Symptom
When creating an outbound delivery from a sales scheduling agreement, the system proposes a delivery quantity that differs from the quantity maintained in the forecast delivery schedule.
For example:
-
Forecast Delivery Schedule quantity = 20
-
Outbound Delivery proposal = 100
The user may need to manually adjust the delivery quantity during delivery creation.
Environment
SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition
Reproducing the Issue
-
Create a Sales Scheduling Agreement with a material and customer.
-
Maintain Forecast Delivery Schedule lines with specific quantities (e.g., 20 units).
-
Ensure multiple schedule lines or open quantities exist.
-
Create an Outbound Delivery for the scheduling agreement.
-
Observe the proposed delivery quantity in the outbound delivery.
Cause
The outbound delivery quantity is determined based on open, delivery-relevant forecast delivery schedule lines.
During delivery creation, the system may:
-
Consider multiple open schedule lines
-
Aggregate quantities within the selected delivery horizon or date range
As a result, the proposed delivery quantity may not correspond to a single forecast schedule line, but instead reflects the total open requirement.
Resolution
This is standard system behavior.
To manage or adjust the delivery quantity:
-
Review the open forecast delivery schedule lines and their quantities
-
Verify the delivery creation date or selection criteria
-
Manually adjust the delivery quantity in the outbound delivery if required
If a specific quantity is required per delivery:
-
Ensure schedule lines are structured accordingly
-
Control delivery creation timing and selection parameters
Additional Information
-
Forecast Delivery Schedule lines represent delivery requirements over time, not necessarily a 1:1 mapping to outbound deliveries.
-
The system is designed to optimize delivery creation by considering open requirements rather than enforcing strict one-to-one correspondence.
-
Manual adjustment during delivery creation is supported and expected where needed.
