Copying delivery time from 1st (unconfirmed) schedule line to confirmed SL

Question

Hi Friends
Long time since I visited our forum.
During order creation or change,  by selecting all items and using 'Edit- fast change of- Delivery date' menu option one can set a delivery date and time for all the items. This info moves to schedule line 1 (for the requested delivery date) Shipping tab to Arrival time field. However if an item (s) is not confirmed for the requested date, then a second schedule line is created for the confirmed date based on user's choice in the ATP dialog window. Now the issue is that delivery time is not copied to the new SLs. And it will be cumbersome to enter it by going into the SL-Sales tab for multiple items via  their confirmed SLs.  Is there a config way ( I doubt it) to get the delivery time (only time) copied to the confirmed SLs from the first SL. Or user exit is the only route?  if so is it FORM USEREXIT_MOVE_FIELD_TO_VBEP    in MV45AFZZ? Does this info stay once it comes via this user exit or do we need to do anything extra during Sales document save or prepare? Oh, by the way, we are set up for complete delivery and fixed date/qty checked.
Let me know ASAP. Thanks.

Hi
If I understand you, the problem is that EZEIT is initial, ie; VBEP-EZEIT = 0 (ie: it has the value on dynpro'00:00:00' depending of the format of your country). The problem for this userexit is that it's called in the end of subroutine VBEP_FUELLEN in the include FV45EFEP_VBEP_FUELLEN. If you read the ABAP coding you have the call to a subroutine before:
* Anlieferzeit ermitteln
      perform vbep-ezeit_ermitteln.
If you read it in include FV45EF0V_VBEP-EZEIT_ERMITTELN, you can read this coding:
  if vbep-ezeit = 0.
    if vbep-edatu ne *vbep-edatu or vbep-prgrs ne *vbep-prgrs or
       ( svbep-tabix = 0 and ( vbep-wmeng ne 0 or vbep-bmeng ne 0 ) ).
      perform anliefertermin_pruefen using vbep-prgrs
                                           vbep-edatu
                                           vbep-ezeit
                                           vbep-cmeng
                                           vbep-bmeng
                                           da_dialog
                                           da_edatu
                                           da_ezeit
                                           sy-subrc.
      if sy-subrc = 2.
        vbep-ezeit = da_ezeit.
      endif.
    endif.
  endif.
* Sekunden sind bei Lieferplänen für Zulieferer nicht relevant
  check not vbak-abdis is initial and
        not vbep-ezeit+4(2) is initial.
  clear vbep-ezeit+4(2).
I think that you are looking for this, am I right? Surely, you knew it before to post this subject.
Alghough the purpose of userexit is populate fields from an append (fields ZZ) but it's possible to change others. I suggest to think about this, because I think that it's the same and you can know the checks to avoid inconsistencies. If you need something else, please let us know.
This is only a suggestion. I hope this helps you
Regards
Eduardo
