In stock transport orders, for articles with season, the system determines a season based on the following:
The Customizing activity Maintain Stock Transport Order Types per Purchasing Area for Fashion Mgmt
The season you have assigned to an article
The season validity periods for sales
The system displays the season information at the item level.
Features
When you create a stock transport order for an article with season, the system determines the season based on the customizing and the following information:
Order date
Document type
Receiving plant
Sales organization
Distribution center
Division
Delivery date
If you do not assign a valid season in the stock transport order for an article with season, the system displays a message based on the message type you maintained in the customizing. If the message type is an error, the system does not save the document.
You can manually change the season for an article in the stock transport order. The system validates the new season you selected with the delivery date, the order date, and the season validity period for sales. If you change the receiving plant, the order date, or the delivery date, the system redetermines the season.
The system proposes a delivery date in the stock transport order only if you enable the delivery date proposal option in the Customizing for sales documents.
