Clarification on Delay Column Calculation in Monitor Order Progress Report

[SAPSupport]

Hi,

I hope you're doing well.

I would like to gain a better understanding of how the delay columns are calculated in the Monitor Order Progress Report. Could you please provide additional details on the calculation methodology and any relevant factors affecting these values?

Looking forward to your insights.

Thanks and best regards.

Hi,

Column Total Delay: Own Delay + Delay of Lower Levels

The total delay of a low-level code is the sum of the own delay of a receipt element and the cumulative maximum delay of the low-level codes below it.

Example

Assembly 1 consists of the three raw parts A, B, C. For the purchase requisition of A there is no delay. B is delayed by 2 days. For C, a delay of 3 days has been determined. For the low-level code of the raw parts, this results in a delay of 3 days. The receipt element of the assembly is delayed by 2 days.
The total delay for assembly 1 is calculated as follows:

Total delay = 2 days (own delay) + 3 days (maximum delay of raw parts) = 5 days.
 
Column Levels Delay: Cumulative Delay of Lower Levels

The delay of lower low-level codes is cumulated and the maximum delay is passed on to the low-level code above.

Column Own Delay: Own Delay of a Receipt Element.

Shows the delay of the receipt element.

The own delay of a receipt element is calculated in dependency on the type of receipt element and the relevant situation as follows:

Start date of receipt element lies in the past

Delay = today - start date

This formula is used in the case of purchase requisitions, planned orders and simulation orders.

Availability date/time of receipt element lies in the past

If you have chosen the optimistic approach in the profile, the system uses the following formula:

Delay = today - availability date

If you have chosen the pessimistic approach in the profile, the delay is calculated as follows:

Delay = today - start date

This formula is used for scheduling agreement delivery schedule lines, stock transfer reservations, run schedule quantities, production orders, process orders, maintenance orders, networks, QM inspection lots, purchase order delivery schedule lines, shipping notifications, forecast delivery schedules and JIT delivery schedules.

Availability date of receipt element is later than the requirement date of the requirement.

Delay = availability date - requirement date

This formula is used for all types of receipt element.

Delay on the basis of actual data (confirmations)

Delay at operation level = actual end date of last finally confirmed operation - planned end date of operation

Delay at order level = maximum delay

Here the system checks whether the delay at operation level or the delay at order header level is greater and adopts the larger value.

This formula is used for production orders, process orders, and networks.

Thanks and regards.
