Hi Experts,
Please advise me for the below query.
How schedule lines are confirmed for standard IPO order? That after PR gets created automatically
Let us take an order (one of my clients) in the S4 system.
I wanted to learn what are the parameters that the system is considering to confirm schedule lines: Requested Delivery Date (03/02/2020) - Order creation date (10/19/2020) = 134 days (in the above scenario)
Below are my findings (in my client's system)
1. In my sales order type, Lead Time in Days = 0
2. MARC -> Material/Plant combination = RLT in Calendar Days = 0
3. OVXD (shipping point) -> ES04 = 5 (working days)
4. I then checked MARC entries for that material
5. Also checked this
Now, the same configuration and master data setup is in the Quality system. When I created an order today in the Quality system, putting the Requested Delivery Date (as 03/02/2021), the schedule lines do not confirm quantity and therefore no PR got created. I even tried putting the Requested Delivery Date (as 03/02/2022), still schedule lines do NOT get confirmed.
Please assist me in understanding how does availability check work for standard IPO order?

Hi Experts,
Finally, I myself tested and came to a conclusion (laughs). Could you please validate my conclusion?
Please let me first explain the parameters to consider to reach the confirmed schedule line date:
1. Loading Time (in days), which are maintained in the shipping point (TCode - OVXD)
2. Pick Pack time (in days), which are maintained in the shipping point (TCode - OVXD)
3. GR Processing Time (in days), which is maintained in Article master (MRP2)
4. Planned delivery time (in days), which is maintained in Article master (MRP2)
Note: MRP3 fields will be considered if the scenario is in-house production.
5. Transit Time (if route is configured)
6. Transportation Lead Time (if route is configured)
7. Factory Calendar (with Holidays Calendar) assigned to shipping point (OVXD) and the plant (T001W) should be considered.
Current QE1 settings:
1. Loading time = 0 days
2. Pick pack time = 5 days
3. GR Processing Time = 2 days
4. Planned delivery time = 0 days
5. Transit Time, No route configured (activated), so ignoring it
6. Transportation Lead Time, No route configured (activated), so ignoring it
7. Factory Calendar XX assigned to Shipping point & Plant. Holiday calendar YY assigned to the factory calendar XX. So as per this holiday calendar - Sat, Sun & Public holiday (country specific) should be excused to reach confirmed schedule lines date.
So I could see only 7 days (Pick pack time + GR Processing Time) + Holidays (Sat + Sun + but no public holiday during this period) to consider "confirmed schedule line date".
Testing in QE1:
-> Created the sales order (1234567890) today (10-26-2020). So Requested Delivery date = 10-26-2020 (this is because of the existing settings, order type ZOR has RTL = 0).
-> Schedule line is getting confirmed on 11-04-2020
-> So this is taking exactly 7 days (excluding Sat + Sun).

Queries to Experts:
1. Please validate my assumptions.
2. And should I still test with multiple customers (particularly, ship-to’s from different regions) to confirm my conclusion?
The next day, I tested and found it is the same logic even if the ship-to is from different locations.
Therefore, I am closing this ticket.
