Date tolerance for xSuite Order Confirmation
The delivery date is checked according to the SAP EDI standard.
The check takes both the schedule lines of the purchase order item and the schedule lines of the order confirmation into account. The system compares the schedule lines of the purchase order with those of the vendor's confirmation items.
The system distinguishes between deliveries that are too early and deliveries that are too late (fields Tolerance: Too Early and Tolerance: Too Late).
Example: Delivery too early
The delivery date of the confirmation item is earlier than the delivery date in the purchase order schedule line. A check is made to ascertain whether it is still within the permissible date tolerance.
The quantity of the confirmation item is greater than that of the purchase order schedule line. Since the total quantity of the purchase order items has already been checked by the quantity tolerance, the system only checks the delivery date here.
Example: Delivery too late
The delivery date of the confirmation item is later than the delivery date in the purchase order schedule line. A check is made to ascertain whether it is still within the permissible date tolerance.
The quantity of the confirmation item is smaller than that of the purchase order schedule line. The system checks whether the missing quantity can be covered by the next confirmation item. Should this be the case, the system will check whether the delivery date of the next confirmation item with the date of the previous schedule line is within the tolerance. Since the total quantity of the purchase order items has already been checked by the quantity tolerance, the system will only check the delivery date here.
