| Using planned delivery momentsIn purchase scheduling, planned delivery moments must be
generated for a combination of item, buy-from business partner, ship-from
business partner, and warehouse. These moments are used by Enterprise Planning for
lead-time offsetting. When Enterprise Planning calls Procurement for planned delivery moments for a
combination of item, buy-from business partner/ship-from business partner, and
warehouse, LN carries out
the following steps: - Searches the Delivery Patterns by Warehouse / BP / Item (tdipu0124m000) session to retrieve the applicable
delivery pattern. LN searches in the following order:
- By warehouse, buy-from business partner, ship-from business
partner and item.
- By warehouse, buy-from business partner, and ship-from
business partner.
- By warehouse.
- Determines whether the purchase schedule is receipt based or
shipment based. If a purchase schedule already exists for a combination of
item, buy-from business partner, ship-from business partner, purchase office
and ship-to address, LN checks whether the schedule is shipment based or receipt based from the Shipment/Receipt Based field in the Purchase Schedules (tdpur3110m000) session. If a purchase schedule does not exist, a new
schedule is generated. In this case, the receipt based or shipment based
information is retrieved from the Purchase Contract Line Logistic Data (tdpur3102m000) session or the Items - Purchase Business Partner (tdipu0110m000) session.
- If the schedule turns out to be shipment based, Enterprise Planning reads
the planned delivery moments for a combination of warehouse, ship-from business
partner and delivery pattern from the Planned Delivery Moments (Shipment Based) (tdipu0125m000) session. If the schedule turns
out to be receipt based, Enterprise Planning reads the planned delivery moments for a combination of
warehouse and delivery pattern from the Planned Delivery Moments (Receipt Based) (tdipu0126m000) session.
