Shipping Deadlines

Is there a way to not have the shipping deadlines redetermine the delivery date based on the route transit time during delivery creation but still be able to do rescheduling within the delivery if the user manually changes the delivery date or route? The situation we are having is that delivery date might be for 05/11/2007 with a 1 day transit time so the picking, loading, goods issue date is 05/10/2007. If the delivery is not created until 05/11/2007 the delivery date changes to 05/14/2007. The plant is not aware of the original date and could have made arrangements to delivery on 05/11/2007. Is there a way to not have the delivery date change but still use the rescheduling button in delivery for route or delivery date changes and have all of the other dates change accordingly? Any help is apreciated.

In SAP, even id delivery date is 05/11/2007, but stock is not available, it will not allow to deliver the material. Your Actual PGI date can be different from the planned PGI date.If stock is ready on 05/14/2007, system will allow youto create delivery on that date.

SD shipping deadline question

Hi! Gurus,
We are planning to use the Shipping Deadlines functionality in transportation module.
Has anybody worked with that before? I am not on the LE side but I have been assigned the repsonsibility of handling this.
If you guys can give me any input, it wud be great.
The navigation is as follows..
t-code SPRO
LE
Transportation
Basic Transportation Functions
Shipping Deadlines
Maintain Project ID
Maintain deadlines and events
Define Transportation Connection points
I can understand what it's for and all SPRO is doable by me. But my question is, is it something related with external devices like WAP cellphones to transmit data??
Please help me out.
Thanks for the help.

As far as I know, the shipping deadlines functionality in transportation module does not directly talk to any external devices

How to customize Additional Shipping Deadlines in Shipment

Hi,
Could anyone please let me know how to customize the points in Additional Shipping Deadlines in Shipments (VL01N/VL02N).
This comes in the Header/Dates tab. Indeed, I would like to define my own points.
Thanks,

IMG->Logistics Execution->Shipping->Basic Functions -> Scheduling -> Additional Deadlines
There you can define your own deadlines, create event groups and link them to delivery types.

Does Apple actually make their shipping deadline?

I'm due for a May 17th shipping, and a May 19th arrival. I'm seriously doubt the iPad will make that deadline. That's just 3 days. Of course, I live near a major UPS hub, and a major FedEx hub also. But still, the shipment date is a bit confident. Has anyone actually had their iPad arrive within 3 days of shipping?

I will let you know tomorrow.
I ordered mine on the 14 th of April with shipment date of May 5th.
My iPad shipped from Shenzhen CN on Sunday May 1st at 1:37 p.m. Original delivery date stated May 5th which is Thursday.
I live in central NJ....Somerset County. As of 6:39 p.m. this evening my iPad is in Newark Airport about 45 minutes away from me. It is likely that it will be here tomorrow.

Problem with creation of Return Delivery

Hi gurus,
I have created a return sales order without reference. But when I click on PGR, following error is shown
1) Item 10, mtl staging data 10.03.08 replaced by current date
2) Outbound delivery is on backorder.(check shipping deadline).
Please let me know how to resolve this issue, since i am not aware of back order processing.
Thanks in advance,
Amol

Hi Amol,
Please ignore my earlier post.
normally you create a Returns Order with reference to a earlier Invoice or Sales order .
In your case ,Based on the returns order , u need to create a returns delivery and then do the PGR,
later based on the returns delivery to need to create a returns credit memo.
Thanks,
Umesh.

Mode of Transport - Border field in SAP r/3 3.1

Hi Gurus
I need an help
I have a issue where the field ModeofTrnsprt-Border (EIKP-EXPVZ)) needs to be populated automatically in the Foreign Trade Data section of the Header of the Delivery. User is able to get this value populated automatically in some of the deliveries for the same plant but for some of the deliveries in the same plant, he needs to enter the value manually
Now the user wants to have the value in this field populated automatically.
but the issue is that we are using r/3 3.1 system where I am not able to find exactly where the configuration needs to be done.
In SAP r/3 4.6 and above this can be done in
SPRO>S&D>Foreign Trade/Customs - Transportation Data
1. Define Customs Offices
2. Define Modes Of Transport
3. Define Valid Combinations: Mode of Transport - Customs Office
4. Default Values For Foreign Trade Header Data
but in 3.1 system we dont have such options, we dont have Logistics and Execution also in in SPRO.

