Capacity in scheduling agreement

Hi,
The documentation says we can assign transportation capacity and vendor capacity in scheduling agreements in ECC. Can you tell me which field in scheduling agreements are related to  transportation capacity and vendor capacity?
I am new to scheduling agreements so please be a little elaborate.
Thanks.

Hi,
For all of your queries;
ME01 - Maintain Source List for the materials
Here maintain, Vendor, Plant, Purchase Org, most important input Scheduling Agreement No  in Agreement column and  in "MRP" column, use "2" i.e. Record relevant to MRP. Sched. lines generated automatically
Now run MRP and observe the result, it will consider Scheduling Agreement in MRP.

  • Schedule lines on scheduling agreement by MRP

    Hello,
    we use MRP to generate delivery schedules on a purchasing scheduling agreement. The vendor of the material has a limited capacity but when the need of our customer is very big MRP generates schedule lines on one date (too many for the vendor too handle).
    Is it possible to limit the amount of a schedule line per period (for example we allow to generate 100 tons per week, if the need is 500 tons it should be splitted into 5 schedule lines over 5 weeks).
    Thank you for your help!!!!

    Hello,
    the weekly lot size generates lots per week but this answers only a part of my problem.
    example: vendor can produce 50 tons per week
    need is 200 tons
    with a weekly lot size and a maximum lot size of 50 the system proposes 4 schedule lines of 50 tons on the same week and this is not what I want. I want 1 schedule line of 50 ton on the week and the rest on the weeks in the future.

  • To allow GR few days in Advance in Scheduling Agreement process

    Dear all,
    I would like to know if the following is possible via SAP.
    I understand that when the both ME84 and the ME9E is trigger, the Goods Receipt for Schedule Agreement will not be possible if the goods receipt date is way before the delivery date.
    For example, if I am going to perform a GOOD RECEIPT on today (march 10th) and the delivery date below is stated the week of 18th 2014 (i.e. during the last week of April). System will not allow.
    But my question is this:
    If today is 25 of April (i.e. 3 days before 28th of April stated in the SA), may I know if the SAP system allow Goods Receipt into system given that it is only 3 days different and it is quite usual on business practise that the goods are produced few days in advance (not 1 week in advance, but delivery few days in advance). Does this allow in SAP during MIGO-GR or will it hits error message?
    If not, then may I know if there a way to set a GR tolerance on this which allow few days in advance to able to perform GR into system for Scheduling Agreement in SAP?
    Regards,
    Daniel

    Honestly, schedule agreements shall be used if you rely on delivery dates in any kind. Too early is bad because you have no storage capacity, too late is bad because your production may run out of components and gets stuck.
    It is an agreement with your vendor to get the material on time. For any other case you can use the schedule lines in the purchase order, or you can fix the prices in a contract.
    if you travel with train or plane, you get a schedule, with the dates and the time ,with your connections... you expect that everything works like it is written there. How disappointed would you be if you arrive at the airport on Thursday and you get told that your connection flight was already here 3 days earlier.
    If I am not mistaken, then you got already in several similar discussions the OSS note that has the modification that allows to receive earlier.

  • Procurement Scheduling Agreements in Heuristic-Based SNP

    Hi,
              I have a question about Procurement Scheduling Agreements in Heuristic-Based SNP.  I was reading through
    <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_scm40/helpdata/en/d6/07783b12fc9f20e10000000a11402f/frameset.htm">this topic</a> in help.sap.com
    The last paragraph: "If the confirmation quantity is less than ....... as described in step ", says that the first Heuristic run is executed, then plan is sent to supplier and he either changes  or confirms the supply qty Then if the qty. from the Heuristics result is more than what he can supply, the Heuristics run is rerun <u>"taking supplier capacity into consideration"</u>.
    As far as I understand Heuristics, it is a qty. based rapid cross plat planning that do not take capacities into consideration. But here it's saying that the Heuristics is rerun taking capacities into consideration. That confuses me! Can somebody please explain this to me? What difference in the second run makes the Heuristics take capacity into consideration?
    Thank you.

    Hi Visu
    SNP heuritics based planning involves heuristics(infinite) and heuristic based capacity levelling (with constraints) together.
    the first run and second run are run with different settings. the first infinite and the second with the capacty constraint.
    in the help page you refer to pl see point 2
    also see point 8 on http://help.sap.com/saphelp_scm40/helpdata/en/4a/563a18305211d3b6270000e82de178/content.htm -
    you can set up capacity constraints and still run heuristics (the real meaning of heuristics being a set of rules)
    the terms being used sure make it confusing

  • Planning horizon and scheduling agreements

    We have a planning horizon that goes out 1 year.  However MRP stock requirements is showing planned orders for scheduling agreements that go out beyond the planning horizon.
    Is there a reason MRP sees these MRP elements with dates well beyond the planning horizon of 1 year?

