Lead time before shipping..

Hi Folks,
This requirement concerns planned orders creation in ASCP plans.
Is there a way we can add lead time to an Item after it is received in warehouse but before it is shipped from warehouse?
There are Pre-processing, Processing & post processing LT but they all apply before the item is received in warehouse.
But once it is received, can we add a lead time for the items for packing and labelling before it is shipped ?
Any suggestions are welcome..
Thanks !
Venkata

Venkata,
There were some good descriptions of how to handle this issue in a previous post.
See this post on the same forum:

Sales order with Compl.deliv., Lead time and Shipping date problems

Hello, SAP gurus!
We have some concerns with sales orders that won't start processing, and I'm wondering if there's anyone here who have had experience with this problem.
If not, hopefully you understand this scenario.
Scenario:
* A salesorder with three lines, of which two lines are not in stock (itemcategory YBAB), one line in stock (itemcat TAN)
* Requested delivery date is asap, ie 19/03-2014
* Marked with Complete delivery
* In the Shipping tab, it seems all dates are copied from lead time of the YBAB-lines, 11/06-2014.
* We just received the two YBAB-lines on PO, but the date still shows 11/06-2014, almost a month from now.
Is it possible to make SAP automatically change the shipping date to the date we actually receive the items and are ready to process the order?
What we have now is a salesorder made 2 months ago, ready to be packed and shipped today, but SAP seems to hold on to the "expected" date a month from now. It's frustrating!
Hope to hear from you

Hello,
You will need to trigger a av. check again to factor the impact of receipt of YBAB items.
You could evaluate backorder processing to automate this as a daily run to work on the sales order relevant for re-ATP based on new availability situation.
Thanks,
Sudhir

Lead Time - Customizatiou0131n steps: Shipping point, route, and loading group

It says about delivery scheduling that "The lead time considers the shipping point, route, and loading group". Can anybody explain me briefly the customization menu steps about this sentence?
Thanks in advance.

