How ist the LIKP-KODAT calculated?

[jrgkraus]

Hi to all,

I am wondering about the picking date (LIKP-KODAT) in one of the outbound deliveries in our system (ERP 6.0). It is set to february 13, while the MBDAT in the unique item of the document is feb 16. The delivery was created on feb 17. The documentation about LIKP-KODAT says that the lowest value of MBDAT, regarding all items, is relevant for KODAT. I found coding which is doing this in FV50KFLK_LIKP_KODAT_ERMITTELN, but after that there is much additional stuff. Does anyone know, how the KODAT really is being calculated?

Thanks to all

Hi Jorg,

This LIKP - KODAT is nothing but planned picking date. This will be calculated as per availabity check of the material, So that material should reach the customer place as per shedule line date.

If you really need the Actual Picking date... go to VBFA table Give your delivery number as proceeding document and get the picking request with Subs. Doc. cate as "Q" and get the created on date (ERDAT) for that document.

Hi,

This works as below :

Backward scheduling :

Backward scheduling is the calculation of deadline dates: the arrival time at the customer site is calculated as the earliest possible goods receipt time at the customers unloading point on the requested delivery date. All four of the delivery and transportation scheduling lead times are subtracted from the customeru2019s requested delivery date to determine if this date can be met. The transit time, loading time, and pick/pack time are subtracted from the customeru2019s requested delivery date to calculate the required material availability date

The system calculates backward scheduling as follows:

Requested delivery date minus transit time = Goods issue date

Goods issue date minus loading time = Loading date

Loading date minus transportation lead time = Transportation scheduling date

Loading date minus pick/pack time = Material availability date

Forward scheduling

Forwarding scheduling is carried out if no product is available on the material availability date calculated by backward scheduling. The system does an availability check to determine the first possible date when product will be available. This new material availability date forms the starting point for scheduling the remaining activities. The loading time, pick/pack time, transit time, and transportation lead time are added to the new material availability date to calculate the confirmed delivery date.

Systems always go for backward scheduling if not then goes with forward scheduling.

Guess this solves various doubts.........

Hello Vamshi,

thanks for your explanation. This describes perfectly, how the material availability date is being calculated. But my question was:

why is the LIKP-KODAT different from the material availability date? In my delivery note I see feb 16 as material availability date (there is only one item) and feb 13 as LIKP-KODAT. According to your explanation the KODAT should also be feb 16 shouldn't it?

Best regards

Joerg
