Delivery Documents
Example 3: Material is Completely Deliverable Later, Partial Delivery in Advance
In example 3, your customer also orders 20 units; however, he wants the fastest
possible delivery — partial deliveries are permitted in this case. Enter your sales
order. Because it is the same initial situation as in example 2, the material is not
available on the required delivery date. The system now calculates the best option
based on the partial delivery flag and the earliest available quantity. The result is
shown in Figure 5.84.

Figure 5.84 Result of Example 3 with Newly Calculated Availability Based on Partial Deliveries
Two schedule lines are generated in the sales order, each with two newly calculated,
different confirmation dates. You can send the customer the materials that
are available earlier as a partial delivery.
Example 4: Material Available within the Replenishment Lead Time
In the previous example, you have switched on the consideration of replenishment
lead times in the SAP system. You can set the replenishment lead time of
your materials in the material master. This lead time depends on various factors
(see Section 5.8.2). Figure 5.85 shows the results of the availability check under
consideration of the replenishment lead time.
