Documentation

Definition

Key that controls how the commitment quantities should be calculated per sales document type.

Use

The commitment date is calculated using the delivery time for releases to contracts with delivery times, or sales orders that refer to quotations containing delivery times. The committed quantity results from the agreed delivery time or the confirmed quantity, according to the calculation rule set here.

Dependencies

You can set the following calculation rules:

• A: Consider agreed delivery time
  Here, all required schedule lines are committed for the date that lies at the agreed distance from the delivery time, according to the date on which the order was placed. If the customer requests a later date, this can be confirmed. The confirmation does not affect the calculation. If you do not enter a delivery time, the system does not calculate a committed quantity.
  
• B: First confirmation date
  The committed quantity is calculated according to the first confirmed quantities. If a delivery time exists for the item, the system takes it into account, as in calculation rule A, and confirms the earlier date. The commitment date is recalculated if the material, quantity, first date, or delivery time change. The quantities confirmed then are valid once the document has been saved.
  
• C: First confirmation date
  Rule C is the same as calculation rule B but for new items. If you save a document again but the system can confirm more for the customer, the more favorable situation will be saved as the commitment. As in rule B, the commitment date will be recalculated if changes are made to the material, quantity, requested delivery date, or delivery time.
  
• No entry
  Commitment dates are not calculated or displayed
