Hi all,

We booked one Sales order with delivery date ( First Delivery date ) as 12.Nov. The order acknowledgement says that.However when we got into the order some time later , Delivery date changed to 13.Nov. There are no change logs existing.How could it happen ? What could be the reason ? Please suggest.

Regards,

Kumar

Hi Kumar,

System will give the delivery date based on Material availability date, If you maintaining availability check you should fallow the Scheduling. If you did' not maintain availability check in your configuration, you can set delivery dates when ever you want after sales order.

If you have a availability check you should go through the scheduling process.

Ex; Consider that the customer has placed an order on 8th Dec and requested delivery RDD on 12th. Consider that you have maintained 2 days as transit time, 1 day as loading time and 1 day as pick pack time.Then the system initially carries backward scheduling from the RDD. So from 12th, it will calculate backwards. So your goods should leave your shipping point by 10th, loading should start by 9th, pick pack should start on 8th. System will see is material is available on 8th. If  yes,then it will confirm the RDD. If not, system ill check for the MAD. If MAD is on 10th, then system ill do forward scheduling from 10th. So items can be picked by 11th, loading done on 12th and goods ill reach customer on 14th (2days transit). So CDD is 14th, System ill propose this date as delivery date in shipping view of sales order main screen. This is delivery scheduling process.

In the sales order, where exactly do you see the date 13th November? Is it the First Delivery Date or Requested Delivery date or the delivery date in the schedule lines?

Regarding the change log...if not the delivery date,  what are the other changes that are recorded in the change log.

Thanks,

Hello,

The Requested Delivery date with generally today's date or whatever date the user enters while creating the Sales Order.

Now if availability check is active, the Delivery date is caculated by the system based on various factors, some of which are explained by Ram above.

Request you to kindly search the forum / WIKI pages on Availability check & TOR and you will get many threads & documents explaining these concepts.

Thanks,
