Dear all

Can you please explain the relation between delivery date and sales order date. In my case i can create delivery with delivery date as before the sales order date... how it is possible that i can create delivery before the sales order date.??

Please explain.........

Hi,

When you create a back dated delivery with respect to sales order, there is a warning message, that the date is in the past please check.

to avoid further processing, please change the warning message into an error message.

this can be done with the help of ABAP person.

but before modifying in the standard programme, please consult your system administrator.

Thats fine but can you tell me is it possible that i can create delivery in the back date. Say i have created a sales order on 5th of feb and i can create delivery for this sales order on 2nd of feb. Is it possible in standard or tell me how to restrict this.

Warm regards

Dear Inder

If your scenario is MTS and stock is available on a particular date say 30-03-08 and you can create sale order on 01-04-08, you can post the goods issue on 30-03-08.

However, if you want to prevent this such that your Actual GI Date should be the system date, through badi definition LE_SHP_DELIVERY_PROC method name is CHANGE_DELIVERY_HEADER, you can control this. By applying this Badi, the end users cannot predate to system date.

Hi,

Sales order date: Date on which the customer officially places an order to your company.

All the commitment and product allocation counting starts with reference to this date.

e.g. customer says that the goods are required from 20 days of placing order, then from this date the calculation starts.

Delivery date: Date on which after the system goes through material availability date, replenishment time, calculates the date on which physically the goods can be delivered to the customer.

e.g. customer orders 100 qty of material X in 15 days, you will hve to check this delivery date through availability check which can be done in sales order and also delivery.

payment date is based on this delivery date.

regards,

Siddharth.
