Quantity contracts/ Scheduling Agreements

Hello All,
I am working on a special business scenario.
To do this I need to invoice the "quantity contract" or "scheduling agreement". I know itu2019s not possible in standard but is there anyway where I can invoice the quantity contract or scheduling agreement? With modifications and maintaining copying control I can do the invoice to the contracts but I know I canu2019t run MRP. Is there any possibility where I can run MRP for Quantity contracts? Both the steps (Invoice and MRP) should configure to run the functionality.
My next query is how I can save outline agreement with out mentioning the dates and quantity.
I know the questions I raised look strange but itu2019s very useful to my business process if I can configure above items.

Vamsi

Hi,
     My req also similar to yours.
Customer place the req- with or without delivery dates.
In this case,initially i started luking for quantity contract. but both with r without delivery dates, I cant maintain in contracts.moreover this contracts,we cant run MRP & cant create billing too (as its not rel for billing )
then i look for the scheduling agreement,
In std SAP,you cant create agreement without qtty,because agreement will have pricing procedure applicable. without qtty pricing will be "zero"- then system wont allow to save the agreement.
for me, Scheduling agreement working fine,
I can use this with or without delivery dates & with or without qtty. this req will be transferred for MRP run.
Just analyze, why you need to create agreement without qtty- will solve ur issue.
in my case,
              Customer can receive the goods irrespective of ordered qtty. means its considered as open order all the time until the validity period completes. But the pricing will be mentioned in agreement.But without qtty we cant have pricing.So i entered the max-X qtty in agreement started creating delivery with ref to this agreement. In delivery item cat -checked"over delivery allowed"- So irrespective of the order qtty i can delivery as per customer req & the same delivered qtty n price will be copied at the time of invoice creation.
hope it helps

    Hi,
    Contract is outline purchasing agreement where you have a contract with the vendor,may be a for a predetermined quantity or predefined value. So everytime you need the matl,  you need to make PO ref the contract asking for the delivery of the matl. In such instance when PO is ref with contract its called contract release orders or call off orders. So Process are ME01, ME11, ME31K with aggnrement type, ME51,ME21 & MIGO,
    Scheduling agreement is a long term purchase agreement, where you will keep issuing the delivery schedules whenever there is a change in requirement or at predetermined time intervals. The delivery schedule can be on hour/daily/weekly/monthly basis. SA is also an agreement with the vendor for the supply of matl, may be a quanity or value. The delivery dates will be maintained in ME38 ref the SA which are called delivery schedules.So you can maintain the delivery schedule and communicate the vendor on Forecase basis or JIT basis. And when you need some more matl then will only create SA deliveries using ME38. SA could be of 2 types:- without release documentation-system will transmit the delivery info to the vendor once you save the document.
    With release documentation- after creating the delivery schedules you need to create SA release using ME84.So Process are ME01, ME11, ME31K with aggnrement type, ME38 & MIGO,
    Service order or service PO is created with item Category "D" and an account assignment category as per ur requirement. U can not enter ur material here only u have to maintain short text of material. Example: You want to clean the boiler and u given contract to your Vendor. Vendor sends quotation mentioning that Rs.100/hr/Man head. Now how you will measure the cleaning activities of furnace? You can pay to contractor based on the hourly basis/ man head spent in cleaning activities. So in this case create the Purchase Order mentioning "Cleaning" in the short text in Item overview(Acc assignment ' K' or “C” or “P” and Item category 'D) and item details " Man Head" Service No , Gross price - Rs.100.00 and unit - hour ( or pick from Service master) and Quantity-number of hours spent by all man head.
    The steps to create Service PO are:
    1) Maintain Item Category as D & account assignment such as cost center “K”or slaes order”C”
    2) Keep material code field blank.
    3) Enter description of service & other fields in the PO Item Overview level. Press Enter.
    4) System will prompt you to maintain services at Item Level. Maintain your service master number / service description & other fields (quantity / rate /)
    5) Save the PO.

