Technical Details

Transfer of control (ToC) dates are defined as follows:

Internal transfer of control date (applicable to advanced intercompany sales only) - The date on which the control of goods is transferred from the delivering company to the selling company.

Internal transfer of control date (applicable to advanced intercompany stock transfer only) - The date on which the control of goods is transferred from the delivering company to the receiving company.

External transfer of control date - The date on which the control of goods is transferred from the selling company to the customer.

The following table lists the business process specific relevance for internal and external transfer of control dates:

Business Process	Internal ToC Date	External ToC Date
advanced intercompany sales	relevant	relevant
advanced intercompany stock transfer	relevant	not Relevant
sell from stock with valuated stock in transit (VSiT)	not relevant	relevant

The default values of the planned transfer of control dates are as follows:

Planned internal transfer of control date: the planned goods issue date.
Planned external transfer of control date: the delivery date.

Actual transfer of control dates:

Transportation Management supports the business process advanced intercompany sales. For internal and external transfer of control, there is planned and actual transfer of control. The transfer of control dates and times in the LE delivery are set by TM, based on transportation planning and actual events. The planned and actual internal and external transfer of control dates and times can be found in the Shipment tab in the LE delivery. For more information, see Transportation Management in Advanced Intercompany Business Processes | SAP Help Portal.

The system uses the following logic to determine the planned and actual dates:

If the actual date is determined, it is used.
If the actual date has not been determined, the planned date is used.

Note

Executing Proof of Delivery (POD) with the advanced intercompany sales and sell from stock with VSiT processes does not update the transfer of control dates. Executing POD only changes the POD status of the delivery so that subsequent activities like invoice creation can occur.

Editing Transfer of Control Dates and Relevant Configuration

Relevant Configuration

You can use the configuration step Define Delivery Types to define an offset for the automatic creation of the goods movement with reference to the planned internal and external transfer of control dates. To access this configuration step, search for the ID 102123 in the configuration environment. For more details, see Configuration Environment of SAP S/4HANA Cloud | SAP Help Portal.

The following is valid for the defined offset:

The automatic creation of goods movement is delayed by the defined offset if only the planned internal or external transfer of control date is filled in the delivery header's field. If the actual internal or external transfer of control date is filled, the offset is ignored.
If an offset is defined and the factory calendar is configured, the factory calendar for the corresponding shipping point is considered to specify a creation time within working hours.
The offset for internal and external transfer of control dates only affects the creation date of the material document.The posting date in financial accounting is not affected by the defined offset. If the offset is 0, the creation date of the material document and the posting date in financial accounting are the same.

Manual Editing

Use the app Change Outbound Delivery (VL02N) to manually change the transfer of control dates.

BAdI Implementation

Use the following Cloud BAdIs to implement custom logic for determining the transfer of control dates:

Modify Delivery Header (BAdI Definition LE_SHP_MODIFY_HEAD)
Modify Delivery Items (BAdI Definition LE_SHP_MODIFY_ITEM)
