Purchase order item delivery dates

[former_member290493]

I have come across an issue relating to factory calendar and scheduled delivery dates in POs.  Production at the factory operates 24/7, so the plant calendar is set up with 7 working days per week .  Goods Inwards for receipt of purchased items operates Monday to Friday only.  Because MM-PUR uses the factory calendar PO items are being scheduled for delivery on a Saturday and Sunday.  I cannot see anywhere where I could modify this behaviour so that deliveries are scheduled using a 5 work days calendar.  Can anybody help please?

I dont see any other chance than controlling the PO with a userexit or BADI, send a warning or error message to the user and ask for a manual change on the proposed delivery date if it falls on a non-working day.

the factory calendar is assigned to the plant, there is no differentiation between production, warehouse and procurement. the calendar is valid for all. if production works on classical non-working days, but warehouse and procurement not, then you have an issue.  And I dont see any other way than checking and changing the delivery dates in PO creation process.

Which means you need an extra calendar which covers the needs  and you need to check hardcoded against this extra calendar.

Thank you Jurgen, I was thinking it would have to be something like this.  I may look at using a Z table to assign calendar to purchasing org, rather than hard code it.

Hi Olga,

you can check your factory calendar in tcode SCAL. Also check MD26 to make changes in the planning calendar.

Let us know once you have checked the settings.

Hi Anoop, as per above,  the factory calendar assigned to the plant is set up with 7 days and the planning calendars do not have a problem.   Production orders have the desired dates.

The problem is that the purchase orders also use the same factory calendar, but inbound deliveries can only be accepted on 5 days.

Hi,

     Goto Tcode SCAL then select radio button for Logistic Calendar then click on change button. You will get list of calendars for different countries. Double click on your country calendar here workdays Monday to Friday is selected . Please select it for all days i.e. Monday to Sunday and then save. Your issue will be resolve.

Hope you will find it useful..

Hi Ajaya, There is no radio button 'Logistics Calendar' in transaction SCAL.  It is the radio button 'Factory Calendar' and I have already set up the plant calendar for 7 days for production.  That is what is causing my problem.  The problem is that the purchase orders also use the same factory calendar, but inbound deliveries can only be accepted on 5 days.

Hi

Have you checked tcodes MD25, MD26 or MD27?

For factory calendar go to tcode SCAL.
