is created on 10/04/2008 and in the PO delivery date is given as 14/04/2008.
But if the vendor sends me material on 12/04/2008 system allows me to post the material.
Is there any settings to restrict GR before the delivery date.

Material availability date can not be after the delivery date

Dear Experts,
we are using the following scnario,
1. Once the user creates the sales order, automatically system creates PO in the background.
we have created Bapi program for creation of Background PO in SD User Exit.
The following issue occurs in Prd, DS1, QS1 server, We have done Technical upgradation project, Now when we creates sales order automatically po created with error message of Material availablity date can not be after the delivery date. even sales order no also not updated in the PO.
QAS server (without technical upgrade) i refered the same input parameter and used the same and create the sales order system generates PO automatically without error message.
Does any one can through lights on this issue,
Thanks and Best Regards,
Muralidharan S

Hi
The dates are determined due to shipping and transportation scheduling settings. So check whether the shipping and transportation scheduling is being performed as per the cofiguration settings after Technical upgrade. Since the MAD date should not be after Delivery date but it seems that the dates are not determined properly.
Also check the Transit time, Loading time, Pick/Pack time and Lead time are retained as same as before the technical upgrade. Use the QAS server settings to validate the settings in other servers.

Why the delivery date in the order not changing with P.O???

Hi All,
I am encountered with an issue that in a P.O the delivery dates are kept as customer requested delvery date and these cahnges are not updating in the order.
According to standard SAP the change in delivery dates in a P.O should get updated in sales order.But its not happening if we keep this date as customer requested delivery date,Why is it so?
I would explain with an example so that it would be clear:
An order is created say 03/31/2011 and the requested delivery date is 05/02/2011.
Confirm delivery date is 05/10/2011 (because in purchase info record it is 40 days)
Now when P.O is created this confirm delivery dates will come.If we change these dates to any other dates it would replicate in the order.But if we keep these dates as customer requested delivery date, it is not changing in the order.
Please any one help me out....
Regards & thanks.

Dear,
Please check the timing in work scheduling view. other wise schedule the routing and maintain time there and check your result.
In material Master MRP2 screen you will get Scheduling Screen where you will get
In-house production
GR processing time
Plnd delivery time
These are lot size independent but value in work scheduling view are lot size dependent.
Go to VOV8 and check the Lead time part. If u will maintain lead time of 2 days, the req deliverty date will be 2 days frm order creation date.
You can configure this in the configuration of the Sales document type in VOV8. Here we can specify the value and as per that configuration the date will be defaulted.

Can the "Delivery Frequency Calendar" be used with Commodities?

A customer has many Suppliers in China that have different calendars
for observing Chinese New Year.
They must account for these schedules to order in time, so they do not miss fulfilling sales orders.
According to Note 175935.1 , it appears that the ASL needs to be assigned to items.
However; they are using a global ASL rule for a commodity instead of an item.
Test Case:
Create a "Delivery Frequency Calendar" a "Build"
Add the calendar to the ASL
Run MRP and see that the planned order has a dock date inside of the days
specified as "off".
Can the "Delivery Frequency Calendar" be used with Commodities?
If so, how does one set this up?
Thanks in advance.

The customer explains the following:
Organization Code = APP (Organization_id = 124)
Part Number = 0328078 (Inventory_item_id = 102991)
Item 0328078 exists in Organization APP
Lead Times Preprocessing Lead Time 1 Org
Lead Times Cumulative Total Lead Time ~ Org
Lead Times Variable Lead Time ~ Org
Lead Times Lead Time Lot Size 1 Master
Lead Times Fixed Lead Time ~ Org
Lead Times Cum Manufacturing Lead Time ~ Org
Lead Times Processing Lead Time 65 Org
Lead Times Postprocessing Lead Time 3 Org
MRCNEW debug log file with the Inventory_item_id = 102991 details:
https://gtcr.oracle.com/gtcr-dir/gtcr_106036848/6564940.993/MBPlanner_2nd_run.req</font>
Please review the file 0328078_Setup.doc and the Supply Chain Planning report.
So, support researched the issue more and came up with:
Note.466300.1 "Organization Based Commodity Sourcing Rule Not Being Considered During Checkout"
Note.466220.1 "How Does The Commodity Based Sourcing Work For Internal Requisitions?"
However; the customer responded with:
"We release out of the planners workbench, as well as purchase release drop
ship S.O.s out of OM, and the P.O. is automatically created correctly to
the correct Supplier/Site based on our S.R., A.S.L., and quotations.
Doesn't that indicate it is finding and using the S.R., A.S.L., and
quotations?"
Subsequently, support located using Autodiagnose "MRP commodity sourcing
dock date":

I pre-ordered an iPhone 6 Plus and the delivery date now says October 14th. The point of the pre-order is to get it on release day (or shortly thereafter). Can I go to a Verizon store to pick up my new phone on release day?

I pre-ordered an iPhone 6 Plus and the delivery date now says October 14th. The point of the pre-order is to get it on release day (or shortly thereafter). Can I go to a Verizon store to pick up my new phone on release day?

