Factory Calender in Sales order with future Delivery Date Issue

[Former Member]

Hi all,

I have issue at time of creating sales order system is not taking account any holiday as mention in holiday / factory calender , I am using standard US calender.

for example

I created sales order on today ... But I change the request delivery date as 05/30/2011 its conforming sales order schedule line line on 05/30/2011, but as per holiday / factory calender 05/30/2011 mention as a holiday, still while creating sales order system is conforming schedule line on holiday.

Can any one guide me its standard SAP behavior because i am created sales order with future delivery date or because of posing period open for one month or I missed any config setting.

I assign factory calender at Plant and sales organization and Shipping point, In calender i mention i can see the date mark as a holiday.

can any one guide me what could be issue

Hi Nishad

Kindly check the factory calendar holiday list maintained. For Example , if on date 01/01/2011 is holiday as per the factory calendar but in the factory calendar on date 01/01/2011 holiday is not checked then you will be getting the delivery date as date 01/01/2011. Also make sure that for plant factory calendar also on date 01/01/2011 it is marked as holiday

If the provided data is correct in your assignment then the issue should be solved

Thanks and Regards

Hi Srinath,

Holiday is maintain in Public holiday let say XXYYY and same holiday XXYY assign to Holiday calender and Holiday calender got assign to factory calender.

Note : If i am creating sales order current date let say 12/31/2010 and holiday is current date as per calender 12/31/2010 then its working fine, its giving schedule line on next date 01/01/2011.

For example if i am creating sales order today / current date but i am giving request delivery date as 05/30/2011 as per calender its mark as Holiday.. in that case system is not checking factory calender and its conforming sales order.

If possible you can replicate same issue with client or any other system .

Dear Nishbad

Firstly, the "Requirement" has to be clearly defined.

Then, we have to check, if the "requirement" is logical & makes sense or not.

If still problem exists, we have to convince the client & make them understand patiently, why it is not possible.

Still further, there is an option of contacting SAP AG for help, & may be yes, as you said, bugs..,, they make come out with a new SAP Notes.

Happy New Year.... Nishbad

It might due to program error.

Check whether you can implement OSS Note 650585 - No check of the requested delivery date in VA01. This note applies to version 4.6c and 4.7.

Dear Mr.Ram

I've check the OSS Notes # 650585, as mentioned by you.

Does the system NOT confirm the goods on that date?

The notes mention that, only an information is popped up.

The exact requirement is ( if I am not wrong), system should NOT confirm on that data.

Nishbad: Please correct me, if I am wrong.

hi

please goto SCAL and check whether holiday calendar has been defined and assigned to US calendar.

and check the check boxes on days in the same calendar.

check the same for sales organisation calendar ; plant cleandar ; shipping point calendar & route claendar - if route determination happens automatically.

please check & confirm the same.

Hello

Is it marked as a 'holiday' for the customer? Thats important.

If I am not wrong, it should be marked as a holiday in the customer's calender & assign it in Customer master record.

Pls revert with your feedback

Hi Sumanth,

I am not aware of customer customer's calender & assign it in Customer master record, as per my knowledge the only factory calender need to assign to shipping point / plant / sales organization, the factory calender consists of holiday calender / list of holiday during particular year, and same factory calender need to assign to customer master at unloading point level,

Sumanth if i am wrong pls correct me and let me know where we need to config and customer's calender & assign it in Customer master record at which view.

waiting for your replay

Dear Nishbad

The following is the path

IMG->SALES AND DISTRIBUTION -> MASTER DATA -> BUSINESS

PARTNER -> CUSTOMER -> SHIPPING -> DEFINE CALENDERS.

Define public holidays, holiday calender & assign it to factory calender.

Factory calender concept can also be used for 'periodic biliing' (payer)

In this case, we assign the Factory calender to the Customer master of the Payer in the Sale area data > Billing document tab , in the "Invoicing date" field.

Yes you can assign Factory Calender to Customer . Go to XD02, input the customer code and execute. There select Unloading Points tab in General Data where you can see a field Calender Key.

Factory calender is also used at customer level for maintaining good receiving hours and to maintain billing

Hope I am helpful

As per your suggestion i did every thing,but at the time of sales order creating its giving only information message

No goods accepted on 05/30/2011. The next possible date is: 05/31/2011, But still its not changing schedule line item on 05/31/2011its conforming 05/30/2011 it self and i am able to create delivery and PGI and Billing

Hi

I am using single calender for all areas, example - Sales org level - US factory calender, Plant level US factory calender, shipping point level - US factory calender,

Do we need to assign individual or sperate factory calender

Hi,

You just need to configure one calender for all organisational elements......However, customer calender may vary, you may need to create a separate calender, if required. When you create a sales order, first, the calender assigned to the organisational elements would be checked and later for customer calender. I believe you are having an issue with organisational calender (your US calender).

Pls give me sometime, i will try and get back to u on this positively.

Dear Nishbad

That requirement is "VAGUE".

So what, if the goods confirmed date is customer's holiday?

The goods NEED NOT reach the customer on a holiday, right....?

You can go ahead with the process & convince the client.

assign marks, if helpful

HI all,

my client is asking simple question, in holiday/ Factory mark as a holiday, while creating sales order why its conforming same day,

SAP system is behaving not correctly, if current day is holiday day and current day i am creating sales order then only system is calender is working fine,

for example

in calender i mention as today is holiday - 12/31/2010 and same day i am creating sales order then its going for 01/01/2011, its not problem with single client system , its behaving all SAP system,

If possibles please create a order in your client system today and change the request delivery date on holiday and check the schedule line at item level , its conforming on holiday .. and try to create a delivery on future date .. system is allowing every thing .. this wrong.

any one having any idea .. how to stop this

Dear Nishbad

The system is behaving CORRECTLY.

The SAP System is the result of 30 years of extensive hardwork & analysis on the business models of Fortune 500 companies on the earth.

Let the system confirm on a holiday (customer's).Its NOT necessary that the same customer will receive the goods on the same holiday.

Clients DONT use their head. We have to use our's for them.

Hi Sumanth,

Based on which parameter you are saying .. its working correctly, i do agree The SAP System is the result of 30 years of extensive hard work & analysis on the business models of Fortune 500 companies on the earth.

Regarding Clients DONT use their head. We have to use our's for them,

I Don"t agree with this point, its there business they are running form past many years, its there requirement if we can full fill they requirement, using our great heads, if not possible we can say its not possible.

Hi Sumanth,

assign marks, if helpful

marks for those, who spent their time on this?

Gone are the days of asking for points in SDN. Now the forums are strictly moderated and the moderators are keeping a constant vigil to ensure that members follow the rules of engagement. Being a member for more than two years, you migh have noticed the changes in SCN.

 Clients DONT use their head

It is very unfortunate to see such comments. There is nothing like a standard business process and we should not rule out the possibility of any kind of business process. Everything is possible in this world. To give you an example, one of my clientsu2019 business processes is likeu2026 first create a release/sales order and it automatically creates a contract (in the background) also. Afterwards when another release/sales order is created it automatically updates the existing contract with the details of the materials and the quantities. This is quite different from the normal business process.

The IT team of that client is very very knowledgeable both in the business process as well as SAP (functionalities, configurations, enhancements etc) and many of them are certified also. They were picked from the business team, trained on SAP and working in managing SAP system.

Please do not generalize based on your own experiences.

Dear Mr.Shankar

Yes, That's a mistake on my part.

Please accept my apologies.

Point noted.

I should not have generalized.

By the by, Mr.Shankar, can you pls tell how the model/process of your client, was mapped into SAP?