Please go through this document it will help you
1) Maintain transportation planning point through Menu as follows:
IMG Maintain Logistic Execution  Definition Enterprise Structure  transportation planning point.
Create your own like BP01 enter the general data¡¯s required
2) Defining modes of transport:
IMG RoutesBasic Transportation Functions  Transportation Logistic Execution Define modes of transportDefine routes
Use the standard like:
Shipping type: 01
Description: Road
3) Define shipping types :
Basic Transportation Transportation Logistic ExecutionIMG Define shipping types Route Functions
Or through T-code: SM30
PT: 01
Description: Truck
Mdtr: 01
STPG: 0001
4) Define transportation connecting point :
LogisticIMG DefineRoutes  Basic Transportation Functions  Transportation Execution Define transportation connection pointsroutes
Copy the std point and make it FB01 as departure zone and FB02 as destination zone
5) Define routes and stages.
 Logistic Execution IMG Define Define routes Routes  Basic Transportation Functions Transportation routes and stages
Use the standard route and copy it as FB0001 and enter the departure zone and destination as what we created.
6) Defining Transportation Zone:
Basic Transportation Logistic Execution IMG Define transportation Router determination  Route Transportation Functions zones
Use the standard transportation zone depending on the route so as for the example use 0000000003 - Southern Region
7) Maintain country or transportation zone for shipping points
 Logistic Execution IMG  Route determination  Route  Basic Transportation Functions Transportation Maintain country and transportation zone for shipping point
Shipping point be ASH1 and route as 0000000003 which is assigned to country India
8) Maintain route determination:
Logistic ExecutionIMG Route determination Route  Basic Transportation Functions  Transportation  Maintain route determination
Country of departure: India
Departure Zone: 0000000003
Country of destination: India
Destination Zone: 0000000003
And enter the datas needed like shipping condition 01, etc.
Maintain Transportation relevance for shipping point, sales document type and delivery types.
9) Now create shipping types
IMG Define shipment Shipments  Transportation Logistic Execution types
Copy the standard 0001 and make it to AFIL
10) Define and assign traffic zones through T-Code: T_76 (or) thru menu as follows
IMG Define Basic functions  Shipments cost  Transportation Logistic Execution and assign tariff zones
Copy the standard and make it to FABTARIFF and assign our transportation planning point as ATP1, ATP2 assign tariff zone to every particular transportation planning point
11) Define and assign pricing procedures
Shipments Transportation  Logistic Execution IMG define and assign pricing Price control  Pricing cost procedures
Copy the standard shipping cost pricing procedure SDFC00 to FBSC01
12) Assign purchasing data:
 Logistic Execution IMG Assign purchasing data Settlement  Shipments cost Transportation
13) Assign transportation planning point to shipping condition, purchase organization, purchasing group and to plants.
14) Define Automatic G/L account determination:
 Transportation  Logistics Execution IMG Automatic G/L Account Determination Settlement Shipment Costs
Or through T-code: OMWB
Use G/L account 614000 as used in standard
15) Automatic determination of CO assignments:
IMG Automatic Settlement  Shipment Costs  Transportation Logistics Execution Determination of CO Assignments
Or T-code: OKB9
16) Maintain shipping point address.
 Logistics Execution  Definition Enterprise Structure Define, copy, delete, check shipping point
17) Creating G/L account centrally.
Financial AccountingAccounting  Master Records  General Ledger 
Individual Processing Centrally
Or through T-Code: FS00
18) Enter the G/L account 614000 to the company code AFIL
19) Create transportation condition records:
 Shipment cost  Transportation  Master data Logistic Execution createPrices
Or thru T-code: TK11
Enter condition type FB00 that is freight condition type, which is used as standard in the shipping cost pricing procedure.
Enter the price and save it
Process:
1. The system determines the pricing procedure for the shipment cost item-using transportation planning point, service agent and shipment cost item category
2. Calculation Basis
3. Condition Record
4. Access sequence.
For the sales order, create a delivery using VL01N and pick the goods. Now create a shipment using VT01N and assign the delivery to the shipment document. Make sure to enter the carrier and other details before performing the transportation planning and execution. Save the shipment document and PGI for the delivery would be done automatically.
A shipment represents a physical goods movement between two or more locations.
For the system to create a shipment, shipping-relevant deliveries must exist.
You use Transportation Planning to group pending deliveries into shipments and then to perform the shipments.
The outbound delivery documents contain routes that the system calculates in route determination, and a transportation planning date for the delivery.
Dynamic transportation planning is responsible for grouping together outbound deliveries into shipments that have at least the same route, visit plan type and the same transportation planning date.
The following restrictions can be taken into account for a shipment in Dynamic Transportation Planning:
Weight
Volume
Variable capacity
Number of stops
Maximum duration
Loading units
Create Shipment Document
Use
After the status of the delivery is open for transportation planning, it is possible to create a shipment document to schedule the transportation.

Shipping docs (VT01) are created before PGI...
You cannot carry out transportation planning or creation of shipment after the goods issue has been executed. Once goods issue is done it means that the material has left your premises so there is no need for a transportation planning after it.
In case you need carry out the shipment documents at the end of the day you could just create the delivery documents during the day and at end of the day create the shipment documents and the goods issue

Is there any method to stop rescheduling of the PO Need By date from ATP if there is any holiday specified in shipping calender. The requirement is to update the schedule ship date on Sales Order but the lead time of Purchase Order should not increase

We are currently not able to manage schedule ship date proposed by ATP when our warehouse is closed. For example , we would like that ATP doesn't propose any schedule ship date for the first of May , which is a non working day in France. The constraint is that we don't want our purchase need by date to be impacted by the process.
I tried to closed one day in FR1 calendar and, after testing with order management, it appears that ATP didn't propose the closed day, so that's fine, but, our purchase order lead time was increased of 1 day and this is not what we expected.
Can you help us to find the right process.
Thanks

