How and where does Delivery Date get calculated in ME51N

Question

Hi,
Can anyone please let me know the point where the delivery date is calculated in ME51N ?
i enter the Material and Plant and press enter and Delivery Date ( = Current Date ) gets populated automatically. I need to find out where it happens.
Because there is a requirement that the Delivery Date should be equal to the Current Date + some Lead Time, instead of the current Date. So, I need to find a BADI or exit.
For the transaction ME51N, there is only one Customer Exit - MEREQ001. And if I put a break-point at the compnents of this exit, the control doesnt go to these exits when I press Enter.
And there is a BADI 'ME_REQ_POSTED', which gets triggered when we save ME51N, but it should be triggered even when we press enter.
Please help me with all the above details.

Hi Dagny,
This is related to PO stuff. Probably the logic may be useful for you.
You can try out enhancements:
LMEKO001
LMEKO002
And you try out below code.
FIELD-SYMBOLS: <beket> TYPE ANY TABLE.
DATA: l_date        TYPE d
     l_ebelp       TYPE ebelp,
     w_beket       TYPE beket,
     t_beket       TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF beket,
     w_data        TYPE ty_data.
* Get the item number in the correct format.
l_ebelp = komp-kposn+1(5).
* Get the tabe with Delivery Schedule data.
ASSIGN ('(SAPLMEPO)ETT[]') TO <beket>.
t_beket[] = <beket>[].
READ TABLE t_beket INTO w_beket WITH KEY ebelp = l_ebelp.
*l_data = w_beket-eindt.*
Here l_data has the delivey date field you can even modify this data and update what ever u want.
Thanks,
Raj
