SALES ORDER SCHEDULING IN APO

Hello everybody there,
I am doing availability check in APO (SCM 5.0)
Sales Order creation date : 20.01.08
Requested Delivery date :28.01.08
Transportation Lead (LEAD condition type in scheduling- APO ) time maintained : 3 days
MBDAT : 25.01.08
On 26.01.08, if customer change the RDD to 27.01.08, system pushed the delivery date by 3 days i.e 29.01.08 ( 26.01.08+ 3 days)
Although there is sufficient receipt available for the material , system is not giving Delivery date 27.01.08 , it gives 29.01.08.
As the order was booked on 20.01.08 , client has already planned for transportation ( i.e arranging truck and forward agent etc.) but system is again chaNging the delivery date based on the transportation planning date ( LEAD) assuming that user will take 3 days for transportation planning.
Assumption : No chk Horizon maintained
No Transit time
In the above scenario , is it possible to get the Delivery date 27.01.08 or the original one 28.01.08 with any setting in R/3 or APO ? In my case after changing the date , system triggers the ATP automatically ( expected also) and schedule the sales order from the begining i.e changing MBDAT / GI date /Delivery date all.
Is it possible to retain the original delivery date or the pre-poned delivery date?
Thanks in advance.

Hi
Look for the type of scheduling the system is using.
The system first tries back scheduling and if in back scheduling it calculates one of the entry point dates( like transportation planning date or MADAT) the system automatically puts this date to current date and shift the scheduling direction to forward scheduling automatically.
This can lead to moving the other dates in to future.
Check if its calculating any such dates to lie in the past.
I guess your transport planning date/MADAT falls in the past. So its moving that particular date to current date and starts forward scheduling again. Thats the reason why your delivery date is moving to future date further by 2 days.

Sales orders ONLY in APO and not in R/3

Dear Friends,
I have this peculiar but very critical problem wherein:
APO creates an extra schedule line to an ALREADY EXISTING sales order only in APO with a quantity in decimals like 130.320 PCs or whatever. Also, important to note is that this line has a required date very much in the future starting from 12-2009. Also, this sales order schedule line is non existent in R/3!
- I have checked the R/3 SD tables but nothing which relates to this qty.
- I have checked the sales order changes, but nothing in the history which suggests that someone might have changed it.
- I checked the UOM both in R/3 & APO but nothing.
Now, the problem is that:
How & what created this sales order?
If it is in APO, then y it isnt being sent to R/3 like all the other normal sales orders?
Most critical: APO sees this reqt & automatically creates a planned order (bckgrnd) which is then sent to R/3 as a recpt!!
Thanks in advance !

Team Eusap,
You say you ran LC consistency (which would be /SAPAPO/OM17). Did you also run CCR as I mentioned earlier?
Although there are no Queue errors, it is possible that someone has deleted the item from the queue. So, continue.
You can try to delete the order in APO using program /SAPAPO/SDORDER_DEL. Select Delete on database tab, deselect test, select the appropriate product/location(S). Select 'without check'. Select both boxes in Additional functions. Since you are not using GATP, you are not using allocations, but it is OK to select these items too. Execute. Stay away from the 'Delete all DB Sales order Data" tab!, or you may have to re-cif all your orders across. Now redo your LC consistency.
As far as your models are concerned, you need to assure yourself that there are no ATP (transactional, not material independent) models open. Use CFM5 to search.
As for the material independent CIF, it is a good idea to inactivate this model after the initial transfer. If you ever do any ATP config within APO, this model can overwrite some of the settings you created in APO. Usually this is undesirable.
Let me know if any of the above steps allow you to delete the APO order you don't want.

Sales order schedule date is a (working) day before Scheduled ship date

In MRP/MPS planning, the forecast consumption is occuring for all sales orders at a date (sales order schedule date) which is always a working day before the Scheduled Ship Date (SSD). What is the logic?
Time fences are not used.
E.g. Sales order is scheduled to ship (SSD) on 30th Nov, in forecast set > Forecast items > Consumptiion > Detail, the sales order schedule date is a day before SSD.

Hi,
This is a complex issue; best solution is by using APO/GATP.
If not, then in ERP only, the second best is:
1) Work with assembly processing in SO, meaning that a production/planned order is automatically created in the customer order during order creation.
2) Then, after the order is created it is scheduled, and the delivery date proposal is based on that.
3) Now you can check in the order that there are no capacity overloads, and all capacity required to produce on the proposed date is available. If yes, you're done. If not, it gets a bit complex, since you actualy need to switch to capacity planning, do capacity leveling and dispatch (PP), and the you get a new feasible schedule proposal based on that.
APO/GATP could do all that automatically!