Chandra
I looked at the IMG and under S&D -> Transportation -> I just have the folloing options
Define Number Ranges for shipments
Define Transportation Relevance
Define Blocking reasons for shipments
Define Shipment types
Shipping deadlines
Maintain Standard selection variants for shipment list

Troubleshooting Leopard printing problems

Leopard printing problems fall into several categories
a) Faulty or missing Leopard print driver
b) Faulty implementation of the print command from the active application
c) Faulty equipment, eg printer, cables, etc
d) Faulty networking/sharing
e) Faulty or incomplete software installation
The fact that a driver is included with Leopard is no guarantee that it will work. I have heard it from HP's tech staff that several of their drivers installed with Leopard are malfunctioning and I expect that many other printer manufacturers rushed out some poorly tested drivers in order to meet Leopard's shipping deadline.
Equally, some non-Apple applications have not yet properly tested their print command under Leopard so they cannot be used to reliably test whether a print driver is working or not. To get a more reliable indicator, save a print job as a PDF and then open the PDF in Preview and print it from there - or print a simple text page from TextEdit.
Also be sure to check cable connections carefully and if possible, try a different cable to make sure that this isn't the cause of printing problems.
Networking/sharing is fraught with pitfalls especially if the network is wireless. If possible, check printer sharing over a wired Ethernet network. There may also be issues when the print driver is not the same version on all computers in the network. To ensure that there are no remnants of a previous driver it's a good idea to completely uninstall previous drivers and then reinstall the most recent driver. To do this (for example on a 10.4 system):
1. Delete the printer by opening Printer Setup Utility, highlighting the printer if it is listed and clicking on the Delete button.
2. Clear the printer folder by navigating to Hard Drive/Library/Printers and dragging the offending printer-specific folder to the Trash.
3. Clear the Printer Preferences by searching in the System for "com.apple.print" and dragging all files so named to the Trash.
4. Empty the Trash
5. Repair Disk Permissions
6. Download the latest drivers for your printer and install.
7. Open Printer Setup Utility and if the printer is listed, highlight it and press the Delete button at the top of the window. Then click the Add icon, single-click the name of the printer and click Add so that the printer appears in the printer list.
8. To check that it works, create a test page in TextEdit, configure the print job in the Print window and print.

Pricing Date determination

2. is it possible to have a calculation rule for each customer. For example Customer A pricing date based on delivery date; Customer B pricing date based on goods issue I date

Hi,
The pricing date is proposed based on the setting you make in the Sales document configuration. ( T code : VOV8)
You have a field" Prop.f.pricing date " in the Requested delivery date / pricing date / purchase order date segment.
Then you can choose the follwoing options:
Blank - Indicates the current date as the pricing date
A - Indicates the date based on the requested delivery date
B - Indicates the date based on the order validity start from date
And the pricing in the billing document is copied from thte sales order / Delivery document..
It again depends on the setting u have in the copy control from order - billng or delivery - billing.
In the copy control, in the item settings you have two fields relavant for this.
One is pricing source and the other is pricing type.
The pricing sources are generally the order. But if you want you can change it to other values mentioned in the drop down,
but this values have no effect if the pricing type is B.
Any other value other than B in the pricing type will take the reference document price mentioned in the pricing source field.
but for the pricing type B. The new price is determined in the billing order.
Prerequisites
To activate automatic determination of the pricing date or the settlement date, you must make the following settings in Customizing:
Definition of the date rule
When you define the date rule, you specify a sequence of shipping deadlines (for example, end of transportation planning or planned start of loading) which are used to determine the pricing date or the settlement date. The sequence of the deadlines reflects their priority for access. If there is no value for the first deadline, then the next deadline is checked, etc.
You make these settings in Customizing: Logistics Execution ® Transportation ® Shipment Costs ® Basic Shipping Functions ® Define date rules.
Assigning the date rule
In the definition of shipment cost item categories, you can assign a date rule to the pricing date and one to the settlement date.
You make these settings in Customizing: Logistics Execution ® Transportation ® Shipment Costs ® Shipment Cost Document ® Shipment Cost Types and Item cats ® Define item categories.

How to record Real Delivery Dates to Customers?

