Transit Time in Calendar Days?

Hello,
For quite a long time, I thought in transportation and delivery scheduling the TRANSIT TIME is measured in Calendar Days, which means weekends and public holidays are also included. For example, if the delivery date is 2007-12-31, and transit time is 8 days, the system will calculate Loading Date as 2007-12-31 minus 8, which is 2007-12-23.
But a few days ago, I found my understanding is not correct. It seems the TRANSIT TIME is also measured in work days, in the route factory calendar (not the shipping point factory calendar). In this case, the loading date in above example will be calculated as 2007-12-19, for a typical calendar.
Can someone confirmed this?
Regards, Ke

Yes that's right Ke.
The calendar you maintain, if has a weekly off or for that matter country specific holidays these days will be considered as non working days in SAP. however if you want to change this you can define your own calendar having 365 days working.

Calculating the planned delivery time in calendar days or working days

Hi,
It seems that there is a way to calculate the planned delivery time in calendar days instead of working days.
When I use the "Planned delivery time calculation" (WPDTC), in Evaluation Options, I got the message :
"Note that follow-on applications are currently interpreting the planned delivery time as calendar days.
If they should be interpreting the planned delivery time as working days, you need to modify these applications. If the planned delivery time should be calculated in working days, there needs to be a factory calendar in Customizing with the calendar ID Country of vendor."
When MRP create a PR -with MDBT, MD03 or MD01- I want my Planned delivery time to be in working days.
I can't manage to make that "If the planned delivery time should be calculated in working days, there needs to be a factory calendar in Customizing with the calendar ID Country of vendor."
I would appreciate your help.
Thanks

Hi,
I understand that it makes sense that vendors calendar has to be different (compared to my plant).
But, I still don't understand why in the SAP help, they say "If the planned delivery time should be calculated in working days, there needs to be a factory calendar in Customizing with the calendar ID Country of vendor."
It seems that planned delivery time may follow a calendar.
Thanks,

Transit time setting in Route determination

Hi All
I am configuring route determination. We have a transit time of 5 days for one route and if the system encounters a Sunday in between, it considers sunday as holiday and confirms delivery after 6th day. Please note that we have maintained Sunday as holiday in the factory calendar because it should not allow shipping activities or any other activities on Sundays in the plant and shipping point, but transit should be allowed. (I mean, if a truck leaves on Friday, it will not take holiday on Sunday)
Please let me know how I can do that

Hi Monika,
I havent really tried this...but my logic says that you maintain the holidays and working hours by factory calendar under
SPRO -> Logistics Execution -> Shipping -> Basic Shipping Functions > Scheduling > Delivery Scheduling and Transportation Scheduling > Define Scheduling By Shipping Point
Here you would be able to maintain working hours and holidays for your plant/shipping point and Sunday would be a holiday.
In customizing for route determination maintain a new calendar with no holidays. So regardless of which day the truck leaves it doesnt have any holiday.
Here you would need to activate delivery and transportation scheduling based on shipping point.

Amit

Route - Transit Time

According to the business through EDI customer places orders. We maintain two shipping conditions delivery and Pick-up. Based on the customer profile we assigned shipping conditions on the ship to customer master in the shipping tab.
My query is related to the customers assigned Pick-up as a shipping condition in customer master.
As we receive orders through EDI sometimes pick-up customer will send in 2 dates on their orders.
1. Requested delivery date u2013 The date they want the order in their warehouse.
2. Requested ship date u2013 The date they want to pick up the order.
In some cases customers will only send one date that is requested delivery date. In this scenario our customer service team is manually back out the date accordingly so it will show the correct u2018material availability dateu2019 and u2018loading dateu2019 on the u2018overviewu2019 of the order under u2018shippingu2019 tab.
Eg: If customer sends the req delivery date is 05/27/2009 order created for the same. Manually we back out the date to 05/24/2009 so that the material availability date and loading date would also be changed to 05/24/2009 on the overview of the order under shipping dat.
How to achieve the functionality where the system will back the order up to show the u2018material availability dateu2019 and the u2018loading dateu2019 as the date that the carrier will be coming in to pick up the order ie On 05/24/2009 and material available in the customer warehouse on 05/27/2009.
If I can maintain the transit time as 2 days for the route determined (t code 0vtc) I can achieve this functionality. However I canu2019t maintain the lead time because we are not arranging the carrier, customer is arranging the carrier and that will be coming in to pick up the order.
Please advice.
Thanks.

