Customer scheduling agreement - explosion of BOM

Hi SAP experts,
At our company we have a lot of projects. We are in the process of selecting an appropriate way to handle these in SAP. We came to the conclusion that a scheduling agreement could do what we want.
Unfortunately we discovered a problem in our current configuration with respect to scheduling agreements and LUMF materials.
When we add a LUMF material to a standard SD document, the LUMF material explodes in all the necessary materials.
When we do the same in a scheduling agreement we get the error that the T 184 table does not contain a position type for ZLZM LUMF.
Would it be possible to configure this? Could you give us a clue on how to make this possible?
With kind regards,
Nanne Sluis

Hi Nanne,
Yes it is possible for the BOM to be exploded in the sales document the following setting has to be done.
If the item Category group in the materail master is LUMF, the item category of the BOM item is TAP. In the definition of which we need to take the value A Explodes single level BOM in the field structure scope.
Item category group is LUMF , bills components but not the main item. For this the following setting has to be done.
The item category of the main item is TAP, which is not relevant for pricing and item category of the components is TAN, which is relevant for pricing.
Sales Doc Type    Item Category           Usage         Higher Level Item             Item
                              Group                                    Category                Category
            OR     LUMF                -
              TAP
            OR     LUMF                -
                TAP              TAN
Hope this will give u some light on BOM configuration.

Sudarshan.

GR for scheduling agreement pulling old BOM component

We have a scheduling agreement that contains a material BOM as a line item. This BOM was originally created with one component, but then was changed to a different component months later (in February). We then created a new scheduling agreement AFTER the BOM was revised (in March), however, when we do a GR for that BOM item, it is pulling in the old component. If we look directly at the scheduling agreement in ME38, it pulls in the correct, new component.
Any thoughts? We've checked the validity date on the BOM and it is correct so I don't know why it would be going back to the old component.
Thanks in advance for your help.

hi,
do u have two levels of bom for that material..?? 1st level would be first bom..and the second level would be revised bom..is it right..? or u have just added the materials in the same bom..?? let me know this.
check the delivery schedules which you have maintained for that scheduling agreement and posting date for grn too.

prasath

Problem While Uploading Customer Requirements To Scheduling Agreement

Hi
I have received a ticket from client which is as below .
As itu2019s new issue for me , I am not able to fix the issue . It goes like this u2026u2026.
Customer scheduling agreement. 30000000
Part 300.F
The customer 862u2019s have been coming in during the mid morning hours (8or 8:30AM)
The customer 830u2019s and 862u2019s arrive once a week, on Fridays. 862 adds 5 addition firm order onto the end of the remaining firm orders.
This is what happened this morning.
7AM, VL10A due to ship today correctly shows 425pc.
7AM we created todays delivery for 425pc. Delivery 80005515. this removed the 425 from the open quantity on the scheduling agreement.
After the delivery was created for todayu2019s shipment, the new 862u2019s arrived, from customer , and populated the scheduling agreement.
Todayu2019s shipment was PGIed.
The scheduling agreement below shows 425pc due to ship today after we made todayu2019s shipment.
The problem seems to happen when todayu2019s delivery is already set up and THEN the new 862u2019s arrive and populates the scheduling agreement.
Is there any way of resolving this issue?
We know that the customer scheduling agreement is set up differently to receive 862u2019s.
This customer adds new firm orders each Friday.
So , could I request you to help me out in this case where I have to check up and how can I fix the issue .
Thanks in advance .

Hi Friends
Could I request you to help me out on this aspect

Correct usage of Scheduling Agreements?

Hi Experts!
One of my groups is using scheduling agreements, however I do not think they are using it the way SAP had intended.
Example: They use Scheduling agreements, similar to a blanket order. However, the blanket order quantity is fluid and the order can remain open even when the initial quantity has been fulfilled. These Scheduling Agreements will contain many items, sometimes around 30-40 line items.
The staff basically conducts two activities for these customers: enter new scheduling agreements with updated validity dates and expedite releases with a less than two week time frame. These expedites are communicated by the customer via email.
The customers submit a 16 week forecast via EDI as well as a firm 2 week JIT. Most scheduling agreement activity occurs systematically, although there are daily expedites for each customer for a few parts.
Initially, when entering a scheduling agreement, the staff does not indicate the JIT schedule. However, they do enter into the Forecast delivery schedule, basically just to activate and allow communication from customer.
My concern is should scheduling agreements contain that many items?
Also, the staff makes many changes in the scheduling agreements and when it reaches the time when the period for the scheduling agreement, what ever material they did not get to ship, they ship it to the customer in one bulk. Are you suppose to do that with scheduling agreements?
In addition, sometimes the staff allocates some of the materials promised to the customer on the scheduling agreements to another customer, then just re-allocates it back at a later time...should this be done or is it bad business practice?
What are good business practices for usage of Scheduling Agreements? Any information will be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time in advance!

