Restrict ME39 Schedulling Agreement display by Vendor?

Hello Gurus,
I need to restrict certain user to view PO/Scheduling agreements for only a specific vendor in ME23N/ME39. I don't have much of a security background but from what I've seen there is no authorization object for Vendor.
I thought of doing this by creating a custom transaction to call ME23/ME39. Allow those users access to the custom transaction only. Then use a user exit to check if the PO is for that specific vendor. The problem with this aproach is that I think I can only use user exit 4 (EXIT_SAPMM06E_004). But that user exit is called for ME23 not ME39. I couldn't find a user exit that would get triggered before I get to the second screen for ME39.
I could make copies of the programs and make the change direction to the code but I didn't want to do that because of future upgrade implications.
If anyone has any bright ideas (security or ABAP) on how to acheive this please share.
TIA

Hi
If the standard authorization objects are not good for you, u can create a custom one and assign it to user profile.
So u need to find out only a right place where u can check the new authorization object.
I don't know trx ME39, but it's based on the same program of PO (ME23, ME23N) so u can check the user-exit for PO by CMOD trx

SCHEDULING AGREEMENT AND SCHEDULING LINE CREATION

Hello Guys,
I trying creating a scheduling agreement(SA) for vendor & material combination.
I have created a Scheduling agreement in ME31L then maintained in ME38.
In ME38 i have also mentioned the delivery date. when i am checking EKKO for Purchasing document , its created with the delivery date specified.
My question is how to create a schedule line ? Do we need to maintain a source list of that material, plant and vendor.
If we have the source list maintained, then what is the next step after SA is created and maintained.
Do we need to do MIGO? because i tested by creating one SA in ME31L and maintained in ME38. I mentioned the delivery date as today and when i checked EKKO table the Purchasing document is created.
Do i need to create a Purchase Order?
If no then do i need to do MIGO? If i need to do MIGO, for what reference do i need to do MIGO???
My client never maintained a Scheduling agreement, they want the scheduled lines to be created and sent to vendor and we need to receive the goods on specified delivery date.
Help will be appreciated.
Thanks.

Hi,
You need to make a distinction between the scheduling agreement (ME31L/ME32L) and the delivery schedule creation (ME38/ME84)
With ME31L you create the scheduling agreement. In the scheduling agreement which is created for a vendor you maintain the parts that you will order at this vendor, the target quantity that you will order over a certain period and the price.
In ME38 you use the scheduling agreement number that is created with ME31L to create schedule lines (manually). These schedule lines consist of a date and an quantity. This is the data that needs to be transmitted to the vendor and against which the vendor is shipping the ordered materials.
Once the vendor ships the materials you post the goods receipt in Migo against the scheduling agreement number.
That is the basic working of the scheduling agreement and the delivery schedule.
Now some remarks.
You need to set-up the required output conditions for transmitting the data to the vendor either via print, fax, email or EDI.
You can do this manually in each scheduling agreement and each release but typically you maintain the output condition records.
For scheduling agreement contract (ME31L) you use transaction MN07.
For the delivery schedule (ME38/ME84) you use transaction MN10.
In order for you to be able to post the goods receipt the delivery schedule needs to have been transmitted otherwise you will get a message that not requirement are found when trying to post goods receipt.
Also the goods receipt can only be posted if the requirements are valid on the day that you are performing MIGO. This means if you would post GR today then the open requirements in the scheduling agreement need to be for today or already from previous dates. The system will not allow you to post GR for quantities that are only due tomorrow (if this is required a user exit needs to be set-up).
If you want schedule lines created via MRP then you need to set-up a source list using ME01. You have to make sure that the MRP key is set to 2 in orer for the system to generate schedule lines and you also have to make sure that you have the correct MRP parameters set-up.
You can use ME84 to transmit the delivery schedule lines generated by MRP if no changes are required. With the ME84 you can transmit multiple releases at once, however this transaction can not be used to make manual changes to the MRP proposal.
The scheduling agreement offers lot's more possibilities but the above should get you going with the basics.
Hope this will help you on your way.

