[former_member332160]

Hello Expert,

We we create purchase requisition in SAPAPO/RRP3 as shown in below screen shot-

What does start date 07.01.2016 indicates.

One more thing when we double click on purchase requisition-

Can any body help on this?

If you have a T-lane for external procurement, the start date represents only the transit time.

Hello,

Press F1 on each of these fields and you will find the SAP documentation about each of them.

The start date is the delivery date - PDT (planned delivery date).

The opening date is calculated by deducting also the opening period (in case it is defined).This means:

Opening date = delivery date - PDT - opening period.

Kind Regards,

Mariano

Thanks for your input.

i pressed F1 but not able to understand that.

If i press F1 on start date below messgae displayed:-

"This is the day and time on which an order starts.

The meaning of the order start date depends on the type of receipt element or requirements element. For example, for a receipt element for in-house production (planned order or production order), the order start date is the start date of the first activity"

If i press on End Date- then got below meesage:-

This is the day and time on which an order ends.

The meaning of the order end date depends on the category of the receipt element or the requirements element. For example, for a receipt element for in-house production (planned order or production order), the order end date is the end date of the last activity.

If i press F1 on Opening date there was no message displayed.

Can you explain in simple way what does excatly means of these dates. how Start date of order gets calculated?

Hi Jeet,

Opening Date = Delivery Date - Planned Delivery Time - Opening Period.

The Opening Period can be defined in the Product Master, PP/DS tab.

The Opening Date more or less defines the date in which the PurRqs should be converted into PchOrd.

For example, in /SAPAPO/RRP7 transaction, the system will select orders with opening date <= current date for conversion.

You can check F1 help on Product Master and /SAPAPO/RRP7 fields for more details.

Regards,

Tiago
