Delivery Scheduling in SAP Sales and Distribution

When a sales order is created in SAP, the system determines a required material availability date based on the customer's requested delivery date and times for picking, packing, labeling, and loading goods. Scheduling is separated into shipping point scheduling and transport scheduling, which must be activated. Valid holiday calendars must also be maintained for shipping points, routes, and unloading points. Scheduling works backward and forward from the requested delivery date to determine the material availability date.

Delivery Scheduling in SAP Sales and Distribution

Overview
When a sales order is created, the system determines the required material availability date on the basis
of the customer’s requested delivery date. This date is based on times used for picking, packing,
labelling, and loading the goods. Therefore, this is the date of significance for requirements planning on
which the availability should be checked.

Types of Scheduling
The Scheduling is separated into steps:
1. Scheduling at the shipping point (shipping scheduling)
2. Scheduling of the transport (transport scheduling)

These types should be activated in transaction Code OVLY for sales document type .It is also necessary
to maintain holiday calendars for Shipping Point (Transaction SPRO), Route (found via departure zone,
countries, shipping conditions, transport group, weight group (Transaction SM31 TVRO) and Unloading
Point (Transaction VD02). Without a valid calendar, scheduling is not possible.

Times to be maintained
 Working Hours (or calendar) for Shipping Point (SPRO)
 Pick/pack time (SPRO <- shipping point - route – weight group)

 Loading time (SPRO <-- shipping point - route – loading group)

 Transit time (SM31 - TVRO)

 Lead time for transport planning (optional)

 Working Hours (or calendar) for Unloading Point (VD02)

How it works
Scheduling works in two ways backward and forward Scheduling. When you create an Item, the system
carries out delivery scheduling backward. If the material availability date lies in the past, the system
performs then performs a forward scheduling.
Requested delivery Date -> Material availability date
