Check delivery date against factory calendar

[Former Member]

I'm trying to implement following scenario in ECS

The delivery date in SC and PO should be checked against factory calendar. Therefore in Tx BP I assign a factory calendar to the Business Partner, that is representating the location/plant.

But System is not checking against calendar. No messages occur when I enter a delivery date like Christmas in SC or PO

Any hints?

Hi Dieter,

It is very interesting and valuable question. generally we bother about the delivery date should not past while create a PO,but still your thought is valid. How did you assign the factory calendor to your plant in ebp . since ebp has very limitations data on plant .plant is just business partner.

BBP_PDIGP in ebp/ EKET in r/3

770938 and 770938 refer some related note on delivery date calculations.

Hi Muthu,

We are in ECS SER-SERVER5.5. I assigned the factory calendar in T-code BP:

Enter BO number of location and select BP Role "000000 Business Partner (Gen.)". Under tap srip "Control" in section "Business Hours" clivk button "Goods Receiving Hours" A pop up screen appears and you can define business hous for Goods Receiving. In Section "Variances" you can assign exceptions and a factory calendar.

I defined Mo - Fri (Ruke W (weekly periodic Goods Receiving Hour) asgoods receiving hous and under "Variances" Exception (K not on non working days) and a factory calendar

To be able to assign exceptions you have to set following customizing setting:

IMG -> Cross-application components -> SAP Business Partner -> Business Partner -> Basic Settings -> Business Hours -> Define Maintenance Format and Visiting Hours: Here please unmark checkbox "Limited Dialog for Goods Receiving Hours"

I was expecting that delivery date now should be checked against Mo - Fri Rule and Factory calendar for given BP/Location. But its not working.

Rgds.

Hi Dieteter,

I have also tried as you mentioned. SRM has a missing functionality not like r/3. you can create a OSS message against them.