Hi Sandeep,
when we try to Rescheduled out the PO and the request is errored out the with the error:-

Sales order is not taking shipping transit lead time into consideration

Hi,
We have following scenario -
1. Sales order is created in AT organization.
2. There is no onhand in any of the organizations including AT.
3. The scheduled ship date for sales order comes as order creation date + item lead time = 15-Sep-2011.
3. PO for sufficient quantity is available at UK org with need-by date as 01-Jun-2011.
5. Post processing item lead time for this item is 1 day.
4. intransit shipment is setup between UK and AT.
5. Shipment Transit lead times are also set up at 3 days between locations of UK and AT.
6. ASCP plan is run.
7. Sales Order is unscheduled and rescheduled via API MSC_ATP_PUB, which takes the ATP details from UK (based on the sourcing rules). The sheduled ship date comes as 02-Jun-2011 (PO need-by date + 1 day of post processing).
8. Expectation is that API should also take transit lead time into consideration while calculating the ATP dates and hence the Expectation is that scheduled ship date should come as 05-Jun-2011 (PO need-by date + Transit lead time + 1 day of post processing).
Please let me know
a. if this is standard functionality of oracle or not.
b. if this is standard functionality then what setups are missing required for the same to be achieved.
UAT is held up for this issue. Please help urgently.
Regards.

Oracle is supposed to take the in-transit time into consideration.
Are you running a constrained plan or an unconstrained one?
Make sure you defined the inter-org network as described in http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/A60725_05/html/comnls/us/inv/shipne01.htm.
or go to Inventory > Setup > Organization > Inter-Location Transit Times and enter it there.

Shipping point - Lead time

Based on shipping point and route can we set the lead time for pick/pack time and load time.
In our case we have shipping point 1000. For this shipping point - 1000 based on the ship to party destination zone 5 routes can be determine.
Letu2019s say R1, R2, R3, R4 and R5
I need to maintain 2 days additional lead time for pick/pack time and load time only fot the route R1. If I maintained the lead time for pick/pack and load time as 2 days under shipping point 1000 this lead time will be applicable to all the 5 routes.
In my case this lead time 2 days will be taken into account for only when the route R1 determined for the shipping point 1000.
PS: This R1 is determined based on the shipping conditions maintained for the customers in customer master.
Please suggest how to achieve this functionality.
Thanks

Thanks for the response.
The reason why I canu2019t maintain the extra lead time for R1 is for this route customer is arranging the carrier on his own. Since company is not arranging the carrier we cannot maintain the transit time at route level.
The idea behind the whole process is for some customers carrier is taking care by themselves. Customer raises sales order through EDI there only requested delivery date is being maintained by the customer. Based on the req. delivery date material available date and load time will be determined (for this process we had not maintained any lead time for mat. Availability and load time) so system is taking the delivery date as the mat availability date and load time. The confusion lies here. If the req delivery date given by the customer is 05/20/2009 mat avil date and load time is also the same 05/20/2009. But the customer wants the goods in his warehouse on 05/20/2009 so our customer service reps are manually back date the req delivery date in the order to 05/17/2009 ( the difference 3 days consider the customer to arrange the carrier and the goods to be available on his choice). As we back date in the order from 05/20/2009 to 05/17/2009 so the material ava date and loading time would also be 05/17/2009. By doing this planning can be done and makesure material will reach customer on 05/20/2009/
Pls let me know if you have any questions
Thanks.

PO Lead Time cannot capture the time taken for shipping!

