Different Date from EDI to be updated to sales order

[Former Member]

a)In the EDI order the "date delivery requested" to be updated onto sales order automatically in the RDD date for a list of customers only.

b)Currently they are maped to the "do not deliver after date" from the EDI

what is the difference between a) and b) from the business perspective and if it is to be done? should it be done by a using a user exit and writing a code with a techi (abaper).

Invite your exper view on this please.

Hi Mohammed,

Can you clarify on which field you are refering to "do not deliver after date" ? are you talking about contracts? or is this the validity date on the order?

By going by your statement the difference which seems to be likely is RDD - requested delivery date is the customers expectation or expected delivery date from buisness view point.

Donot deliver after date would be in some typical case where in the customer would give a deadline that he would not be interested in the order if the delivery is after a particular date.

If you can give a more clear idea on the scenario it would be easy to map the right field.

The RDD field would be VBAK-VDATU.

Reward points if it helps.

HI Mohammed;

I think this can be achieved in 2 ways

1. We can make changes to the Idoc Func.Module and filter the Customers at the time of inducting the Idoc.

2. You can write a routine at the Sender-Receiver ALE (T-Code BD79) where in you can define a routine to filter out the Customers and update the idoc info accordingly.

Given our scenario is here I would suggest we go with option#1.