  • Contracts/scheduling agreements

    Hi,
    Could anyone suggest me some useful links on contracts/ scheduling agreements?
    Thanks in advance
    Aparna

    Dear,
    Outline agreements in procurement can be 2 types:
    Contracts or Scheduling agreements.
    Contract is where you have a contract with the vendor,may be a for a predetermined quantity or predefined value. So everytime you need the matl,  you need to make PO ref the contract asking for the delivery of the matl. In such instance when PO is ref with contract its called contract release orders or call off orders. 
    Scheduling agreement is a long term purchase agreement, where you will keep issuing the delivery schedules whenever there is a change in requirement or at predetermined time intervals. The delivery schedule can be on hour/daily/weekly/monthly basis. But it will contain different zones viz. firm/tradeoff/Forecast.  Firm zone schedules are confirmed requirement and need to be taken by ordered party. Tradeoff zone requirement is to purchase the raw materails and ordering party is liable to pay raw material cost, in case of requirement cancellation. Forecast zone requirement is to help the vendor to plan his requirements.
    SA is also an agreement with the vendor for the supply of matl, may be a quanity or value. The delivery dates will be maintained in ME38 ref the SA which are called delivery schedules.So you can maintain the delivery schedule and communicate the vendor on Forecase basis or JIT basis. And when you need some more matl then will only create SA deliveries using ME38. SA could be of 2 types:- without release documentation-system will transmit the delivery info to the vendor once you save the document. 
    With release documentation- after creating the delivery schedules you need to create SA release using ME84.
    The main difference between contract and SA is volume of docs generated would be higher in contract since everytime you need to make a PO ref the contract and its time consuming, whereas SA can be integrated with MRP such that it automatically creates delivery schedules during MRP run provided if there is a requirement to the matl.

  • Creation of PO/Contract/Scheduling agreement with ref to PR using IDOC

    Hi Experts,
    Is it possible to <b>create PO/Contract/Scheduling agreement</b> <b>with reference to PR</b> <b>using inbound IDOC ?</b>
    If yes, please let me know the segment type and field to be populated for referencing PR in the IDoc .
    Thanks in Advance,
    Best Regards,
    Mitesh Desai

    Hi Aarif,
    Thanks for taking time to reply .
    We are palnning to integrate SAP and non SAP systems.
    The business Process is as under .
    (1) PR will be generated in ERP (Manaul/MRP)
    (2) PR will be coverted into RFQ (for which there is no appropriate source of supply
         in ERP)
    (3) Sourcing will be done in non SAP system. RFQ will be created with dummy vednro (for example say "source") to identify RFQs to be sent to another system.
    These RFQs needs to be sent using IDOC alonwith reference PR numbers and line item numbers.
      Multiple PRs will be combined into one RFQ as multiple line items.
    (4) Non SAP system will do sourcing and generates either PO or master outline agreement and have reference PR/RFQ numbers and line item numbers.
    No SAP system will send PO/outline agreement information to SAP system in XML file format to generate inbound IDOC in SAP .
    (5) This inbound idoc will generate PO/outline agreement in SAP.
    From SAP functionality point of view, I ca createPO/outline agreement with reference to PR but <b>My Question is how I can generate PO/outline agreement in SAP through IDOC and using "Reference PR or RFQ numbers".</b>
    Looking forward to help ASAP.

    Hi Jyoti ,
    There isn't any separate pricing procedure for Quotaions , Contracts , Scheduling Agreement s..
    The pricing which u normally find in PO derived from Vendor Master ( Based on Vendor Schema ) , hold good for the above purchasing documents.

  • Inbound delivery for Sub-Contracting Scheduling Agreement

    Hi All,
    I am working on inbound delivery creation --> PGR for sub-assembly (Semi-finished product) which we receive from sub-contracting vendor through scheduling agreement. At time of PGR, it should do MVT#101 for sub-assembly and 543-O for raw components.
    I already created JIT/FRC releases and did PGI (MVT # 541-O) for raw components. Now I am manually creating inbound delivery (VL31n) to post PGR. When I am doing PGR with VL60, I am getting below error.
    Any help or suggestion please ?
    As observation, I have seen that in inbound delivery I am only seeing sub-assembly (semi-finished) product. I am not able see "SC Component" tab which I have seen on other environment (ECC 6.0 with EHP4). Is it related to system limitation where we can't do PGR for sub-contracting ?
    Thanks.

