3794858 - Internal Actual Control Transfer Date is not updatable via the Outbound Delivery API in S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition.

Symptom

You want to update the header-level field Internal Actual Control Transfer Date (the Actual Date under the Internal Transfer of Control Dates section, located in the Outbound Delivery Header → Shipment tab).

This field is typically encountered on Outbound Deliveries created from intercompany Sales Orders or advanced intercompany Stock Transport Orders (STO).

You are looking for a standard API to change this date but cannot find the field available for update.

Environment

SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition.

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Open an Outbound Delivery and switch to the Header view.
  2. Navigate to the Shipment tab → Internal Transfer of Control Dates section → Actual Date field.
  3. Attempt to update this field using the standard Outbound Delivery API.
  4. The field is not available as an updatable field in the API.

Cause

The Internal Actual Control Transfer Date is a standard, system-determined field.

It is not exposed as an updatable field in the standard Outbound Delivery API (API_OUTBOUND_DELIVERY_SRV).

The date is set automatically by the system as part of the Outbound Delivery control transfer process. 

Resolution

The Internal Actual Control Transfer Date cannot be changed via the standard Outbound Delivery API, as it is not part of the Outbound Delivery API’s updatable header fields.

This is standard system behavior: the date is determined automatically by the system.

If there is a business requirement to influence this date, please raise a separate inquiry so the underlying determination logic can be evaluated.
