Difference between Scheduling agreement delivery schedule and PO delivery s

Dear All,
Please tell the difference between the Scheduling agreement delivey schedule and PO delivery schdule.
In PO itself, we can give the delivery schedule.
Then what is the purpose of making scheduling agreement and maintain schedule in ME38?
Regards

Hi,
Difference between Scheduling agreement and PO is while PO is a legal document whatever the delivery schedules you mention in PO, you are liable to pay for the entire qty in case of cancellation
In case of scheduling agreement, we have Firm Zone and Tradeoff Zone to provide some cushion against paying for the entire qty you have ordered
Firm zone: (go-ahead for production)
If the date of a schedule line lies within the firm zone, the vendor has the go-ahead to produce the relevant quantity with the assurance that the orderer will bear any and all material and production costs associated with the scheduled quantity in the event of subsequent cancellation by the latter.
Trade-off zone: (go-ahead for procurement of input materials)
If the date of a schedule line lies within the trade-off zone, the vendor has the go-ahead to purchase any input materials necessary to produce the scheduled quantity. The orderer will recompense him in full for such outlay (but not for any other production costs) in the event that he should subsequently cancel the scheduled quantity.
Schedule lines that lie beyond the firm and trade-off zones fall within the planning zone (forecast zone) and are for rough guidance only, being without any commitment on the part of the orderer.
In case of PO if you want to cancel the order, you are liable to pay for the entire quantity, while in case of Scheduling agreement if you want to cancel the schedule and if the days fall in Firm zone or trade off zone or planning zone you have to pay only for raw materials or assembled products according to the above description

  • Difference between service agreement and  service contract

    Hi gurus
    please explain the exact difference between service agreements and service contracts

    Hi rajaram,
    Service agreement contains only pricing details.
    While in case of contracts it contains pricing details, warrenty details & sla details.

  • Difference between business process, sales process and order process

    what is the difference between business process, sales process and order process?

    Dear Gopala,
    business process is a general definition of the process which you have:
    for example, you get an order, you have no goods, but you can produce them, you start an assambly processing, the production order will be created, then the goods will be prepatred, then the delivery will be created, the goods issue booked then your customer gets thwe goods and send the delivery confirmation, you create an invoice etc.etc.
    sales process is a part of  a business process.
    Sales process shows how you sell the goods, there are different sales document  categories to do this: sales orders, contracts, scheduling agreements etc.
    order process is only one of possibilities of the sales process.
    Order process is used if you get really a one-time (or at lease not on a regular basis many times) the simple orders where your customer says what goods he would like to receive and when. Then you create a sales order (in dialog transaction VA01) and can create a delivery. There are different types of sales orders in the standard. The customizing of sales order types is available under the transaction VOV8.
    I hope, this info help you a little bit further to understand SD design.
    Kind regards,

  • What is the difference between sales order with picking and without picking

    hi friends,
    i would like to know what is the difference between sales order with picking and without picking.
    thanks
    skrishnan

    Hello,
    Picking refers to preparing the right quantity and quality of goods for shipping on schedule as required by the customer.
    Once picking is configured, SAP Sd automatically generates picking lists and picking labels which can be tagged to the relevant goods. SAP can be configured to ensure that picked quantity is confirmed before goods are issued. This can be done using transaction code VSTK. In T-code VSTK, picking confirmations can be set, which ensure that goods picked for delivery are in accordance with picking slips.
    Picking thus helps in monitoring each item using the picking status. Picking is normally done in SAP SD by a shipping clerk.

  • Difference Between Cahs Sales, Rush Order and Standard Order

    Hi gurus,
    I want to know whole configration for rush order and difference between 1. Rush order and cash sales. 2. cash sales and standard order.
    Would u please help me for this...
    Regards
    Prashant.

    Hi,
    1) Cash sale : in this delivery automatically happen when you save the sales order.  After that you have to give an invoice to the customer.
    2) Rush order. Here also delivery automatically happen when you save the sales order. But the difference is you can send invoice after some time but the delivery should happen immidately.
    If you goto any super market first, you pick up the item and then pay the bill and then you will get the bill, this process is cash sales.
    Cash sales is order related billing whereas RO is delivery related.
    Cash sales is not relevant for availability check as you will be picking the goods whereas RO is relevant for availability check.
    Cash sales is also not relevant for credit management whereas RO is relevant credit management.
    Cash sales uses RD03 as output which immediately prints the invoice whereas RO uses standard output RD00.
    Cash sales has one time customer account group where as RO normally doesn't.
    For cash sales order type is BV or CS and for RO it is RO
    Cash sales triggers petty cash a/c where as in RO customers account is debited.
    Delivery and settlement will be done immediately in cash sales where as in RO only delivery will be done immediatrly.
    Rush Order/Cash Sales u2013 
    Rush orders and Cash sales are sales document types that are used in the sales from plant process or when the customer needs to pick their goods immediately from the warehouse.
    In the sales document type, the following changes have to be made for rush order/cash sales u2013
    a. order type u2013 RO/CS
    b. shipping conditions u2013 immediately
    c. immediate delivery u2013 X
    d. lead time in days u2013 not to be specified
    e. delivery type u2013 LF/BV
    f. billing type u2013 F2/BV
    g. item category u2013 TAN/BVN 
    h. schedule line category u2013 CP/CP
    In case of rush orders and cash sales once the goods have been withdrawn from the warehouse, picking and posting goods issue can begin.
    In case of rush orders, when you create the billing documents the system prints the invoice papers and sends them to the customer.
    But in case of cash sales, an order related billing index is generated automatically. This updates the billing due list. Billing type BV is created, while the billing due list is being processed and the system does not print invoices during billing for a cash sale. 
    In cash sales when you save the order, the system automatically generates a cash receipt that can be given to the customer as an invoice and the goods are picked up from the warehouse immediately by the customer. You control the output with output type RD03, contained in the output determination procedure for order type CS.
    Best Regards,
    Amit