Scheduling Agreement with Kanban

I was looking in to the forum and as per my understanding FRC and JIT schedule, On the days on which the next FRC date (1st. Monday in the month) or the next JIT date (Monday each week) is reached, scheduling agreements with the above profile settings are selected and SA releases (delivery schedules to be issued to the vendor) created (because the next creation date has been reached).
In my case I like to aggregate the requirment daily and send to the vendor end of everyday .What setting I need to do and what will be the process.I am using this functionality with KANBAN.
thanks in advance

Eduardo,
We already decided to use Kanban with Scheduling agreement. We have some MRO parts which we move from one Main storage location to another storage location in production area and once someone will scan the main storage location and if it hits the reorder point it will generate the external scheduling agreement to the vendor. If we have agreement for different parts with same vendor it will combine all the parts in one scheduling agreement and the other thing business want send these scheduling agreement to vendor on the same day not in 14 days or once in a week.
Please let me know how what I have to do to achieve this functionality and we are using LPA agreement.
Thanks

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.

Scheduling agreement - Direct delivery

Hi,
I am currently facing a challange where I have create a schedule agreement with a vendor who is providing raw materials directly to a subcontractor. My goal is to be able to do goods receipt using mvt 101 o and have the materials stored on a "Material provided to Subcontractor"-Storage loaction.
I am not able to create a Source list in the Vendor MRP area, but only in the plant MRP Area
I have done as follows:
Create a MRP area type 03-Vendor with ref to the subcontractor vendor number
Assigned the raw material to the MRP Area
Create a Scheduling agreement with out ret to any storage locations
When running MRP the schedule lines are created in plant MRP area ant NOT in the vendor MRP Area.
Please let me know how to assign a vendor MRP area in the source list.
Thanks again for your help.
Anders

Hello,
I've got a similar problem except that I don't manage MRP area for this specific plant. I would like that at GR the goods are received directly at the subcontractor's site in the stock provided to vendor (101 O).
For this :
- I have created the Scheduling agreement (LPA type) with delivery address flagged in item.
- The source list is fixed to the vendor with Scheduling agreement number and item (and same start date and finish date as in the contract).
- The material master has all information to let the schedule lines to be generated (lot size and planning calendar).
=> When I run the MRP it generates purchase requisitions instead of schedule lines, when the SC vendor is flagged in scheduling agreement.
When the SC vendor is not flagged in scheduling agreement, it works perfectly.
Is it a matter of customizing, or is there any other parameter to set ?
Thanks a lot for your help,
Regards,
Anna.

Please give me the inputs.

Ramu

Hi
For Subcontrcting through MRP
Other than the normal, in material master MRP 2 view u need to maintain the special procurement. And maintain BOM (CS01), Create scheduling agreement and manitain delvery lines in ME38, and do the transfer posting in MB1B (541 Movement type) and do the GR at MIGO (101 Movement type).
Please check it once.

IDOC: MM purchase order to SD scheduling agreement

Dear experts,
Is below scenario technically feasible?
- Purchase order created in customer system, and sent to vendor system via IDOC
- Scheduling Agreement created in vendor system against the received IDOC
- Goods issue posted for delivery schedule of Scheduling Agreement, and sent to customer system via IDOC as Shipping Notification
- Inbound Delivery created for purchase order in customer system against the received IDOC.
- Billing created in vendor system and sent to customer system via IDOC
- Invoice verification created in customer system against the received IDOC.
The scenario is obviously feasible between Purchase Order-Sales Order, but I'm not sure whether it will work with Purchase Order- SD Scheduling Agreement or not. According to SAP Help, it seems that only MM Scheduling Agreement can work SD Scheduling Agreement.
Thanks a lot,
Duc.

Then we must be able to do GR(103) for 3000 PCS, But during GR(103) SAP is showing that we are having only 1700 PCS remaining for GR .
How can it possible ? Please help.

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.

hi
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 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.
Document Types
To configure document types for scheduling agreements, choose Sales -> Sales Documents -> Sales Document Header -> Define sales document types in Customizing for Sales and Distribution.
The R/3 System contains the following document types for component suppliers:
LZ - Scheduling agreement with delivery schedules (no external agents)
LZM - Scheduling agreement with delivery orders
LK - Scheduling agreement with delivery schedules (external agents)
ED - Delivery by external agent (consignment issue)
EDKO - External agent correction
RZ - Scheduling agreement returns (no external agents)
KAZU - Consignment pick-up for external agents
KRZU - Consignment returns for external agents
Item Categories
To configure item categories for scheduling agreements, choose Sales -> Sales Documents -> Sales Document Item -> Define item categories in Customizing for Sales and Distribution.
The system determines the following item categories for the related document types in
documents containing materials with item category group NORM:
Item category LZN for scheduling agreement type LZ
Item category LZMA for scheduling agreement type LZM
Item category LKN for scheduling agreement type LK
Item category KEN for document type ED
Item category EDK for positive corrections (or the manual alternative EDK1 for
negative corrections) for document type EDKO
Item category REN for document type RZ
Item category KAN for document type KAZU
Item category KRN for document type KRZU
Schedule Line Categories
To configure schedule line categories for scheduling agreements, choose Sales -> Sales Documents -> Schedule lines -> Define or Assign schedule line categories in Customizing for Sales and Distribution.
The R/3 System contains the following schedule line categories for component suppliers:
L1, BN, L2, and CN for item category LZN
E4, E0, E5, and BN for item category LKN
L2 for item category LZMA (standard for delivery order processing)
Schedule Line Types
To configure schedule line types for scheduling agreements, choose Sales -> Sales Documents -> Scheduling Agreements with Delivery Schedules -> Define schedule line types in Customizing for Sales and Distribution.
Creating Scheduling Agreements

