Delivery schedule confirmed by vendor

Hi experts,
Business scenario: " For material planning purpose, The SAP PO would require delivery schedule confirmation from supplier to be used as a PO firm items when the PO is released. The PO items are critical since they will be used as material requirement planning to fullfill shop floor production"
Can any one let me know what is BAPI FM Delivery Schedule Confirmation by vendor in MM module or any other suitable method .
Thank for advance,

In SAP, there is a functionality called "confirmation control" which we can use to control the confirmations and acknowledgement from vendors related to price, delivery date and quantity.
You can setup the "confirmation control key" in PO as per your requirement whether you want to just record the acknowledgement or maintain inbound delivery or both.

Delivery Schedule Confirmation inbound

Hi experts,
Business scenario: For material planning purpose, The SAP PO would require delivery schedule confirmation from supplier to be used as a PO firm item when the PO is released. The PO items are critical since they will be used as material requirement planning to fulfill shop floor production.
Can any one let me know what is the BAPI or any other method to Update PO Quantity Update Deliv. Date using custom program.

Hello Duke,
Thank you very much for getting back to me. Yes, our configuration had been maintained properly as defined.
IMG>MM>Purchasing>Confirmations>Set Up Confirmation Control
1. Select the Confirmation Control Key
2. Goto Confirmation Sequence
We had set up AB confirmation in sequence 1 and LA in sequence 2.
The problem happens only when the delivery schedule date or PO line delivery date is earlier than or equal to the AB confirmed delivery date. When this happens, the system does not look at the cumulative quantity between the AB confirmation and LA confirmation. Instead, the system treats them as two independent events resulting in an overconfirmed situation.
Please see the following example:
<b>Scenario 1</b>
If 1000 ea was ordered with Delivery schedule date is 11/20/2007 with the following confirmation:
                                                                       Quantity reduced
AB Confirmation     300 ea    11/19/2007             0
LA Confirmation     300 ea    12/20/2007             0
Total ATP available quantity is 600 ea (over-confirming)
<b>Scenario 2</b>
If 1000 ea was ordered with Delivery schedule date is 11/26/2007 with the following confirmation:
                                                                       Quantity reduced
AB Confirmation     300 ea    11/19/2007             300
LA Confirmation     300 ea    12/20/2007             0
Total ATP available quantity is 300 ea (correct quantity)
Please kindly advise if there is any documented SAP logic that explain this system behavior. Thank you very much.

Vendor Delivery schedules

Dear Experts,
We are generating delivery schedules thru MRP .The Schedule agreement doc type is LP.
No JIT or FRC schedules is applicable as the delivery schedules are generated through MRP.
now how can i release these delivery schedules to the vendor without workflow.Because vendor is not having SAP.Also client need details of the delivery schedules once sent to the vendor.
Pls guide me in this matter.
Regards,
Anil.

Hi
You can take the print out by using transaction code ME9E and send it to the vendor if the message set up is there for message type LPET.
Hope it helps.
Thanks/Karthik

Scheduling agreement, unnecessary delivery schedule lines

Hello
We use Scheduling agreements for purchasing spare parts. The MRP run checks the warehouse requirements and creates delivery schedule line to scheduling agreement.
Now the MRP run creates unnecessary delivery schedule lines to scheduling agreement if the earlier created delivery schedule line's delivery date has been changed manually.
For example,
Today the MRP run finds requirement for one article and creates the delivery schedule line, where delivery date is 2.9.2008 (determined from articles basic data).
The Vendor confirms the delivery date as 3.10.2008 and the purchaser changes manually (transaction ME38) the delivery date to delivery schedule line accordingly and prints the created message.
The next MRP run creates new delivery schedule line, where delivery date is again 2.9.2008.
now there are two open delivery schedule lines for this article with delivery dates 3.10.2008 and 2.9.2008.
Why the MRP run does not notice the existing delivery schedule line with the new delivery date 3.10.2008?
we have changed delivery dates manually several years and this has never happened before.
could you please help me to resolve this.
Thanks in advance,
Srikanth

In addition to the above post,
as you changed the date manually from 2nd to 3rd....
so there are was no report for 2nd generated ulitmately...and if generated it was changed...right...
so when you again run the mrp...the system will generate one more pr for the same article....
this ultimately happens because of the set del dates in the MMR as i told above..
Hope it helps..

