Hi Praveen,

The arrival time at the customer site is calculated as the earliest possible goods receipt time at the customers unloading point on the requested delivery date.

The system calculates backward scheduling as follows:

Requested delivery date minus transit time = Goods issue date

Goods issue date minus loading time = Loading date

Loading date minus transportation lead time = Transportation scheduling date

Loading date minus pick/pack time = Material availability date

Basically the transit time, loading time, and pick/pack time are subtracted from the customeru2019s requested delivery date to calculate the required material availability date.

Backward scheduling is always carried out first. If the material availability date or transportation scheduling date is calculated to be in the past, the system must then use forward scheduling.