Dear Gopi,
My sincere apologies for the delayed reply. I would like to reiterate my scenario.
Based on the information enter in the Idoc Sales orders are generated automatically. Let us assume requester delivery date has entered by the customer u2013 05/27/2009 if material is available, schedule lines are created for the requested delivery date and confirms the delivery date as 05/27/2009
As the confirmed delivery date is 05/27/2009, Material availability date and Loading date is also 05/27/2009(based on the config settings) u2013 These dates can view sales order overview screen under shipping tab.
In the scenario where the shipping conditions are PU u2013 Pick up, customer is arranging his own carrier to pick the goods.
As customer requested delivery date is 05/27/2009 on this date customer wants the goods in his warehouse. According to our system material availability date is 05/27/2009. If goods leave our premises on 05/27/2009 it would take X days more to reach customer. So customer is getting goods on 05/27/2009 + X days of Transit time, ultimately he is not getting goods based on requested delivery date.
In order to supply the goods on customer requested date, customer service rep has to manually back out the requested delivery date from 05/27/2009 to 05/24/2009 if material available, material availability date and loading date will be 04/27/2009. Customer can pick goods on 05/24/2009 so that goods will be in customer's warehouse based on the requested delivery date 05/27/2009.
We can achieve this functionality by giving the transit time as 2 days so that through backward scheduling system would automatically confirm the delivery date on 05/24/2009, material availabity date and loading availability date on 05/24/2009. However it is not advisable to maintain transit time for the route determined because we are not arranging the carrier, customer is arranging on his own.
Please advice a solution or a user exit to achieve this functionality without maintain the transit time and without manual manipulation how to back out the requested delivery date on the order.
Thanks.

Transportation lead,pick/pack & Transit time

Dear Friends,
After considering transpoartation lead time,pick/pack time,loading time & transit time system do confirm whether stock is available or not.....my doubt is whr do we maintain the above said times in the system?........

Hi saravanakumar
Transit time and Transportation lead time is taken from or maintained in Route
Loading time and pick/pack time comes from shipping point
You need to have clarity on backward scheduling and forward scheduling
For example you are creating a sales order today 15.02.2009 and the requested delivery date is 25.02.2009 from the customer side
Transit time is 2 Days
Transportaion planning time is 2 days
Loading time is 1 day
Pick/pack time is 1 day
Consider these settings
Now backward calculation System does a backward calculation first
25.02.2009 (requested delivery date) -- 2 days (transit days) -- 1 day (loading time) -- 2 days (transportation planning time) = that is on 20.02.2009 there should be enough stocks in the unrestricted stocks and system checks stocks for this day or date ,that is 20.02.2009 ,whether the stock is available enough
This date 20.02.2009 becomes the material available date
Note Transportaion planning time and Pick/pack time will run parallely and the higest of these two is considered for delivery scheduling so in our case Transportaion planning time is 2 days that is the highest and hence it is taken for calculation and not pick /pack time
If the system finds enough stocks on 20.02.2009 (that means it performs a availability check for 20.02.2009 depending on OVZ9 settings) that is material available date then it confirms schedule lines for that order this is backward
Same example order is registered today 15.02.2009 and if the customer wants stocks on 17.02.2009
This means 17.02.2009-2 days (transit days)-1 day(loading time)-2 days (transportation planning time) = 12.02.2009
The order registered date is 15.02.2009and the material availablity date is past 12.02.2009 or material available date goes to past.
This is illogical
This means backward is failing here and now forward calculation takes place
Forward calculation
If you have enough stocks today 15.02.2009 + 2 days transportation planning time+ 1 day loading time+2 days transit time = 20.02.2009
This means that is on 20.02.2009 the stocks can be confirmed for this order as against a requested delivery date of 17.02.2009
In forward the system will give 2 schedule lines first that is requested delivery date that is 17.02.2009(in our case) with ZERO qty and the second date as 20.02.2009 with full qty
In backward you will find only one date in the schedule lines which is the same as requeted delivery date that is 25.02.2009 in our case
Hope i made things little bit clear to you
Transit and transporatation planning will come from route if route is maintained otherewise it is taken as 0 days
Loading and pick pack time will be maintained in shipping pt if not maintained also then it is taken as 0 days (in enterprise structure logistice execution and your shipping point details it is maintained)