Delivery Schedule (Add in Remarks)

Hi,
We have an issue on the delivery schedule. Currently, user would like
to add in some remarks / note into the delivery schedule for clearer
clarification to the vendor on the confirmed delivery date & qty.
This remarks is helpful to them especially when there is changes on the
delivery qty / date. We tried to explore if there is any function in
adding item text but not able to find under customizing.
Also, tried to use the function on "Field Relevant to Printout of
Changes" for Delivery Schedule in order to highlight the change on the
document during printout. However, it's not successful.
Anybody know whether is this the restriction from
standard SAP function? If yes, can we have customized field in Delivery
Schedule for Item Text? How can we do this? Via screen layout? Anybody know how to do this? Appreciate your prompt response!
Thanks!

Hi Yagnesh,
Thanks for the reply!
May i know the pop up box you mean is triggered during what time? Is it during ME38 - Delivery Schedule maintenance? Or during output trigger @ t-code ME9E? Could I know about the details of which user exit you're referring to?
Is it really not possible to maintain item text / remarks into the delivery schedule? Thanks!
Regards,
Michelle Low

MRP keeps pushing delivery schedules out, refusing to firm them (ME33L)

I hope someone has seen something like this before and can let us know where to look. MRP keeps pushing our delivery schedules out even though it is recommending that they be rescheduled in. What we'd like to happen is for MRP to leave these schedules alone so that they would move inside the time fence and be firmed automatically. Here is what is happening:
Part X, MRP type P1, firming type 1, MRP group blank. Planning time fence 05/07/2007, available quantity -20.
Three schedule lines exist for 05/07/2007, two for 10 and another for 30.
MRP will run tonight. Processing Key = NEUPL, purch req = 2, sched lines = 3, MRP list = 1, planning mode = 2, scheduling = 2
Tomorrow, the planning time fence will be at 05/08/2007 and the three schedule lines will move out to 05/08/2007. The won't move inside the planning time fence and firm up. They SHOULD BE 05/07/2006 and firmed!
We originally thought that we may have to create a release with ME84 before these would firm, but it made no difference. They still won't firm unless someone manually changes the date on each and every schedule line.
Does anyone know what we can change or run to get these schedules to firm up instead of having them pushed out continually?

Hello Randy,
thanks for the update. I didnt remenber this customizing indicator when posting.
Still wondering why planning matters here. I think it should have the same result for all planning modes. Of course planning mode 3 in general should be avoided for performance reasons.
For interested observers I attach the description for this setting in MRP customizing.
Regards, Martin
Indicator: Only Firm Transmitted Schedule Lines
In this step, you can set an indicator which is used to set only those schedule lines that have been transferred to the vendor.
You can firm schedule lines within the planning time fence (in the same way as planned orders or purchase requisitions) according to the master schedule item firming logic. The planning time fence is a number of days that is calculated into the future starting from the current date. Therefore, the last date of the planning time fence changes every day.
In the firming logic, existing schedule lines are also firmed as soon as they move into the planning time fence.
Schedule lines that lie outside the planning time fence and whose quantity is adjusted in the planning run due to a change of the requirements quantity are firmed with the new quantity as soon as the schedule lines move into the planning time fence.
The schedule lines are transferred to the vendor for the amount recorded in the stock/requirements list at the time of the data transfer.
If you only want to firm the schedule lines in the planning time fence that have been checked and transferred to the vendor, you can use the indicator, Only firm transmitted schedule lines. By selecting this indicator, the system only firms the schedule lines that have been sent to the vendor.
For schedule lines whose quantity has changed and which have moved into the planning time fence, the following occurs if this indicator has been set: if the MRP controller/purchaser does not confirm the procurement plan by sending the changed quantities to the vendor, the schedule line quantities that were sent to the vendor in the previous data transfer are firmed within the planning time fence. This guarantees that the system cannot firm any quantities that have not been checked. It also means that the vondor does not receive any messages for unchecked schedule line quantities.
Activities
Define the indicator per MRP group and allocate this MRP group to the materials for which this indicator is to be valid.
Further notes
The message transfer is a purchasing function. You can find it in the purchasing menu, Outline agreement -> Scheduling agreement -> Messages -> Print/transmit.

