Delivery time calculation

Hello SD gurus,
I am facing following issue.
The delivery date (the date on which customer is to receive the goods) as i understand gets determined from transit time as indicated in route(once the GI is done). But in a scenario the transit time mentioned is 2 days where as system is adding only 1 day to arrive at delivery date.
example - Actual GI date 26.02.2010 and delivery date is populated as 27.02.2010 where as route has 2 days transit time.
Can i know what can be the reason.
Does times defined in shipping point has beraring on this , the setting are such that the times are defaukt from shiping point.
Also factory calander is not maintained in route . will this have any implication.
Regards
Vivek

Hi,
Maintain time in shiping point.also configure proper factory calender.

Delivery time calculation from purchase info records in MRP

Hi experts.
I am using MRP -manual reorder point planning . I have maintain the delivery lead time as 10 days . This material has a info-record for a vendor and a contract also. we maintain the delivery time for the supplier is 20 days in the info records. And a source list is also maintain for this material with reference to the contract and assigned as MRP relevant.
We run MRP of this material and create the PR directly.
we run ME59N for automatic creation of PO also.
what I see is the delivery time defined in the PR is consider as 10 days from the material master MRP view. But when we convert the PR to PO the delivery time is updated from the inforecord. but the delivery date in the PO line item is not update. It is showing the same delivery date as PR.
Is it possible to update the delivery date bas eon the info record when we convert from PR to PO automatically?
regards
DP

I don't know the answer to your question, but can point you in another direction; you can set the system up in such a way that already MRP (as per the way you have described that you work) will take into consideration the planned delivery from the Info record/Contract:
In transaction OPPQ check the "Scheduling: Info Rec/Agreement" box!
This will make MRP take the planned delivery time from the IR or Agreement, whenever the source (vendor) is identified during the MRP run.

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,

Plannned Delivery time not considered while calculating delivery date

Hi PP Gurus,
We have a situation is that after MRP run system is not taking into account planned delivery time while calculating delivery dates in schedule lines
It is taking into account GR processing time.We have GR processing time of 3 days.requirment date is 13.10.2011 & delivery date created by the system is 10.10.2011.
We have maintained correct master data i.e.Materail Master , Info record & Scheduling agreement.
Please advice why it is happening & what is the significance of planned delivery time in externaly procured materail with scheduling agrement schedule lines?
Thanks & Regards,
Sandesh

Hi Sandesh,
Is this happening for particular materials or for all materials
Couple of checks -
1) Check with material master changes, might be after MRP run PDT is updated in material master etc ..
2) Check in OPPQ, for option external procurement , whether scheduling info records/agree is marked or not
Best Regards

Schedule Line Delivery Date Calculation with Transportation Scheduling

Hi All,
We are currently running into a problem where our Sales Order Schedule Line delivery dates are being pushed out too far into the future - because of the Calendar being used to determine the transit time.
We have 'Delivery Scheduling' and 'Transportation Scheduling' activated for our Sales Document type
We have Routes that are configured with a 'Transit Time' and a 'Factory Calendar'
Order Scenario:
'Factory Calendar' assigned to our 'Route' is setup with only one 'Workday' in a given week e.g. Wednesday
Our 'Route' has a Transit Time of 2 days
We create a Sales Order on Monday for a Material that is available in our Plant
The 'Goods Issue' date is being determined correctly for the next Workday - being Wednesday
The 'Delivery Date' is extending out over 15 days (2 Wednesdays into the future) - since it is working on 'Calendar Days' and not 'Actual Days'
Does anyone know of a way (config or other) to only influence the 'Goods Issue' date with the 'Factory Calendar' assigned to the Route, and have the 'Delivery Date' calculated using the Transit Time on the Route and 'Actual Days' rather than Calendar days?
All help greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Ravelle

Hi Pathik,
Thanks for your reply. I have already maintained the Calendars I'm using for this business process in <SCAL> - same as <OY05>.
The problem I'm having though is that by assigning a Calendar directly to my route (which I doing to influence the goods issue date - using a 1 Working Day Calendar) it is also taking precedence in determining the Transit time - which in this case I don't want, as I want my Transit time to be determined using a 5 Working Day Calendar.
I don't think this problem has a config option as a work around...I think the only possibility in this case is a development to achieve the results we need.
Thanks,
Ravelle

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.
Rgds,
Ranjeet

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.

