Firming of the schedule lines

Hi,
in MD04 we can see the firm indicator for some of the schedule lines. We aware of that this indicator is set based on the firm zone period and the schedule release date.
Apart from firm zone is there any other parameter makes the schedule line firm ( except manual change) Please clarify.
This is the very urgrent req from business so your immediate repsponse is really appreciated.
Thanks
Raj

Hi
You can firm all schedule lines which are printed or transmitted to vendor by customizing in OMIN for your plant and material group.
Or if you create schedule line manually.

Firming the Schedule Lines in Sch.Agreement

Hi , I have done the following to firm the schedule lines in Scheduling agreement.
1. Firm Zone as 30 days
2.Tradeoff zone days as 60 days
3.Binding MRP indicator as NULL(Lines not changeable within Zones)
4.In OMIN , Firm Schedule lines enabled for the MRP group
When i run the MRP, schedule lines are getting created with Firm Indicator (*) for the requirements lying within these zones. After transmitting the schedule lines to vendor , if i change the requirement again, the schedule lines within Firm Zone are getting adjusted as per the new requirment. I dont know whats the purpose behind maintaining these Firm Zone and Trade off Zone.
Pointers are much appreciated.
Thanks and regards,
Milton Isaac

Hi,
Rolling delivery schedules issued under scheduling agreements are divided into different time zones indicating the degree to which lines of the schedule are binding.
Firm zone (zone 1) (go-ahead for production).
The schedule lines within this zone count as firm and thus as fully binding. If you cancel a schedule line that falls within the firm zone, the vendor is entitled to charge you with both production costs and the costs of procuring input materials incurred by him as a result of the cancellation.
Trade-off zone (zone 2) (go-ahead for procurement of input materials)
This is the "semi-firm" zone, giving the vendor the go-ahead to procure necessary input materials for the manufacture of the item ordered. If you cancel a schedule line within this semi-firm zone, the vendor is only entitled to charge you the material costs. Schedule lines falling within this time zone are thus less binding that those falling within the firm zone.

HOW TO FIRM THE SCHEDULE LINES

Dear All
Scenario is "" Through MRP i am creating the schedule lines for raw materials"".
Now I want that during my next planning run the already created schedule lines should remain firmed & according to requierement only new schedule lines should get created.
Please tell me the steps how can i firm my schedule lines.
Regards
Rahul Bhardwaj

Dera Rahul,
There is option in Schedule Line itself that u can give firming period and in that period schedule lines r firmed. Go to ME32L
enter ur SchedulingAgreement Then select ur material and click on Additional Data (Shift+F5). There under Scheduling Control 'Firm Zone' field is there, try with this option and see what i sresult.

Donot want to fix the schedule lines at an Early date even P.O is the creat

Hi ,
If a material is sourced via a Scheduling Agreement, then MRP automatically creates schedule lines for this to meet MRP requirements.
However, if a separate PO is raised for the same material (irrespective of the supplier) at a date after one or more of the scheduling agreement schedule lines, MRP creates a message to reschedule in the PO in front of the schedule lines even if this is known to not be possible. the result is that the schedule lines for standard supply are not put in early enough.
And We don't want to fix the schedule lines in a t an early date to over come this.Is there any settings for the same.

Hello,
If you want to control MRP messages for rescheduling you can make settings in tcode : OMDW either at plant level or MRP group level.
You can introduce Tolerance value forward & Tolerance value for displacemt in No. of days here.
If system finds requiremnts within the tolerance no of days it will not create MRP Exception messages. This way you can avoid unwanted messages.
Thanks,
Ram

Delivery before the schedule line date in scheduling agreement.

Hi All,
I have a situation where in I am using JIT delivery schedule for processing the delivery requirement from customer. In this, lets say, I have a schedule as 08/05/2009 for material A to deliver 1000 qty and the material is made available to me after production as of 07/05/2009 and I want to despatch the material on 7th only and not on 8th. The system does not allow me to do this.It allows me to make a delivery only on 08/05/2009.
Is there any alternative to this and is this SAP standard behaviour.

