Definition

Date for the calculation of the delivery time.

Use

Calculation of the delivery time is an element in the determination of a vendor's adherence to delivery dates (that is, the vendor's delivery timeliness, or on-time delivery performance) in MM Vendor Evaluation.

If it becomes known that the vendor can only deliver ordered goods some days later than originally stipulated, for instance, you can change the delivery date accordingly for materials planning and control purposes. However, the statistics-relevant delivery date remains unchanged.
As a result, the vendor's "on-time delivery performance" score worsens. At the same time, it is ensured that materials planning and control works on the basis of the right date.

Dependencies

The system inserts the delivery date into this field in the following cases:

  • You do not enter a statistical delivery date.
  • You change the delivery date, have not entered a statistical delivery date, and the PO or scheduling agreement delivery schedule has not yet been transmitted to the vendor.
