To save the first confirmed delivery date.

[Former Member]

Hi,

We have sales orders with assembly.

We do the first availability and this is the confirmed date to the customer. we send this date to the customer.

We need to do every time the availability process to all the sales order, in order to know the best delivery date.

BUT we need to know the first confirmed date of the sales order with the new confirmed date.

How can i know this? How can i know first confirmed date????

Thanks

Hi there,

In VOV8, when defining the sales orders, in the General Control view, there is a field called Commitment Date.

There you can choose the system to propose the 1st confirmation date or best confirmation date when you do an availability check.

When you do an availability check every time, the system updates this date in the schedule lines. If you want to track the 1st availability date, then you can try this

Define a new Z table. When the sales order is saved, it should pass the confirmed date into the Z table. Make that field as constant & that cannot be changed. Define another field which changes dynamically as & when you carry an availability check. So when you initially save the order both the original & new fields will have a new date. When you re-do the avavilability check, then the original date is still the 1st confirmation date but the new field will have the new confirmed date.

Hope this helps.