I think you can change the schedule line date in scheduling agreement itself and do the delivery.

Sudhir

BAPI for VA02 to check availability & update the Schedule lines

Hi Experts,
Is there a BAPI which can 'check item availability' & update the Schedule lines for the same order?
I have checked 'RV_AVAILABILITY_CHECK' 'BAPI_MATERIAL_AVAILABILITY' 'SD_BACKORDER_UPDATE'
but it is not solving the purpose.
Kindly give your suggestion for the same.
Thanks.

Hi,
Please let me know if you were able to achieve this functionality. I have a similar requirement wherein I need to check for the material availability and update the schedule lines in the scheduling agreement. I checked the FM SD_BACKORDER_UPDATE, but it doesn't seem to be helpful.

Credit Release thru VKM3 remove the schedule line delivery block ...

HI Gurus,
I have created the sales order with the delivery block at the schedule line. i have save the order . The order goes to the credit block . So when i release credit block with the help of VKM3 then system also removes the schedule line level block.
This is not std behaviour . Can any one come across such scenario ?
Details: I have removed the routine 101 in the OVB8 so that if order goes to credit block still order will have the confirm qty.
Also in the OVAK order type is mark D for automatic credit check.
Thanks in advance

Hi ,
I have checked the sales order thru the program but we are not using any user exit for the same.
Now i have found that if the qty is confirm on the first date i mean on the date given then system does not remove the block & if the ATP check suggest the diff date so there are two schedule line in this case block get removed ..
May be this is like after credit removes system must be running the ATP check again ..
Please help

Link between the Schedule Lines and the GR document

Hi
I would like to find the link between the Schedule Lines (of Scheduling Agreement) and the GR document. i.e. which GR has been made against which Schedule Line. I have checked the tables EKET, EKBE, MSEG but there is no link with the Schedule Line, I found the link only with the item number there.
Thanks
Prashanth

Hi
At the time of posting the GR for a SA you will be not posting this with reference to the Schedule line of the SA item. So system will always update the GR document against the SA item and update qty on the schedule line.
May be this is the reason we donot have any direct relation ship to material document and Scheclue line
Thanks & Regards

Delivery date determination in the schedule lines

Hi,
       I have a question on the delivery date determination in the schedule lines of the sales order. If the goods issue date in the schedule line has been determined as 17th Aug 2009, and the transit time is 3 days. What should be the delivery date that will be proposed? Should it be 10 + 3 equal 20th Aug 2009, or it will be 21st Aug, which is the the following day of 10 + 3 ? I simulated in the sales order and it gave me 21st, my understanding was it should be just 17 + 3 = 20th Aug.
hope anyone can shed some light on the above. TQ

Hi ,
This is what F1 help says
Rounding-up period for delivery scheduling (in days)
    The amount of time that the system automatically adds as a safety margin
    to the estimated time required for processing a delivery.
Use
    The system adds the rounding-up margin to the time estimates for a
    delivery, regardless of whether the system
    o   Calculates the times from data in the master records, or
    o   Simply uses the default times that apply to the relevant shipping
        point.
This is F1 Help of rounding days and not my words..... you can also check in OVXD t-code.
Thanks,

Delivery block in the schedule lines.

Hi,
Mine is a MTO scenario. I am using planning strategy 50. So a planned order ---> production order will be created against MRP run against each sales order.
When i am placing a delivery block at the header the system is working fine. Its deleting the planned order(converted production order).
when I am placing a delivery block at the schedulle line its not working fine. its not deleting the underlined planned order or production order.
what configuration should I do to make this work.......