Interesting and an imporatant issue at sales order schedule line.

hi all,
interesting and an imporatant issue at sales order schedule line.
i created a sales order with 10 qty.and the system proposed a two schedule lines.
let's say to order created date is 27.11.2008.and the requested delivery date is 27.11.2008.
but the stock is not available today then the system proposed two more schedule lines apart from the 27.11.2008.so now there are three schedule lines like below.
schedule line date                      Material availabilyt date   delivery date
27.10.2008 with zero quantity.
28.10.2008 with 5 qty.                28.10.2008                     29.10.2008
02.10.2008 with 5 qty.                02.10.2008                     03.10.2008
now the delivery and pgi already for the schedule line 28.10.2008.
then when i run the availability check on 01.11.2008 system is over writing the material vailability date as today at the scheduleline number two.
now i can able to view only two schedule lines only.
schedule line date                      Material availabilyt date   delivery date
28.10.2008 with 5 qty.                01.11.2008                     29.10.2008
02.10.2008 with 5 qty.                01.11.2008                     02.11.2008
now my concern when we reschedule the avalability check it should notchange the Material availability date of the schedule line which i already delivered.

Sales order item data & sales order schedule data

Hello,
I have a Sales Orders cube which is pulling data from two DSOs (one for sales order item data and the other for sales order schedule data). The common fields between these two DSOs is the Sales Order number but in my cube I have dual entries for each Sales Order document (item and schedule info).
Example of how the data looks now:
Sales Order . . Item Cat. . . Article . . . Net Price . . . Delivery . . . Act GI Date
1. . . . . . . . . ...TAN. . . . . ABC123. . . .10
1 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .1 . . . . . . . . 01/01/2000
2. . . . . . . . . ...TAN. . . . . CBA321. . . .15
2. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .2 . . . . . . . . 01/02/2000
How do I merge the data on the Sales Order number in the cube so it looks like below?
Sales Order . . Item Cat. . . Article . . . Net Price . . . Delivery . . . Act GI Date
1. . . . . . . . . ...TAN. . . . . ABC123. . . .10 . . . . . . . . . .1 . . . . . . . . 01/01/2000
2. . . . . . . . . ...TAN. . . . . CBA321. . . .15 . . . . . . . . . .2 . . . . . . . . 01/02/2000
Many thanks,
Matt

Two previous remarks:
1) If you need to report on very detailed data consider doing an info-set joining both datastores. 2 reasons why:
- not a good idea to report on very detailed information (sales order, GI dates) on cube level, if you have a scenario with lots of data. You end up with big dimension tables a poor report times;
- there are better alternatives, like drill-through from cube query to DS query with report to report interface or Datastore-based reporting...so...
With this solution you do not need to change the data model, I think, but test to be sure. See if the reporting times are acceptable. If not...
2) First confirm your requirements, because what you show in your example as "to-be" have details that do not make sense, probably..
- if you have more that one schedule line for each item then you would have many times the item information like material/price;
- if not or if you could cope with that, then you can consider:
2.1) create a new DS that agregattes from the previous on, with the same key of sales order item; do you have schedule line kf's? if so you these KF's should be additive in DS update; But if you may have more one scheduled line for 1 item then you have to decide what to do with the GI data (keep the last one posted, use code..) and other characteristics.
2.2) update the shedule line datasource to the sales order item DS; same comments apply.
2.3) maintain the missing data in the cube update rules from sheduled lines DS. Using code, refer to the respective item in the order item ODS. You would have to make sure that DS's data are correctly activated before updating the infocube.
What solutions to choose?
2.1 is better in terms of flexibility and architecture...because you could re-arrange the new DS to answer future needs, without loosing the 1st line DS's data;
2.2 choose if data volumes and disk space are a concern...
or
2.3 it's OK, but i do not like it because of what explained in point 1...

Sales Order Schedule line not populating in the Production order

Queation: Is there a way to tell the system to look at the sales order, line item AND schedule line. It is displayed in MD04 but it doesn't carry over to the Production Order. We are a MTO and this information is relevant in a number of ways.
Please Help.

