Reply from hovering_yogi on Apr 13 at 5:58 AM So you just need to run the back order rescheduling report SDV03V02 (manual transaction V_V2) to reschedule the confirmed quantities on your sales orders after the production MRP will always display the demand date from the requested delivery date (at least the date the material needs to be in the warehouse to meet this date) and not the confirmed date of the schedule lines so if production does achieve better than the RLT on the material master then when the back order recscheduling job runs the VBEP lines will be regenerated and then your delivery will be created against those revised commitments?

The line item date matches the sales order header level "Requested Delivery Date" initially. If material is not available (including allocations against the material) at the time of order creation, the line items are rescheduled to the longest leadtime (in material master) of the line items that are short. Business expectations are to ship orders as soon as they are ready, and with the Sales Order "Requested Delivery Date" being the commitment date to the customer for the ship date. Due to the way SAP sales orders reschedule their line items and the subsequent delay in Delivery order creation, it leads to manual intervention to process orders once the material is available. Scenarios example 1: ?Start date of scenario = Feb 27, 2017 ?Qty 100 on shelf ?1st sales order to needs 500 units, and Sales Order due date (header level / customer commitment date) = Feb 28, 2017 §Not enough material, so no delivery is created §Currently, the sales order line item reschedules forwards to account for product leadtime (say 10 days in MM) ?MRP sees the shortage and creates a replenishment signal for 400 units to account for the shortage, due in 10 business days (March 13) ?Business manually prioritizes the production order, and its completed on March 2, 2017 §currently the 1st sales order won't try to convert to a delivery, even though there is stock, until 5 days before its line item schedule date (March 6th, = March 13 - 5 business days) ?The business wants the delivery to create immediately after the material becomes available on March 2; as it is now, business manually identifies material is ready for order & forces the delivery to create example 2: ?Same as above, but with additional situation ?2nd Sales Order arrives on March 1, due on March 1, for Qty 50 (same part as above) §order sees existing allocations, so even though 100 on the shelf, they are not available §currently, Sales Order line item reschedules out 10 days (shortage LT) = March 16th ?MRP sees the shortage, and launches additional production order for Qty 50, due on March 15th ?Production order is manually prioritized and is completed on March 7th ?The business wants the delivery to create immediately after the material becomes available on March 7; note the "available" accounts for existing allocations. Business currently has to manually identify material is ready for order & force the delivery to create on March 7. example 3: ?Start date of scenario = Feb 27, 2017 ?Qty 10 on shelf ?1st sales order to needs 15 units, and Sales Order due date (header level / customer commitment date) = Feb 28, 2017 §Not enough material, so no delivery is created §Currently, the sales order line item reschedules forwards to account for product leadtime (say 10 days in MM) ?Production order created as combo of Sales Order demand and safety stock / max stock for Qty 15 (more than enough to satisfy the Sales Order), its prioritized and completed on Feb 28th ?2nd Sales order comes in on March 1, Qty 5. There is more than enough material on the shelf, including allocated material, so it creates a Delivery immediately 1st Sales order is still waiting to release, even though it came in 1st and there is enough material on the shelf Without changing system behaviors for scheduling, material checks, allocations, ATP, etc. (especially as it relates to Planned, Production or Purchase Orders and purchase requisitions) | | Reply to this email to post your response. __.____._ | In the Spotlight Become a blogger at Toolbox.com and share your expertise with the community.