I'm not sure that answers the question Candice.
I'm in the same situation. I was up trying to get on the Verizon page at 11:55, kept getting the ECPD error. When finally got through, the Silver Iphone Plus 64 showed arrival of 9-19. At every step of the process, it seemed that I was ordering a phone that would arrive on day1. At no point did it say this was an estimate. At no point did it say it might change. In a big yellow box, it said "9-19". Ordered it, then got confirmation email stating it should arrive at 9-19. Seems like all should be good, right? Order site said 9-19, I've got a confirmation email saying 9-19, done and done.
Then I check the website, and suddenly it changed to 10-14?!?!?!? I feel like this was a bait and switch. I was able to pickup an iphone5 in a local store on launch day, and would not have locked myself into a preorder through Verizon if I had known this would happen!
So, that leads back to the original questions. Lets assume I walk into a Verizon store on 9-19, and there is an available iphone6 plus just sitting there, can I either get that phone as fulfillment of my pre-order. Or, cancel my pre-order and buy that phone right then and there?

If the iphone 4 (8G) shipment was delay behind of the delivery date, can i cancel the order without charge?

Dear Sir/Madam,
Recently, I was ordered the iphone 4 (8G) in HK and got the status of receiving the iphone on date 26-Nov or before. However, I haven't receive any iphone on that day so i was contact the apple hotline on monday morning (office hr, mon-fir, 9-6). They said i can cancel the order and wavie the cancel order charge. At this moment, i believed that this is settled.
However, afternoon in same day, Apple's customer service told me that i can't wavie the cancel order charge and suggest me to accept the order. If i can't accept the order, they will charge me 15% order fee. So i confirmed them to receive the order on next day again.
On next day (tuesday), i waited the order, but the order was not delivery to me (result dhl was delivery it to apple store). I was angry to contact your customer service, they replied me to say "I don't know why" and convinced me to "accept it devliery on the next day". At this moment, they made me very disappointed. So, I tried to apply the cancel order again, they said if you cancel order, you will need to pay 15% cancel order fee.
Up to now, the order was delayed two working days. I suspected the delivery date was incredible. How do i trust your product delivery on time?
And I am so argry that why your order cannot delivery to me on time and why if your order cannot delivery to me on time, can i waive the cancel order charge?
My order number: W239678975
Thx a lot.
your faithfully,
George

@Dougnvic, no need to worry because I'm here to help! The vibrate function is very important especially when you're in a situation where you cannot have the ringer turned on.
If we replace your phone through the warranty you are only charged for the equipment if there is any damage on the phone. The normal wear and tare is expected and you will not be billed for the phone because of these scratches.
Once the phone is received it is inspected for any physical or liquid damage. If damage is found you are then billed for the phone and the charge will appear on your bill. You will also receive a text message advising you of the charge. Once you are billed the charge cannot be removed even if you return the replacement.
If you change your mind and do not want to have the phone replaced you can just return the replacement once you receive it and keep your current phone. Just use the prepaid return label that will be inside the box of the replacement.
If you are sure there hasn't been any damage then there is nothing to worry about. You will not be charged. You can also take the phone into a store and have a store representative take a look at the phone before you return it, if that makes you feel better.

I also want to show the delivey date with line Item, so Itried to use EKET-EINDT but it is returning the delivery date of last line item, means while printing the first line and other information it is showing the delivery date of the last line item, I tried with the PEKPO-EINDT it is also not working.
Can any body suggest me how i can get the delivery date for the respective line Item ?

actually your are picking up the correct data from Table EKET (EKET-EINDT) but your are printing that in item data loop for EKET might have already executed in your script and the header of that internal table consist the last entry of the table so for that. Fetch the delivery date explicite from the Table EKET when your in item level processing and print that.
For Example u can use this code.
To print you have write the this code in Script item level printing window "MAIN" window
Following perform is called to get the line item delivery date in PO

/: USING &EKPO-EBELN&

write the below code in the Z program "ZPerform_prog"
{ FORM get_del_date TABLES in_par STRUCTURE itcsy
                         out_par STRUCTURE itcsy.

How to adjust the delivery date in PR generated by MRP

Hi.
We use MRP to generate PRs. The PRs are generated and the delivery date is also being calculated based on PR processing time + planned del. time + GR process.time.
However my requirement is that the delivery date in the PR should be always Tuesday for the week we need the parts.
E.G. Say MRP run has created a PR with delivery date as 28.02.2008, then system should automatically shift that date to Tuesday's date 26.02.2008 for that week.
IF PR delivery date as per MRP is say 03.03.2008 (Monday), then system should automatically make it to Tuesday's date 04.03.2008.
so in short , each and every PR generated for any vendor , the delivery date should be always the tuesday's date in front of the week we need the parts.
So is there any standard setting or functionality available in SAP to achieve the same.?
IF not, then is there any user exit to achive the same.?
Pls help.
Thanks and regards