    Hi AKPT,
    Sorry if i miss understood but note 352243 says to refer note: 338119
    "In the current release, it is not possible to process the components to be cleared when you post the goods receipt for the inbound delivery. (See Notes 338119, 197864 and 199703 also).
    However when you implement these corrections, the error log is also displayed for the subitems to be cleared and further processing can be carried as described in Note 338119."
    When I refer note : 338119, there is no correction. Am I missing anything ?
    Again my issue is I am not able to perform Post Goods Receipt. Even after doing PGR, if system do 543 for raw component, I am fine.
    Thanks.
    Regards,
    Ravi

  • BOM not copied to sch. line in Sub Contract scheduling agreement in Kanban.

    Hi,
    We are trying to procure material (A) via subcontract scheduling agreement document using Kanban process. This subcontract material has a valid BOM (say it has child materials B & C). We are working with 'Replenishment element for kanban' model (not JIT call).
    When Kanban bins status is changed to empty, a schedule line is placed in the subcontract scheduling agreement. But when we try to view the BOM of the schedule line created (Item -> components -> overview), we dont find any child material (B&C) attached to it. Hence when Kanban bin was changed from RED to GREEN, material movement 101 takes place for parent material (A) but 543 (consumption of child materials) is not happening for child materials (B &C).
    Mean while, we created some schedule lines manually in aforementioned SC sch.agreement. When we view the BOM of this manually created schedule line, we can see the child materials attached to it. Hence when bin status was changed from RED to GREEN, both 101 & 543 movements were posted.
    Can anyone let us know what needs to be done so that when Kanban bin is changed to EMPTY, it places schedule line in SC sch.agreement along with its BOM (Child material) details?
    Warm regards,
    Saravana.

    Dear Ashok,
    Issue: how to make BOM field(Component Part) in PO/ SA field non editable in MM customising. After the PO is saved user can not able to edit the component field in PO or Scheduling Agrreement.
    BOM field ( component Part ) is  directly  dependent on quantiyu of material  entered. so once you change the PO quantity the component quanity wil change accordingle,
    presently  you can not achievev thease
    but You can set the release strategy like that Po that it is not changable, doing so u r requirement willl achieve
    Hope your query is resolved

  • Contracts & Schedule Agreements and effects on MRP

    Currently our sales people are using SAP Contracts.  The contract shows up in my MRP daily but it shows a qty due to the customer as of the date the sales person entered the contract with complete qty due now or past due.  I am trying to get them to use Schedule Agreements as I don't think these would have the same effect on my MRP when they put in the required date and qty that material needs to actually be delivered. 
    Do you agree that a schedule agreement would be better?
    Please advise.  These contracts are terrible when no dates are put in them.
    Thanks

    Shipment date is the date that the material which will be leaving from the plant from the shipping point.
    In SAP, GI date is the date, when the goods leaving from the Plant premises.
    Delivery date is the date that the material will be reaching at the customer hand
    Delivery date, specifies the date , when goods will be expecting at customer site ( this date will be determined from GI date + Transit duration in Route master).
    1. Do the user has to calculate manually the dates and enter in the scheduline coloumn or
    No need to calculate the dates manually. This Calcuation will be done based on your customization in Route Master ( Transit Duration). but delivery dates has to be entered manually in Schedule lines tab in Scheduling agreements.
    *2. If the person is entering the dleivery date (wht ever given by the customer ) in the schedulines. how will the system will calculate automatcially six week before the delviery date to RUN the MRP
    Based on Delivery date/ GI date/ Pick pack & load time = Material available date will be determined. This Material available date  then transferred to prodcution.
