REGARDING SCHEDULE LINE

[Former Member]

Dear SAP Guru's

Please tell me from where does the system takes the schedule line confirmation date.

Scenerio:

My sales order is having two item one is Main item and the other is the child part of the same .

When a order is made back dated then the system takes the back date for the main item schedule line.

But Child item schedule line takes the present date as the delivery date.

In My company there is no scheduling agreements as it is a pharma company and the end product we deliver is the result of the diagnostic test.

Please help in this regard,

Dear Amlan,

When a Sales Order is created, System does backward scheduling. In Backward Scheduling, the starting point of calculation is Customer Requested Delivery Date & goes backward upto Material Availability date & if stock available on that date, then it confirms the schedule line accordingly. But if the Material Availability Date falls after the Customer Expected Delivery Date, in that case system does forward scheduling & in which it starts the calculation from material availability date & proposes a date on which the material is expected to be available to customer.

The above is an overview for arriving to schedule line date.
