Delivery Schedule Confirmation inbound

Hi experts,
Business scenario: For material planning purpose, The SAP PO would require delivery schedule confirmation from supplier to be used as a PO firm item when the PO is released. The PO items are critical since they will be used as material requirement planning to fulfill shop floor production.
Can any one let me know what is the BAPI or any other method to Update PO Quantity Update Deliv. Date using custom program.
Thank for advance

Hello Duke,
Thank you very much for getting back to me. Yes, our configuration had been maintained properly as defined.
IMG>MM>Purchasing>Confirmations>Set Up Confirmation Control
1. Select the Confirmation Control Key
2. Goto Confirmation Sequence
We had set up AB confirmation in sequence 1 and LA in sequence 2.
The problem happens only when the delivery schedule date or PO line delivery date is earlier than or equal to the AB confirmed delivery date. When this happens, the system does not look at the cumulative quantity between the AB confirmation and LA confirmation. Instead, the system treats them as two independent events resulting in an overconfirmed situation.
Please see the following example:
Scenario 1
If 1000 ea was ordered with Delivery schedule date is 11/20/2007 with the following confirmation:
 Quantity reduced
AB Confirmation 300 ea 11/19/2007 0
LA Confirmation 300 ea 12/20/2007 0
Total ATP available quantity is 600 ea (over-confirming)
Scenario 2
If 1000 ea was ordered with Delivery schedule date is 11/26/2007 with the following confirmation:
 Quantity reduced
AB Confirmation 300 ea 11/19/2007 300
LA Confirmation 300 ea 12/20/2007 0
Total ATP available quantity is 300 ea (correct quantity)
Please kindly advise if there is any documented SAP logic that explain this system behavior. Thank you very much.

In SAP, there is a functionality called "confirmation control" which we can use to control the confirmations and acknowledgement from vendors related to price, delivery date and quantity.
You can setup the "confirmation control key" in PO as per your requirement whether you want to just record the acknowledgement or maintain inbound delivery or both.

Confirmation & Inbound Delivery

Hi,
Anybody will explain about Order Acknowledgement , Confirmations and Inbound
Delivery Process.
Thanx,
Key.