Schedule agreement - delivery schedule by IDoc

Hi Experts,
I have an issue with IDoc types Delins/Deljit. If customer send us a new delivery schedule for next weeks, the old lines are deactivated. System replace old lines instead of appending them.
I found in documentation the field in Idoc which should help me out, but I'm not sure how it should works.
E1EDP10 - LABKY:
1 = Append, if FST02 = C
2 = Replace, if FST02 = D
Needs confirmation that Company X does not resend undelivered schedule lines
What is FST02? Where should I maintain this field?
Thanks in advance!

Hi Anil ,
Goto Transaction NACE , Select Application EL and then Click on O/p Types.
Select your o/p and click on Processing routines.
Make a copy of medium 1 and change it to 5. The program , Form , Form routine would remain the same.
Maintain condition records with medium 5 in MN10.
Ensure that email address exists in Vendor Master.
Check with ur Basis to make sure that the setting are done in Transaction SCOT for sending document via PDF.
Create a new Agreement and test it.

Why GR performed on MRP generated delivery schedule line (unconfirmed)?

Hi Gurus,
Need some advice from you all, I have a scenario here which MRP generated the delivery schedule lines for material A on 10.08.2011 - 124 KG.
User review the MRP result and didnt confirm the line, but she added in manual line on 11.08.2011 - 124KG.
On 11.08.2011, warehouse performed GR on the delivery schedule lines. It's found that GR was actually updated into the delivery schedule line generated by MRP (10.08.2011) and not the manual line confirmed by user. (11.08.2011).
User is questioning now why the GR able to be performed on MRP generated line which had not been confirmed? Any guru can share with me the fact and good note regarding this on MRP? Thanks!
Michelle

Hi,
Since we are talking here about schedule lines, these are open for GR when the delivery schedule is send to the vendor.
In your case you had a quantity open for 10/08/2011 generated by MRP, then the user added manually another line on 11/08/2011. After this the user will have transmitted the delivery schedule which makes that both the items where marked as transmitted and thus open for GR.
Now when the goods come in the system will post against the first open schedule line that is found until this is fulfilled and then switch to the next open line at the moment of GR. So this is why the GR was put against the MRP generated schedule line as this one was the one with the earlier date.

Peter

GR Proposed Quantity against delivery schedules in PO

Hi All,
Is there any configuration setting so that while doing Goods Receipt, the system proposed quantity should be against the different delivery schedules maintained in delivery schedules tab in PO.
Regards,
vamshi

Hi,
When we send a PO Delivery schedule, its the requiremet which we specify to the vendor but vendor needs to confirm on that, thats why the inboud delivery process is helpful there, because we can't control on baisis of PO what qty is being sent by vendor, delivery schedule is just an info to the vendor, but the ref doc for that is inbound delivery wherein it confirms the vendor is sending a particular qty on a particular date.
The other option is to use scheduling agreement schedule lines, please look for options in your design.

ME2L Delivery Schedule Showing Fully Delivered Lines

Hey,
We are experiencing this issue on a SAP 4.7c system that we support.
Our business are trying to generate a report, every month, that is sent to vendors, of all the purchase orders that the business are expecting them to fill. To do this the business user uses ME2L report per vendor, only selecting the Schedule Agreements documents, hitting the calendar button (Delivery Schedule), exporting the resulting output to Excel, using a formula to identify the lines which have a GR value less than the Scheduled Qty value and sending these onto the vendor as a notification to the that these are the orders that the business have marked as outstanding.
The issue arose when the business cancelled lines on Scheduling Agreement 5500000073 by going into MD04 and deleting the requirement for vendor 5033760 and reassigned those requirements to a new Agreement 5500000053 for vendor 5000259.
However when you run the process above the deleted lines still show up on the report and you believe this should not be the case and never was the case.
What process to accurately identify on SAP, schedule line items, that have not being fully Goods Receipted and/or cancelled so they can be sent to the vendor?
Many thanks for any help,
Colm

