This workflow card is designed to verify that confirmed delivery dates on invoices or shipping documents align with the accepted delivery dates defined in a master data lookup table. By comparing these dates, it helps ensure compliance with agreed delivery schedules and enhances supply chain reliability.
Operator
Description: Defines the condition for comparing the confirmed delivery date to the accepted delivery date.
Options:
Is: Confirms that the delivery date matches the accepted delivery date in the master data.
Is Not: Ensures that the delivery date does not match the accepted delivery date in the master data.
Master Data Table Lookup
Description: Specifies the reference table containing accepted delivery dates for comparison.
Detail: The table is defined by the Master Data Table parameter and may include additional metadata such as order numbers or delivery regions.
Date Comparison: The system compares the confirmed delivery date from the invoice or shipping document to the accepted delivery date in the specified master data lookup table.
Action Execution: Based on the comparison result, the card can trigger follow-up actions such as notifications.
To configure this card, users select the field representing the confirmed delivery date in the document and specify the master data lookup table containing the accepted delivery dates. An operator is then chosen to define how the two dates should be compared (e.g., Is or Is Not).
An invoice lists a confirmed delivery date of June 10th, while the master data lookup table specifies an accepted delivery date of June 15th. Using the Is Not operator, the card flags the discrepancy for review, allowing the logistics team to investigate the cause and adjust schedules accordingly.
The "Confirmed Delivery Date vs. Accepted Delivery Date" workflow card helps organizations maintain adherence to agreed-upon delivery schedules by automating the comparison of confirmed and accepted delivery dates. This proactive approach to delivery management enhances operational efficiency, reduces delays, and fosters better collaboration across the supply chain.
