Not allowing to ship a material in a time period.

[Former Member]

Hello all,

My need is: I can take an order on a material at any times, but it's not allowed to ship it in a time period.

E.g.: Sales Order: 01.02.2011, but impossible to deliver it between 15.02.2011 and 01.02.2011.

It think about Inclusion and Exclusion, with EDATU (Delivery Asked), but no way to make it works.

Do you got a process? Or another idea?

Now, is this scenario specific to any customer? or is it general.

In any case I think it is better to write a copy routine. Maintain a Z table with Material number and the date range where it cannot be delivered. In the copy routine b/w sales order and delivery insert the code to check if an entry exists in this z table. If yes, then, check the date with the date range maintained. If the del document creation date falls within the range then do not allow to create. Else, allow the delivery to get created.

If it is something specific to customer and this rule applies to all the materials, then I think you can use unloading points and then mention the goods reciving hours. But I am not sure if your requirement will be satisfied with unloading point.

Hope this helps...
