Determination of Expected Deliveries 

Use

The system determines one or more expected deliveries within the dangerous goods checks in the sales document as there are important fields at item and schedule lines level in the sales document for the dangerous goods checks. An example of this is the route at item level. You can use this to transport the materials in a sales document to the ship-to party using different routes (different shipping types, for example).

Features

An expected delivery groups together those materials from the sales document that are to be delivered from the same shipping point, via the same route, to the same ship-to party, and at the same goods issue date/arrival time. The system determines the data required for the dangerous goods checks for each expected delivery (for example, the countries and mode-of-transport categories) and processes the check schema. The individual expected deliveries are listed in the log for the dangerous goods check, but not saved to the database. You can print the check log.

Note

You have the option of enhancing the SAP standard method with your own customer-specific logic. For this purpose you can use the customer exits available in Customizing for Dangerous Goods Management under Dangerous Goods Checks.

·        The SAP enhancement DG600001 allows you to merge item data and delivery schedule data for expected deliveries.

Before expected deliveries are formed, the system combines the dangerous goods-relevant item and delivery schedule data from the sales document to form a data structure (RDGDATAC). From this, the expected deliveries are determined. The customer exit allows you to set your own individual method of determining the merged data records.

·        The SAP enhancement DG600002 allows you to determine expected deliveries.

According to the SAP standard method the following criteria are checked for expected deliveries:

¡        Ship-to party

¡        Goods issue date

¡        Shipping point

¡        Route

¡        Arrival time

The customer exit gives you the option of creating an expected delivery according to your own criteria.

·        The SAP enhancement DG600003 allows you to write the log header for expected deliveries.

If you determine the expected deliveries yourself using the customer exit DG600002, it is useful to include the corresponding selection parameters in the log header using this customer exit.
