Schedule Line Issue

[Former Member]

Hi All,

In a sales order, there is a single ltem with multiple schedule lines with date and quantity.

Delivery person delivers as per the schedule line date and quantity but there are instances where there is short delivery. Hence needs short closing of schedule line. Need Solution for this.

Constraints :-

Reason of rejection does not work here as it is partial closing of schedule line and not item.

If delivery block is put or schedule line category is changed dynamically, system allots the delivered quantity to next scheduline thus reducing the open quantity of second scheduline and so on.

Currently trigerring short close command thru. user exit from delivery to sales order schedule line but facing the above two constraints.

Hence, need solution where only the schedule line concerned is short closed without affecting the other schedule lines for the same item.

Request your help in resolution which is need on asap basis.

Hi,

I'll suggest you a new mapping for delivery creation. Just check whether you can use this.

Instead of VL10A, VL10C, VL01N, introduce VL10E for delivery creation. This is to create deliveries based on the Schedule LInes

Then ask delivery creation person to select ONLY the relevant schedule line when creating deliveries.

Eg: Say you have 3 schedule lines in LI 10.

1 - 01/11/2009 - Qty 10

2 - 10/11/2009 - Qty 10

3 - 20/11/1009 - Qty 10

When you go to VL10E & execute it for your SO number, you can see all 3 Schedule lines. Ask him to create delivery only for relevant Schedule line.

Say he create a deliery from Schedule line 1 - 01/11/2009 for Qty 8

In that case he can select only that Schedule line from the screen & create a delivery.

If that's all to be delivered form that schedule line, set a delivery block at Schedule line level in the sales order. To have more clarity create a Delivery Block as "Short Close" so that users can identify clearly why it's blocked.

When you go to VL10E, to do the next delivery (For schedule line 2)

You can see screen as follows.

1 - 01/11/2009 - Qty 2

2 - 10/11/2009 - Qty 10

3 - 20/11/1009 - Qty 10

Since "Delivery Block" is set to Schedule line 1, he cannot create a delivery for that, where as he has to select Schedule line 2 for delivery.

Hope this is useful to you!

Dear Anupa,

Thanks for the reply.

I am using VL10E monitor only.

Now what is happening is if out of 10 qty in schedule line 1 , 8 nos is delivered and a delivery block is put with any reason, the concerned schedule line will not appear in the monitor anymore. And the delivered qty 8 is shown as delivered against schedule line 2 affecting the open qty of schedule line 2 which is wrong.

This is what i want to avoid.

Can u suggest .