Dear All
I understand that we have PO lead time = PO Processing Time (Working Day) + Planned Delivery Time (Calendar Day) + GR processing time (working day).
And this PO lead time will be added on top of my PO Creation Date to defer the actual goods availability date.
My question:
1. Planned delivery time is the time taken from vendor place to send out the goods to my warehouse. What if it is overseas purchase where goods leaving vendor's Port will first arrive in my country custom, and it will take 3 days to do clearance. once it is cleared, forwarding agent will delivery goods from my country custom to my warehouse. In this case, how do I capture it in SAP system for the planned delivery time as it has 4 periods of time now
a. Time taken from vendor's port to reach my country's port
b. Time taken for my country custom to do clearing
c. Time taken for forwarding agent to fetch goods from custom to my warehouse
d. Time taken for unpack, take out , count, inspect and put for use (GR processing time)
Do I need to use user Exit?
Thanks
Edited by: Daimos on Apr 27, 2009 6:52 PM

Dear dogboy.
I think we must use feature on the PO Confirmation Control (CC) Key at PO Item Level:
ED - Estimated Time of Departure from Overseas Port.
EA - Actual Time of Departure from Overseas Port.
EA - Estimated Time of Arrival
AA - Actual Time of Arrival
And the purchaser will maintain the value of each of the CC Key each time they are notified by the vendor.
And we need to come out with a Customised Report to capture those CC dates entered so that finance is able to prepare $ in advance if the moment the EA is maintained, meaning the estimated date of arrival at the Custom there.
But the problem is that PO User Exit is only at the header of Confirmation Control Key but not capture the DATE field we entered for each CC.
That was the problem I last encountered.

Addional lead time for Sales BOM kitting process

When a Sales Order BOM Sales Order is scheduled, we would like to have a lead time added for the Shipping kitting step. So the pick date will be X number of days before the ship date.
Is there a way to do this is ?
Thanks,

Hi DK,
Go to Ent structure > Definition > LE > Define shipping point, choose your shipping point, click on detailsand check there, "Rounding work days" filed may provide you some soln.

Purchase-How could I consider Transit time and lead time in imported mat.

My doubt refers about master data configuration of imported material.
My sittuation is :
Material - Lead Time: (depend on source)
Transit Time: (depend on source)
My company is responsable to transport all bought material. Besides, I can buy of differents suppliers.
Considering these rules, It s impossible to fix dates in material master, because material purchase is related with center and not with supplier. By the way, I need to discover other master data to configure it maybe : Inforecord, quotization... Whatever...
I need to correct this to generate Purchase order with dispatched date of my source against required date of my company after execute MRP.
I tried to study this scenario but until now I ve not got a solution.
Probably, you have had it before and can help me.
I hope your help!
Thank you!
Regards!

Create POs with respect to either PIRs (if you don't need to print out) or Contract/item, both of these are Vendor/material specific so you can set lead times accordingly . Probably best to use Source List and set requirement in material master too (Purchasing view).

Sales Order - How to make Delivery Date default to Lead Time?

My scenario is this:
- We have items that go thru several production stages before it is a finished item that can be sold.
- Each production item has its lead time loaded.
- I would like the delivery date of a finished item to equal the sum of the productions items lead times.
I dont want my sales people to have to look at calendars are calculate how long until something is ready for delivery.
I would like my sales orders delivery date to default to a date that sales people can use.
Is this possible? I would think this would be part of core functionality but I do not see this.
Thank you,
John Sefton

John,
Knowing what Items are added to the Sales Order at the time of entry would not be possible without SDK since the line level details are stored internally in temp location.
Only on Submitting the Sales Order would it be possible to calculate the date.
Let me know how you would want to move on this

Lead time

Dear friends,
Is there any report in SAP LE which can give the total lead time for delivery of materials from the plants to the destinations(customer)
Your valuable reply is highly appreciated.
Regards,
Sampath

Sampath,
I am not aware of such a report.
The duration of time scheduled in a Sales order between the shipping point and the destination is carried in the Sales routes (configuration transaction OVTC). The routes that your company uses can be determined in a number of ways. Information (including duration) can be seen in Table TVRO. Information concerning determination (which route is associated with a source-destination pair) are usually contained in table TROLZ. This configuration is in IMG>SD>Basic Functions>Routes>Route Determination>Maintain Route Determination.
If you actually interested in the 'lead time', which also includes manufacturing/procurement time, Pick/Pack Processing time, etc, this is a bigger task. More data needs to collected.
In either case, I believe you will have to commission your ABAPers to create a Z report.

