Hi friends,

When we create sales order,

as we know using backword scheduling first system checks stock. If stock doesnt exist, forward sceduling is carried out to find out the next material availability date & Delivery date.

Could somebody explain in detail from where these dates are determined.? Eg. Delivery date

Goods issue date

Loading date

Material avail.date

Transportation Plan. Date

What are configuration setting required from SD sides?

Please share your knowledge on above scenario.

THEN I WNAT TO KNOW ABOUT ONE THING IN THE ABOVE QUESTION

SPECIFICALLY

THAT IS

1).CAN I HAVE SALES ORDER DATE, DELIVERY DATE AND BILLING DATE AND PRICING DATE AS SAME DAY

I KNOW THAT IT IS POSSIBLE.

BUT WHERE IN CUSTOMIZING SETTINGS IN R/3.

IF ANY BODY KNOW HELP ME PLZ.

2.

MY SECOND QUESTION IS

VERY SIMPLE.

IF MATERIAL ORDERED IS AVAILABLE BUT ONLY HALF IS AVAILABLE.

THEN FROM SALES ORDER SCREEN IT HAS TO GO TO AVAILABILITY CHECK OVER VIEW SCREEN THAT THE MATERIAL ORDERED BY YOU WILL BE AVAILABLE WITH IN THIS DATE.

3.

IT HAS TO SHOW THE LIST OF PLANTS IN WHICH STOCK IS AVAILBLE FOR DELIVERY FROM AVAILABILITY CHECK OVER VIEW SCREEN.

For ur first question.

u want these dates are same do this config settings,

1. For sales order date will be the system date for that no config settings are required.

2.For delivery date:dont maintain any value in the field "lead time in days" in vov8 tcode for that doc type and dont do any Avaliability check settings, then the delivery date will be the current date as sales order date.

3.For billing date: suppose if u complete the invoice on the sales order date system defaultly picks the date of the sales order date.

for second question.

this will be done automatically by the system if u maintain avaliablity check settings

for third problem.

in avaliabity screen click on other plant the it possible to see the materails avaliabitlity in other plants also.

if it helps reward me.

Hi,

This is done through TOR & Availability Check. There is a good material for this on this site itself refer to that. If u r not able to understand tht then come back again on same.

Regarding ur 1st question, if the material is ready then all the dats can be same but it will depend on the scenario. Again as this is done by TOR & Availability check.

Regarding ur 2nd question, if it is half available then in schedule line accordingly it will get split as per the confirmation of availability of goods on tht date.

Regarding ur 3rd question, u can check the stock from mmbe tcode in which plant which material is available.

Hope my answers are satisfying, dont forget to reward with points.

If u r not satisfied revert.

Hi Balaji,

Backward scheduling or Forward scheduling is done based on your the requested deliery date in the sales order. you can configure requested delivery date from VOV8. (it can also be manually changed while creating an order.)

Therefore when you create an order giving the requested delivery date, system takes into account the following times –

a. Transit Time +

b. Loading Time +

c. Pick/Pack Time +

d. Transportation Lead/Planning Time.

The loading time and pick/pack time come from the shipping point whereas the transit time and transportation lead time come from the route.

These timings are configured in Logistics Execution. Depending on these times.........the system gives you an expected delivery date. That is it does backward scheduling if the material is available or Forward scheduling in case the material cannot be delivered on the requested delivery date.

Your sales order date, delivery date, billing date and pricing date can be the same only in the case of CASH SALES or RUSH ORDER SALES. in any normal business scenario, you cannot have all four dates as same as there will be a delivery involved from the warehouse to the customer, in other words there will be a transit time involved.

Question 2

if you configure ATP logic, the system will take you to the future stock availability screen.

Question 3

There is no automatic way of transferring displaying stocks in all the plants during sales order creation if the material is not available in one plant.

The only way is to manually check the stocks for that particular material through T-code: MMBE in all the available plants and manually change the delivery plant at the order level during creation.

REWARD PONTS IF HELPFUL

hello, friend.

i will try to answer your questions simply...

1. in VOV8, select your order type. inside the order type, you can find settings for the proposal of the pricing date, the requested delivery date and the PO date. these can all be overwritten in the sales order.

2. if you want to know when the material is available, you can go to the schedule line tabs, or click on the availability check button at the bottom of the sales order screen. you go to the shipping tabs for the other shipping related dates.

3. if you want to know the inventory per plant, you have to enter the plant in the item then go to ENVIRONMENT > AVAILABILITY.

hope this helped you.

regards.
