Outline agreement or automatic schedule from scheduling agreement
Hello Master's,
Plz find the below workflow which will brief u abt the complete process;-
1.User raises indent(me51n) and then releases(me54n) else as per our MRP, indent/PR gets generated automatically.
2. Standard Practice is that we invite offers, negotiate and place order (me21n) else f we have rate contract for any item we go for direct ordering (me21n) and then get it released (me29n)
For around 20-30k material codes we have rate contract finalized with various suppliers for a period of time.
When we find any indent/pr falling into this category, we dont invite offer but go for ordering as per the finalized price. The price is maintained in excel or pdf format.
Problem is we want to map material codes with vendor and rates associated with the contract.
For this either we have to go for outline agreement(me31k) of scheduling agreement(me31l) so that whenever any indent/PR gets generated in this category, order/delivery schedule will be generated automatically in SAP.
Points in which i need help from you:-
1. How to generate automatic po from outline agreement or automatic schedule from scheduling agreement.
2. complete understanding of the difference between outline agreement and scheduling agreement.
Hi Nilson,
The data contained within the global outline agreement is distributed as purchasing contracts or scheduling agreements to the backend systems of the release-authorized purchasing organizations of the relevant corporate group. These purchasing organizations can then use the purchasing contracts or scheduling agreements according to the terms agreed centrally within the global outline agreement.
For more details.

How are deliveries automatically created from scheduling agreement?
How are deliveries automatically created from the schedule line of the scheduling agreement? Can anybody explain this step by step? Can we use the code VL10BATCH for this purpose? If we can, how is this code used?
Thanks in advance.hi
A customer scheduling agreement is an outline agreement with the customer containing delivery quantities and dates. These are then entered as schedule lines in a delivery schedule. You can either create schedule lines when you create the scheduling agreement or you can create them later.
You fulfill a scheduling agreement by creating the deliveries in the schedule as they become due. You process deliveries for a scheduling agreement in exactly the same way as you process a normal delivery. After you have carried out the delivery, the system updates the Delivered quantity field in the scheduling agreement item with the delivery quantity.
The scheduling agreement is used as a basis for delivering a material. The customer sends in scheduling agreement releases, referred to as delivery schedules, at regular intervals to release a quantity of the material.
Document Types
To configure document types for scheduling agreements, choose Sales -> Sales Documents -> Sales Document Header -> Define sales document types in Customizing for Sales and Distribution.
The R/3 System contains the following document types for component suppliers:
LZ - Scheduling agreement with delivery schedules (no external agents)
LZM - Scheduling agreement with delivery orders
LK - Scheduling agreement with delivery schedules (external agents)
ED - Delivery by external agent (consignment issue)
EDKO - External agent correction
RZ - Scheduling agreement returns (no external agents)
KAZU - Consignment pick-up for external agents
KRZU - Consignment returns for external agents
Item Categories
To configure item categories for scheduling agreements, choose Sales -> Sales Documents -> Sales Document Item -> Define item categories in Customizing for Sales and Distribution.
The system determines the following item categories for the related document types in
documents containing materials with item category group NORM:
Item category LZN for scheduling agreement type LZ
Item category LZMA for scheduling agreement type LZM
Item category LKN for scheduling agreement type LK
Item category KEN for document type ED
Item category EDK for positive corrections (or the manual alternative EDK1 for
negative corrections) for document type EDKO
Item category REN for document type RZ
Item category KAN for document type KAZU
Item category KRN for document type KRZU
Schedule Line Categories
To configure schedule line categories for scheduling agreements, choose Sales -> Sales Documents -> Schedule lines -> Define or Assign schedule line categories in Customizing for Sales and Distribution.
The R/3 System contains the following schedule line categories for component suppliers:
L1, BN, L2, and CN for item category LZN
E4, E0, E5, and BN for item category LKN
L2 for item category LZMA (standard for delivery order processing)
Schedule Line Types
To configure schedule line types for scheduling agreements, choose Sales -> Sales Documents -> Scheduling Agreements with Delivery Schedules -> Define schedule line types in Customizing for Sales and Distribution.
Creating Scheduling Agreements
To create a scheduling agreement with delivery schedules:
1. In the Sales menu http://Ext. choose Scheduling agreement ->Create.
2. Enter scheduling agreement type LK (standard) or LZ (external agents) and the
relevantorganizational data.
3. Choose ENTER.
4. Enter the following data:
Sold-to or ship-to party number
Purchase order or closing number
Material or customer material number
You can use the Description field to identify the scheduling agreement. For
example,
you could enter the model year for a particular production series.
The system allows up to 35 digits for a customer material number.
Rounding quantity
Usage
Choose Goto -> Header -> Sales to enter the usage at header level, or Goto ->
Item-> Sales A to enter it at item level. The system proposes usage S, for series, as default in both cases.
Planning indicator
Choose Goto -> Header ->Sales.
Target quantity
Mark an item and choose Goto -> Item -> Sales A
Partners
For scheduling agreements with external agents , choose Goto -> Header
->Partners to enter the external agent as forwarding agent and special stock partner
on the partner function screen.
5. Create a delivery schedule
Mark an item in the scheduling agreement and choose Goto -> Item -> <Delivery
schedule>. Enter:
A delivery schedule number and date
The cumulative quantity received by the customer
The last delivery confirmed by the customer
A schedule line with date, time, and quantity
To enter additional data in the delivery schedule, choose DlvSch.Hdr (delivery schedule header).
configuration:
img->SD->Sales->sales document->scheduling agreements with delivery schedules->

