3253952 - Sales Scheduling Agreement delivery plans are overwritten when a new delivery is created.

Symptom

The user is unable to define the different delivery delivery schedules because in Tab "Planning Delivery Schedule" when clicking on the field "Generate Plan delivery schedule" or "New delivery schedule w/o proposal", the system overwrites the previous delivery schedule instead of creating another one.  

Environment

SAP S/4HANA Cloud

Expected system behaviour 

Resolution

  • The sales scheduling agreements with delivery schedules are designed so that the buyer can regularly send new forecast delivery schedules and just-in-time (JIT) delivery schedules. Planning delivery schedules are for internal use only. Every delivery schedule contains information on the cumulated received quantity and a set of schedule lines to be delivered. The system implements a new delivery schedule by replacing the old one entirely. This means a new delivery schedule header (which includes, for example, the delivery schedule number, delivery schedule date, and the cumulated received quantity) will be created, the header of the previous delivery schedule will be deleted, and a new set of schedule lines will completely replace the previous schedule lines. In other words, the buyer informs you of the quantity they have already received and the additional schedule lines to be delivered. The system calculates the cumulated transit quantity (the difference between the cumulated quantity delivered and the cumulated quantity received), and then calculates the open quantities of schedule lines in the new delivery schedule to be delivered (or produced).
  • As every new delivery schedule replaces the previous one entirely, if you create a new delivery schedule, the schedule lines of the old delivery schedule will be removed. This logic applies to all delivery schedule types: forecast, JIT, and planning.
  • This can be viewed the schedule lines of old delivery schedules as historical schedule lines by clicking the "Analysis" button on the delivery schedule screen.
