Difference between Purchase Order and Scheduling Agreement

Can any one explain the main differences between a Purchase Order and a Scheduling Agreement?
Thanks in advance

Hi,
A Purchase Order is a document that is given to Vendor to indicate our intention to buy goods from them. It contains what is the desired goods, how much quantity, price, and the delivery date, among other things.
A standard procurement cycle for this is:
PR --> PO --> GR --> IV
A Scheduling Agreement however, is a type of an Outline Agreement. Outline Agreements are divided into 2, first one is Contracts and second is Scheduling Agreement. So this is basically a long term agreement with a particular vendor that contains details on what is the desired goods, quantity, and the exact delivery dates.
A standard cycle for this is:
PR --> Create Scheduling Agreement --> Maintain Delivery Schedule (agreed dates on when vendor will send the goods and time) --> GR --> IV
As you can see, for Scheduling Agreement, PO is not required, but instead we would need to Maintain Delivery Schedule.
Just to share on Contracts, it appears as below:
PR --> Contract Creation --> PO --> GR --> IV

"difference between sales order and scheduling agreement "

hi,
i want to know difference between sales order and scheduling agreement and where use scheduling agreement & where sales order ?
please help
amit

Hi Amit,
Its not hard to find this info at help.sap.com
Sales Order
Definition: Request from a customer to a company to deliver a defined quantity of products or provide a service at a certain time. The sales area that accepts the inquiry is responsible for completing the agreement.
Scheduling Agreements
Purpose
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.
Integration
You would use this component if you had outline agreements with the customer that contained future delivery quantities of materials that would be sent at certain times within a fixed time period.
If you work with scheduling agreements for the component supplier industry you also need to choose the "Electronic Data Interchange" (EDI) component.

kindly note that depending on the Moving average or standard price (price control flag in mm01) the difference will either get adjusted with the material or to the price difference account accordingly.

dr price diff 10
the above is in case of material maitained at 'Standard price' in the mm03.

Link between Purchase Order and Production Order

Hi,
Could some one tell me how i could get a relation ship between Purchase order and Production Order after a Good receipt is done. Coz after a GR is done I am not able to see the production order for a particular material in MD04 transaction.
Thanks,
Arul.

Hi Arul ,
i think u may not get the LINK b/w Production Order and PO , Bcos--->
check the process --->
RUN MRP , here System will generate the Production Plan and PRs( based on the avail.of that Raw Material).So PO will be generated by PRs.So I think there is no link b/w Production and Purchase .
this is based on the my system settings and my knowledge.

Difference between partner order and partner oject?

hi all,
Can any one please explain the difference between partner order and partner object?
What is the purpose of partner object from controlling perspective?
Thanks in advance,
Regards,
S.Sumana.

Hi Kumar,
coming to customization in between SO(Rush order) and OR(Standard order).
Go to VOV8 T.Code.
The Rush order has the details as "Under Shipping tab",
There will be "X" mark in the immediate delivery .
the Rush order will be having the order related billing.
But the Standard order can be either Order related or Delivery related.
In Standard order after creating the order we are going to create the order we are going to create the delivery by using "VL01n" T.Code.After that we are going to create the billing by using "VF01" T.Code.
Regards,
Mohan.
I think you understood if you need any other info. pls ask.

Difference between process order and Production order

Hi Experts,
Can any buddy tell me the difference between process order and production order. Why process order is used for process industries. Why do we use recipe for it and routing for production order ?
Regards,
Amit

Hi Amit
There is a difference between production order and process order.
Supposing a 10,000 lit tank is being manufactured in discrete manufacturing. You have to follow the necessary routing steps and can make by physically seeing its development stage by stage. For this type production you can have a production order.
In case of process of order if some chemical in a reactor is loaded with intial temp of 30 C and need to be heated to 80 C then there is phase change. Hence we use Heating as an operation and the change of temp is phase. For such type of process we process order.
Hope this is useful. Pl reward.

Difference between settlement order and standing order

Can someone state the difference between standing order and settlement order with examples in the organization tab of equioment.

Hi,
Standing Order
Standing orders are used to carry out on-going maintenance jobs and settle them at month end rather than creating a fresh PM order every time. Using order hierarchies, you could attach sub-orders to the standing order and settle them to the standing order to provide you with more precise recording of maint costs at sub-order level as well as a budget monitoring at the standing order level.
Please go through the following link.

Difference between incomplete order and backorder processing

What is the difference between incomplete order and backorder processing.

Hi,
Incomplete order is an order in which all the fileds(To which the Incompletion procedure is assigned) are not filled before saving the sales order.Using backorder processing, you can list sales documents relevant for requirements for particular materials and confirm them manually. You can assign available-to-promise (ATP) stock to outstanding order quantities. In addition, you can withdraw already confirmed quantities and reassign them to different items. This means If the stock of a material has been confirmed to a particular order or delivery, and after that you have recieved an order which ahs to be delivered immediately , then you can change the stock allottment of the previous order to this new order using back order processing. The transaction code for this is "V_RA". Transaction code to see which incompletion procedure is assigned to your sales order type is "VUA2" And to see the Incompletion procedure itself is "OVA2". Kindly please let me know If you need any more information on this.

Ram Pedarla