Hi Jurgen,
Apologies for the delay, I was away on leave.
We use selection parameters WE101 and that correctly brings us back only open orders on the selection screen, however when we click the Delivery Schedule button it displays lines that have been fully Goods Receipted.
For example, if I have a PO with 3 lines, Lines 1 and 3 have been fully received and line 2 has only been partly received.
I run ME2L with the selection parameter WE101 and the report only displays line 2. Which is correct.
However when I click the delivery schedule button I will be shown the entire history of that line, including scheduled quantites that were fully goods receipted.
What I would like to see is only lines where the scheduled quantity is greater than the goods receipted quantity.
I hope this makes sense, thanks for your help,
Regards,
Colm

Schedule Line(Delivery Schedule) generation stopped

Dear Experts,
We are using Scheduling Agreeements to procure materials from Vendor.We are using MRP(type PD) to generate our requirements.We have noticed that ,for a Schedule Agreement- MRP generates Delivery Schedules accordingly,but if user will try to interven the process by entering a manual schedule line with some quantity,and Fix Indicator is getting fixed,after that MRP is not able to generate Schedule Lines,henceforth.
We had done the same things earlier,but MRP was able to generate Schedule Lines even after manual intervention by user.We have not maintained Fix indicator in Source List also and the particular material and the Agreement both have been marked as MRP relevant against that Vendor in Source List.
If we will remove the open delivery schedules having Fix indicator fixed ,after that we run MRP,then the Schedule Lines are getting generated,but for those Schedule Lines(Manual or thorough MRP) having Fixed Indicator fixed and have GRN transaction completed,we would not be able to delete those and also MRP will not be able to generate Delivery Schedules.Please advice what is the reason behind this and share the full concept of Fixed Indicator against the same?
Regards,
Soumick

It looks we encountered very similar problem,one item line in our Scheduling Agreeements can't be driven by MRP MD02/MD41,but if we add another same line item under this SA, this new line can be driven by MD02,and generated delivery schedule line.
I don't know why. Please give me some light! Thanks!

*MRP unable to create Delivery Schedule Lines in MM Scheduling Agreement*

Hi Experts,
I need your help...
The issue is, in-spit of maintaining Source List with an u201CScheduling Agreement with item No.u201D & u201CSource List Usage in MRPu201D as 2 (Record relevant to MRP. Sched. lines generated automatically), MRP run does not generate Schedule Lines, instead PRs are created.
Please help me to understand such behavior and fix the issue as the requirement is to generate Schedule Lines only.
Thanks,
Pratap

Hello
Please check
1) Source List maintained properly in terms of Material # ; plant # ; proper POrg ; Schd Agr # and line item# ; proper validity date & MRP relevant indicator
2) Please also check Quata arrangement if you are using. whether % is maintained correctly against the vendor
3) MD03 , Delivery schedules- should be 3
4) check your planning horizon whether it is NETCH or not
5) check material master -MRP2 view, Procurement type is F- external procurement, schedule margin key if you are using
if everything above is set, then I feel it should work
Also please verify-
lot size, safety stock and the corresponding prod volume for MRP input v/s the stock available in MMBE
example.
MD04, we can see the open del lines.
if SS = 50 , prod volume is 150
1) if MMBE shows 200 then it wont generate any schedule.
2) if MMBE is 180 and your lotsize is 40, then after MD03, you will have a schedule line of 40 (provided if everything is set properly)
Please ensure there are NO open delivery lines . if you find such in MD04, then please close open delivery lines
in calculation of MRP, system considers such open delivery lines are going to receive and no additional schedule line generated even after MRP run
thanks

Delivery based on qty specified in delivery schedule in Scheduling Agreemnt

Hi,
We have a scenario where we need to create delivery based on the quantities entered in the delivery schedule in Scheduling Agreement, eg.
on 10.11.2011 qty to be delivered is 10
on 15.11.2011 qty to be delivered is 20
We have sufficient stock and the entire qty of 30 (10+20) is confirmed. Now when we create the delivery on 10.11.2011 the system is delivering the entire qty of 30, whereas the requirement is that on 10.11.2011 only qty 10 should be proposed by the system in delivery. Please help.
Regards,
Abhishek.

Hi,
1.Please check is there two schedule lines are present.
2. Check the expected delivery date/check the from to date for delivery creation.
or
you can change the expected delivery date between 10-14 and check it should work.
