Purchasing Information System: Change in the update function for the schedule deviation

Description

Updating the schedule deviation in the Purchasing Information System was changed in 3.0A.

With a goods receipt the schedule deviation is updated per purchase order/scheduling agreement item. For this purpose the key figures schedule delivery date deviation 1 to scheduled delivery date deviation 5, in which the deliveries are counted that fall in the corresponding grid depending upon their scheduled delivery date deviation. In the scheduled delivery date deviation 1, deliveries are counted that have a date deviation that corresponds to grid 1.

If more than one goods receipt item was recorded in a document for the same purchase order/scheduling agreement item before 3.0A, then one of the scheduled delivery date deviations was increased by just 1. Beginning with 3.0A one of the scheduled delivery date deviations is now increased by the number of deliveries to a purchase order/scheduling agreement item, whereby the number of deliveries corresponds to the number of goods receipt items of the document at one purchase order/scheduling agreement item.

This allows the number of deliveries in the information structure of the Purchasing Information System to always correspond to the total from the 5 scheduled delivery date deviation numbers.

Beginning with 3.0A the update change only causes other events to occur when more than one goods receipt item is recorded in a document to one purchase order/scheduling agreement item.