Hi,
Look at the help (press F1) on the field confirmation block at SPRO-> Sales and Distribution ->Basic functions ->Availability check and Transfer of Requirements ->Tranfer of Requirements -> Block quantity confirmation in delivery blocks ->Reasons for and Scope of Delivery Blocks: Transfer of Req. blocks.
It looks applying delivery block at schdule line level will not delete the passed requirements. This is standard SAP behavior. If you want to change this nature, then you may need to use an User-exit.
Following is description given for the field confirmation block;
Confirmation block
Indicates whether the system, in addition to blocking delivery, also blocks the confirmation of order quantities after an availability check during sales order processing.
Example
You may want to block confirmation of sales orders where the creditworthiness of the customer is in question. In this case, you set the confirmation block for the delivery block that relates to credit problems. During sales order entry, when you enter a delivery block because of credit problems, the system, after you save the order, does not confirm any quantities for delivery. In this way, the goods remain available for other customers.
Note
If, before you save a sales order, you look at the schedule line overview, you can see what the system would confirm, if the block were not set. However, as soon as you save the sales order, the confirmed quantities are automatically reset to zero.
Dependencies
If you enter the delivery block at header level, the system transfers the desired delivery quantity for all schedule lines in the requirement. The confirmed quantity is deleted. This function is not available when you enter the delivery block at schedule line level.

How to change the schedule line date in SO with reference to value contract

Hi SD Guru's,
I need to change the schedule line date in the sales order with reference to the value contract by using some algorithm that i will write. The problem that i can't find the suitable place to add the algorithm. I can't add it to the Copy control because there is no schedule lines in value contract and copy control for schedule lines does no exist.
I can not add to user exit MV45AFZZ , because order that was created with reference to the value contract, does not go through this user exit.
Do you have some ideas where i can add it?
Thanks and Regards
Viky
Edited by: Viky Sloutsky on Oct 20, 2010 12:43 PM

Hello Viky
How about using program MV45AFZB- USEREXIT_CHECK_VBEP or USEREXIT_MOVE_FIELD_TO_VBEPKOM
or program FV45EFZ1- USEREXIT_CHANGE_SALES_ORDER
Does the program go through these exits when an order is created with ref to a value contract??
Also I am wondering why you need to change a Schedule line determined by Availability check and/or delivery scheduling?

Text in the scheduling lines of a scheduling agreement.

hi,
is it possible to add text some where in the scheduling lines of a scheduling agreement (like how we can insert header text in the line item)??

yes.I agree with you that in all good processes schedules lines are automatically generated by MRP run.
On the other hand,some times due to incontigencies we are forced to manually add the schedule.At that time,my client wants to capture those incontigency reasons which he wants along with the schedule lines.
Please let me know whether SAP has got some way out for this issue.
Thanks.

Why the stock actually is enough currently..The Schedule line still..

Hi,
I am just in creating an Sales Order and i checked the Stock of the material is enough.
Then i put the Material Number and Qty. as the first line item input.
Then i got confused for the next...
As the System popuped an msg firstly:
The sum of the confirmed quantity exceeds the sum
of stock items
Then take me to the screen of Availability Control...Let me choose the date for complete delivery....
Why???Coz as i think that even today could delivery all the goods, coz the stock is enough!! why still arrange the Delivery in the future??? And then confimed Qty. in the future date....
Thanks!

hi,
pls check the factory calender you assigned to your sales organisation. in your factory calender you might have assigned sat,sunday as non-working days
hence the system is showing the schedule lines in future
pls reward points if the answer is helpful

VA02 changing the Schedule line

Hi All,
I have an issue where in one Sales order is created. after saving the order whenever you open in change mode(VA02), and though you do not make any changes, when it prompts for Save you say yes. Then if you see the changes made for the order in Environment-> chnges, for a perticular line item the schedule line two is deleted and created agian. It will be saved by the user id of the user who opend the order in the change mode.
when it promts for save, If you say NO, then no changes will be recorded.
Kindly help me with the issue.
Please let me know If any OSS notes exists for correction. Its happening only with a perticular order.
Thanks
Swathi

Dear Swathi,
Not sure if this is a standard issue. Could you please check with your ABAPer if they have done any changes in the user exit specific to orders?
thank you