Monitoring Vendor Confirmations
Use
The confirmation monitoring facility enables you to check whether the expected confirmations
have been received and whether the delivery quantities and dates are as you requested. The list
analyses that are available for monitoring purposes provide you at all times with an overview of
the status of your purchase orders and their influence on materials planning and control.
Prerequisites
_ Analyses are only possible for items having a confirmation control key.
_ You can specify the deadline for receipt of confirmations for each confirmation category in
Customizing for Purchasing (Confirmations _ Set up confirmation control under Confirmation
sequence.)
You can specify in Customizing that you wish to see the following in the monitoring list,
for example:
_ Which order acknowledgments have still not been received a certain number of days
after the PO date
_ Which shipping notifications have still not been received a certain number of days before
the delivery date
Activities
To monitor vendor confirmations, choose <Purchasing document> ___Reporting___Monitor
confirmations.
Order Acknowledgment Expediters
Use
You can send messages to vendors urging them to submit outstanding order acknowledgments.
You cannot issue such messages with respect to other vendor confirmation categories.
Prerequisites
A prerequisite is that the Acknowledgment requirement indicator has been set in each relevant
PO or scheduling agreement item.
Activities
Choose <Purchasing document> _ Messages _ Monitor order acknowledgment.
If the indicator has been set, the system proceeds as follows when the reminder program is run:
It checks whether the confirmation control key has been set:
1. If it has not, it checks whether the acknowledgment number has been entered. If there is
no such number, a message urging the vendor to submit the overdue acknowledgment is
issued.
2. If it has, the sum of the quantities from all previous order acknowledgments is calculated.
If the result is less than the order quantity, an urging message (expediter) is issued.
Creating a PO or Outl. Agreement w. Acknowl. Reqt.
1. Create a purchase order or an outline purchase agreement and maintain the items.
2. Select the item to be acknowledged by the vendor and enter a confirmation control key in the
Deadline monitoring area of the item detail screen.
If the confirmation control key provides for the submission of order acknowledgments by
the vendor, and you wish to urge the latter to do so in the event that they are still
outstanding after a certain period of time, set the Acknowledgment requirement indicator.
3. Save the purchase order.
If you wish to work exclusively with order acknowledgments (i.e. without using a
confirmation control key), your only option is to set this indicator. You need not make
any other entries.
Monitoring Confirmations
Monitoring Confirmations in PO or Outline Agreement
1. Select the item for which you wish to see the accumulated confirmations and choose Item _
Confirmations _ Lists.
2. Then branch to one of the following lists:
Quantities relevant to MRP
Quantities that have been reduced/offset with regard to MRP
Cumulative quantities
A line from a PO delivery schedule covering 100 tons of steel is reduced to zero as a
result of the relevant order acknowledgment for 100 tons. The subsequent inbound
delivery of 100 tons in turn reduces the order acknowledgment quantity to zero, and,
finally, the GR of 100 tons completely offsets the inbound-delivery quantity.
Monitoring Several POs or Outline Agreements
1. Choose Purchase order _ Reporting _ Monitor confirmations.
2. Specify an interval of purchase orders and enter the category of confirmations to be
monitored (for example, AB for order acknowledgment).
3. Choose Program _ Execute.
You obtain a list of all variant quantities and delivery dates.
Manual Maintenance of Confirmations
1. Change the purchase order or scheduling agreement.
2. Select the item for which you wish to enter a confirmation and choose Item _
Confirmations _ Overview.
3. On the confirmation overview screen, maintain the confirmation category, date, time-spot,
and quantity, as well as the confirmation number used by the vendor.
You can also receive a confirmation with respect to a material with a manufacturer part
number (MPN). For more on this topic, refer to Manufacturer Part Number (MPN) [Page
452]).
If you work exclusively with order acknowledgments (i.e. without using a confirmation
control key), enter the acknowledgment number on the item detail screen. This
number can be any identifier customarily used in your enterprise (e.g. the date of the
order acknowledgment or an external document number).
If you wish to enter the same number for each item, choose Edit _ Fast change.
Quantity Checks
_ If a vendor notifies a quantity that is greater than the still-open notified quantity, the system
issues a warning message.
_ If the cumulative quantity from all inbound deliveries relating to a PO item exceeds the order
quantity (taking the overdelivery tolerance into account), the system issues a warning
message.
This warning can also be defined as an error message on a user-specific basis.
_ If the cumulative notified quantity is less than the quantity already delivered, a warning
message is issued.
Depending on your settings in Customizing, an indicator showing whether or not the data in the
confirmation is used in materials planning is set in column D. If the indicator has not been set, the
data is for information only.
In column E, you can see whether the confirmation was entered manually in the PO (1), or
generated automatically upon entry of a shipping notification using the function Create inbound
delivery (2).
Creating Inbound Delivery Against Shipping Notif.
1. Choose Purchase order _ Inbound delivery _ Create.
2. On the initial screen, enter the vendor, the delivery date and the PO number. You also have
the option of entering a transport identification code (e.g. a vehicle registration number). In
this way, deliveries for several purchase orders can be grouped together.
If you do not know the PO number, choose Inbound delivery _ Select purchase orders
and enter selection criteria.
Choose Program _ Execute.
You obtain a list of the purchase orders from the specified number interval that contain
still-open notified quantities.
Select the relevant purchase orders and choose Adopt selected.
3. Press ENTER. The overview screen with the suggested quantities appears.
The default quantity is taken from the PO item. However, you can overwrite this
suggested quantity and enter a different unit of measure. In order for this to be possible,
the desired unit must be defined as an alternative unit of measure in the material master
record with the appropriate conversion factor.
All quantities (e.g. the notified quantity) are converted into the order unit and recorded in
the purchase order by the system.
You have a PO for 100 tons of Steel 1, and the vendor sends you a shipping
notification for 5 crates. You wish to enter the inbound delivery in the unit of
measure crate. The system checks whether the alternative unit of measure can be
converted into the order unit. If so, you can save the inbound delivery in the
alternative unit.
A batch split can be made in the inbound delivery, which is taken into account in the
confirmation overview for the purchase order and at the time of goods receipt. If the
batch split is to be taken into account at the time of goods receipt, the confirmation
category Inbound delivery must be confirmation-related (GR assignment indicator).
4. Check the data and make any necessary changes.
5. Save the document.
After this, the confirmation overview is updated in the relevant purchase orders.