External Kanban (full to empty) - Scheduling Agreement Schedule Lines

Hello Sir/Madam,
Our control cycle is using external replenishment procedure with "0002" (i.e. working with Scheduling Agreements ).
Indicator u201CSeparate GR posting when changing status to fullu201D is not set.
Symptom:
When the Kanban container is empty, I perform a PKBC to sign the status from "Full to Empty" and I save it. The system generates a delivery schedule and an email is sent to the vendor. This can be proved by MD04.
The problem is that the system generates another delivery schedule after few minutes and also another email is sent to the vendor. So, the delivery schedule and the email are incorrectly done twice.
I am wondering how the system setup is able to generate automatically a new delivery schedule which is not correct.
Please could you suggest me some solution.
Regards
Luca

I think in this case, that if no user exits were activated in your system, you should create an OSS message for SAP.

Scheduling Agreement as PDF in email ?

Hi Friends,
I am a new entry to the SDN group .
I have a requirement :
Need to send the Scheduling Agreement as a pdf email . Already for standard PO an output type is set .
If i want to send an email of Sceduling agreement then what are the steps involved ? How can I specify that if the PO is of type SA then only send the mail to say X vendor .
Would appreciate if anyone can help me in clearing this concept and steps to do the same .
Thank you all .

Tamanna,
Transace NACE ......
Select Application (EL) from the list which pertains to the Scheduling agreement, then select the OUTPUT types button from the toolbar. Now, you will see a list of OUTPUT types, select the one that you have configured. Now, click on the processing routines ...here you will be able to specify the program name and SMART Form name which needs to be triggered for the scheduling agreement.

Vendor address not updated in Scheduling Agreement

I have a peculiar problem where the vendor address is not being updated in all scheduling agreements. I have multiple SAs against a vendor. When i change the name of the vendor, the name changes only in one of the SA. All the remaining SA carry the old name of the vendor. I tested with another vendor on the test system and the names on all the agreements change as soon as I make the change in the vendor master.
Does anyone have any explanation on why the system is behaving strangely?
Thanks

Hi,
I am more surprised that the name changed automatically on the ones that DID change.
I would not have expected this to update in this way. The main idea is that outline agrements can have different data to the master records because they are specific agreements and often relate to very specific data.
If you wanted to change the address of a vendor it should NOT change the address of existinmg VSAs etc. automatically because the document is a =fixed contract that is agreed between you and the vendor and should ONLY be changed manually.
We had a similar question earlier today asking why the system does not change the short description on a contract when the short description on the material master changes. My reply was basically the same, it SHOULDN'T change it automatically because the agreement is a legal document and cannot be changed by just ONE of the parties involved.
So I would be asking why the one VSA changed automatically (and the ones in the test syste) not why the others didn't change.
Just trying to lok at this from all angles.

MRP is not generating any schedule line in my vendor's scheduling agreement

Hello all,
My question is: why the MRP is not generating any new line in my vendor's scheduling agreement?
This is the scenario:
I have created a vendor's scheduling agreement with transaction ME31L
I have created a customer's scheduling agreement with transaction VA31 and those characteristics:
- Forecast scheduling lines
- JIT scheduling lines
- MRP to DS type assigned to type C: Requirements according to forecast delivery/Deliveries according to JIT
I have run MRP with transaction MD01
MRP is generating some purchasing requistions, not purchase orders because we have set up a release strategy which requires 2 approvals, but those purchasing requests are not generating any new line in the vendor's scheduling agreement.
Any idea why it could be? Please do not hesitate to ask for further explanations. Thank you

Hi,
Check if stock is available for the material in that plant.
Also check the requirement date for the material and compare it with the planning horizon for that plant.
Check your material master MRP view.
Create source list(for material and plant in question) with MRP indicator 2.
Thanks and Regards,
Maheshwari