Process chain: how to automatically remove from schedule?
Hi All,
Is there a way to automatically remove a process chain from schedule when it has failed?
Thanks,
NatalieI guess the easiest way is to access RSPC transaction and then remove it from schedule.
--> execution tab --> remove from schedule.
you can leave the process chain not active also, if it's triggered by an event, this event will not start it (if you dont want to delete or change trigger job) -
Dates and quantities copied from Scheduling Agreement to Delivery Order
Hi everybody,
we're experiencing a problem with copying control for dates/quantities between Scheduling Agreement and Delivery Order.
If we define a Forecast Delivery Schedule with more lines/dates into a Scheduling agreement, when I create a Delivery Order with reference to a specific date the system always copies the first forecast delivery schedule date, disregardful the date specified in the selection criteria for delivery creation and with the fact that this could have already been carried out.
Here's an example:
Forecast Delivery Schedule into Scheduling agreement:
(Date) 12.03.07 (Quantity) 10 TO
(Date) 13.03.07 (Quantity) 12 TO
(Date) 14.03.07 (Quantity) 15 TO
When delivery has to be created with reference to Scheduling Agreement, the system doesn't about the date specified in selection parameters (e.g. 14.03.07) and copies the quantity of the first forecast delivery schedule line (10 TO).
Does anybody knows how to maintain Copying Control for dates and quantities between Scheduling agreement to Delivery Order?
Thank you!
LucaDear Pattanaik,
check data transfer from copy controls.for this T-code is VTLA
here select your doc type and select details and check also item.check inside both types data trasfer wich is assigned change from this item to header.your problem may ve coming from here.
hope this will helps you

