Documentation

Definition

Date as of which the vendor can supply the material.

Use

Together with the field "Available to", this field delimits the period in which the vendor supplies the material, e.g. antifreeze from 10.01 to 03.31.

The system checks whether the delivery date entered in the purchasing document falls within this period. If not, you will receive a warning message or an error message.

If you make use of this field, you do not have to maintain numerous source list entries.