  • Difference between Asset Intelligence 09A report and reports in the Software Metering folder

    Dear all,
    I can not seem to grasp the difference between Asset Intelligence 09x reports and reports in the Software Metering folder. Do they extract conclusions based on the same data and which data are those? I also have come to notice that there are occasional dicrepancies
    between them. Why would this be?

    Hi,
    1. Software metering allows you to create a rule and meter application usage very granular, when it is started, how many times , how long it has been used e.t.c, Asset intellegence doesn't require you to create any rules it will only inventory start/stop
    so you can get reports like "all computers that hasn't started a application in x days".
    2.It depends on the license agreement for that application, but yes you can get how many has started a specific application within a timeframe.
    3.No

  • What is the difference between the HP OfficeJet 6830 and 6835?

    What is the difference between the HP OfficeJet 6830 and 6835?

    I just blew 20 minutes with HP support trying to get this answered since the full stats for the 6835 aren't available on HP's website.   The offshore support person went painfully through the specs stating the obvious (they both print, fax, scan, copy), and other info that I could read on the box.  She was most concerned with trying to get me to order a printer over the phone.    My suspicion is that they are in fact the same machine.  Many manufacturers agree not to place the same exact product in a warehouse club that is sold via regular retail channels.   I think the 6835 is the club version of the 6830.   I think I saw on the box that the 6835 included the USB cable, so that may be the difference that allows them to sell it at clubs with a different model number.  Of course, if you're replacing a printer, you should have a USB cable, so go with the cheapest deal.

  • DIFFERENCE BETWEEN GROSS PRICE, NET PRICE AND EFFECTIVE PRICE

    HI FRIENDS,
    CAN YOU EXPLAIN ME IN DETAIL, WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN GROSS PRICE, NET PRICE AND EFFECTIVE PRICE WITH A GOOD EXAMPLE.
    REGARDS.

    Hi,
    Example: Material Price is Rs.1000/-
    & Discount is 10% and tax is 10% and freight is Rs.50/-,Fixed( it may also %)
    So Here the Material Price is called Gross Price Rs.1000/-
    Gross Price (Rs.1000/-) – Discount {Rs100/-(10% of Rs.1000/-)}= Net Price Rs.900/-
    Here Net Price Rs.900/-
    Tax Rs. 90/- (Rs.900/- +Rs.90=Rs990/- is called sub-total)
    Freight Rs. 50/-
    Rs.1040/-
    The Total Price (Rs.1040/-) is called Effective Price.
    Note:
    1) Total value = total quantity x price
    When a price changes, the value of the stock changes, since the value is calculated from the price:( its also depends on price Control)
    2) Effective (actual) price: Net price minus cash discount and plus miscellaneous provisions and delivery costs as well as non-deductible input tax.

  • Difference between cleared items,open items and all postings (FI).

    Hi experts,
    Can anybody tell me the difference between cleared items,open items and all postings for an account.
    While running corresponding bapis and transaction FAGLL03 (for GL) or FBL1N (for accounts payable) i found that in some cases all postings is less than cleared items or open items for a time period. How could it happen.According to my knowledge all postings should contain cleared items and open items.
    Please correct me..
    Thanks and Regards
    Arjun

    Hi Arjun,
    For every Billing Documnet created(VBRK/VBRP-VBELN) there will be an accounting document created in BSID/BSAD tables.
    OPEN ITEMS means the Billed/Invoice Amounts that are pending from Customers, i.e which we have to receive from Customers.
    CLOSED ITEMS means the AMOUNTS received from that customer.
    OPEN ITEMS : fetch data from BSID table Only
    CLOSED ITEMS : fetch data from BSAD only.
    ALL POSTINGS : fetch data from both BSID and BSAD.
    Hope this will help.

  • The Difference between iphone Unlock T-Mobile and iphone Unlock Free-Sim

    As mentiond in the title my questions are:-
    - What is the Difference between iphone Unlock T-Mobile and iphone Unlock Free-Sim?!
    - Did they both work Internationally?!
    - For the Unlock T-Mobile should i use their sim or i can use any sim directly?!
    Thanks

    Unlocked means unlocked and you can use any sim card and keep changing them and the phone will never lock if it is unlocked.
    Sim free, means that the phone is sold at full price without a sim card, but the phone will lock to the first sim card that you put in it.  A sim free phone will work internationally, but you will have to use a roaming plan with your phone company because the phone will be locked, so you CANNOT change it to a local sim card.
    If you have an unlocked phone, you can use it internationally by inserting a local sim card and the phone should then work and you won't have to pay increased roaming charges as you would with a locked phone.
    If you buy a T-Mobile phone that is unlocked, DO NOT activate it with their sim card or the phone will lock to T-Mobile and you will have to approach them to get it unlocked.  Use it with another sim card straight away and it will remain unlocked.
