Dear Experts,

For PO and order confirmation, when I input delivery time, I want to set this time as vendor delivery time, and I want to find a filed for the transportation time and arrive time, how can?

If I correctly understand your requirement, you need to inform not only the vendor delivery time, but also another times??? this information is for actual, or PO confirmations?

Anyway, you may create different confirmation categories, so one confirmation will show vendor delivery time, another one will show transportation time, etc.

If your intention is to control the difference between planned times, and actual times, I will suggest to use inbound deliveries, and inbound shipments. That way, you will have all time and dates control that you need.

hope this helps, otherwise, please give some more information about your business requirement so we can understand your needs.

Lets make an example.

You order with a delivery date May 30. (the date you expect the material to arrive in your plant)

Your vendor confirms May 25 (are you sure that this is the vendors departure date ? )

Is this the case?

Hello,

Yes, this is my case.

Does your vendor gives you an ETA? if that's the case, just create your inbound delivery with the delivery date = Vendor Delivery date + shipping time

if you want to have all dates in your system, you can set your vendor delivery date as delivery transport planning date, your planed GR date as your Delivery Date, and then you will confirm actual GR date .

All these dates are in the processing tab of the delivery at header level.

Be aware that delivery date for an inbound delivery is supposed to be when is planned to be at your door.

Dear,

thanks for your kindly reply.

But I need a field I can maintain the shipping time for the vendor, then every time the z-programm can get the shipping time from this field, and add to delivery time.

the delivery time for PO item is also the time for arrive on our door?

the transportation time is only for checking or there will be other function?

If you need to track the whole inbound process, I would suggest you to use inbound transportation. Define the route, and you can confirm every inbound transportation leg. I.E. Port arrival confirmation, Port departure confirmation, arrival at your customs, customs clearance, land transportation to your door, etc.

if you don't need all these information, just create another confirmation type a "ZA" confirmation, and don't link it to any delivery type. It will be manually maintained. Then your Z program can get this information from your PO, and make any calculation that you need.

First define transportation planning point in LE enterprise structure,

then go to SPRO>Logistics Execution>Transportation>Shipments

you have to define a shipment type, and associate it with inbound shipments (define shipment type)

You have to define shipment relevancy for delivery types.

then you will able to create a shipment using transaction VT01, and select the deliveries to include in your shipment.

you can define routes, and route determination. In your route, you can define time for stages in the route.

This is very useful when you have a vendor, that consolidates many PO in a single shipment (containers, trucks, air, etc) Then your vendor send you a confirmation of all PO, related to a single bill of lading. Then you group your deliveries in a shipment, and you keep tracking of your shipment and not track each delivery.

You can also calculate shipment cost and include this value as a condition in your PO, so you will receive freight invoices based on your shipment document.

You can define also to post GR based on Shipment Status, and many other functionalities.

Hope this helps
