Hi,
We are on SAP 4.7 version.
My requirement is to have delivery create date (i.e. schedule line date) to be based on certain specific days of the week. For example one customer picks up their goods on Wednesdays only. I want all deliveries due before wednesday to be created on wednesday. These days are specific by customer. I therefore cannot set up shipping point calendars.
How can this be achieved ?
I tried, Unloading points -- calendar assignment in customer master. It does not help is determining the schedule line date. I only get a warning message saying "customer will accept delivery on dd/mm/yyyy".
Any suggestions are highly appreciated.
Regards,
Ron
Hi,
You should be able to do it via route scheduling - I haven't used it myself yet, but see an extract below from SAP Help about Route Scheduling. In Route Scheduling you can specify by customer what dates and times the customer can receive a shipment. The system does backward scheduling based on the date and time that the customer can receive the shipment, and the delivery creation date should be based on the route schedule. The key is to ensure that the route schedule is used to determine the delivery creation date. Like i said, i havent done this before, but it is worth investigating.

Processing a Route Schedule
Implementation Options
Wholesale trade customers and stores can receive goods at regular intervals. These delivery rhythms have an influence on the workload in the warehouse. To help delivery planning, the route schedule serves as a tool for planning regular, repetitive customer deliveries on a particular route. At the time of planning, potential deliveries that have not yet been created are grouped in the route schedule. When the deliveries are created, the system can automatically determine a route schedule and assign it to the delivery. All deliveries with the same route schedule and the same date can be processed together in the shipping point. All these deliveries leave the shipping point together at a particular time. They are distributed along the same geographical route.
· Deliveries for route schedule MO10H leave the shipping on Mondays at 10:00 in the direction of Philadelphia.
· Deliveries for route schedule MO10M leave the shipping point on Mondays at 10:00 in the direction of Boston.
· Deliveries for route schedule MO10S leave the shipping point on Mondays at 10:00 in the direction of New York.
You can print picking lists for all deliveries that belong to route schedules MO10H - MO10S together.
Maintenance of the itinerary should be uniform for all the route schedules used. To ensure exact planning, maintain the itinerary for all the route schedules. If rough planning is sufficient in this case, you do not need to maintain the itinerary for a route schedule.
If you do not define any goods accepted times in the customer master for the unloading points of the ship-to party, the system assumes that the goods acceptance is possible at any time. The system determines the delivery time from the departure time in the route schedule plus the required traveling time to the ship-to party, as set in the itinerary (specific move time). This delivery time must be within the goods acceptance time of the unloading point of the ship-to party. If not, the respective route schedule is not determined during delivery creation.
For more information on route schedules, refer to the Implementation Guide (IMG) under Route Schedules.

Using Route Schedule or creating new shipping point with customer specific calendars are the 2 options which can be used to achieve this.

In the order type , set the proposed delivery date customizing and mention the lead time for the same. The customer delivery date will be determined from the configuration.

Hi,
In the customer master data, set the client calender so that the billing wil be generated with respect to the customer calender.
Thanks