PO Delivery time

Hi gurus,
Something really strange is going on, when I create manually a PO system should calculate the delivery time based on GR time + planned delivery time + values at vendor level or purchasing organization. I have neither of this values but the vendor delivery time so I want that system adds to todays date this number of days and take it as the planned delivery time, the problem is that system behavies really strange, here is an example of how is populating the dates:
Planned delivery time 5 days working days in calendar is only from monday to friday, lets say I put the order on March 10 which is thursday I spect delivery date on thursday 17 but system is saying Tuesday 15
I changed the pln del time to several values to see if there is any patron and I noticed that if I put 2 days system gives monday 14 (cos sat and sun) but if I put 3 day, it also say monday 14th, and if I put 4 days it also gives me monday 14, only when I go for 5 days then system says tuesday 15th, and this is valid with all the numbers I put as delivery time, looks like system is trying to match the last digit of my planned delivery time with the last digits of the day like 14 with the 24th
I know this sounds silly but it's what I am facing, any ideas or does someone have seen something like this before.?
I have checked and this happens for all my materials

Saturday and sunday are holiday for you, but not for the transporter.
if goods have been despatched on friday, they will move on sat and sun as well and reach on time i.e after 5 days. i.e. 15th.
the basic concept being that goods(transporter) will travel/move on your holidays as well.
FYI
Delivery date calculation takes into consideration :
1) Purchasing processing time in the Plant parameters in the customization and is calculated based on the Factory calendar days.
2) Planned delivery time maintained in material master and is calculated based on Normal calendar days
3)GR Processing time Maintained in Material master record, calculated based on Factory calender.

How is delivery date calculated

How can anyone please explain how delivery date is calculated using forward and backward scheduling
I want to have it broken down into the following steps
for eg for delivery date calculation following dates are used
Material Availabilty Date
Material Staging Date
Pick/pack time
Transportation PLanning date
Loading date
Goods issue date
Transit Date
Delivery Date
Can some one please give me an example and explain wht these dates are
for eg customer needs delivery date on 11/20/2008
how would the system cacluate whether it can meet the delivery date using backward scheduling
and if it doesnt meet how does the system do the forward scheduling
also i am not clear with the following dates
material avaialibilty date
material staging date
transportation date
can some one please explain me all this in detail
Also i have another question at the sales order creation when is shipping point and route determined
coz based on the ATP check only material avaialabilty date is determined and if we have a bacjground job running every 1 hours for atp then immediately when we create a sales order is a route and shipping point determined (just before we save the sales order)
Let me be more clear
Suppose customer representative recevies a order on the phone
he enters sold to party, ship to party ,PO number,delivery date and material number and then hits enter
so at tht time the shipping point and route is determined ?
also when an atp check runs and if the delivery date is not met then the system will propose a new delivery date but if we have a different route configured say for eg overnight so we can meet the delivery date and we want to change this route to overnight what must we do?
should we change the shipping condition in the header?
I am not very sure about the process can you please also explain me this in detail?
Thanks

Hi there,
When a sales order is logged & the user enters the requested delivery date, system 1st does the backward scheduling date. Pla note that the factory calender mentioned in the shipping point & route plays a crutial role in defining the working days & confirmed delivery date.
For eg: Customer has raised an order on 11/15 & requests delivery on 11/20/2008.
the following times are important in delivery scheduling.
Transit time: maintained in route
Loading time maintained in the shipping point
Transportation planing time maintained in the transportation planning point.
pick pack time maintained in the shipping point.
Material availability time maintained in MM02 --> MRP screens. This is the time that the material can be manufactured (for inhouse producted items) or external processing time (for externallly procured materials like TAS items).
From the requested delivery date 11/20 system does the backward scheduling & determines the following dates:
Goods issue date, loading date, pick pack date, transportation planning date & material availability date.
Time between:
goods issue date - reqested delivery date: transit time
Goods issue date - loading date: loading time
transportation planning date - pick pack date: picking pack time
Material availability date - transportation date: transportation planning time.
Consider that the factory calender has all days of the week as working dates (to make it simple to explain). Also transit time is 3 days, loading time is 1 day,pick pack time is 1 day, material availability time is 3 days.
From 11/20 ussing backward scheduling system determines the following dates:
Goods issue date: 11/17
Loading date: 11/16
Pick pack date: 11/15
System will check if material is available on the 11/15 to start pick / pack. If it is available then system will confirm the reqested delivery date. Else it will check when the material is available. For eg basing on the MRP settings mnaterial is available only on 11/18. So from 18th system does forward scheduling & redetermines all the dates. So pick / pack date is 11/18. Loading date is 11/19, goods issue date is 11/20 & possible delivery date is 11/23. So system will confirm the delivery date on 11/23. This is when complete delivery is required. If partial delivery is allowed, then system will check how much quantity is available on 11/15. Accordingly it will give 2 delivery dates.
In the above example include teh factory calender which will have 5 day week with Fri & Sat as holidays. Accordingly dates will change.
Here replenishment lead time also plays an imp role. Pls refer http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_03/helpdata/EN/6b/2785347860ea35e10000009b38f83b/frameset.htm for further information

