System does not propose the delivery date based on factory calendar

[Former Member]

Hi,

I am creating a sales order for a delivery date for this sat which is (2/22/09)

I have maintained 2 separate calendars for

1) shipping point

2) for the route

The route has a transit time of 1 day and the calendar has sat and sunday as non working.

the Shipping point has a pick/pack time of 1 day and the calendar has sat and sunday as non working

The material is available in the warehouse

Now when i create this sales order i enter the delivery date as 2/22/09, the system does not propose me the delivery date of monday (i.e 2/23/09) It accepts the 2/22/09 delivery date.

In the schedule line i do see the date as 2/22/09 only.

The delivery was created with the following dates

Picking = 2/17/09

Transportation Planning = 02/18/2009

Loading =02/18/2009

Planned GI= 02/18/2009

Delivery Date = 02/22/2009

How can the system give me the delivery date of a sunday when the calendar doesnt allow sunday as working day.

Also the route time is 1 day in transit so i am not sure why the system is proposing a 3 day transit time?

Can any one explain the behaviour of SAP for the delivery date logic

Dspsac,

Delivery date can be any date. For instance, if your customer insisted on a Sunday delivery, you would accommodate him, regardless of any calendar.

From the delivery date, the system counts backwards USING THE FACTORY CALENDAR ASSIGNED TO THE ROUTE by the number of days in the route. You have to consult the FC assigned to your Route to determine if the GI date has been properly calculated.

From the GI date, the system counts backward Pick/pack time, using the shipping point calendar, to arrive at Material availability date.

Calculations are explained in SAP online help
