PO - Scheduling agreement

Hi
What is the main difference between a purchase order and a scheduling agreement ?
regards,
senthil.

Hi
Purchase order and schedule agreements both are legal documents.
Purchase Order does not have validity period, it will have delivery dates, If you have a requirement of 1000 qty at different delivery dates, PO supports that but all these dates are immediately transmitted to vendor.
Example: Delivery dates 30 May’07: 200, 30 Jun’07: 500, 30 July’07: 300
All above requirement are transmitted immediately when you transmit purchase order.
Schedule agreement is a long terms agreement with the vendor with certain conditions like prince and delivery terms etc.
You will create a schedule agreement for the total quantity required by you, but you will place a separate delivery schedule for the required quantity.
Example: If you require 200 on 30 May’07, create a separate delivery schedule. similarly for all future requirements
These schedule line will form as part of history. When we use schedule agreements we have the option of sending firm and trade off quantities to vendors, we can also use JIT schedule with release documentation.

  • How to measure performance of supplier when using scheduling agreement ?

    Hello all,
    My client has an absolute need to be able to measure the performance of its suppliers based on delivery dates and delivered quantities. That is to say he needs to be able to compare what dates and quantities were asked to what has been really delivered.
    Most of the procurement processes used are based on scheduling agreements : schedule lines are generated by MRP and forecast is sent to supplier while firm requirements are sent through JIT calls.
    It seems that when doing GR in MIGO, it is done against the outline agreement number, and not against the call. Therefore, we have no way to compare dates and quantity with what was expected (in the JIT call).
    Do you know if SAP proposes a standard solution to this, and what could be a solution to this issue ?
    Thanks for your help
    E. Vallez

    Hi,
    My client faced the same problem and we ended up developing an own analysis in LIS. Since the GR is not linked to specific schedule line (SAP does some kind of apportioning, but it doesn't have to correlate to the correct match), one needs to do assumptions. Our assumption was the closest schedule line, i.e. each GR is related to the schedule line with the closest date. Then all GR the same day are totaled together before the quantity reliability is calculated, since the very same shipment can be reported through several GR transactions in SAP (one per pallet).
    If anybody has info about what SAP has to offer in this question (or is developing), please tell us!

  • Order of delivery schedule line counter at schedule agreements from MRP run

    Currently we are using schedule agreements for our long term external suppliers, but we are facing a problem with the order of new delivery schedule lines created during MRP run.
    Because of master data settings like, lot size, rounding value, plan delivery time and planning time fence to set as firm new requirements, multiple schedule lines are created with no order for schedule line counter.
    Does anyone is aware of a BADI, user exit or customizing control to have this schedule line counter in order?
    Thank you

    Raj,
    Source List a Mandatory for Scheduling Agreement, if you want to create automatic Scheduling line.
    Plz use (2) in MRP RELEVENT tab in ME01 (Source List).
    rest of the thing is ok, make sure a material master(MRP 2 VIEW) in that view you have to give a planed delivery days. it is must.
    HOPE IT WILL WORK

    by selecting data from table VEPVG (Delivery Due Index) and using function SD_VBEP_READ_WITH_VBELN for each SD Document.

  • Batch in scheduling agreement

    Hi gurus,
    we manage some material with batch.
    when i create sheduling agreement or when I maintain delivery schedule, I cannot enter the value of batch,
    In selection screen (for scheduoing agreement o delivery schedule) is not possible to set "display" to the field "batch".
    So I suppose that the field batch is not available for scheduling agreement,
    What do you think?
    Marco

    The functionality for batch field is not available in Scheduling Agreement.
    The cause is that a scheduling agreement is for a longer period.
    So it wasn't expected that the batch number is known when creating
    the scheduling agreement. You can enter the batch number when
    creating the goods receipt.

  • Change in scheduling agreement schedule lines .

    Dear All ,
            We have activated release strategy for scheduling agreement .Previously while maintaining schedule lines it was not going for release .
             But now while maintaining schedule lines in ME38 it is going for release .I want to know what is the reason and I want to stop this .
             We have made some changes in Closed PO amendment ,like we have changed the release indicator value R -6- 10% to R - 6 -0% .
    Like whenever we make change in price of a PO even a 1paise
    it should go for release .
              The release strategy for SA and PO is same .

