Summary :
Different availability dates in R/3 and APO can result from discrepancies in setup regarding goods receipt processing times, scheduling calendars, and resource handling times. In R/3, these times can be specified on the product master or outline agreements, while in APO, they are maintained solely on the product master. Discrepancies also arise from variations in the shipping calendar between APO and R/3, misalignments in time zone settings, and the timing of goods receipt processing at non-working hours. The offered solutions include aligning the master data across APO and R/3, ensuring identical goods receipt processing times, and synchronizing calendars and time zones to minimize differences in availability dates.

Key words :
maintain identical goods receipt processing times, goods receipt processing times, select 'tools - livecache check', maintain similar master data, goods receipt processing falls, goods receipt processing begins, goods receipt processing time, achieving identical availability dates, start transaction /sapapo/res01, goods receipt processing
