Delivery date equals Creation date in PO (?)

[Former Member]

Hello,

I have a Purchase order (PO) created for this material with purchase requisition in which I get the delivery date for a line item same as the Creation date of the PO. Though the parameters like planned delivery time and GR processing time are maintained in material master, instead of adding this time, system saves this PO item with date on which PO got created.

Please help me in making understand why should this occur.

I have another problem too . I use Me59n to automatic PO, the delivery date in PO will copy from PR. If I want to use ME59n to automatic PO but I don't want the delivery date copy from PR and want it to be system-date of PO created + plan delivery time. Can I do that and how to do?

Hi,

Have you maintained InfoRecord for this material/vendor? (ME11 tcode)

In INFORECORD, in 'Purchasing Organisation data 1' tab there is a field 'Plnd dely time' (Planned delivery time in days).

This data is taken into account while creating PO.

maybe it solves your problem.

Maintain Info record and feed PDT,GR processing time and net price for the same.

Maintain Source list also for the same.

how was the requisition created? thru MRP run or manually.

The delivery date is copied from PR to PO. SAP will not add the planned delivery from material master to the PO.

Requisition from MRP run will take the planned delivery time from material master.

In manual PR creation (ME51N) SAP will propose the delivery date taking the delivery time from material master into consideration when you enter material number, plant number , quantity and then hit enter.

Delivery date on PR is not matching with the one on PO. The PR was created by MRP. later tit was deleted manually and the release date was changed in PR manually.

However when I see the changes for that item in PO, it does not show anything related to PO delivery date change for this item. It now differes from the one in PR.

Where things must have gone wrong. I think it is MRP run, but not so sure.

Please help.

you are saying that the MRP created PR got deleted.

So how did you create the PO? with reference to the deleted PR? or without referencing a PR?

If the date in the manual created PO will not match AND you have not any change document, then the user entered this delviery date manually while creating the PO. and once this done SAP will not overwrite this date again because of material master planned delivery time.

I was not clear in my previous post, sorry. The PO was deleted manually. The PR is still existing in the system. The delivery date in PR is right (it includes the Planned delivery and GR processing times). The release date got changed (to 1 day before) in PR, that's the only change seen in PR and its not manually changed.

My worry is the delivery date in PR (created by MRP) is not matching with the one in PO. If the user had changed it in PO, I should've got the change log, but it is not seen, I see just deletion log for this PO item.

Please help.

If you overwrite the delivery date that was copied from PR to PO when creating the PO before saving, then this is not considered as a document change. Hence you cannot see this in any change document.

But you identified already that it was changed, as it is not equal to the PRs delivery date.

I doubt, because the PO was created by a batch job and there is no room for manual change in this. Whatever change done after this must have been tracked. But as the changes are not tracked, I think the batch job that creates PO from PR must be responsible for this difference. But the problem still I'm facing is what must have went wrong.

Moreover for other line items it looks fine, it's only for this particular material this difference occured.

Have you checked whether the delivery time in the material master has been changed recently?

[Former Member]

I did check that thing in Material master as well as Info record but nothing relevant is changed in recent period.

created by batch job........do you mean ME59N or anything else?

[Former Member]

Right, it is ME59. However now I'm keen on looking into this Purchase requisition changes during planning run which might have caused this. I'm not sure but trying to find it out.

Please let me know any suggestions from your side.

Hi,

Take the help of message type. I hope you are getting some warning message chege the message type to error by using the following path

SPRO-- MM -- Purcasing -- enviornment data -- system messages

regards

[Former Member]

No, no, system does save this PO without warning or error, as I said earlier in my question. I want to know why the delivery date comes same as the PO creation date for this material.

There are no messages during saving as this happens in background with batch job.

Thanks in advance,

Amit G
