Purchasing: Planned delivery time

I have a material that are being purchased from 2 vendors. one vendor delivers the material in 2 days. the other takes 20 days. In the material master, I have to maintain the planned delivery time. As per the help info, I will need to maintain the average time here. So, that would be 11 days.
So, when I run MRP, 11 days will be taken as the planned delivery time. My planning is not going to be accurate if I choose any of the vendors.
Can anyone guide me how I can take care of this scenario?

Raj,
You maintain your planned delivery times for each vendor in your info records.
You need to ensure you have flagged the <i>scheduling info record/agreem.</i> flag (Determine Planned Delivery Time) in transaction OPPQ.
You also need to ensure that you have maintained source list entries for your vendors that are relevant for MRP.
Now the MRP run will consider the planned delivery time in the info record and not the material master.
Hope this helps.

Planned delivery time in purchase agreement (contract)

Hello,
When I create a material contract for a material master without an existing info record, the system leaves the field "planned delivery time" blank. When there is already an inforecord for the material, the system copies the planned delivery time from the inforecord in the contract.
Can anybody explain why? And how to prevent this?
Thanks,
Isabel

Hi,
If you enter planned delivery time in Info record, it automatically copied to contract. Make the planned delivery time in info record as blank. Or you can remove the planned delivery time in Contract when creating it
~Thanks!

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 ?

Nirav Kinkhabwala

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.

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.

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

Dear Gurus,
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,
Compare the order start date of header material in plan order or in prdn order with the reqmt date for the schedule line material - Is any difference in days?

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.

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,

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 from Material Master instead of PIRs

Hi SAP Gurus,
Do you know if there is a way to have MRP look at the Planned Delivery Time from the Material Master (MRP 2 tab) instead of the PIR?
We would like to create global PIRs with a PDT of 1 and have the Material Master PDT set to a different number (example 5). So when MRP runs it will read 5 instead of 1.
Any additional information is appreciated.
Thank you
-nic

Hi Nicholas,
In Standard SAP will consider Planned delivery time maintained in Inforecord and than time maintained in Material master. Inforecord has higher priority than material master. When a requisition is manually created, the Planned Delivery date will always be taken from the material master.
For MRP you can make setting OMDT for your plant or MRP group to determine planned delivery time.
Deactive the flag 'Scheduling according to purchasing info record or agreement' in Customizing (Plant or MRP group). and test the same.

How can consider Planned delivery time for subcontracting dependent of qty

Dear guru ,
How can mrp schedule delivery date of a subcontracting purchase requisition in order to consider planned delivery time and quantity to purchase.
Thanks

dear guru ,
I want to create a self-defined info structure similar to S013.
I want to add field purchasing group from EKKO-EKGRP. The other fields are similar to S013 with the same rules.
What do you suggest i can do consider note 397864 :
You are not permitted :a) to use info structure S013 as a template for self-defined info structures (This is prevented as of Release 4.5 due to a termination message).b) to create any update rules for S013 with a self-defined update group.c) to include the enhanced update rules that are used for S013 during the definition of key figure updating into the definition of the update of a self-defined info structure (compute...).
Thanks

Simoultaneous planned delivery time (MRP)

Dear Experts,
I would like to set my MRP for material purchases in order that I can have 2 different lead times, depending on the route (air/sea)
For instance, if MRP can supply enough material with 1kg or less, then it should take a shorter lead time for it would be air freight than if the minimum necessary was more than 1 kg. (Actual freight lead times= air 60 days, sea 90 days)
Best regards
Marco Aramini

Hello Marco
It is possible to have different lead times for different vendors on MRP.
On the customizing transaction OPPQ, choose the option "external procurement" and make sure that the flag "scheduling: info rec agreement" is set.
With this setting, the planned delivery time is read from the info record or from the scheduling agreement.
After that, you should create a quota arrangement for both vendors (see note 1508647 for details).
On the quota arrangement, you can use the minimum and maximum size to define that the source will only be selected if the lot size is higher than 1KG or smaller than 1 kg.
If have a more complex logic to select the vendor, you can use BAdI MD_MODIFY_SOURCE.

Req date for an activity based on planned delivery time of component

Hi Experts
I wish to create activities for purchase and install an equipment.
The procurement activity is assigned with the component.
the planned delivery time is specifed (ex: 100 days)
Based on this value, can i get calculated the requirement date for the activity (Ex: today+100days) in stead of manual specification of date for the corresponding activity?
warm regards
ramSiva

Hi Ahmed
Thanks for your response. This seems to be good feature.
However, i could not get the date corrected for my activity after applying this function.
I have created an activity with normal duration 1day. For the same activity, i have assigned a compnent which has 100days planned del time.
Then i have used 'Transfer Del time --> duration'. But no change.
Could you suggest me right approach?
warm regards
