Definition: release creation profile
An instrument used to determine the period in which releases (types of delivery schedule) are generated against a scheduling agreement and transmitted to the vendor.
The creation profile controls the creation periodicity of the releases, the aggregation of scheduled quantities starting from the day after release creation, and the implementation of a tolerance check to ensure that releases are only created in the case of major changes to the overall delivery schedule in the system.
Example
A release creation profile for a scheduling agreement for which delivery schedule lines have been entered over several years specifies that releases are transmitted weekly from 01.01 to 12.31 of the first year. The release quantities are to be aggregated as follows:
For a period of 10 days starting from the current date of release creation: no aggregation. From the tenth to the thirtieth day: on a daily basis. From the thirtieth day to the sixtieth day: on a monthly basis.

Significance of release creation profile

Hi all,

Hi,
Release Creation Profile
Use: -
The creation profile determines:
- Which event triggers the creation of a scheduling agreement release (changes involving the lines of the overall schedule and/or the reaching of the next transmission date)
- How the delivery dates are shown (aggregation and release horizon)
- Whether
Backlogs and Immediate Requirements are determined and shown in the scheduling agreement (SA) release Whether a tolerance check is carried out for SA releases that are created due to changes to the overall delivery schedule in the system
Note: -
The tolerance check is only carried out if lines of the overall schedule for an item have been changed and if you create SA releases using the release creation program (via Scheduling agreement ® Create SA release).
Features: -
A creation profile is defined on a plant-dependent basis and consists of the following areas:
General parameters: -
- Whether - and, if so, under what conditions - an SA release is generated (creation strategy).
- Whether backlogs and immediate requirements are to be determined for the SA release type.
- Whether or not the tolerance check is to be deactivated in the case of change documents created for SA releases with backlogs.
Aggregation horizons: -
- The Release Horizon for which released quantities are shown, and
- The periods for which quantities may be aggregated.
If your creation profile provides for aggregation, quantities and delivery dates set out in the lines of the overall delivery schedule stored in the system for a scheduling agreement are aggregated to form release schedule lines.
If you use a creation profile without aggregation, or work without a creation profile, the schedule lines of the SA release correspond to the schedule lines of the overall delivery schedule for the scheduling agreement for the relevant period.
Creation periodicity: -
- Whether SA releases are to be created on a periodic basis (and, if so, at which frequency).
Each time a scheduling agreement release is created, the system calculates the next creation date. Weekly and monthly releases are always created on a Monday (first workday of the period). The system takes the factory calendar as the basis for calculating the due dates for release creation.
If you wish to create SA releases on a periodic basis, you should choose a creation strategy that includes Next date.
Tolerance profile: -
- Whether tolerances are are to be checked for scheduling agreement releases created as a result of changes to the overall delivery schedule. This allows you to specify that SA releases are only to be created following major changes to the overall delivery schedule.
In the case of SA releases containing backlogs or immediate requirements, the system never checks tolerances.
Activities: -
You process creation profiles in Customizing for Purchasing under Scheduling Agreement ® Maintain Release Creation Profile for Scheduling Agreement with Release Documentation.
You assign a creation profile to a scheduling agreement item in the Additional data.

Release creation profile

Hi,
Is there any other parameter (other than release aggregation of release creation profile) that influence FRC schedule ?
I have a SA with FRC schedule aggregation crieteria as 40 days daily and 370 days monthly...but it transmits only 340 days in FRC.

Hi,
Are you using Scheduling Agreement LPA Type.Because only then while creating SA you enter the Release creation profile.
Release Creation Profile
Controls:
The creation periodicity of the releases (scheduling agreement delivery schedules), i.e. the period in which releases against a scheduling agreement are created and transmitted to the vendor, and
The way in which the quantities transmitted to the vendor are aggregated (starting from the current creation date of the release)
Example:
The creation periodicity for a scheduling agreement for which delivery schedule lines have been maintained over two years provides that releases are created weekly from 1.1. to 12.31 of the first year.
The release quantities are to be aggregated as follows:
For a period of 10 days starting from the current date of release creation, no aggregation; from the tenth to the thirtieth day, on a daily basis; and from the thirtieth day to the sixtieth day, on a monthly basis.

Where is the field release creation profile in scheduling agreement?

Purpose and use of item category Text (6)

What is the Purpose and use of item category Text (6).
it is meant for which biz scenario?

