Function documentationProposing Requested Delivery Date in the Header

 

You can let the system propose a requested delivery date in the sales transaction header that is then automatically copied into new request schedule lines of the sales transaction.

Features

The system determines the requested delivery date in the following ways:

  • You enter the date manually or select a rule to let the system propose a delivery date.

  • If you do not enter a date or select a rule, the system automatically calculates the date by using the default rule for the date type.

  • If no default rule is defined for the date type, the system proposes the system date.

  • If customizing for date management is incomplete, the system does not propose a requested delivery date.

If you change the requested delivery date in the header, the delivery dates in existing schedule lines remain unchanged.

The system takes the factory calendar and the goods receiving hours of the ship-to party into consideration. It uses the time zone of the ship-to party. If this is not maintained, the system uses the local system time zone. If you change the business transaction and enter a ship-to party with another time zone, then the system updates the requested delivery date in the header and the schedule lines accordingly.
