Hello SAP experts,
I need a small help in the calculation and understanding of the release date value in a PR.
The material needs to be delivered on 8th Feb, 2015 and the working days for the plant is from Monday to Friday.
GR processing time = 2 days
Planned delivery time = 112 days
Pur processing time = 1 day
Now based on the standard SAP example (PR>Quantities/Dates tab>Release data (Press F1), I am getting the below formula:
Processing time Planned del. GR processing
Purchasing time time
|----------|---------------------|--------|
Release PO Delivery Date
date date date required
Date required: 01.10.2007
GR processing time: 2 days (working days)
Planned delivery time: 10 days (calendar days)
Purchasing dept processing time: 2 days (working days)
For the material to be available on the date it is needed, the purchase
requisition must be released on 13.09.2007 (requirement date less GR processing
time, planned delivery time, and purchasing department processing time).
If I calculate based on this formula, then the date I am getting is 15th Oct, 2014:
08th Feb 2015 - 2 (GR processing time, working days) = 05th Feb, 2015 (no holidays set for the plant in Feb, 15)
05th Feb 2015 - 112(Planned delivery time, calendar days) = 16th Oct, 2014
16th Oct, 2014 - 1(purchasing processing time, working days) = 15th Oct, 2014 (no holidays set for the plant in Oct, 14)
But the actual release date shown in the PR is 17th Oct, 2014. Can you let me know how these extra 2 days are getting added?
Best Regards,
AK
