Activities

Create Outbound Delivery ( SAP R/3 System)

In the SAP R/3 system, choose LogisticsSales & DistributionSalesScheduling AgreementSubsequent FunctionsOutbound Delivery .

Display Outbound Deliveries (SAP APO System)

You can also display the outbound deliveries that have been created for a sales scheduling agreement item in the SAP APO system.

To do this, go to master data maintenance for sales scheduling agreements and choose Deliveries .

A new window appears displaying the list of last deliveries. This contains information about the delivery, delivery date, delivery quantity, cumulative delivered and cumulative received quantity, goods issue in the SAP R/3 system and so on.

You can see whether the cumulative quantities match the delivery of which the customer informed you in the last scheduling agreement release.

If the cumulative quantities (cumulative received quantity – CRQ – and cumulative delivered quantity – CDQ) and the delivery number match then the delivery is highlighted in green.

If the cumulative quantities and the delivery number do not match then two deliveries are highlighted in red; the delivery with the matching cumulative quantities and the delivery with the matching delivery number.

For example, the cumulative quantities and the delivery do not match if the last release contains an incorrect delivery, the customer has received less than you have delivered or if a delivery has been posted in the wrong fiscal year as a result of a fiscal year change.

If necessary you can check the delivery, create a correction delivery in the SAP R/3 system (so that the cumulative delivered quantity is adjusted) or adjust the cumulative received quantity.

The system determines the cumulative quantities or the delivery from the scheduling agreement release upon which the list is based. This can be an operative or a forecast/planning delivery schedule.

If you have already received operative or forecast/planning delivery schedules then you can choose one of the following views:

Current

If you choose the Current view then all deliveries relating to the scheduling agreement release with the most recent release date are displayed. The most recent release can either be an operative or a forecast/planning delivery schedule.

Operative Delivery Schedule or Forecast/Planning

If you choose Operative Delivery Schedule or Forecast/Planning Delivery Schedule then all deliveries relating to the last operative delivery schedule or the last forecast/planning delivery schedule are displayed. This means that the CDQ, the CRQ and the delivery number are compared on the basis of the last operative or forecast/planning delivery schedule.

The number of deliveries displayed in the list is controlled by the linked OLTP system, which is usually an SAP R/3 system. The deliveries that are displayed are transferred from the SAP R/3 system to the SAP APO system over the APO Core Interface (APO-CIF) at the same time as the sales scheduling agreements.

Post Goods Issue ( SAP R/3 System)