GR Proposed Quantity against delivery schedules in PO

Hi All,
Is there any configuration setting so that while doing Goods Receipt, the system proposed quantity should be against the different delivery schedules maintained in delivery schedules tab in PO.
Regards,
vamshi

Hi,
When we send a PO Delivery schedule, its the requiremet which we specify to the vendor but vendor needs to confirm on that, thats why the inboud delivery process is helpful there, because we can't control on baisis of PO what qty is being sent by vendor, delivery schedule is just an info to the vendor, but the ref doc for that is inbound delivery wherein it confirms the vendor is sending a particular qty on a particular date.
The other option is to use scheduling agreement schedule lines, please look for options in your design.

Scheduling agreement : No delivery schedule

i've checked in MMBE & CO09, it shows the material as available.I dont see any material reservation also.
Any Ideas??

No schedule lines due for delivery up to the selected date
Message no. VL248
Diagnosis
There are no schedule lines due for the given order item up to the date chosen.
System Response
The system does not create a delivery item for this order item.
Procedure
Check whether the order item to be delivered contains confirmed schedule lines.
If this is the case, set the selection date further into the future if you still want to create a delivery for this item.
solution:
VL01N
Change the Selection date to another day.

Delivery based on qty specified in delivery schedule in Scheduling Agreemnt

Hi,
We have a scenario where we need to create delivery based on the quantities entered in the delivery schedule in Scheduling Agreement, eg.
on 10.11.2011 qty to be delivered is 10
on 15.11.2011 qty to be delivered is 20
We have sufficient stock and the entire qty of 30 (10+20) is confirmed. Now when we create the delivery on 10.11.2011 the system is delivering the entire qty of 30, whereas the requirement is that on 10.11.2011 only qty 10 should be proposed by the system in delivery. Please help.
Regards,
Abhishek.

Hi,
1.Please check is there two schedule lines are present.
2. Check the expected delivery date/check the from to date for delivery creation.
or
you can change the expected delivery date between 10-14 and check it should work.

Scheduling agreement, unnecessary delivery schedule lines

Hello
We use Scheduling agreements for purchasing spare parts. The MRP run checks the warehouse requirements and creates delivery schedule line to scheduling agreement.
Now the MRP run creates unnecessary delivery schedule lines to scheduling agreement if the earlier created delivery schedule line's delivery date has been changed manually.
For example,
Today the MRP run finds requirement for one article and creates the delivery schedule line, where delivery date is 2.9.2008 (determined from articles basic data).
The Vendor confirms the delivery date as 3.10.2008 and the purchaser changes manually (transaction ME38) the delivery date to delivery schedule line accordingly and prints the created message.
The next MRP run creates new delivery schedule line, where delivery date is again 2.9.2008.
now there are two open delivery schedule lines for this article with delivery dates 3.10.2008 and 2.9.2008.
Why the MRP run does not notice the existing delivery schedule line with the new delivery date 3.10.2008?
we have changed delivery dates manually several years and this has never happened before.
could you please help me to resolve this.
Thanks in advance,
Srikanth

In addition to the above post,
as you changed the date manually from 2nd to 3rd....
so there are was no report for 2nd generated ulitmately...and if generated it was changed...right...
so when you again run the mrp...the system will generate one more pr for the same article....
this ultimately happens because of the set del dates in the MMR as i told above..
Hope it helps..

