Hard Error 'Preferred Delivery date can't be kept"

Managers are having to change the required on date, because the leadtime coming from a catalog, is being added to the date the shopping cart is created. If the manager does not approve the car the same day. The system forces a change to the required on date before allowing manager approval. Managers don't like it. Any solutions?

Hi Michael,
You can change the error message to warning and then system will allow the manager to approve the cart even if the preferred delivery date is in past.
change the message from E to W through the path.
srm server -> cross application setting -> message control -> influence message control.

Error in delivery date

Hi Gurus,
while creating sales order I am entering Delivery date in item details as 31.12.2011, but it is giving error message that "delivery date is outside our factory calender 01".But I checked in that plant factory calender it is having 1996 to 2011. So 31.12.2011 is also fall in to 2011 only.
if I entered 30.12.2011 it is not showing any error.if I changed 2011 to 2012 then delivery date 31.12.2011it is not showing any error.

Satheesh.

Can delivery date can be met? want to avoide thisWARNING in BAPI_PO_CRAETE1

Hi Experts,
When creating a purchase order via BAPI_PO_CREATE1, we're getting the Can delivery date be met? warning message whatever delivery date is entered.
I tried all the dates, But the message is received even if the delivery date is more than a week/month in the future. If I enter today I get the unrealistic date message instead with a proposed date of tomorrow in brackets but entering the 23rd still displays the message.
Can't find any SAP notes about the message being displayed erroneously!!
Which bit of master data am I missing that is causing this message to display so often?
1- Still, I wanna SAVE/create the PO, So, How to handle it?
2 - How to avoide to showup these messages from my BAPI return box?
3- any SAP NOTES?
4 - Any user exit?
5- Can I delete this message from RETURN in my Z prog., where am using BAPi to create PO and then using COMMIT.?
thanq

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.

Delivery date in past in scheduling agreement

Hi
In ME38 , when I try to change delivery schedule for a line item from 05/07/2008 to 02/08/2008 , system is giving below error .
*Delivery date is in past *
I am ignored this message and pressed enter and saved the scheduling agreement .
Just I need to know , does this error has any ramification in any way .?
Thanks in Advance

Hi,
In SAP the delivery date is not taken in Past,so it is showing you warning/error message.
It is not advisable to have delivery date in past.This is inturn cause problem when you going forward & want to evaluate vendor on delivery performance.
Thanks,

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.

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.

Fast change for statistical delivery date in me21n

hi
need fast change for statistical delivery date in me21n
in me21n when i enter on to fast change screen i doesn't find statistical delivery date
can anyone tell me the process
thanks

Dear Anudeep,
You cannot change this via "Fast Change".
Please see the usage of this field.
Calculation of the delivery time is an element in the determination of a vendor's adherence to delivery dates (that is, the vendor's delivery timeliness, or on-time delivery performance) in MM Vendor Evaluation.
If it becomes known that the vendor can only deliver ordered goods some days later than originally stipulated, for instance, you can change the delivery date accordingly for materials planning and control purposes. However, the statistics-relevant delivery
date remains unchanged.
As a result, the vendor's "on-time delivery performance" score worsens. At the same time, it is ensured that materials planning and control works on the basis of the right date.

Workflow for po delivery date

Hi
Good morning to all .
Well I am an abaper and new in workflow . i got a requirement to mail a user two day before po delivery date .
can any one guid me .
Regards
Rakesh kumar singh

I think if you are changing the Delivery date you can track this as the Change Event of BO BUS2012 gets triggered. You can track what type of change by coding in a virtual attribute of your Custom BO which is delegated to standard BO. In the attribute you should code that filter the changes are relevant(Delivery date change) for workflow or not. If the changes are relevant the Flag will be set. In the start condition(SWB_COND) of Wflow you should make use of this Flag for triggering.
Regarding sending mail at end of day this can be done using Requested start Tab of step in Workflow Builder.
Thanks

Updation of SO Confirmed Delivery date based on GR date for BANC parts

Dear All,
Would appreciate an answer on the following issue:
For Back to back/Indiv Purchase Order parts(BANC) the confirmed delivery date in the SO is updated based on the Order Acknowledgement date sent by the vendor for the corresponding PO generated for the SO. If the the vendor happens to deliver the parts in advance of the OA date(it happens quite often), the parts wait in stores till the confirmed delivery date is reached on the SO even thugh the original requested date on the Sales order is long past. If there is an order acknowledgement date in the system, at the time of GR, a warning message comes, but as our system is a high volume systme it is not possible to update the date in SO manually. Is there a way we can update the confirmed delivery date in the SO based on the Goods receipt date automaticall through config or a batch job?
Thanks

What is the difference between delivery date and actual goods issue date?

Hi ,
Can you please tell me the difference between Delivery date and Actual goods issue date ?
Delivery data can be be greater than goods issue date?
Thanks,
Ajay

Hi Ajay,
Delivery date means its the original date on which the delivery should be done.Actual goods Issue date is the date on which goods to be delivered according to the purchase order.There can be delay in the delivery so we maintain 2 objects.
Yes delivery date can be greater than Goods Issue date.
Hope this clears

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
