Sales Order Delivery Date

[Former Member]

Hi All,

My client wants that if stock not available at a time of sales order creation then system propose delivery date by considering its total production time means time taken to produce it but in such a way that its order start time comes after order finish time of its bom components if they also not available.

Ex.

A needs B as a sub assembly component.

B needs C & D as a sub assembly Component.

C Needs E & D needs F & G as a sub assembly component.

if A not available in stock then system get delivery date in such a way.

Check availability of C & D suppose C is available & D is not then check F & G availability.

F start date is today (TD) & finish date TD+5 days, 5 days F in house production time or planned procurement time.

G start date is today (TD) & finish date TD+4 days, 4 days F in house production time or planned procurement time.

now D start from TD5 days (latest in F & G) & finish TD5+6 days

6 day production time of D.

C is always available so C Available date is TD if it is not then it also calculate like D.

Now A start from TD56 & finish TD56+3 where 3 is production time of A.

Is it possible to get this scenario or this information.

Thanks & Regards

Hi rakesh,

i dont know a standard scenario, that counts those multiple times together.

for the calculation of the delivery date, there ist a customer exit bevore and after the availability check.

Use the userexit after ability check and do your own calculation.

i think, there is no other way.

Yes i think i need to make user exit.

If you want to use this as a standard feature it is possible only in APO. In standard R/3 system I dont think it is possible. Another alternative is to use user exit as suggested by Hans.
