General note for: Firm shipment (FS), In transit (ITI) and Sales Order book (SOB) flows:

• In case of Consignment flow, Receiving site code might be transcoded from "Consignment plant" to "Shipto code". More info in this section Consignment plant -> Shipto transco
• In case of non standard SAP flow (or "Unlinked flow", or flow "SO - PO"), we will use the BW table ZMATVENDOR, which could affect FS / ITI / SOB files content. See example below for In transit (in the "in transit" part). For more info about ZMATVENDOR, please consult ZMATVENDOR section.

Backorder

Intransit inventory in receipt date

We have 2 types of flows.

1/ standard flow with link between the 2 Plants (shipping and receiving): We will have only one Purchase Order

SAP Transaction MD04 to check Stock/Requirements List please check the Individual List tab

We take the Date and Qty from the PO:

• If there are some confirmations, we take it as first

• If no confirmation, we take the ones from the Schedule

2/ Not standard flow with unlinked Purchase Order and Sales Order

For this kind of flow, we need a Matrix in SAP BW updated =>  "ZMATVENDOR".

SAP process vs Dynasys data:

• The receiving site is placing a Purchase order in SAP with a Solvay Vendor code - At this stage we have nothing in Dynasys but we can display this information as "Internal Pruchase Order".

• The Shipping site will create a Sales Order in SAP once they received the PO with a Solvay customer code - At this stage we have data under "Firm Shipment" field

=> It is relevant to have Sales Order created regularly in SAP

• The shipping site will make the GI - At this stage the Firm Shipment is becoming an In-Transit

=> We take the Outbound Delivery to define the In Transit receipt date in Dynasys

• In Dynasys we do not check the Goods Receipt:
  • If delivery date is past but PO still opened- we will see the data in Dyansys as Actuals Receipt
  • If delivery date is on the future, but PO received - we will see the data in Dyansys as In Transit