    Hi,
    Since you have changed the release indicator it is again going for release for any change.
    Please change the release indicator to 2 from  6 so that you can change the schdeule lines or any modiifcation again release will not set
    Please check the release indicator in P.O and SA

  • Subcontracting in scheduling agreement

    Dear all,
    while doing subcontracting scheduling agreement, how can we add the child components to the parent material.
    in cs01 ,we maintained the bill of material for the parent material.in CS11 we are able to view it.
    Regards,
    velu

    Hi,
    If you have already maintained the BOM in CS01, you need  not have to maintain the seperate BOM in Scheduling Agreement, because, the already existing BOM will get copied. The only thing you will have to do is that, define special procurement category as 30 (Sub-Contracting) in MRP2 view of the material master & then create the SchedulingAgreement with item category as L (Sub-Contracting).
    Hope this clears.

    Hi Jaya,
    what i meant is that, if you have changed the existing JIt delivery schedules i.e changing the existing schedule line qty.
    If the Jit delivery schedules are not saved with open quantity in the Scheduling Agreement, cannot creat delivery for that schedules.

  • BOM in Scheduling agreement (Type LZ)

    HI
    I am using scheduling agreement (Type LZ) for maintaining my sales plan for a period of 4 months. (1st one month - daily & subsequent months as weekly requirements). Ii would create delivery and invoices for each supply.
    Pricing previously was based on the finished product (basic price for product was available). SO there was no problem.
    <u>New requirement:</u>
    finished Product above - is made up of components. Now, price should be derived from components. For this I have enabled SD Bom for my finish product.
    But the problem is when i use the Finish product code in scheduling agreement type LZ, the BOM doesn't explode (it explodes in other scheduling agreement types, say LP)
    Clarification:
    1. Is it possible to calculate price of the higher level material by summing up the components' price?, with out BOM explosion
    2. Is BOM explosion possible in scheduling agreement with delivery schedule (LZ).
    Note:
    1. Necessary settings for item category & BOM master already in place.
    2. BOM is exploding in sales order and other sheduling types, except doc type LZ.

    If it is maintained as error message, it does not allow me to maintain delivery schedule more than target quantity of 100 EA. Also the overdelivery tolerance is maintained as 20 %, so it should allow me to maintain delivery schedule of 120 EA, but it does not allow me to maintain greater than target quantity of 100 EA. Please let me know your comments.

    Hi
    with the help of  T180-TRTYP field you know if that doc has been changed or created.
    If it is not equal to H it is changed. H means created.
    pass the TCODE of Sched Agreement and check this field.
    You can use the CDHDR and CDPOS table s to get the changed values of new item.

    Dear Venkat,
    Price will get determine in the sales order based on two settings
    1.Pricing procedure determination
    2.Condition record maintanence.
    This may happen for two reasons
    1.Different pricing procedures are getting determined for sales order and scheduling agreement.
    One pricing procedure may have variant condition type and other pricing procedure may not have the variant condition type.
    So check same pricing procedure is getting determine in the both documents or not
    2.Condition record may not maintained for the scheduling agreement document type in VK11
    So check the condition record maintanence for the variant condition type through VK13 transaction.
    I hope this will help you,
    Regards,

  • Restriction of Validity start date in Scheduling agreement

    Hi,
    I am not able to convert the message 06 170( Start of validity period is in the past) in error message , when i am going to define attributes of system messages in purchasing and converting this message into error , system still does not give error message when i am selecting  back  validity start date in the header of Scheduling agreement (me32l)
    What can be the possible reason.
    Regards
    Sachin

    Hi,
    I believe the message 06-170 is hard-coded in Include "MM06EFRP_EKKO-KDATE" in the Program SAPMM06E
    Laufzeitbeginn in der Vergangenheit -
        IF ekko-kdatb < sy-datlo.
          MESSAGE w170 INTO gl_dummy.
          mmpur_message 'W' '06' '170' '' '' '' ''.
    Please consul your ABAP Team on this to change it to Error.
    But SAP does not recommend changing standard Programs, so please discuss this and see that its really required and will not have any effects to your business process, because there may be instances wherein you might require to create scheduling agreements with a past validity date sometime in future based on business requirement.

    Could you please create shipping notification firstly, and retest your scenario?"