Loading Date\Time per Shipping Point

Hello all
we need to fill SO with certain values: on item level "Loading Date" field (there should be value of next day after SO creation) and "Loading Time" ("_00:00_" value). These two fileds should be filled only for certain shipping points.
Is it possible?

Hi,
It is not that easy.
The time mentioned in the Delivery or Transportation scheduling mentions the lead time and not the date . The dates are decided by delivery scheduling namely backward or forward scheduling. In your case, if you want to control this in masterdata, you have to maintain the procurement type of material as either inhouse production or outward procurement. In either case, you have maintain the production or procurement lead time as just one day. In this case, the next day becomes the material availability date (MAD). The same date will also be updated as Loading date. Based on the loading leadtime maintained in the shipping point, the further dates will be decided.
So the production or procurement lead time will decide when ur MAD will be and based on that ur loading date will be updated. Maintain ur masters accordingly in material and ur reqmt will be fulfilled.
Hope this helps

LTP run ignoring GR processing time and Lead time

Hi,
I am trying to find out way to create a planning scenario (MS31) and run LTP (MS01) which will ignore the GR processing times and Lead times from Material master.
I would like to use MCEC report (after running MS70 valuation) which will show the values only in my new fiscal year - for budgeting purposes. Currently because of the long GR processing times and Lead times in material master (sometimes even 60 days) - some planned values show in MCEC report 2 or 3 months before the new fiscal year and the last two periods of new fiscla year are empty.
I would be grateful if you could help me with getting rid of these additional Times and adjusting the periods only for Report purpose. The desired final output should be that S012 table for this specific planning scenario has the values only in periods of the Fiscal year - without hitting previous Fiscal year last periods (due to lead /GR processing times).
Thank you,
Karol

Dear,
Master data is taken from normal MRP views. there is no other setting is available. you can create a different matrerial number for LTP planning.

How to influence lead time from vendors

Hi All,
I am trying to figure out how I can consider the impact of the Chinese New Year on the lead times of finished goods manufactured in China and sent to plants in the USA. I set up a special data range to account for this in the Calendar which was then assigned to the Time Stream ID.
My initial thought was to assign the Time Stream ID to the Shipping Calendar at the Vendor location (location master) but this does not seem to have made an impact on the lead time. I also tried using the Production Calendar, but this was also without success.
Does any have any recommendations that would assist me here.
Kind Regards,
Paul

Hi Paul,
If you are using APO PPDS means production planning heuristics from PPDS Scheduling will be done based on Planned delivery time in external procurement relationship. Planned deliver time will be considered based on production calender mentioned at vendor location.
You may be facing problem because transfer to R/3/ ECC will consider planned delivery time in calender days. Check your setting in CIF that you are not retransfering planning results from ECC back to APO.

Sesonality - Lead-Time - Forecasting

I have a unique scenario regarding seasonality and limiting the sales window for the sale and shipment of certain products. Lets say for example my lead time is 40 days which is eight weeks from today so in theory I can have as much material as I wish so as long as my MAD date is 40 days from today. That being said the first date of this products particular shipping season is 03/02/2009 - 05/04/2009 which is where my forecast lies and where all sales should be. I am trying to develop a solution that handles this scenario is there any data field in SAP that allows you to define sales windows/periods? We wont start forecasting these products until around January but we will potentially get sales orders today for future shipment. Currently our lead time is an inflated value. Any thoughts on this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Jeremy

Hello Jeremy
Please go thru the "Forecast model" portion in this link and see if this gives you some clue to move further.