Automatic delivery schedule for Scheduling Agreement
Hi all...........
I like to create automatic delivery schedule both JIT & FRC schedules for Schedule agreement, means system has to suggest the schedule lines.
I created SA and creation profile, when Im trying to generate JIT schedule system showing "Error generating release against scheduling agreement (cause 2)".
Pls let me know wht configuration I hve to do and pls let me know all the steps.
I like to know output determination setting for SA releases also.
regards
Durga RamHi
'Propose all Items" is ticked so that MIGO proposes all the items irrespective of the delivery date and quantity. This means that even if the delivery date has not yet been reached or the complete qty has been received, the system will still allow you to do the GR.
Hope this clarifies.
Thanks -
Info record creation from schedule agree, with all conditions
HI
We wish to create Inforrecord from schedule agreements, When we used Info update indicator B its creating Info record but not copying conditions from schele agreement only order history is updated
Is there any way we can copy all conditions from schedule agreement to info record?
ThanksI realized, standard SAP behaviour is
Info record does not exist
Quotation
Time-dependent conditions and their supplementary conditions are adopted
Scheduling agreement
Is set as last document; order price history is updated
Contract
Time-dependent conditions and their supplementary conditions are adopted
Purchase order
Is set as last document; order price history is updated
IS THERE ANY OTHER WAY TO ACIEVE CPYING OF ALL CONDITIONS FROM SCHEDULE AGREEMENT TO INFORECORD

Scheduling Agreement: validity variation date on schedule dates
Hello everybody
I have a problem and I appreciate your advice .
There is an agreement A which validity date is from 01.01.2007 to 31.12.2007.
And an agreement "B" with validity date from 01.01.2008 to 31.12.2009
After the MRP has been run, It creates the Delivery Schedule based on agreement "A" . But in a specific item, it was created two delivery date which are out of the validity date; those were 07.01.2008, and 12.01.2008
The question is why did the system create deliveries schedule out of the validity date base on agreement A and not based on agreement B? I mean,
Why did the system create this Scheduling delivery date out of the range of validity of the Agreement?
And, In the case that it had taken the validity date from Agreement "B" why did it put it on agreement "A"?
Could you give me any tip or suggestion where I need to verify or check in order to find out the reason why this happened?
I already verify the agreements, the source list and they seem to be ok.
Thanks in advanceHi Adrianda,
The creation of schedule lines through MRP depends upon the Agreement( no "A" or "B" in your case) and the validity period,and the period for which the MRP is run the system will create the SL according to the period for which the MRP has run,as per my knowledge there are no other place you can check,so double check the source list. -
Master data for Delivery Schedules for Scheduling agreements
At the link below, under the scheduling agreements with delivery schedules section, the integration section indicates that data comes in from 3 sources, one of which is master data. Does this mean that the delivery schedule can be maintained in master data somewhere? If so, where do you maintain it? Getting the delivery schedule from EDI, or entering it manually, is not an option for our business requirements.

Opening Excel Workbook Fails when run from Scheduled Task on Windows Server 2008 Rw
Hi,
I have a little vbs script that instantiates the Excel.Application object and then opens a work book to perform some tasks on it. The script runs fine when run from the command line. When I attempt to run it as a scheduled task (it is supposed to update
data that is pulled from a SQL Server at regular intervals), it fails with the following error:
Microsoft Office Excel cannot access the file 'c:\test\SampleWorkbook.xlsm'. There are several possible reasons: .....
The file does exist. The path reported in the error is correct. The account under which the task is running is the same account I use to run it from the command line. User Account Control is not enabled, and the task is set up to run with highest privileges.
When I run the same script through the Task Scheduler from a Windows Server 2003 machine, it works without issue.
I was just wondering if somebody on this forum has run into a similar issue in connection with Windows Server 2008 R2 and figured out what the magic trick is to make it work. I'm sure it is rights related, but I haven't quite figured out what which rights
are missing.
Thanks in advance for any advice you may have.This is truly killing me ... trying to get it working on Windows Server 2012 without success.
I desperately need to automate running Excel macros in a "headless" environment, that is non-interactive, non-GUI, etc.
I can get it to work using Excel.Application COM, either via VBScript or Powershell, successfully on many other Windows systems in our environment - Windows Server 2008 R2, Windows 7 (32-bit), etc., -BUT-
The two servers we built out for running our automation process are Windows Server 2012 (SE) - and it just refuses to run on the 2012 servers - it gives the messages below from VBScript and PowerShell, respectively-
I have tried uninstalling and re-installing several different versions of Microsoft Excel (2007 Standard, 2010 Standard, 2010 Professional Plus, 32-bit vs. 64-bit, etc.), but it makes no difference.
Would be extremely grateful if any one out there has had any success in running Excel automation on Server 2012 in a non-interactive environment that they could share.
( I have tried adding the "%windir%\syswow64\config\systemprofile\desktop"
folder, which did fix the issue for me when testing on Windows Server 2008 R2, but sadly did not resolve it on Windows Server 2012 )

