Order Confirmation in sales order

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

When we get PO from customer, We create sales order in SAP. after createion of sales order we need to send back the conrfirmation to customer with delivery date details.

Which date we need to send to the customer?

Do we have a header date in sales order which tells the delivery of the entire sales order? (Complete delivery at header level)

I know there are delivery dates at schedue line level.

Thank you

Hi there,

Header will just have the requested delivery date. Confirmed delivery date will always be at the item level schedule lines.

It is always proper to send the confirmed delivery date from schedule lines only. This is because different line items in delivery may have different confirmed delivery dates. Some may be stock items which are readily available, some are inhouse production items & some may be externally procured items. Only when all the line items have same delivery grouping in shipping view, it is possible for items to have different confirmed delivery date.

We can find the requested delivery date only at the header level.The confirmed delivery date presents at the item level of the order.

For each item after doing the availability check and by default by using the backward scheduling,the confirmed delivery date will be picked up.

You can get it from the table "VBEP".

Ask your ABAPer to develop a new "Z" output type.

Assign this one to your order.

Create the condition records for this output type by using the T.Code "VV11".

Maintain the medium as "5(External send)".So that you can send it to your customer.

Here you may attach the PDF file also as a confirmation.

Check the status by using the T.Code "SOST".

Hi,

Output type for order confirmation is "BA00",

As we know different material need not be confirmed on same date and for the same reason order may have multiple deliveries.

so you cannot confirm a date at header level for order (the date u see at header is req.deliv date of customer).

Confirming dates are at Item level so its ideal to costomize in a way that you send a order confirmation with confirm dates at each line item.

Hi,

Go to VA02 tcode and enter your Sales order.

Now clck the Sales document button at the top left corner and then select the option Issue Output to view the print preview of the Sales Order Confirmation.

Regarding the dates, any field can be made available in the Order confirmation based on the requirement through Customization.

In the Schedule Lines Tab > the Confirmed Delivery date is the one against the Confirmed Qty.

Hi Kris,

Complete delivery is the indicator to tell the system that this order needs to delivered completely and that the customer doesnt accepts the partial delivery.

So, depending on your scenario the system adds up the time for pick pack, loading date and transportation date and suggests you a date at the item level. And this date can be confirmed to the customer, if the requested delivery date from customer is not met then the system suggests you the earliest date it will be delivered.
