Strange behavior in purchasing concerning delivery time

Hi,
We have noticed a strange thing when it comes to purchasing. We have a delivery cycle stating deliveries for a material on tuesday and thursday.
If I order today, a Thursday, and we have 2 days of delivery time the system proposes Tuesday as delivery time. That is fine.
If I have a 3 day delivery time the system also proposes Tuesday, which is also fine.
But if I have 4 days delivery time I would expect the system to propose Thursday as delivery date. I would have said Friday(1), Monday(2), Tuesday(3), Wednesday(4) and since we don´t get deliveries on Wednesday we get the goods on Thursday.
But the system proposes Tuesday and I have to use a 6 day delivery time to get to Thursday. Clearly our system are using also the weekend when it calculates the proposed delivery time.
I have checked our calendar settings and we only have Monday to Friday as working days.
We get a problem with this functionality. If we have a leadtime of 2 days and deliveries all five days in the week both orders created on thursday and friday will have monday as delivery day, but only the goods actually ordered on Thursday will arrive on Monday. The other of course on Tuesday. So we have to trick the system by removing Tuesday from the delivery calendar. And then we cannot use MRP for the vendors with materials of that particular setting, since then we will not get deliveries on Tuesday.
Can I, by some setting, tell the system to skip weekend when proposing delivery time? We are on a Retail system ECC6.0 and are using the planning workbench, WWP1/2, if that gives ant more ideas for action.
best regards,

Unfortunately, in MM-PUR you have to use 7 day work week for delivery scheduling. It is not possible to eliminate weekends like you would in production scheduling using the factory calendar.

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.

PO delivery time going wrong very strange

Hi gurus,
Something really strange is going on, when I create manually a PO system should calculate the delivery time based on GR time + planned delivery time + values at vendor level or purchasing organization. I have neither of this values but the vendor delivery time so I want that system adds to todays date this number of days and take it as the planned delivery time, the problem is that system behavies really strange, here is an example of how is populating the dates:
Planned delivery time 5 days working days in calendar is only from monday to friday, lets say I put the order on March 10 which is thursday I spect delivery date on thursday 17 but system is saying Tuesday 15
I changed the pln del time to several values to see if there is any patron and I noticed that if I put 2 days system gives monday 14 (cos sat and sun) but if I put 3 day, it also say monday 14th, and if I put 4 days it also gives me monday 14, only when I go for 5 days then system says tuesday 15th, and this is valid with all the numbers I put as delivery time, looks like system is trying to match the last digit of my planned delivery time with the last digits of the day like 14 with the 24th
I know this sounds silly but it's what I am facing, any ideas or does someone have seen something like this before.?
I have checked and this happens for all my materials

Saturday and sunday are holiday for you, but not for the transporter.
if goods have been despatched on   friday, they will move on sat and sun as well and reach on time i.e after 5 days. i.e. 15th.
the basic concept being that goods(transporter) will travel/move on your holidays as well.
FYI
Delivery date calculation takes into consideration :
1) Purchasing processing time in the Plant parameters in the customization and is calculated based on the Factory calendar days.
2) Planned delivery time maintained in material master and is calculated based on Normal calendar days
3)GR Processing time Maintained in Material master record, calculated based on Factory calender.

Delivery time calculation from purchase info records in MRP

Hi experts.
I am using MRP -manual reorder point planning . I have maintain the delivery lead time as 10 days . This material has a info-record for a vendor and a contract also. we maintain the delivery time for the supplier is 20 days in the info records. And a source list is also maintain for this material with reference to the contract and assigned as MRP relevant.
We run MRP of this material and create the PR directly.
we run ME59N for automatic creation of PO also.
what I see is the delivery time defined in the PR is consider as 10 days from the material master MRP view. But when we convert the PR to PO the delivery time is updated from the inforecord. but the delivery date in the PO line item is not update. It is showing the same delivery date as PR.
Is it possible to update the delivery date bas eon the info record when we convert from PR to PO automatically?
regards
DP

I don't know the answer to your question, but can point you in another direction; you can set the system up in such a way that already MRP (as per the way you have described that you work) will take into consideration the planned delivery from the Info record/Contract:
In transaction OPPQ check the "Scheduling: Info Rec/Agreement" box!
This will make MRP take the planned delivery time from the IR or Agreement, whenever the source (vendor) is identified during the MRP run.

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!

