All rights reserved.23 SD3-3: Availability Check Complete delivery In this section, SAP checks whether there will be sufficient stock for complete delivery at a later date:  If there is sufficient stock available at a later date to cover the required quantity in the sales document, the system proposes the date here.  If the system determines that complete delivery cannot be made at a later date, no date is proposed in this section.

24. January 2008 © SAP AG - University Alliances and The Rushmore Group, LLC 2008. All rights reserved.24 SD3-3: Availability Check Delayed proposal In this section, SAP checks whether and for which dates partial deliveries can be made. Partial deliveries are displayed for different dates. These dates are based on the planned inward and outward movements of stock. During an availability check which takes replenishment lead time into account, the date on which replenishment lead time ends is displayed if insufficient stock means that no partial deliveries can be made before replenishment lead time ends.

25. January 2008 © SAP AG - University Alliances and The Rushmore Group, LLC 2008. All rights reserved.25 SD3-4: Delivery Scheduling SAP can automatically schedule essential shipping activities, using backward and forward scheduling rules. It uses defined activity times to schedule delivery activities.

26. January 2008 © SAP AG - University Alliances and The Rushmore Group, LLC 2008. All rights reserved.26 SD3-4: Delivery Scheduling Terms used in scheduling are defined below. Transit time is the time in days that is required to deliver goods from your premises to the customer location. It is defined for a route. Loading time is the time in days that is required for loading a delivery item. It is determined from the shipping point, the route, and the loading group of the material. Pick/pack time is the time in days that is required for allocating goods to a delivery as well as the time in days that is required for picking and packing. It is calculated using the shipping point, the route, and the weight group of the order item. Transportation lead-time is the time in days that is needed to organize the shipping of the goods. This might include booking a ship and reserving a truck from a forwarding agent. It is defined for a route.

27. January 2008 © SAP AG - University Alliances and The Rushmore Group, LLC 2008. All rights reserved.27 SD3-4: Delivery Scheduling The following 5 deadlines are of importance for delivery scheduling: 1.Material availability deadline: must start picking and packing activities on the material availability deadline. This deadline must be selected early enough in advance so that the goods are ready by the given loading deadline. 2.Transportation scheduling deadline: the date on which you must start to organize the transportation of the goods. This deadline must be selected early enough to ensure that the means of transport is available by the loading deadline.

28. January 2008 © SAP AG - University Alliances and The Rushmore Group, LLC 2008. All rights reserved.28 SD3-4: Delivery Scheduling 3.Loading deadline: the date on which the goods must be available for loading and on which all vehicles that are required to ship these goods must be ready for loading. After the time required for loading the goods (loading time) has expired, goods issue can be carried out. 4.Goods issue deadline: the date on which the goods leave the company in order to arrive punctually at the customer location.

29. January 2008 © SAP AG - University Alliances and The Rushmore Group, LLC 2008. All rights reserved.29 SD3-4: Delivery Scheduling 5. Delivery deadline: the date on which the goods are to arrive at the customer location. The difference between the goods issue deadline and the delivery deadline is calculated from the transit time required for the route between the delivering plant and the customer. The delivery deadline can be the customer's requested delivery deadline or the confirmed delivery date (that is, the earliest date on which you can deliver goods to the customer).

30. January 2008 © SAP AG - University Alliances and The Rushmore Group, LLC 2008. All rights reserved.30 SD3-4: Delivery Scheduling An item consists of one or more schedule lines. The schedule line contains all the data that is needed for a delivery. For example, a customer orders 20 units of a particular material which you enter as one item in the sales order. However, you can only deliver 10 pieces now and the remaining 10 pieces next month. So you need to schedule two deliveries. The data for these deliveries (dates, confirmed quantities) are stored in two separate schedule lines.

33. January 2008 © SAP AG - University Alliances and The Rushmore Group, LLC 2008. All rights reserved.33 Sales order is transferred to MRP as a Customer Independent Requirement (CIR). If a deficit is found, SAP will propose a purchase req. or planned order to fulfill the shortage after running MRP or MPS. Sales and distribution requirements reduce existing stock or inward movements of stock on the material availability date to ensure that other outward movement of stock elements cannot access the quantity reserved in this way.
