    Forward Scheduling vs Backward Scheduling

    Forward scheduling is a done if no product is available on the material


    availability date calculated by backward scheduling. The system does an
    availability check to determine the first possible date when the product
    will be available. This new material availability date forms the starting
    point for scheduling the remaining activities. The loading time, pick/pack
    time, transit time, and transportation lead time is added to the new
    material availability date to calculate the confirmed delivery date.
    Backward scheduling is the calculation of deadline dates: the arrival
    time at the customer site is calculated as the earliest possible goods
    receipt time at the customers unloading point on the requested delivery
    date. All four of the delivery and transportation scheduling lead times are
    subtracted from the customer’s requested delivery date to determine if
    this date can be met.
    The transit time, loading time, and pick/pack time are subtracted
    from the customer’s requested delivery date to calculate the required
    material availability date.
    The system calculates backward scheduling as follows:
    Requested delivery date minus transit time = Goods issue date
    Goods issue date minus loading time = Loading date
    Loading date minus transportation lead time = Transportation
    scheduling date
    Loading date minus pick/pack time = Material availability date
    By default, the system will calculate delivery dates the closest day, taking
    into consideration the working days of the shipping point and a rounding
    profile. In this case, the system assumes a 24 hour work day and lead
    times can be entered in days up to 2 decimal points. This is referred to as
    daily scheduling.
    Precise scheduling calculated down to the day, hour and minute are
    supported. This allows the scheduling of a delivery within a single day. It
    is activated by maintaining the working hours for a particular shipping
    point.
    Backward scheduling is always carried out first. If the material availability date
    or transportation scheduling date is calculated to be in the past, the
    system must then use forward scheduling.

    From scheduling in sap point of view following dates/time are important:


    1. Confirmed delivery date: date on which system confirms good receipt
    for customer

    2. Requested delivery date (RDD): as requested by customer

    3. Goods issue date (GI date): date on which goods leaves delivering
    plant
    4. Loading date: at this date picking and packing should be completed
    and goods are ready for loading.
    5. Transportation planning date: at this date we should start arranging
    transportation.
    6. Material availability date (MAD): at this date material is in stock for
    picking and packing.
    7. Order date: at this date customer places order.

    Transit time (D23 – difference in RDD and GI date) – Time needed for
    goods to reach customer. It comes from route
    Loading time (D34 – difference in GI date and loading date): Time needed
    for goods loading. It comes from shipping point
    Pick/pack time (D46): Time needed for picking/packing. it comes from
    shipping point
    Lead time (D45): Time required for arranging transportation. It comes
    from route
    System starts from customer RDD and find out MAD and transportation
    planning date. Delivery must be created on earliest of these dates.

    If order date is before these dates (both), customer RDD can be


    confirmed.
    In this case confirmed delivery date and RDD are same

    And as a result a single schedule line is created

    If order date is after any one of these dates (MAD and transportation
    planning date), customer RDD can’t be confirmed.
    In this case system takes order date as base date and calculates
    confirmed delivery date and this date will be ahead of customer RDD.
    As a result, system will give two schedule lines; one for customer RDD
    with zero confirm qty and other for new confirmed delivery date with
    confirmed qty

    How it works
    Scheduling works in two ways backward and forward Scheduling. When
    you create an Item, the system carries out delivery scheduling backward.
    If the material availability date lies in the past, the system performs then
    performs a forward scheduling.
    Requested delivery Date -> Material availability date
