FedEx Delivery Times?

What time did your iPhone 3G[S]' come in last year? I'm just curios if Apple sent it for a morning delivery or a afternoon delivery.

They obviously can't deliver all the phones at the same time unless they hire 600,000 drivers for the 24th only. Of course, then they would have to rent 600,000 trucks and since everyone would receive they IPs at the same time, 15 minutes later they would have to fire 600,000 drivers and return 600,000 trucks.
Or they could just do there regular routes with deliveries all day. I'm betting they will choose option 2.
Wondering why we see these kinds of questions here?

  • MRP - Auto creation of del schedule lines based on planned delivery time

    Hi,
    We have activated MRP (type PD) where Purchase requiesition is auto created by system for requirement quantity. We require to optimize delivery schedule in such a way that entire PR quantity is broken into various delivery schedule based on planned delivery time and requirement.  Scenario can be further explained with following example.
    Material Requirement for a month is say 1,25,000 units
    Closing Stock say 25,000 units
    PR Generated by system for 1,00,000 units. The entire quantity is schdulled with only one delivery schedule line as per planned delivery time. 
    The requirement is to generate multiple delivery schedule lines automatically in Purchase requisition based on planned delivery time so that Purchase orders can be placed with system generated delivery schedule lines.
    How can it be achieved ?
    Regards,

    Nirav,
    This subject has been discussed repeatedly in this and other forums.  I must assume that you overlooked the rules of engagement, which state that you should first search the forums and other public sites, before posting questions here.
    Standard SAP MRP cannot be made to generate multiple items in a Purchase requisition.  The functionality you seek is usually achieved when converting purchase reqs to Purchase orders, where many single purchase reqs can be adopted into a single Purchase order.
    You also might want to investigate use of Vendor Scheduling agreements.

  • Delivery time in sale order

    Dear Sap Gurus,
    I had created a sale order with reference to a quotation.
    In the quotation-there are 2 line items with different delivery time.
    sale order date is 15/2/2008
    for eg line item 1  is 3 days
    line item 2 is 1 week
    the maximum delivery time is for line item 1 is 3 days
    so 15+3=18/2/2008.
    the system allows me to do the delivery,and pgi  even on 29/2/08.
    so the delivery time is not effective here.
    kindly suggest me what is the exact usage of this delivery time in a sales document.
    Points will be rewarded

    The Delivery date in the sales order is the Earliest date proposed by the system after automatic availability checks and delivery scheduling.
    The system uses the delivery date for each schedule line together with predefined time estimates for delivery activities (such as picking and packing) to determine the
    Material availability date
    Loading date
    Goods issue date
    Transportation planning date
    In ur case, ur order contains two item with different delivery dates of 15th and 28th.
    Suppose if u deliver the order on 15th , the delivery split takes and only one item will copied into the delivey.
    But if u deliver the order at 28th, both the items will be copied to the delivery, since both have already confirmed on the date
    Hope u understand...

  • Planned delivery time in Scheduling agreement and MRP

    Hello,
    Do you know is it possible to determine system so that MRP run will consider the planned delivery time from the scheduling agreement line instead of material master? Now the system read planned delivery time from material master when creating schedule lines automatically by MRP-run.
    Regards, jaana

    This can be customized in
    SAP Customizing Implementation Guide
    -> Production
    --> Material Requirements Planning
    ---> Planning
    > Procurement Proposals
    > Define External Procurement
    Here you can select the indicator "Scheduling according to purchasing info record or agreement" either at plant or MRP group level.

  • 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.

  • System is not considering Planned Delivery time

    Dear Gurus,
    As iam planning for the month of January and running the MRP,schedulelines are getting generated but system is not condering Planned Delivery time maintained in the material master ie. 7days.Following is the example:
    I have a FERT-X with a component A-1PC in its BOM and its planned delvery time from vendor is 7 Days.If iam running the MRP on 13/12/2010 for FERT-X  100 PCS for January1,2011 then the schedule lines are getting generated for for component A is on 01/01/2011.But PDT is maintianed in material master is 7 days and same has been maintianed in vendor inforecord.But system is not considering it.
    Kindly help to resolve the issue.
    With Regards.

    I have one ROH which has two different vendors.
    Two scheduling Agreemnt with target qty 100000 kg each.
    Two different Vendor info record with Min. order qty maintained.V1-1000Kg,V2-6000Kg.
    One source list with two vendors and with respective scheduling agreement.
    Quota arrangement is there in which SOB is maintiained 50:50.
    I hv the requirement of 3084 kg of ROH.
    I run the MRP and two diiferent schedule lines are getting generated with 50:50 qty as mentioned in Quota arrangement.
    Not considering the minimum order qty maintiained in vendor info record.
    The above process is correct
    Only One doubt In Quota Arrangement?
    IS two schedule line is created after MRP run?
    Generally System will  select a vendor Whose Quota value is less
    quota rating   = quota base quantity + quota-allocated quantity/ quota

  • 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)

  • How planned delivery time effects delivery creation?

    Dear All,
    Some time before, while placing order thro' CRM, we came across a typical error (hard error).
    "date (11/12/2011) lies afterthe end of validity calendar". 
    we could not place order in CRM but in SAP we could create save the order despite of same error but soft. However system didn't allow to create delivery for same order & same error message populated"
    Later it was found that it is because for material  " Planned Deliv. Time  maintained for say "X "days in material master MRP2 view" & was corrected.
    How planned delivery time effects delivery creation?
    For material even though planned delivery time was maintained as say for 500 days, sales order requested delivery date & delivery date in order schedule line got determined as order date (Considering avaliability of funds & material).
    i.e order date/req. delivery date/delivery date in schedule line are same as date on which order is placed.

  • 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

    Hi,
    I have created a sale order on 1/7/2009 with a material which has planned delivery time of 4 days.
    Now when I go to the schedule lines screen I see that the delivery date corresponding to the confirmed quantity is 1/8/2009.
    Why is not SAP taking the 4 days into considerations while determining the delivery date?
    Please see below the screen shots:

    Hi,
    You seems confused with planned delivery time in MRP 2 view of material master to Sales order delivery date.
    Material master Planned delivery time is for the material which is procured externally  through PR -- PO process.
    In Sales order the delivery date is with respect the ATP--Avalible to Promise.
    If the stock is avalible in the storage location on the date of Sales order creation, then system will consider the delivery date an the basis of confirmed qty in the sales order. You can check in CO09 for confirmed qty.

  • 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.

  • Planned Delivery Time of Schedule Line

    I have done the setting in SPRO >MM>PURCHASING>PP>PROCESSING TIME from 1 day to 0 day bt still  it is picking up one day for schedule lines.There is 0 days planned delivery time in VendorMaster,Material Master,Vendor info record.
    I hv run the MRP  on 06/01/2011 and system is generating schedule lines for 07/01/2011.I want it for 06/01/2011 only.
    With Regards.

    I hv run the MRP on 06/01/2011 and system is generating schedule lines for 07/01/2011.I want it for 06/01/2011 only.
    During MRP, System will do the backward scheduling... from FG reqmt to Raw material,

  • 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

  • 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
    PO Created at 10th march
    Pl Del TimDays - PO Del Date

    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.
