Sap Sale Module: Re: [sap-log-sd] Selection date in delivery

Hi Typewriter,

If the Material is available = 10.08.2011
Transport is arranged on = 7.08.2011

Why would the system throw error if we attempt to create delivery in VL01N
by giving the selection date = 15.08.2011 (which is later then above two
dates). If we try to create delivery much before the above two dates only
system would give error because ATP has not confirmed.

Please correct me.

Thanks, Vamsi

Hi,

a) In VL01N, field "selection date" checks the Material availability date & the Transportation planning date. If selection date is equal to or later than any of these 2 dates, then delivery is created.
Thus, if material is available or transport has been arranged, user can create a delivery. It has NOTHING to do with delivery date or material in stock or ATP stock!

E.g.
Material is available = 10.08.2011
Transport is arranged on = 7.08.2011
In VL01N,
Selection date = 15.08.2011, then you get the error message. Delivery can NOT be created. Change selection date to = 7.08.2011, you can create delivery. Irrespective of delivery date or any other dates & information w.r.t ATP, stock.

b) If there is insufficient stock than you can NOT do PGI
User shall get error message -
Deficit of SL Unrestricted-use 4 EA : CH200-V360 ZN10 0001
Message no. M7021

To conclude, the shipping process goes through a series of steps like creation of delivery, picking, packing, PGI, transport to ShipTo address. Thus SAP check different criteria for creation & processing of different documents. Delivery note creation is "further ahead/before" in the process chain than PGI.

If you have more questions, or anything is not clear; please post them.
