The document summarizes how goods receipts or invoices are distributed among existing schedule lines in a purchasing document. It explains that the distribution is based on comparing the creation date of the schedule line and the entry date of the goods receipt/invoice. If the schedule line was created before the goods receipt was entered, then its quantities can be distributed to that schedule line. The document provides examples to illustrate this distribution process.

1. When a goods receipt or invoice has been posted against a purchasing document, the quantities and values will be
distributed among the opened quantities of the existing schedule lines of the purchasing document. The opened
quantity of a schedule line is the difference between the quantity ordered and the quantity already assigned to this
schedule line.
The creation date of the schedule line - EKET-BEDAT and the system date when the goods receipt/invoice has
been entered; EKBE-CPUDT, have an important role during the quantity distribution process in the purchasing
statistics.
The creation date of the schedule line (EKET-BEDAT) is important because new schedule lines (EKET) can be
created at any moment in the purchasing document and it's also possible to create a schedule line with a delivery
date (EKET-EINDT) in the past or in the future. The entry date of the goods receipt/invoice (EKBE-CPUDT) is
important because you can post this document with a posting date that is not the same as the entry date. (In the past
or in the future). In order to make a correct distribution and to avoid that during the reconstruction process ( OLI3 -
RMCENEUA ) the distribution changes, before assigning the goods receipt/invoice quantity to a schedule line,
system first check if at the moment that a goods receipt/invoice has been posted, a schedule line has been already
created:
EKBE-CPUDT >= EKET-BEDAT
Since the creation date of the schedule line is not displayed in the purchasing document (only the delivery date) and
also the entry date of the goods receipt/invoice (only the posting date), it's normal that system assign the goods
receipt quantity in a way different than you are expecting.
In order to better understand the quantity distribution process, please always check the relevant dates:
EKET-BEDAT
EKBE-CPUDT
Example of distribution process:
1) A purchasing document has been created with the following schedule lines:
(EKET-BEDAT) (EKET-EINDT)
Creation date Delivery date Quantity Quantity received
01.04 01.04 10 0
01.04 10.04 10 0
a) For this document a goods receipt with quantity 15 is posted on 05.04 (EKBE-CPUDT) with posting date 05.04
(EKBE-BUDAT). The distribution result is the following:
Creation date Delivery date Quantity Quantity received
01.04 01.04 10 10
01.04 10.04 10 5
As you can check both schedule lines were created before the goods receipt has been posted. For this reason, it’s
possible to assign the quantity to both schedule lines.
b) A new goods receipt wit quantity 10 is posted on 20.04 (EKBE-CPUDT) with posting date 20.04 (EKBE-
BUDAT). The distribution result is the following:
Creation date Delivery date Quantity Quantity received
01.04 01.04 10 10
01.04 10.04 10 15
In this case there is an over delivery in the last schedule line.

2. c) For this purchasing document a new schedule line has been created
Creation date Delivery date Quantity Quantity received
01.04 01.04 10 10
01.04 10.04 10 15
21.04 15.04 5 0
You may expect a new distribution of the goods receipt quantity, but this will not occur as the schedule line has
been created after the goods receipt document has been entry in the system.
EKBE-CPUDT < EKET-BEDAT
20.04 < 21.04
2) A purchasing document has been created with the following schedule lines:
Creation date Delivery date Quantity Quantity received
01.04 01.04 10 0
01.04 10.04 10 0
a) For this document a goods receipt with quantity 15 is posted on 05.04 (EKBE-CPUDT) with posting date 05.04
(EKBE-BUDAT)
The distribution result is the following:
Creation date Delivery date Quantity Quantity received
01.04 01.04 10 10
01.04 10.04 10 5
As you can check both schedule lines were created before the goods receipt has been posted. For this reason is
possible to assign the quantity to both schedule lines.
b) A new goods receipt wit quantity 20 is posted on 15.04 (EKBE-CPUDT) with posting date 25.04 (EKBE-
BUDAT)
The distribution result is the following:
Creation date Delivery date Quantity Quantity received
01.04 01.04 10 10
01.04 10.04 10 25
The last schedule line will be overdelivered.
It's possible to assign the goods receipt quantity to the last schedule line, because the goods receipt has been posted
after the creation of the last schedule line.
c) For this purchasing document a new schedule line has been created on 20.04 (EKET-BEDAT) with delivery
date 20.04 (EKET-EINDT) and order quantity 10
Creation date Delivery date Quantity Quantity received
01.04 01.04 10 10
01.04 10.04 10 25
20.04 20.04 10 0

3. You may expect the last goods receipt quantity to be assign to the new created schedule line, but this will not
happen because the schedule line has been created after the goods receipt document has been entry in the system.
It doesn't matter that the posting date of the goods receipt is greater than the schedule line creation date. The check
is made with the entry date of the goods receipt against the creation date of the schedule line.
EKBE-CPUDT < EKET-BEDAT
15.04 < 20.04