Strange Behavior from iTunes 7.2

Running itunes - 7.2Recently had my itunes library “corrupted” or non functional.
Spent a long, long time rebuilding the library (see below) and noticed some strange behavior that has me terrified that itunes is corrupted and I am going to loose all the hard work, etc..
1. I have about 100 GB of music in various formats (apple protected/itunes store, mp3 (128 to 320), apple lossless, wav) and when I tried to rebuild the library by clicking on add to library it only added about 65 GB of the 100 GB. I had to go through and figure out what was missing and manually choose the specific folder when I added it.
Major pain and very time consuming.
So it is not adding songs correctly, but through way too much effort able to work around this.
2. About ½ of the itunes store tunes I purchased are no longer apple protected format. Somehow they were converted to mp3 at 192kbs. Some of the songs play fine others are now not as crisp and make a poping sound or skip. How could this happen? Are these files corrupted? Will I loose them?
3. At the top center of itunes the information bar, where the read out is for what song is playing and how much time has elapsed in the song, is not working. When I click on a song it starts playing but the elapsed time bar and counter never move, and when the next song starts playing the information never changes. It is stuck on what ever song you initiate play with by clicking on it and the information stays frozen.
4. itunes randomly stops playing at the end of a song….If listening to an album it is usually after three or four songs and when listening to a play list it is usually after one song.
I am afraid itunes is corrupted and will not function correctly and I am going to loose the hard work I put in trying to recover from the last crash.
Any suggestions??
Can’t wait for time machine. I hope it works as advertised. If so I could just go back in time to the last time iTunes worked correctly and go from there.

First of all I hope that you have a good b/u of all your tunes - either on ext HD or on DVD. Don't forget to b/u the iTunes Library and .xml files at the same time.
Have you tried to reinstall iTunes? Drag the app to the trash and remove the iTunesX.pkg from HD>Library>Receipts>iTunesX.pkg. Using a fresh .dmg of iTunes 7.2 reinstall.
Have you repaired permissions with Disk Utility?
Is your Quicktime up to date? At least version v7.1.5.

Strange Behavior in iMovie 08

I recently purchased a MacPro, installed Leopard and moved all my files, applications, and settings from my MacBook Pro notebook by way of a Time Machine backup. Everything went without a hitch except for iMovie 08. When I open it it appears to start up but the application window never opens and almost all the menu items are grayed out. I can quit the application and start it again, but still get the same strange behavior. I have repaired permissions, verified my disk, deleted preferences and reinstalled iLife, then updated in software update, all with no effect. However iMovie 08 runs just fine on my MacBook Pro which should be identical to my Mac Pro. What gives? Ironic since a primary reason for purchasing this computer was for its enhance performance capabilities

1) load and install the update for iM08, vers 7.1.
2) then, in System Preferences/Monitor/Color Profile choose 'any other' than the actual one (e.g. AdobeRGB).. launch iM08.. now, set the Color Profile to your wanted one..

First check that your time zone is correctly set in time and date settings
See if you have auto update available this is network Dependant.
It maybe a software bug if non of the above fixes the issue

Question regarding over ONE MONTH delivery time?

Hello all,
I am aware of the W-Series shipping thread, but it hasn't been updated in some time so I wasn't sure it was still active. Others complained there of long and inaccurate delivery times, but others had the inverse experience - so I thought I would ask anyway.
I purchased a W520 online earlier today, but checking my order status tonight reports that the laptop itself is scheduled for a ship date of the first of May. Assuming I allow only a week for the delivery to actually arrive, it means I'm waiting over a month for my purchase to arrive. This seems like a very long time!
When I purchased the laptop, the site reported an estimated ship date of April 17th. Ten days until the hardware ships is resonable for this type of purchase. A thirty day wait is not (especially when there was no warning of backorder or delay when I made the purchase). Had I known upfront the estimated delay would be so bad, I never would have made the purchase. Now I understand that the delivery date provided during purchase is an estimate, and in no way a guarantee, but the delta between the two dates has me concerned. It took quite a bit of research for me to get over the purported SSS issue, and that buying a Lenovo was still a smart move - but once again I'm starting to worry.
My hope is that the estimated ship date listed under my Order Status will change to a date that is closer to the date given during the purchase, and that I won't be waiting a moon cycle to get my new W520. The purchase was made less than twenty-four hours ago, and although Lenovo said it will only take six hours for my Order Status to populate, I'm hoping this is simply a calculation error. Why I am truly worried and am bothering to post this question, however, is that other items I purchased in the same order DO have realistic ship and delivery dates. I ordered a sleeve to accompany my W520, and my Order Status is already reporting that it will ship 4/8 and be delivered 4/13. If this is accurate, and it does seem plausible, it makes it more likely my W520 estimated ship date is also accurate. And that is basically unacceptable.
Has anyone recently purchased/received a W520, and if so how long was the delivery delay? Am I (hopefully) correct in assuming the May first ship date is simply an early calculation by the Order Status page and will be updated to reflect a more realistic ship/delivery date? Has anyone else experienced an issue with early estimates of ship date on their Order Status being inaccurate and abnormally long?
My specs are i7-2640M, 15.6" FHD (1920x1080), Quadro 2000M, 8 GB RAM, 320GB Hard Disk Drive (7200rpm). Everything else was stock.
Thanks in advance for any insight or help. Here is to hoping I won't have to cancel this order because of what should be an easily avoidable issue.
~G

