Hi,
I have a scenario with regards to material availability date from SD to MM scenerio.
I have a sales order with ordering item require to source from external vendor, hence, when I saved the sales order, scheduling line generated and a PR is generated for this item to source from vendor.
I know the material availability date is derived from the following formula:
First date - Transit time = Goods Issue date
Goods Issue date - Loading time = Loading date
Loading date - Pick/pack processing time = Material Availability date.
Question:
However, does this material availability related to the MM's availability date calculation because it is an external purchasing, that means the available of the material is closely link to MM.
- If it is link to MM, does this means this material available date calculation also link to the following formula?
PO processing time + Planned Delivery Time (ext vendor leadtime) + GR processing time = Material Available Time (i.e. material receipt date/requirement date in MD04)
I am confused about the integration part this on this object as both looks similar to me. Maybe I missed out something.
Please enlighten me, thanks.
Regards,
Tuff
