Symptom
When planning a material using a planning calendar with lot-size procedure PK,
checking the planning results, the delivery dates of procurement proposals are not set to the start of the planning calendar period as expected.
Environment
SAP S/4HANA Cloud
Cause
The cause is generally incorrect customizing of the lot-size procedure PK (SSCUI 101112 ).
Resolution
Check the customizing in SSCUI 101112. For the delivery date to occur at the start of the planning calendar period, make the following settings for lot-size procedure PK:
Set parameter Scheduling to ' '
Set parameter Date Interpretation to '1'
Please note, however, that with the above settings, availability will not occur at the start of the period for materials that have a GR processing time in the Material Master - for example:
Planning calendar period: Wed to Tue
GR processing time: 2 days
==> Delivery date on Wednesday, goods available on Friday
If, in such a scenario, it is required that the availability date rather than the delivery date occurs at the start of the period, then the following settings should be made in customizing:
Set parameter Scheduling to '1'
Set parameter Date Interpretation to ' '
For the above example with these customizing settings, the goods would be available on Wednesday, with the delivery date occurring on Monday.