Vickie,
If you are using MTO scenario then when you run the MRP for the material, it will create a planned order for that sales order based on the dates calculated from the sales order schedule line (Shipping tab)...
So now when you convert the planned order to production order, all the sales order details will get copied.
try and revert back.

Sales order schedule line quantities in decimals

Gurus - Required your help to resolve the following scenario.
I'm facing with the problem where schedule lines of a sales order allocated with decimal quantities even though materials with UOM as EA(Each). For example Material A of sales qty 13 has the schedule lines allocated as 11.960 and 2.040. The delivery has been created as per the schedule lines with qty 11.960 and 2.040 and it has been pick/packed and delivered to the customer. Now, while issuing goods for the delivery, received the error message as "Serial number management only allows whole numbers".
Can anyone provide what are the possible ways to round the delivered qty and issue the goods, when the delivery is complete?

Sree - Question 1 - Why would you deliver the product and then try goods issue it (In general ;)...anyway....I know, a lot of companies do that way....
Question 2 - How much exactly did you ship out, surely must not have shipped products in decimals, since you've EACHES defined and not KGs....or LBs...
I would suggest finding out the correct quantities shipped out and then cancelling this delivery document....you can then go on to modify sales order schedule line accordingly and then process it again..."WHAT ABOUT PICK PACK DETAILS"....before cancelling this delivery doc out..capture the packing details (HUs) and then apply them to the new delivery doc... if you are using external system for packing HUs.....process the IDOC (or file etc) using the new delivery doc number....
Hope you got the direction )
Thanks

Mapping between Sales Order-Schedule-Line and Delivery-item

Hi together,
I want to extend the Datasource 2LIS_12_VCITM (Delivery-number, -item, Order-number,-item is available) by Sales Order Schedule Line.
Could not find any ERP table (VBEP and LIPS allow a mapping only on item level) for the mapping between Sales Order Schedule Line and Delivery item yet. The use of the extractor 2LIS_12_VCSCL for the extention (e.g. infoset) afterwards is no option.
Thanks for your help in advance!!
Assign full points!!
Sven

Hi Reddy,
thanks for your answer.
I know that I have to add this field.. but the problem is, how to fill this field. I don't know how to map the delivery-item with the schedule line-item.

Creating Outbound deliveries based on the sales order schedule lines

Dear all.
Is it possible to create outbound delivery documents based on the sales order schedule lines?
Eg:
Let's say I have sales order line item 10 with below mentioned requested delivery dates in its schedule line level.
30.07.2009
10.08.2009
20.08.2009
30.08.2009
Will it possible for me to create different deliveries for those 4 schedule lines individually? I should be able to create 10.08.2009 delivery without clubbing 30.07.2009 delivery with it.
Appreciate your help!

I'm not sure because I'm not before SAP but try transaction VL10E that is to create delivery for schedule lines. I'm not sure what are the split criterias.
Please check OSS note 113411 tha has many OSS note reference in this subject.

Hi Matt,
 Its no possible If you are maintaining data at Order Level.
Try to introduce one more ODS/DSO in between ODS's and CUBE by keeping Sales Order only key field. Load data from both DSO's in required fields only. Then PUSH delta to CUBE. In this why you can maintain 1 record. Try to compress cube(with delete Zero Record Rows) to delete unnessasary records.
Hope it Helps

Sales Order Schedule Lines getting updated

Hi,
In my system when I am changing the delivery date of 'AB' confirmation in the Purchase order Item level confirmations, the corresponding Sales Order' schedule line is also getting updated with the delivery date.
So, my question is is this a standard SAP functionality or this fuctionality has been implemented through BADI, Exits etc.
Regards,
Rachit

Rachit,
This is standard SAP behavior. In 3rd party sale process, the changes done to PO (qty, dates) are updated automatically in the sales order.

Difference between sales order schedule line and item level data

Hi All,
Could you please let me know what is the difference between sales order schedule line and item level data?
Thanks,
Ramya

Hi Ramya,
Sales order schedule line contains del date, order qty, rounded qty, confirmed qty, delivery qty, schedule line category, purchase requisition etc., ie It contains the full details of sales order data with respect to the scheduled line of delivery. The total quantity of a sales order item can be subdivided into schedule lines that contain the various subsets with the corresponding delivering dates.
Sales order Item level data contains details of the item in the sales order like material code, net price, net value, UoM, PO details, reason for rejection if any, material group,billing date, plant etc., ie this
contains the full details of item irrespective of scheduled line.
Regards,
R. Senthil Mareeswaran.
