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.

Subject: Selection date in delivery
Hello,
If the schedule line is not confirmed in sales order (due to zero atp stock i think ) and if I try to create a delivery, system will give a response that " no schedule lines are due for delivery with a yellow question mark against the message ".
If I click on the question mark, system will say that schedule line is not confirmed. System also says that We can postpone the "selection date" in future to create the delivery.
now my questions are :-
a) how can giving a later date in "selection date" field in VL01N helps us to create delivery ... I cannot understand that since ATP is zero. Pls explain by means of an example
b) Will we be able to do PGI if we are able to create a delivery as in step a above. I think PGI looks for actual stock and not ATP stock !
regards
