An item can also represent a set of items handled as one kit, or exist in multiple product variants.

You can also define nonphysical items, which are not held in inventory but can be used to post costs or to invoice services to customers. The following are examples of nonphysical items:

  • Cost items (for example, electricity)

The planned date on which the items on the order/schedule line are planned to be received. The planned receipt date cannot occur before the order date/schedule generation date.

Confirmed Receipt Date

The receipt date for the items, which is confirmed by the buy-from business partner or confirmed to the sold-to business partner.

This date is used for several purposes:

  • As one of the bases by which the vendor rating is determined.
  • As the default value for the confirmed receipt date on the order lines.
  • As the reference date for the printing of reminders.
Changed Receipt Date

The new receipt date that is used if the supplier cannot comply with the agreed receipt date and states a new receipt date. Together with the planned and/or confirmed receipt date, the changed receipt date is the basis for determining the vendor rating, and the planned inventory movements. In addition, this date is also used in the reminder procedure.

Order Confirmation Date

The date on which the buy-from business partner confirmed the purchase order, or the date on which the sales order is confirmed to the sold-to business partner.

The order confirmation date is used for the calculation of order confirmation objective ratings in vendor rating. The buy-from business partner is given a rating according to the time interval between the order date and the order confirmation date.
