Quantity Comparison for Schedule Lines in Sales Orders
Use
If, when you are creating or changing a sales order item, you define schedule lines and the item concerned is relevant for quantity optimizing, the system optimizes at schedule line level. To prevent the sum of the rounded schedule line quantities deviating greatly from the total order quantity for the item as a result of rounding, the system carries out a quantity comparison for the schedule line quantities.
Features
The system compares the schedule lines in the sequence of planned delivery dates. If the system rounds up a schedule line quantity, an overdelivery quantity is created. In the next schedule line, the system calculates the difference between the current order quantity and the overdelivery quantity from the previous schedule line and distinguishes between the following cases:
In this case a delivery must be created. The current rounded quantity is based on the current order quantity.
In this case the current order quantity is covered by the overdelivery and the rounded quantity is changed to zero.
The system then calculates the overdelivery quantity for the current schedule line using the following rule in both cases:
Current overdelivery quantity =
previous overdelivery quantity
+ current rounded quantity
– current order quantity
