delivery date and shipping date

[former_member564526]

Hi,

Delivery: individual delivery

Shipment: collection of deliveries which has to be delivered if route is same.

Then, my question is whether the shipping date and delivery date is same for a particular order? Then what is the filed and table for shipping date?

Regards,

Hi Sooraj,

Delivery date is the date the customer expects to have the goods delivered to the customer's warehouse.

The shipping date is the date the shipment need to start rom our warehouse to reach the customer on requested delivery date. If you do not have transit time defined in the route the dates will be the same, otherwise the shipping date will be some days in advance comparing to delivery date.

Regards,

Marcin

Hi Sooraj,

The delivery document’s delivery date (LIKP-LFDAT) is independent of the various dates found on the shipment document to which the delivery belongs.  Shipment processing will not automatically change LIKP-LFDAT. 

There are several planning and execution dates on the shipment document that can be considered the “shipment date”:

• Check-in
• Loading start
• Loading end
• Shipment completion
• Shipment start
• Shipment end

All of these are found on the shipment header table VTTK.

Ken
