Summary :
The SAP note discusses ambiguities in the determination of the confirmation date in third-party and individual purchase order items, alongside the clarity issues surrounding the 'Date and quantity fixed' indicator. For third-party items, the system conducts backward scheduling from the requested delivery date to establish a release date, considering processing and delivery times. If this release date is viable, the confirmation date aligns with the requested delivery date, otherwise, it necessitates forward scheduling to calculate a realistic date. Individual purchase orders follow a similar logic but incorporate goods receipt processing time in the scheduling. The note suggests creating schedule lines in sales order items based on these dates. Additionally, the relevance of the fixed quantity indicator, which influences which material availability date is used for item delivery, is discussed.
