MM - Question about delivery date for a couple vendor/material master

[Former Member]

Hello,

I have a problem. Some materials have several potential vendors. And some vendors make deliveries on specific days (for example : thursday). I have created a planning calendar on MD25 with the day thursday and I assign this calendar to the material master. I create a ZK lot size (copy of PK) and I run the MRP.

The purchase requisitions are corrects, the delivery date is a thursday. Now, I create a new calendar for the friday and I assign it in the vendor master (tab: additionnal data, field: delivery cycle). The MRP run doesn't take into account the calendar of the vendor specified in additionnal data.

I want that the day specified in purchase requisition delivery date is based on vendor level and not material master level.

Can you help me please? How can I solve my problem?

Best regards,

Unfortunately, this functionality is not available for vendors on the
standard ECC system.

The field (LFM2-MRPPP) for use in vendor master record but it has no use
at the moment in material requirements planning. This functionality is
only available in APO where a vendor is considered as a Location (like a
plant in SAP ERP).

A planning calendar can unfortunately be only created at plant level,
not at the level of a vendor.This has been asked also by other customers
but it is not developed yet.