Can you please help me by informaing how can I run Time phased planning.
My requirement is that MRP Run should give me the PRs with delivery date as Tuesday. Say planned del.time is 28 days . Pur.proc.time is 2 days and GR procee.time is 1 day.
I want to run MRP every week. and. How can I set up period and what to set.?
Questions:
1) Calculation rule: Weekly with 'perid begins on (2) Tuesday?
2) Minimum period: 1 day. Is it right?
3) Valid from and valid to date: I am specifying as per my requirement: (how much it should be?)
4) How to run MD03.
Any general guideline on how timephased planning woks?
Like we need to run every week on spcified day , it generates requirement for the weeks in question only , or etc etc. .
I have never used timephased planning. So can you please help me.
Thanks

System does not propose the delivery date based on factory calendar

Hi,
I am creating a sales order for a delivery date for this sat which is (2/22/09)
I have maintained 2 separate calendars for
1) shipping point
2) for the route
The route has a transit time of 1 day and the calendar has sat and sunday as non working.
the Shipping point has a pick/pack time of 1 day and the calendar has sat and sunday as non working
The material is available in the warehouse
Now when i create this sales order i enter the delivery date as 2/22/09, the system does not propose me the delivery date of monday (i.e 2/23/09) It accepts the 2/22/09 delivery date.
In the schedule line i do see the date as 2/22/09 only.
The delivery was created with the following dates
Picking = 2/17/09
Transportation Planning = 02/18/2009
Loading =02/18/2009
Planned GI= 02/18/2009
Delivery Date = 02/22/2009
How can the system give me the delivery date of a sunday when the calendar doesnt allow sunday as working day.
Also the route time is 1 day in transit so i am not sure why the system is proposing a 3 day transit time?
Can any one explain the behaviour of SAP for the delivery date logic

Dspsac,
Delivery date can be any date. For instance, if your customer insisted on a Sunday delivery, you would accommodate him, regardless of any calendar.
From the delivery date, the system counts backwards USING THE FACTORY CALENDAR ASSIGNED TO THE ROUTE by the number of days in the route. You have to consult the FC assigned to your Route to determine if the GI date has been properly calculated.
From the GI date, the system counts backward Pick/pack time, using the shipping point calendar, to arrive at Material availability date.
Calculations are explained in SAP online help

The delivery date in Sales Order VA01

Hi,
I am wondering how the sales order process goes in term of business given that I am not an SD person.
Normally, when a customer rep receive a sales order, the customer will request the date in which the goods are require.
Thus, during the sales order creation, the person will key in the material, order quantity, and the delivery date.
Example, customer wants the goods to deliver on Nov 25th 2011
My confusion arise when the ATP check (i.e. the three section proposal date) find out that the goods are only available on December 10th 2011. Thus, the committed schedule line with committed quantity is copied from the ATP proposal screen to the 2nd scheduline line item with delivery date as Dec 10th, and the committed quantity. The following is the VA01 screen
Schedule Line tab of item detail view:
Dely Date -
OrderQty----CommitQty
11.10.2011--3--
0
18.10.2011--0--
3
Sales Order Overview screen:
MaterialOrderQty-itemCat-FirstDate -
Plant
10000----2pcTAN11.10.2011-----AU01
Question.
1 - Do you feedback to the customer saying that the Delivery Date that can reach you is 11.10.2011 or 18.11.2011?
tuff

hi tuffy,
here system will check ATP while sales order and confirm delivery date,if u r making sales order on 11.10.2011 but system will confirm delivery date in schedule line.
u can take ur msg reference where system is taking order on 11.10.2011 and confirm qty for delivery on 18.11.2011 so customer delivery date would be 18.10.2011.

How to Restrict Single Delivery Date for PO with Multiple Line Items

Dear Experts,
How to Restrict Single Delivery Date for PO with Multiple Line Items.
System needs to through Error Message if User Inputs Different Delivery Dates for PO with Multiple Line Items in ME21N Tcode.
Can we achive this by Some Enhancement in SAP or Not ???
If so how to do it.
Any Inputs is highly appreciated.
Thanks and Regards,
Selvakumar. M

Hi Selvakumar,
we can resrict the PO to have a single delivery date in all the line items by means of giving a error message or overwiting the delivery date keyed/determined in the line item.
You can use the BADI -> ME_PROCESS_PO_CUST. In which you need to implement the method PROCESS_SCHEDULE.
(for technical aid - This method will be called for each and every PO line item, From the imporing parameter im_schedule we can get all the details of current PO line, even we can change the data in the current PO line. )

Delivery tolerance (based on the delivery date)

Dear All
How to maintain delivery tolerance (based on the delivery date) in Purchasing Order
Would you help me, please
thanks
imron

YOu can try with
u2022 ST: Date variance (value x days)
The system calculates for each item the product of amount * (scheduled delivery date - date invoice entered) and compares this product with the absolute upper limit defined. This allows relatively high schedule variances for invoice items for small amounts, but only small schedule variances for invoice items for large amounts.
IN transaction code OMR6 for a company code.
