Hi Raj,

Req D Date is the date on which teh custoemr wants the goods to be delivered. But it wont be possible always. So there will be an availability check on the stock of that material and based on the availability and transportation lead times, the possible delivery date will be determined and populated at the schedule line level of the document.

Hope this clarifies your doubt.

Reward if this helps.

Hey Raj,

The requested delivery date on the order header defaults to today's date. It also carries down to any line items you enter on the order. The Delivery date on the schedule line is actually calculated based on pick, pack, ship and transit time. It is known as the CCD or customer confirmed date. This is when SAP calculates it can/will be delivered to the customer. Just because we put a Requested Delivery date of today doesn't mean we can actually deliver it today. That'd be a quick turn-around.
