It should be possible to maintain a delivery calendar for each delivery site/warehouse and receiving site/warehouse.
In practice, warehouses are supplied according to a defined delivery calendar. Currently, the transport days are taken into account, but not the fact that no delivery is possible on certain days.
The planned transfer orders should take this date + the resulting transport days into account.When it comes to transport days, it should be taken into account that these depend on working days. For example, trucks are not allowed to drive on Saturday and Sunday.
Example:
Warehouse A supplies warehouse B via transfer orders. However, warehouse A does not deliver every day, but only on Tuesday (ship date) and Thursday (ship date). It takes 3 working days for the delivery to arrive at the site/warehouse..
Delivery from Warehouse A on Tuesday with delivery to location B on Friday.
Delivery from Warehouse A on Thursday with delivery to location B on Tuesday.
It would be ideal if the transport days were given a default mode of delivery for each shipping and receiving warehouse and this calendar (for each mode of delivery) was taken into account accordingly. In other words, the calculations would always be based on the possible shipping dates. This could actually be controlled in the same way as in the sales orders using "Closed for Pickup" options.
Comments
As I understand it now is that both the possible shipping date and the days the truck can drive is using the field Control and then if you close days that are not possible to ship the transportation lead time will not be calculated correct and if you have all days open for transportation, all days will also be possible to ship.My suggestion is to us the Control field for transport lead time calculation and Closed for pickup for shipping day, or even better put this calendar direct in the Transport days table and warehouse to warehouse combination. Then we don't need to handle all the different Mode of Delivery combinations. We would then have all setup needed direct on each WH to WH combination, both transportation lead time and the calendar for setting possible pick-up days and calculate transportation
