It is possible to maintain a delivery calendar for each vendor. However, this calendar does not take into account that the transport days refer to working days.The calculation of the receipt date is always based on transport days (Purchase Transport Days) and the "Open Days" in the Shipping Calendar.
Example:
A supplier needs 3 days to deliver. However, no deliveries take place on Saturdays and Sundays. So if the shipping date is Thursday the receipt date is Tuesday.
The delivery calendar should work differently and the working days should be maintained via "Open Days" and the delivery days should be assigned via the "Closed for Pickup" functionality.

Feature: Supplier requested and confirmed shipment datesFeature Description Supplier requested and confirmed shipment dates enables you to do the following: - Determine the supplier's shipping calendar on the vendor and its subsequent default to the relevant document. - Determine the delivery transport days from the supplier to the receiving point. - Enhance the purchasing process through the incorporation of new Requested and Confirmed ship dates. - Consider the supplier's shipping calendar and transport days for the automatic calculation of supplier ship dates. This is a pretty good new feature, but it only works with calendar days while calculating the requested ship and receive date. It would be great if there was an option to select between calendar days and work days of a certain calendar. Either with the shipping calendar as as suggested in this idea or perhaps for example by using the calendar that is attached to the coverage group?

We appreciate you taking the time to create this input. While we do not have any plans at present to provide the capability requested by changing the supplier cofirmed and requested ship date configuration, we will though continue to monitor how much in demand such a change is.