Scheduling Agreement Delivery Schedule Maintenance

I have recently been given the task to maintain the delivery schedules
for schedule agreements in the EKET table using data from external
sources. I have been unsuccessful at finding standard interface
techniques (Call Transaction, BAPI, ) to do this. A similar program
already exists at my client site that uses the SAP function
ME_UPDATE_SCHEDULES_DISPO to do this, but I am uncomfortable issuing a call to this function out of context to accomplish these updates.
Can anyone confirm for me that use of this function would essentially be
the same as calling a BAPI (if one existed) and that there should be
little or no risk to our application as a result of using this approach?
Please note that my question concerns scheduling agreements and not
purchase orders. I have found references to BAPIs for scheduling agreement maintenance in release 6.0, but my client is running release 4.7.

hi,
plz go thru following threads
How to pass table as input parameter of a BAPI ?

Delivery Schedule (Add in Remarks)

Hi,
We have an issue on the delivery schedule. Currently, user would like
to add in some remarks / note into the delivery schedule for clearer
clarification to the vendor on the confirmed delivery date & qty.
This remarks is helpful to them especially when there is changes on the
delivery qty / date. We tried to explore if there is any function in
adding item text but not able to find under customizing.
Also, tried to use the function on "Field Relevant to Printout of
Changes" for Delivery Schedule in order to highlight the change on the
document during printout. However, it's not successful.
Anybody know whether is this the restriction from
standard SAP function? If yes, can we have customized field in Delivery
Schedule for Item Text? How can we do this? Via screen layout? Anybody know how to do this? Appreciate your prompt response!
Thanks!

Hi Yagnesh,
Thanks for the reply!
May i know the pop up box you mean is triggered during what time? Is it during ME38 - Delivery Schedule maintenance? Or during output trigger @ t-code ME9E? Could I know about the details of which user exit you're referring to?
Is it really not possible to maintain item text / remarks into the delivery schedule? Thanks!

MRP keeps pushing delivery schedules out, refusing to firm them (ME33L)

I hope someone has seen something like this before and can let us know where to look. MRP keeps pushing our delivery schedules out even though it is recommending that they be rescheduled in. What we'd like to happen is for MRP to leave these schedules alone so that they would move inside the time fence and be firmed automatically. Here is what is happening:
Part X, MRP type P1, firming type 1, MRP group blank. Planning time fence 05/07/2007, available quantity -20.
Three schedule lines exist for 05/07/2007, two for 10 and another for 30.
MRP will run tonight. Processing Key = NEUPL, purch req = 2, sched lines = 3, MRP list = 1, planning mode = 2, scheduling = 2
Tomorrow, the planning time fence will be at 05/08/2007 and the three schedule lines will move out to 05/08/2007. The won't move inside the planning time fence and firm up. They SHOULD BE 05/07/2006 and firmed!
We originally thought that we may have to create a release with ME84 before these would firm, but it made no difference. They still won't firm unless someone manually changes the date on each and every schedule line.
Does anyone know what we can change or run to get these schedules to firm up instead of having them pushed out continually?