How do you set a calendar alarm for a specific time on the day of the event without it being an all-day event

Does anyone know how to set a calendar alert at a specific time on the day of the event.
So that the alert date adjusts accordingly if you were to copy and past it to another date.
The custom alert function kind of does this, but because it is an absolute alert (not relative) it will still refer to the date you initially set it to when you copy and paste it to another date. So this creates more work where you would have to go and manually change all the custom alerts. I have potential
Anyone know how to set this kind of calendar alert?
Thanks in advance

Greetings: Set the alarm to message you (on your screen) and then snooze it every day for 15 days, or, set 15 separate alarm messages. There is probably an AppleScript somewhere on the web too, try searching that way as well.

How can I hide the time of the day in calendar events in OS 10.9?

How can I hide the time of the day in calendar events in OS 10.9?

Currently, the order in which the phone numbers appear (in a contact) is dependent on the sequence to which you enter them. There is no way to change that order other than re-entering them in the desired order.

Change calendar day start time?

Is it possible to change the starting time of the day on my iCloud calendar? I mean, I don't want my iCloud calendar to open up showing 12 midnight at the top, I want it to start at 8A. I am unable to find anything in settings to do it, nor can I find this question asked in Help forums more recently than 2012.
Even when I change it to show 12 hours or 24 hours, it still has 12 Midnight at the top. I don't want that, I don't plan anything at midnight.
I'm using:
iPhone 5S
iOS 8.1.3
iCloud v 4.0.2
Desktop: Windows 7 Ultimate
TIA,
Audrey

I hope I'm not asking for the impossible, I hope there is a way to do this. Please let me know if you know how!
Thanks again.

Where to go to see Lead Time settings? Calendar days vs working days

Hi everybody,
II'm trying to find the screen where details regarding Lead Time settings are shown. I'm looking specifically for information on the type of days we're using to identify Processing LT's. I'm not certain whether we're using calendar days or working days.
I'm sure there is a simple way of finding this information out, but just don't know where to look/change the setting.
Thanks,
BG

This is NOT a setting that you can view.
Oracle always behaves like this.
Best way to verify this is to create an item with PreLt=5, Processing LT=7 and Post-processing lt=5.
Then create a sales order with a due date of say 9/21. Make sure 9/1 to 9/21 is regular 5 days week.
Assuming no holidays, it will mean that you need material on the dock on 9/15 (5 days of PPLT = 7 calendar days.)
So when MRP/ASCP creates a Req/PO, the promised date will be 9/15.
Also, the Days from today will point to 9/1 - which includes 7 days of processing + 7 days of preprocessing (5 working days)
Hope this answers your quesiton.

AE: Calendar Days for Escalation times

When setting escalation times in AE, the tool doesn't recognize holidays or calendar days. Therefore, if we shut down for an extended period of time during a holiday, the request will automatically go the secondary approval. Does anyone have a workaround for this? Is the plan to disable the escalation times during major holidays? What happens in the event the holiday is nation specific?

Hi Neal,
to my knowledge, there's no workaround yet.
We have the same problem with having an escalation time of 3 days, but over weekends this will reduce to only one.
Did you open an OSS to SAP on this?

Daniela

Use the Transit Times of route stages ?