    Hi,
    In MRP we can run the MRP with Planning run Type  With indicator
    NETCH(Net change planning) and NETPL(Net change planning in the Planning Horizon)
    Planning Run Type in the Initial Screen
    Use
    You use the planning run type (Processing key indicator in the initial screen of the planning run) to determine which materials are to be planned.
    Features
    There are three different planning run types:
    During regenerative planning, all materials are planned for a plant. This makes sense when you are carrying out the planning run for the first time as well as later during production if data consistency cannot be guaranteed due to technical error.
    The disadvantage of regenerative planning is the fact that the system has to deal with high capacity loads because all materials are planned, including materials, which may not be affected by the planning run.
    To overcome this disadvantage, it makes sense during production to carry out the planning run using the net change planning procedure. The only materials that are included in the planning run are those, which have undergone a change relevant to MRP since the last planning run, for example, because of warehouse issues or sales orders, changes to the BOM and so on.
    The net change planning procedure makes it possible for you to execute the planning run in short intervals, for example, in daily intervals. You can thus always work with the most up-to-date planning result.
    You can use net change planning in the planning horizon to shorten the MRP planning run even further. The system then only plans materials that have undergone a change relevant to MRP within the planning horizon. In order to also plan changes outside of the planning horizon, you must execute the net change planning run in greater time intervals.
    You define the planning horizon per plant or per MRP group in Customizing for MRP in the IMG activity Define planning horizon. The planning horizon should be at least long enough to cover the period when sales orders are received. It must also accommodate delivery periods and the total lead times of the materials.
    In single-item planning, you can only choose between net change planning and net change planning in the planning horizon. Regenerative planning is not useful, because the material has already been defined and does not have to be determined after the evaluation of the planning file.
    The system automatically flags the materials that have undergone a change relevant to MRP with a corresponding planning file entry in the planning file (see also  Checking the Planning File and  Planning Run Type).

  • GATP: Product allocation with SD Scheduling Agreements ?

    Hello experts,
    we want to use Product allocation in APO-GATP (SCM5.0 SP13) to do shipping capacity leveling. The location is fulfilling following DocTypes :
    SD Sales Orders
    SD Scheduling Agreements
    MM Stocktransfers
    Does somebody know if SD Scheduling Agreements can be used with GATP product allocation ? I'm asking since this document type is NOT supported for Rules-Based-ATP (substitution etc.) for example.
    Thanks
    Thomas Schulze

    Hi Thomas,
    Just have a look into the SAP Help:
    Check Against Product Allocations
    You can use the check against product allocations in SAP APO for the following documents:
    ·         Sales orders
    ·         Sales scheduling agreements
    ·         Free-of-charge deliveries
    ·         Stock transport orders
    -> Yes, Scheduling Agreements can be checked against Prodcut allocations !
    best regards,

  • 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

    2. Maintain Purchase Info Record for the vendor plant & material combination.(ME11)
    3. Create Scheduling agreement using ME31L
    4. Maintain source list for the material & the scheduling agreement # and Line item set the MRP relevant indicator 2 (Necessary ?) ME01
    During Run MRP for the material.the below details entered///

    Create purchase req. 1 Purchase requisitions in opening period
    Schedule lines 3 Schedule lines
    Create MRP list 1 MRP list
    Planning mode 1 Determination of Basic Dates for Planned
    Run MDBT or MD02 but still doesn't create the schedule lines......Anything else missing.

    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

  • About selecting Scheduling Agreement and Forecast delivery schedule

    Hi Experts,
    i want to write a Report, with 2 parameters for the selection : Sold-to-party and Period
    For this Sold-to-party/Period, I want to list all scheduling agreement + Forecast delivery schedule.
    I already found the Function SD_VBEP_READ_WITH_VBELN to read all Forecast delivery schedule lines using Sales Doc.No. , but how can I select all Scheduling Agreement for the Period ?
    Regards,

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

  • Error in creating a schedule agreement

    hi friends
    i got an error in creating a scheduling agreement

    another error that reads is 'No communication data is set for medium 6ie edi'
    please answer this problem.thanks is advance.

    Hi,
    Check the Output type was created or not for that Scheduling Afreement?
    check the table T685 for that Output type?
    And n the diocument have you configured the Output type with the correct medium (EDI  value 6) and have you assigned the same in NACE tcode?

  • 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.