you should not do that the reason is SA is use full for the JIT and promise to deliver things
In addition, sometimes the staff allocates some of the materials promised to the customer on the scheduling agreements to another customer, then just re-allocates it back at a later time...should this be done or is it bad business practice?
It's depent on the company bussiness policy - not rgiht process but if bussiness want to do then what else you can do?
What are good business practices for usage of Scheduling Agreements? Any information will be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time in advance!
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 following graphic shows the document flow for scheduling agreements.
The same functions are at your disposal for processing scheduling agreements as there are for the sales order, including pricing and availability checks.
In addition to the standard scheduling agreements you can also manage scheduling agreements for the component supplier industry, with their special features that include:
Working with scheduling agreements with EDI output
Entering scheduling agreements in a forecast or just-in-time (JIT) delivery schedule
Using different types of cumulative quantities
Taking into account the automatic fiscal year change used by the component supplier
Managing engineering change statuses
Storing packing proposals
Creating correction deliveries for the scheduling agreement
Working with external service agents

Regarding Scheduling Agreement

Hi Gurus,
We have the following issue regarding Scheduling Agreement.
WE have a Finished part for which we maintain Scheduling Agreement. The BOM of the Fert contains Packaging Raw's and one semi-finished part. The client's requirement is when we create a scheduling agreement for FERT, they don't want the packaging components to show up in the agreement coz these are supplied by the vendor except the Semi-Finished part, which will be supplied by the client.
I put the indicator Vendor Supplied Item for packaging components in the BOM.
It works really well in QA, but for the same part it's blowing everything in scheduling agreemnt in DV.
I really did't understand, why ? Are there any other settings i am missing?
It's really kind of urgent req.
if anybody can give some hints or settings i have to make, it's really helpful,
Thank you all,
kanth

Hi Vijay/Ranganath,
This issue was resolved, it's mainly due to revision levels attached to the BOM in DV.
thank you for your suggestions.

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.

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.

BOM explosion while creation of scheduling agreement / PO

Hi all,
Can anyone pls tell me how can i control / make settings for the explosion of BOM, when MM creates a scheduling agreement or a PO ?
Also, if i have multiple alternative BOMs, how can i get the BOMs selected automatically??
Thank you,
Shrenik

Dear,
Just a BOM is saficient for your senario.
What other requirement are
1. material master with special procurement key in MRP2
2. A valid BOM. i.e. as of the date it should be active, i.e it should be valid for the given date(as per the release date)
3. Material is maintained in that plant.
4. IMG settings - in OS30...PP01 or BEST should have id 01 and the alternative determination in related application area-alternative determination for MRP--> for a plant it should be 01.( where the BOM usage 1 is maintained), check your BOM usage, it may be 3 or 1, both are okay.
All other settins like inforecord etc will help you to reduce your input data, but above settings will help to explode the BOM in PO.
Hope you understood.

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.
New requirement:
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.

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

Scheduling agreement for customer?

Hi,

my question is whether we also have scheduling agreement between firm and the customer simliar to scheduling agreement?
there must be but terminilogy may be different. may i know what we call it SD?
Raj

Dear Friend,
-->Scheduling agreement is one type of outline agreement. (T. Code:- VA31)
-->Scheduling agreement means the agreement between customer and company which is having details about which is the quantity to be supplied for a perticuler date.
-->It is like a cotract but here we will have cofirmed quantity and delivery dates in different schedule lines for a perticuler duration or period.
--> From scheduling agreement we can create delivery directly without sales order.
-->Example -- If the customer specifies the date and quantity of the required material for a specific duration we will create scheduling agreement in the SAP.
Customer 'A' asked the company total required quantity is 100 but he wants supply in four instalments at specific dates in the month of March then we can create scheduling agreement for that requirement and we will supply according to that.
I hope it will help you. Reward points if helpfull.

Scheduling Agreement Alternate BOM usage

Hi all,
For a FG material , i have 2 BOMs available for that.
I make a scheduling agreement for Subcontracting process while maintaining schedules ME38 , automatically system is picking the first BOM present for that material , but i want to use the alternate BOM to be picked for that particular vendor or for that Scheduling agreement. So should I maintain any thing else for that agreement .
With Rgds,
Vamsi

Hi,
Maintain two production versions, one for each BOM you have, Assign the default production version to the subcontracting info record
When you create subcon PO, the default production version is used. If you want to change it, go in the item level "Material Data" Tab,
click "Re-explode" and choose the production version you want
Thanks
