Material Staging date and Committed Date

Deal all,

At the outset,Wish you a very happy new year.

As per my understanding the material staging date should always be equal to Committed date in the Delivery schedule of the PO. Also the pick date in the delivery would be the staging date of the PO.

In which scenario, the staging date could differ to the committed date? What may be the reasons to have different staging and committed date in PO?

Appreciate your speedy responce.
