Purpose
To describe and illustrate the proper steps used to create Multiple Delivery instances of a line item in PD2

3. Overview
In Contracts, Purchase Orders, and Delivery Orders, the delivery of the items are controlled at the line item level.
Each line item with a quantity of more than (1) may have multiple deliveries assigned to it.
As single deliveries are assigned to each individual line item, multiple deliveries of individual line items must be created individually for each line item if desired.

4. Overview
Whether the delivery schedule is created in the Purchase Request, the Solicitation, or the Award, the steps are still the same.
In our example, we will create multiple deliveries from a line item in a Solicitation.

5. Multiple Delivery Schedules
From within your Solicitation, double-click the line item that will have the multiple delivery schedules.

6. Multiple Delivery Schedules
The “Line Item Detail” window displays. Notice that our Quantity is Now click the [Delivery] button.

7. Multiple Delivery Schedules
The “Delivery Schedule” window displays. This is where the deliveries will be assigned. Click the [Delivery] button under “Add”.

8. Multiple Delivery Schedules
The “Delivery” window displays. Notice that there are two methods of entering a delivery schedule. Next to “Delivery Date” there is a space for the “exact” delivery date, and there are spaces for a “floating” delivery date.

9. Multiple Delivery Schedules
The exact delivery date space allows specific dates such as [29-Aug-2016].

10. Multiple Delivery Schedules
The floating delivery spaces allows for non specific delivery dates such as [30-days-ADC or after the date of the contract].

11. Multiple Delivery Schedules
We will use both delivery items for this line item. First, highlight the Quantity and change it to the desired number for the first delivery.

12. Multiple Delivery Schedules
Enter the appropriate Delivery Date. In our example, the Address for shipment was pre-filled based on our preset preferences. If this is not the correct address, click the [Delete] button.

13. Multiple Delivery Schedules
Now click the [Add] button to add the correct address.

14. Multiple Delivery Schedules
Once the address has been added, click the [OK] button.

The first delivery instance has been created. Notice that the [Delivery] button is NOT greyed out. This means that there are still quantities available for selection for delivery. Click the [Delivery] button.

16. Multiple Delivery Schedules
The “Delivery” window displays again. Notice that the Quantity has decreased to the remaining balance. Change the quantity to the amount for the next delivery instance.

17. Multiple Delivery Schedules
Add the delivery address as outlined before. Enter the Delivery Date for this quantity. Click the [OK] button.

18. Multiple Delivery Schedules
The second delivery instance has been created. There are still additional quantities left, so click the [Delivery] button to use them.

19. Multiple Delivery Schedules
We will use the full amount of the remaining quantity for the final delivery instance. Add a delivery address as before.

20. Multiple Delivery Schedules
In this instance, we will use the floating type of Delivery Date. Enter the number of days (weeks, months etc. per the drop-down) and select either “ADC” (After Date of Contract) or “AFATA” (After First Article Test Acceptance) per the second drop-down. Now click the [OK] button.