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.

Function module SD_SCHEDULING: delivery date calculation factory calendar

Hi,
When I create or change a sales order, system calculates the delivery time and date (ETDAT) using transit duration and factory calendar. Currently factory calendar says that transportation leaves every Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Unfortunately, function module SD_SCHEDULING calculates the delivery date using factory calendar dates, i.e. NOT using working dates.
Function module reads the factory calendar from table TVRO (Routes) and field SPFBK (Factory calendar key) in subroutine GET_CUSTOMIZING, and saves factory calendar id in CS_SCHEDDU-TRANSIT_FC. The calculation itself is done later in function module DATE_CONVERT_TO_FACTORYDATE.
For example, if transit duration is 3 working days, function module calculates the delivery date using Monday (first day), Wednesday (second day) and Friday (third day). Thus, the result is Friday, which is wrong. Result should be of course Wednesday (Monday first day, Tuesday second day and Wednesday third day).
I'd like to use working days instead of calendar days. I am planning to recalculate the delivery date in some user exit, but before I start coding, I'd like to hear your opinion: Is it possible to use working days instead of calendar days when calculating delivery date? (I believe it must be, since my case is very normal). If it is, I assume that this can be achieved with IMG, but how and where?
I am using SAP R/3 Enterprise.

Planned Delivery Time and Transportation duration- Tlane and Means of Transportation

Dear Experts ,
I have question regarding lead time calculation my SNP
I have
Start Location : A
Destination location: B
I maintained Planned delivery time in ECC- material master as 10 days and cifed to Tlane Product procurement as 10 days
and leave empty in the transportation duration empty so the total lead time is 10 days from start location A to destination location B
now
I maintain 24 hours in Means of transport as transportation duration by truck
now the lead time is 11 days from start location A to destination location B
Now
i leave empty planned delivery time empty and maintain Means of transport duration as 48 hours
so the lead time is 2 days from A to B
does my understanding is correct or not advise please
Regards
Raj

Hi Raj,
Take a look of these notes. Specially SAP note 379006. This note explains how the system sets the times in ECC and APO. Basically, It recommends a BAdI in order to match the delivery date in ECC and APO (transit time). What I recommend is to set delivery time equal to 0 if this is possible in your company.. This is not an SAP recommendation, because the delivery date is a key master data in the purchasing process and making it equal to 0 could not be allowed.. Now, if its possible in your case, it is the easiest way to ensure consistency...
These are the notes:
379006
- Transport duration and planned delivery time in APO and R/3
441622
- Supplying-plant-dependent planned del. time/trans. time
624982
- Incorrect dates for RBA controlled stock transfer
Kind Regards,
Mariano

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

Planned delivery time in material master

Is planned delivery time in material master considering holidays ? I mean when I say 7 days, is it one week and 2 days or only one week ?

Dear Balaji,
If you push F1 when your mouse is set on that field you will see that help says that PDT is defined as calendar days. However, you can carry out some changes:
http://www.sap-img.com/materials/planned-delivery-time-as-workdays.htm
About meaning of PDT:
http://www.sap-img.com/production/calculation-to-determine-the-delivery-date-and-release-date.htm
In addition to that link, you can use safety time as well (with this setting you can pull back in time the requested availabilty date during MRP run). You can also use PDT in info records if you have several source of supple for one material.