Hello Randy,
thanks for the update. I didnt remenber this customizing indicator when posting.
Still wondering why planning matters here. I think it should have the same result for all planning modes. Of course planning mode 3 in general should be avoided for performance reasons.
For interested observers I attach the description for this setting in MRP customizing.
Regards, Martin
Indicator: Only Firm Transmitted Schedule Lines
In this step, you can set an indicator which is used to set only those schedule lines that have been transferred to the vendor.
You can firm schedule lines within the planning time fence (in the same way as planned orders or purchase requisitions) according to the master schedule item firming logic. The planning time fence is a number of days that is calculated into the future starting from the current date. Therefore, the last date of the planning time fence changes every day.
In the firming logic, existing schedule lines are also firmed as soon as they move into the planning time fence.
Schedule lines that lie outside the planning time fence and whose quantity is adjusted in the planning run due to a change of the requirements quantity are firmed with the new quantity as soon as the schedule lines move into the planning time fence.
The schedule lines are transferred to the vendor for the amount recorded in the stock/requirements list at the time of the data transfer.
If you only want to firm the schedule lines in the planning time fence that have been checked and transferred to the vendor, you can use the indicator, Only firm transmitted schedule lines. By selecting this indicator, the system only firms the schedule lines that have been sent to the vendor.
For schedule lines whose quantity has changed and which have moved into the planning time fence, the following occurs if this indicator has been set: if the MRP controller/purchaser does not confirm the procurement plan by sending the changed quantities to the vendor, the schedule line quantities that were sent to the vendor in the previous data transfer are firmed within the planning time fence. This guarantees that the system cannot firm any quantities that have not been checked. It also means that the vondor does not receive any messages for unchecked schedule line quantities.
Activities
Define the indicator per MRP group and allocate this MRP group to the materials for which this indicator is to be valid.
Further notes
The message transfer is a purchasing function. You can find it in the purchasing menu, Outline agreement -> Scheduling agreement -> Messages -> Print/transmit.

Sales order schedule confirmed date will consider Production capacity load

As we know about schedule confirm delivery dates of sales order will consider based on material master lead time ,shiping point etc
How to consider production capacity plan on sales order's delivery date.
Say for example :
Production workcenter capacity to produce the XYZ material 10qty in a Day.
today i have created the sales order XYZ materail qty of 100. lead days has give based of MMR 21 days 17-07-2010( 3 sundays)
and in same day i have created other sales order XYZ material qty 5000 ,the lead days again it will came 17-07-2010.
Now my client requiremnt is when the schedule days is confirming in the sale order it sholud also consider the production capacity planning also(CR01,CR02)
Even though my work centers are overloaded it is confirming the sales order on 17-07-2010 (based on leads days in MMR)
Need your Inputs on issue

Hi,
This is a complex issue; best solution is by using APO/GATP.
If not, then in ERP only, the second best is:
1) Work with assembly processing in SO, meaning that a production/planned order is automatically created in the customer order during order creation.
2) Then, after the order is created it is scheduled, and the delivery date proposal is based on that.
3) Now you can check in the order that there are no capacity overloads, and all capacity required to produce on the proposed date is available. If yes, you're done. If not, it gets a bit complex, since you actualy need to switch to capacity planning, do capacity leveling and dispatch (PP), and the you get a new feasible schedule proposal based on that.
APO/GATP could do all that automatically!

Mario

Difference between Scheduling lines and Delivery schedule

Hi SD Experts
can u say me the clear difference between Scheduling lines and Delivery schedule.
where we will maintain deliver schedule. whether delivery schedule is automatically created along scheduling agreements..
with regards
James

Hi James,
Schedule Lines: Has basically information realted to delivery scheduling in Sales Order level.
Delivery Scheduling: Is a process using which system will determine what are the different activities which need to be performed and time taken for each activitiy only after which the material can be delivered to the customer.
Delievry scheduling will be started only from the material availability date i.e., system will first determine the material avail date and then do scheduling. By default Standard SAP system does Backward Scheduling in case material availability falls beyond the required delivery date system will do forward schedluing
Delivery Scheduling consists of the following Basic activities:
We give deatils while creating order:
Order Creation Date
Required Delivery Date
Order date - Material availability date - Transportation Planning Date - Loading date - Goods Issue Date - Required Delivery Date
Time Between GI Date and required Delivery Date is called Transit Time
Time Between LoadingDate and GI Date is called Loading time
Time Between Material Availability Date and Loading Date consists of 2 components - Pick / PackTime and Transportation Planning Time
System has to calculate all this before it determines the confirmed delivery date.
Give your mail Id I have some Presentation I will send you across.
REWARD POINTS IF IT HELPS

Srini
