Hi there,

Do you mean to ask the difference between delivery doc & delivery scheduling?

Delivery doc is the actual delivery that we create in VL01N for the sales order.

Delivery scheduling is the process by which system proposes the confirmed delivery date when a sales order is loaded.

For eg consider that the customer has placed an order on 8th Sep & requested delivery RDD on 12th. Consider that you have maintained 2 days as transit time, 1 day as loading time & 1 day as pick pack time.

Then the system initially carries backward scheduling from the RDD. So from 12th, it will calculate backwards. So your goods should leave your shipping point by 10th, loading should start by 9th, pick pack should start on 8th. System will see is material is available on 8th. If yes, then it will confirm the requested delivery date RDD. If not, system will check for the material availability date MAD. If MAD is on 10th, then system will do forward scheduling from 10th. So items can be picked by 11th, loading done on 12th & goods will reach customer on 14th (2 days transit). So confirmed delivery date is 14th. System will propose this date as delivery date in shipping view of sales order main screen.

This process is called delivery scheduling.

If your question is something else, pls clarify further.

Hi,

Delivery document is just the despatch activity carried out after the stock has been confirmed in a sales order. You carry out picking in delivery & PGI marks the final outwards of the material.

Scheduling as the word susggest, is nothing but different dates on which material has to be despatched to the customer. There will be creatin datea agreed with the customer & such dates can ber entered in scheduling agreement.
