How are APO/R3 dates calculated

[Former Member]

Hi All,

In APO, for a PO, we have ' Requirement date', 'Availability date' and in R3, we have reqmnt/rect date and delivery date.

How are these dates calculated from a reference?

My understanding- System takes the requirement date( date on which there is a reqmnt for the material), subtracts a time equal to GR+GI time and arrives at Availability date. the same Availability date is transferred to R3 as 'Reqmnt/Rect date'. But how is the delivery date in R3 calculated?

suppose I have a requirement date in APO, what are the details that I need to calculate successive dates?

Regards

Hi,

I have one confusion pls. clarify.

Requirement date=Date of demand on which material is required.

Delivery date= Date of demand- planned delivery time /transportation duration

Availability date= Delivery date+GR process time.

In product veiw in APO you will see as availability date and receipt date.
