Transportation plan date calculated in VA01

[Former Member]

Hi Expert,

The business wants to deliver all goods existing on a sales order togheter even if we have different good issue dates per schedule lines, probably caused by the fact both sales order lines have different routes. Therefore the material, loading and transportation plan dates will also be different for each schedule line. I understand the system will split this sales order into more than one delivery, because the route is taking into account in the delivery split functionality. This is OK. On the other hand, I would like the system to show in VL10H all sales order lines form that sales order. This is possible to be done if the transportation plan dates from each confimed schedule line are the same, because VL10H takes into account the transportation plan date to show the sales order to be delivered. My question is, would it be possible to align the transportation plan date in both schedules lines via customizing or should I have to put on an EXIT? I have already tried via "Define Scheduling by sales order type", but not succesfull.

Thanks Marcelo.

See example below:

Line 10

Req. Del. Date: 19.03.2008

GI date: 05.03.2008

Loading date: 05.03.2008

Mat.AV.date: 05.03.2008

Transp.plan.date: 03.03.2008

Route: TNLN10

Line 20

Req. Del. Date: 19.03.2008

GI date: 04.03.2008

Loading date: 04.03.2008

Mat.AV.date:04.03.2008

Transp.plan.date: 03.03.2008

Route: TNLN11

Hi Marcelo,

In most general scenario, to have complete delivery we use ship complete flag at header level. This will deliver units together for all line items. There is also one ship complete flag at item level in sales A/B screen. I have also been researching on this and i think this also can be used to ship complete some items of sales orders and not all items.

But you want to have transp planning date same but diff routes, then doing through standard SAP is difficult. This will involve major changes to availability checks. I think wiser and easier option is to touch user exit at save document level. This will help to trigger this check at VA01/02 level.

Also please do consider the rescheduling runs effect when such changes are designed.

If this has helped some way to go closer to answer, please do reward me points.

Kind Regards