I disputed every one saying that reporting late after I filed was an attempt to collect a debt under automatic stay jurisdiction of a U.S. Federal BK Court. TU & EQ promptly cleaned them all up, while EX refused. As a result I get an "A" for payment history on TU & EQ with no lates, while I get an "F" on EX w/30 some lates. Hopefully this will get EX to clean up their act. -
Need Automatic Lead-time scheduling in Planned Order using MD11
All,
Our users have a requirement that when they create a planned order using MD11, they would like system to do automatic lead-time scheduling based on the "basic finish date" entered by the user. Currently the system is taking 3 days from the in-house time maintained in material master to calculate the basic start date. But users want to use the 100 days that have been maintained in the routing.
Currently users have to click on "manual scheduling" on the planned order for system to pick up 100 days from routing which is an additional step for the users. Hence users want an automatic way in which system would do lead-time schedule when they enter the basic finish date.
Thanks,
SwapnilDear Swapnil,
In my understanding it is the standard SAP behaviour even if you have made the necessary settings in OPU5 for the planned
order type.
If my understanding is correct, then as per this setting the MRP behaves for the particular plant and order type combination.
Whenever you create a planned order manually you have to do a detailed scheduling and then you get the production dates
for the planned order.(This might be because generally when a planned order is converted into production order the system
carries out a lead time scheduling.- Check the same and correct me if I'm wrong)
Even if you update the material master through CA97,you will not get the detailed scheduling done along with the production
dates.So you have to perform this manual activity during MD11.
What is the reason of setting the in-house production time as 3 days,if the exact production time is going to be more?
Check and revert
Regards

Can not schedule from InfoView
Hi,
I have a newly installed BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 3.1 with SP2 installation and I have loaded my first Crystal report into a folder for testing. This is not the first installation of this type I have done and I followed a set of install instructions that have been used for other successful installations.
The problem I am experiencing is that when I attempt to schedule my Crystal report from within InfoView it correctly shows me the schedule options page, but does not allow me to move off the 'Instance Title' tab. When the schedule page is first shown there is an error icon in my browser (IE8) in the bottom left hand corner which when clicked on shows 11 or 12 'Object expected' error messages for schedule.aspx.
If I try to schedule the report through the CMC i don't get this problem.
I can view the report without any problems from InfoView.
Looking at the event log on the server I only get a few warnings relating to a missing yui folder (same as on some of my other installations and I have a call open with SAP on this subject).
The installation is entirely using IIS and no TomCat or java interface was selected during the install process.
Any ideas what is going wrong on this server that's stopping me from scheduling reports?
If no ideas, then any suggestions as to where I can look to get more information on this error?
Thanks,
MikeLooking at the www log at the time I request a schedule I can see that there are a number of 404.0 errors recorded. These relate to the following requested files:
/PlatformServices/js/callback.js.ashx
/PlatformServices/js/utils.js.ashx
/PlatformServices/js/_iframehelper.js.ashx
/PlatformServices/js/_singlePageActionSetSingleActionUtils.js.ashx
The /PlatformServices/js/ fodler exists and the configured user has permissions to access and read from that folder. The xxx.js files exist in the folder, but they do not exist as xxx.js.ashx extensions. I think that the ashx extension is an indication of a script but Idon't know if this is how it should be called. Is it likely that my problem is caused because of this naming convention?