We don't see many users showing up here in the forum with new W520 machines right now, which may indicate sales are slow, which naturally makes you wonder why the wait is so long to ship new W520 orders. But someone just caught a store in the Netherlands accidentally featuring the new Lenovo Ivy Bridge/Kepler laptops (also see here) in their online store for sale.
So if the detailed ordering info for the new machines is at the retailer level right now, then Lenovo will likely announce the new laptops on or just after April 29, when Intel is expected to officially release the new Ivy Bridge processors. And it also means Lenovo has probably diverted much of its current production resources to building the new machines for the release.
That may explain the W520 shipping delays, although it's certainly a pain in the rear for anyone who wants to buy one of the current models, before they go out of stock. Anyway, a little buzz is always entertaining--that's certainly what makes the Apple world go round (the Apple forums are rife with about 150 pages of Ivy Bridge buzz, vs. almost nothing here in the W-series forum, so this forum may be asleep).
I'm dying to see test results of Nvidia's killer GTX 680M Kepler-based mobile graphics processor (and workstation sibling) when it finally comes out, although that may take a bit longer (and may only ship in 17" machines). But it should have roughly 3.4 times the performance of the Quadro 2000M.

Planned delivery time of an externally procured material

Hello All
     I am having a scenario wherein some of the raw materials are send out for subcontracting & in return we get a semi-finished, if suppose we send raw materials for 500EA of SF then we get back initially 50EA after 10 days & then 50EA after every 7 days, the initial lot of 50EA we get in 10EA because the vendor has to setup the line for production at his end. How can i map this into the SAP system as in how shall i decide the planned delivery time of this SF.
       Please clarify the entire process as in how it shall be mapped in SAP. Your inputs are highly appreciated and required.
Thanks in Advance
Regards,
J K Tharwani

Thanks for your valuable inputs dear,
          I agree that in purchase order itself we can maitain delivery schedules manually as per the delivery given by subcontractor.
          I am having a concern here, can't we simulate this in SAP so as Schedule lines are automatically created as per the order quantity & as per the delivery time for a given qty. Is there any functionality in SAP so that we can map this scenario as per the requirement, there would be definitely this provision in SAP, do throw some more light on this. Your valuable inputs & guidance are highly appreciated.
          Thanks again for your inputs.

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 ?
Regards,
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.

App store reports Pinball HD and 11 other apps cannot be purchased at this time.....

App store reports "Pinball HD and 11 other apps cannot be purchased at this time"..... This occurs whenever I log into the app store. I have already purchased this app (and presumably the 11 others as well). I believe this started when it showed up as an app I should update (for free).
My wife and I share this iPad and we have apps purchased under two different store accounts on this machine. I have tried to log off and sign in with her account and then check updates but with either account I am told that all apps are up to date. All of our credit card info is current. Any clues?

Already on Automatic..... :(
This is an iPad 1 - I've had it since it first came out (ordered directly from Apple). Lots of apps and purchases over the years. My wife got her own WiFi only iPad shortly after mine as she fell in love with it and I don't share well. ;) This only started about 7-10 days ago. I did not update to iOs 5.1 until last night so this predates that. My concern is that when the iPad 3 arrives next Friday that this will transfer over.
Ever since my wife received her own iPad our purchases are pretty much separate.

Strange behavior when "trying" to burn a disk.

At least I think this is strange behavior, following the instructions in the help viewer, topic "Backing up your music to a CD or DVD." One thing for sure, it's not burning a disc and it ain't telling me why.
I select the playlist and click "Burn Disc"
Requests a blank disc. I insert one.
Message "checking media"
after about a minute, the disc ejects
Message "checking media" displays another 30 seconds
No other messages displayed.
What the ??? Shouldn't it at least display an error message??

Whoops, sorry, this was while burning a playlist.
I've also tried some Pleomax CD disks (Samsung), with no luck. I've tried burning directly from iTunes, and from Toast 7.
Of the types I've tried, the Sony DVD's have been the best for me. Haven't tried many types though. Maybe I can get disks one at a time until I find a brand my burner likes.
Still, isn't it strange that there is NO error message? It just quits?