Hi I am working in the supply chain department of medium sized company, but I am not an SD expert (not even close), but I got a "can't do" answer I would like to discuss with you in this forum.
I am trying to monitor real delivery dates to customers so I can get a real feel of how much time it takes from the day the Sales order is entered in the system to the day it is received by the customer.
I was told by our inhouse SD experts that they do not know a way to record in our SAP ERP 6.0 when a product was really delivered to a customers so we have to rely only in the date the product left the warehouse
As you could imagine I am not happy with that answer, so if you could please let me know whether one can o cannot record such information on the systems (and if yes, how can I pouint SD people to the right place)
Thanks in advance

It is a part of standard delivered SAP, in fact it is part of LE Module which is a split module from SD. You need to use the Transportation module.
A shipment can have multiple deliveries and yes, it can contain deliveries to several different customers. Shipment is used to:
Combine deliveries into one inbound or outbound shipment
Specify shipment stages
Legs
border crossing points
load transfer points
Assign goods to handling units
Assign service agents
Specify planned transportation deadlines
Record actual transportation deadlines
Specify output required for transportation (such as shipping papers or EDI messages)
Define transport-relevant texts
Take a look at the following documentation and read more about Shipments here:

Where can I complain?

Hi, (sorry for my bad english) i'm searching the place where I can complain about the poor shipping Service.
My name is Maïté Rivard and I'm student in university. I got my precedent computer broken one month and half ago, then I decided to look for a new computer. A friend of mine had a lenovo and convinced me to take the same as his. The 25 of octobre, I ordered it by phone. The 1rst of november, you received my check and took the payment. But since it will make one month and soon half since you continue reporting the expedition day on my order. It's the fourth time now, and i'm really pissed off right now because I can't have anyone help me. I sent a mail to the gentle man who served me on the phone and he said that a necessary piece for the construction of my computer is missing. But on the phone before, he said me that you were having some in stock, ready to ship!!! I want to hear the real reason of this serious lack of responsibility, because i absolutely need a computer for school work, my session is going really really bad because I can't do some wotk that absolutely needs a computer, I'm in university, therefore I CAN'T accept any lack of yours, may it be on the "construction of the machine", on the pieces missing for it, or even on the shipping deadlines!!!!! I am really deceived and stressed out about university!!!
I want the real explanation, I want you to resolve this problem, and I want a compensation for all this time you have took my payment but didn't sent me the product, because right now you are just at the bottom of my confiance list.
Thank you.

Hi, Koyukon -
I don't expect you to understand since you have been rewarded as a good soldier should be and cannot risk agreeing with a loose canon such as I. Reward by points, what a great motivation for all of those who measure who has more.
As Rachel has so kindly pointed out, you do not know me, certainly not sufficiently to establish my motives nor to project what I may or may not do. If you are as egalitarian as you represent yourself to be, then the fact that I may not agree with you should not be reason for you to find fault with my responses. Is this perhaps a variant on the old theme of, "We measure a person's worth by how well they agree with us?"
If acquiring points were a purpose, would not it be more important to a Level 1, 2, or 3 member than to a Level 4 or 5 member?
What is the reward you perceive in acquiring points? Peer recognition, status, honorifics of some kind? For what it is worth, I am more than old enough to have already acquired all of those I might want, and to have done so before beginning to post in Discussions.
What, then, is the risk you state I am afraid of, that would keep me from agreeing with any point of view I chose to?
Your original question was to find a venue to submit a complaint to Apple. In your later posts that devolved to just having a place to vent. Which do you really seek?
Venting, generic complaining, can be a good thing, but it's not appropriate everywhere; this is one of those places.
The Terms of Use for these forums clearly states the purpose and nature of these forums; it would be reasonable to consider that to be akin to a mission statement. I can operate within them, or go elsewhere - it's my choice. To do otherwise is to play the role of King Canute.

Assignment of Order Category to Order Type

Good morning!
Question regarding Order Category assignment:
I am in the following path location in SPRO:
Plant Maintenance and Customer Service->Maintenance and Service Processing->Maintenance and Service Orders->Functions and Settings for Order Types->Define Change Docs, Collective Purc. Req. Indicator, Operation No. Interval
Looking at this configuration, I noticed that our Order Category values are not consistent. (you can view Order Category by clicking on the 'print' button once configuration screen is open - view name is V_T399X_S).
Possible entries for Order Category are the following:
01     Internal Order (Controlling)
02     Accrual Calculation Order (Controlling)
03     Model Order (Controlling)
04     CO Production Order
05     Product Cost Collector
06     QM Order
10     PP Production Order
20     Network
30     Maintenance order
40     Process Order
50     Inspection Lot
60     Personnel Order
70     Shipping deadlines
I would assume that all of my PM order type should have category assignment of 30. However, some of my PM order types hold no assignment. Can someone explain the following two points:
1. Where in SPRO is Order Category assigned to Order Type
2. What is the purpose of Order Category.
Thank you very much in advance!
Alex