Thanks for your explanation.
Sorry I am not convinced on this biz scenario what has been posted. Why to enter just the text in the form of PO and maintain record in the system . One can send a word document or simply put a call to outside party for sending legal document.
Moreover it hardly matters whether the PO is of less value or nil value. In standard also we use free goods in PO also. SAP, I think without any specific reason will not provide item category Text "T"- there must be some strong reason for it.
Also please note that item category text T is also allowed in scheduling agreement for document type LP and LPA. then simply entering text in scheduling agreement for item category does not make any business sense.
If anybody has come across the biz scenario, please share in the forum. I searched and went to thread on similar topic but could not find any convincing answer on this.

How to create Creation Profile

Hello all Gurus,
Can someone please tell me how to create "Creation Profile" and use them in MM scheduling agreement? I have an issue, where the user wants 2 separate creation profiles to be created so that the demands should be sent to suppliers on Thursdays and Fridays only. I maintained the creation profiles in SPRO -- MM -- Purchasing -- Scheduling Agreement -- Maintain Creation Profile for Scheduling agreement with rel. doc. But these creation profiles doesn't seems to work. What are the extra steps that we need to carry out once the creation profiles are created and then maintained in MM scheduling agreement?
If you have any knowledge on creation of CREATION PROFILES please share it with me. It will be very much helpful for me.
Thanks and Regards,
Umakanth

hi,
Go to SPRO > MM > Purchasing > Scheduling Agreement > Maint. Rel. Creation Profile for Sched. Agmt. w. Rel. Docu.
Maint. Rel. Creation Profile for Sched. Agmt. w. Rel. Docu.
In this step, you can define the release creation profile.
The latter is an instrument for determining which criteria are used to generate releases against a scheduling agreement and transmit them to the vendor.
You assign the creation profile to the scheduling agreement item in the additional data.
The creation profile controls the creation periodicity of the releases and - starting from the current date of release creation - the way in which the quantities are aggregated.
In the release creation profile, you can define
o   General Parameters
-   Which creation strategy is the basis for JIT delivery schedules and scheduling agreements.
-   How backlog and immediate requirements are taken into account during release creation.
o   Aggregation and release horizon
-   If and how schedule lines should be aggregated during release creation.
o   Release creation periodicity
-    With which periodicity scheduling agreement releases are created
o   Tolerance profile
-    That for releases created as a result of changed schedule lines, the system performs a tolerance check
o   Internet release
-    Whether an Internet release is created during release creation

Assigning Creation Profile in the Vendor Master

Help needed to find the release "Creation Profile" in the Vendor Master. I am not able to locate the input box in the Vendor Master "Purchasing Data" Tab.
Already tried:
Extras >> additional purchasing data >> data retention at plant level
Purchasing view >> Extras >> Alternate data for a plant
- the "Creation profile parameter is not there
Any help is appreciated.

Thanks for your reply. I should clarify the issue once again.
Problem Clarified
"Release Creation Profile" already exists (defined) in IMG and I need to assign it to a vendor in the Vendor Master on the "Dif. Purchase Data" which is plant specific. I couldn't find the field "Creation Profile" in any of the purchasing data.

Creation profile with required parameters

Please can anyone tell me how to create the new creation profile with the following parameters: Delivery on Thursday and creation on Wednesday.

Hi,
Settings for the Creation Profile
You make the following settings in Customizing for Purchasing under Scheduling Agreement ® Maintain Release Creation Profile for Scheduling Agreement with Release Documentation.
General Parameters
For JIT delivery schedules, you select Changed or next date. For forecast (FRC) delivery schedules, you select Next date only.
For JIT schedules, you specify that backlogs and immediate requirements are determined.
Aggregation Horizons
For JIT schedules, you specify daily aggregation and enter 10 workdays as End. For FRC schedules, you choose monthly aggregation and enter 180 workdays as End.
This has the effect that JIT delivery schedules show the daily quantities for the next 10 workdays and FRC schedules the monthly quantities for the next 180 workdays (9 months à 20 workdays).
Creation Periodicity
You specify weekly creation for JIT schedules and monthly creation for FRC schedules.
Tolerance Profile
You specify 10 days as the checking period for JIT schedules, since this corresponds to the release horizon. You enter 5% as upper and lower tolerance limits and choose Overall check.
In your case JIT SCHEDULE IS VALID. I hope this will clear your issue.

There is no such functionality for "define screen layout"...
Release creation profiles are maintained here and shd check the settings here:
SPRO> MM-> Purchasing --> Schedule agreement --> Maint. rel. creation profile for the shc. agre w. rel. doc...

Making creation profile filed mandatory

Hi,
I want to make creation profile (EKPO-ABUEB) field mandatory in scheduling agreement. In the screen layout setting this field does not appear. How can I set this field as mandatory field
Regards

Hi
Here is a alternative.
Release creation profile is defaulted in Scheduling agreement through vendor master record.
You can make release creation profile mandatory for the account group.
In this case system will automatically default the release creation profile in SA.