Hello. I would like to now if I somehow can use the transit time of the route stages instead of the header route transit time to reflect correct ATP. Current SAP is 4.7.
Business Scenario behind my request is mainly for Ocean Liner Shipments:
For Liner shipments most of the times there are fixed sailing Days ( i.e. every Friday ).
Here I use a route with two stages:
Shipping point to port of depature
Port of depature to final destination port.
As a possible solution I thought to use a Transportation connection point in between which should reflect the waiting time at the port having a factory calendar behind. But during first testing I recognized that any time specific date in the route stages are not take into calculation when creating a sales order ?
Help please !
Thanks
Joerg

I think the sales order picks up the time and dates from header of the route and applies stages and leg determination during shipment creation depending upon your shipment doc. type settings, hence, I think doesnt add stage values during order creation.
If I understand the problem right, perhaps a user exit or something can help you get the days to next Friday to add to the transportation lead time and get to the right dates. Check if this idea can help.

Transit Time

Hi,
A sales order is created on 06/10/2010 and the requested delivery date was entered as 18/10/2010. The sales order has 3 line items and all were confirmed for 18/10/2010. The route has a 1 day lead time. If I go to schedule line and view the shipping page for all 3 items, the delivery date is shown correclty as 18/10/2010. But rest all dates (Goods issue date, Loading date, Material avail.date and Transportation Plan. Date) is showing as 16/10/2010. Why there is a difference of 2 days b/w the GI date and Delivery date when the route has a lead time of only 1 day? The pick/pack, loading etc would have been already considered while determining the GI date itself wright? Is there any other time factor other than the transit time to determine the delivery date?
Regards,
Raghav

Hi,
17/10/2010 is Sunday. Do you ship on Sunday ? If you would like to have goods available on MOnday and you have 1 day transit time, then they would need to leave your DC on Sunday.
Please verify:
1) shipping point definition and specifically factory calendar inside shipping point.
2) route definition - there is possibility to enter factory calendar inside the route.
Change the calendar to something having 7 working days and retest.
Best regards

Calendar Day format (Xcelsius dash with LO prompts connected to SAP-BW)

Hi guys.
I built a dashboard using Xcelsius 2008 with a few LiveOffice prompts. Some are optional and these don't cause any issues, the only one causing problems is one of the two compulsory ones (the other is related to Calendar Month).
The BW query connected to the universe on which the WebI query have been built has two variable selections: the first on Calendar Month, the second on Calendar Day. I haven't been able to find a way to pass Calendar Day data to the query.
When I launch it from WebIntelligence, I select the value from a "calendar". This is the way it is displayed: "dd/mm/yyyy hh:mm:ss AM". When I select a value from this calendar and I launch the query, results are displayed in the proper way.
I added the query to an Excel file that I've subsequently imported into Xcelsius. As I said before every other prompt works perfectly, the only one not working is the Calendar Day prompt. I tried passing this date in several ways, but I receive the message "Invalid format (LO 26000)".
These ways include:
- dd/mm/yyyy [0CALDAY].[AAAAMMDD]
- dd.mm.yyyy
- dd/mm/yyyy
- yyyymmdd
- ddmmyyyy
Did anyone have ideas on how to pass these data in a proper way to the LO prompt from Xcelsius?
Thanks a lot.

Hi Kevin, we decided to scrap the "Calendar Day" use because we didn't find a solution to pass the data from Xcelsius to BW.
There's still an issue. This seemed to work before but now it's not working anymore. We also have a Calendar Month variable. When Live Office creates a prompt on the Excel document, the variable is displayed like this (for instance, NOV 2009 [0CALMONTH].[200911]).
To avoid problems with keys, I've also created a separate query containing a Month list of values and the string to be passed to BW is created putting together the informal name (NOV 2009) and the unique name ( [CALMONTH].[200911]). When I insert this time prompt in the Xcelsius document, I receive the LO26315 message. If I remove it (I've got other six prompts, none of them related to a date), everything works fine.
Anyone ever had to pass a similar value from Xcelsius to BW?
