3780118 - Outbound Delivery Saved with Past Planned Goods Issue (GI) Date in S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition.

Outbound Deliveries are saved with a Planned Goods Issue (GI) date in the past.

SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

1. Open the Create Outbound Delivery app from the SAP Fiori Launchpad.
2. Enter the Shipping Point and Selection Date, then choose Execute.
3. From the list of due deliveries, select the relevant Sales Order and choose Create Delivery.
4. In the delivery header, set the Planned GI Date to a date in the past.
5. Save the document.
6. The system displays a warning message: "Goods issue date is later than delivery date".
7. Ignore the warning and confirm the save.
8. The Outbound Delivery ABC is created with a past Planned GI Date.(ABC is an example of document ID).

To verify an existing affected document:

1. Open the Display Outbound Delivery app from the SAP Fiori Launchpad.
2. Enter the Outbound Delivery ABC and execute.
3. Navigate to Menu → Go to → Header → Shipment to view the Planned GI Date and Delivery Date.
4. Open the Administration tab to check the document creation date and time.
5. Compare the dates: the Planned GI Date and Delivery Date are earlier than the creation date.

This is the expected standard behavior. The past-date check is delivered as a warning, not an error, so the document can still be saved if the user ignores it. 

Additionally, when the Planned GI Date is manually changed on an existing Outbound Delivery, the Delivery Date is not automatically recalculated. This is standard behavior by design: delivery scheduling is performed at document creation, and subsequent manual date changes are not cascaded, allowing users to reflect actual operational conditions without overriding their input.

1. Raise user awareness to carefully review and act upon warning messages displayed at save, rather than bypassing them. 
2. If a stricter control is required, consider implementing a Custom Logic (BAdI) through In-App Extensibility to convert the warning into an error, preventing users from saving the document when the Planned GI Date is in the past.
3. As an additional option, feel free to raise your requirement with SAP by submitting an Improvement Request on SAP Customer Influence for potential inclusion in a future release.