Hi Narasimhan,
The view I am looking at is one behind the config which is located in this step:
Plant Maintenance and Customer Service->Maintenance and Service Processing->Maintenance and Service Orders->Functions and Settings for Order Types->Define Change Docs, Collective Purc. Req. Indicator, Operation No. Interval
View is: V_T399X_S (Increment for Automatic Operation Number)
My point of confusion pertains to the fact that category field is null for order type belonging to three of our plants. From the data integrity perspective, I don't see how this would be possible, given that this assignment is performed by SAP automatically. My only theory would be that it happened during SAP upgrade, or that there is a problem with how the view is written.
Thank you!
Alex

What is forward and backward shedule in planning

what is forward and backward shedule in planning ?
and make to order

Hi,
Backward scheduling is always carried out for both delivery scheduling and transportation scheduling. If backward scheduling determines a material-availability deadline or transportation-scheduling deadline that lies in the past, the system automatically carries out forward scheduling to determine a delivery deadline that can be confirmed.
Backward Scheduling
The system first carries out backward scheduling from the requested delivery deadline:
Requested delivery deadline
./. minus transit time
Goods issue deadline
Goods issue deadline
./. minus loading time
Loading deadline
Based on the loading deadline, the system determines two further dates, the transportation planning deadline and the material availability deadline.
Loading deadline
./. minus transportation lead time
Transportation scheduling deadline
Loading deadline
./. minus pick/pack time
Material availability deadline
The earlier of these last two dates (material availability deadline and transportation scheduling deadline) determines when a schedule line becomes due for shipping.
Forward Scheduling
If backward scheduling determines a date in the past as the date on which a schedule line becomes due for shipping or if the material will not be available on the date calculated, the system automatically carries out forward scheduling to determine the earliest possible shipping deadline.
For example, starting from the current date, the system calculates the loading deadline, the goods issue deadline, and then the confirmed delivery date. It does this by adding together the shipping times mentioned above

Sales Order Delivery Shipment

Hi All,
Could somebody please explain the need for the above mentioned chain of documents with reference to LES in R/3.
What is the essence of each one of them: Sales Order>Delivery>Shipment
Where does a transfer order fit in between the three?
regards,
Sudhir

Hi
This is basic process of shippment of goods to customer from Sales side:
Sales Order --> Delivery --> Shipment
Sales Order: The sales order is a contractual agreement between a sales organization and a sold-to party about delivering products or providing a service for defined prices, quantities and times.
In sales order processing, the system implements various functions:
In the sales order, functions such as pricing and printouts are available. The system checks whether the material is available for the requested delivery date and if necessary, transfers the requirements to materials planning. Shipping deadlines and shipping points are determined in delivery scheduling.
Delivery: the outbound delivery supports all shipping activities including picking, packing, transportation and goods issue. During the outbound delivery process, shipping-planning information is recorded, status of shipping activities is monitored and data accumulated during shipping processing is documented. When the outbound delivery is created, the shipping activities, such as picking or delivery scheduling, are initiated, and data that is generated during shipping processing is included in the delivery.
Delivery: the outbound delivery supports all shipping activities including picking, packing, transportation and goods issue. During the outbound delivery process, shipping-planning information is recorded, status of shipping activities is monitored and data accumulated during shipping processing is documented. When the outbound delivery is created, the shipping activities, such as picking or delivery scheduling, are initiated, and data that is generated during shipping processing is included in the delivery.
Shipping: Shipping is an important part of the logistics chain in which guaranteed customer service and distribution planning support play major roles.
In shipping processing, all delivery procedure decisions can be made at the start of the process by:
Taking into account general business agreements with your customer
Recording special material requests
Defining shipping conditions in the sales order
Transfer order will come to into picture, if storage location is warehouse managed, from the same storage location, if you need to delivery the goods to Customer. This activity will start once delivery is created and before POst Goods Issue.
Hope it helps.

Srinivas
