Forecast delivery schedule lines consumption

Hi,
I cannot fully understand what is the logic behind the consumption of the forecast delivery schedule lines. This is how the problem can be exactly defined:
- scheduling agreement with delivery orders (LZM)
- JIT delivery schedules are not used and no delivery schedule is maintained... just a forecast delivery schedule
- the whole process is manual, there is no EDI implied
- the cumulative received quantity is updated by an ABAP development that is triggered at delivery goods issue
The rest, happens normal - forecast schedule lines are updated weekly, the customer send pick-up sheets, a TAM delivery order is created, then delivery, GI...
The problem: not always the MRP requirements generated by the forecast delivery schedule lines are consumed by the delivery order/GI. If the delivery orders / deliveries are made on the exact quantity of the schedule lines everything works fine. It is also ok when there are two successive delivery orders with a cumulative quantity that matches exactly the forecast line. As soon as a over-delivery is made, everything turns upside-down: older delivered schedule lines appear again in planning as if nothing was delivered until now...
I suspect that the problem is related to the fact that the whole process is manual and updating the cumulative received quantity is not the only parameter that is counting... is it so? Or the forecast delivery schedule has to be respected 100% in terms of quantities and timing?
I would really appreciate your help.
Regards,
H.

Also please clarify whether delivery schedule lines in ME38 (even it is created automatically), in Planning time fence, will get affected by MRP run.

About selecting Scheduling Agreement and Forecast delivery schedule

Hi Experts,
i want to write a Report, with 2 parameters for the selection : Sold-to-party and Period
For this Sold-to-party/Period, I want to list all scheduling agreement + Forecast delivery schedule.
I already found the Function SD_VBEP_READ_WITH_VBELN to read all Forecast delivery schedule lines using Sales Doc.No. , but how can I select all Scheduling Agreement for the Period ?
Regards,
David

Solution:
by selecting data from table VEPVG (Delivery Due Index) and using function SD_VBEP_READ_WITH_VBELN for each SD Document.

Forecast delivery schedules and JIT deliveries

Hi Gurus,
Got a question on sales scheduling agreements schedule lines. Our customer sends 10 weeks of forecast delivery schedules and 2 weeks of JIT deliveries. which one of these two are passed to MD04?
Assuming only forecast delivery schedules are seen in MD04:
Assuming customer sends forecast delivery schedule for week2 as 50. but in JIT deliveries he only sent 40 for that week. if only forecast deliveries are see in md04, then my forecast and planning quantity is 50 , but actually my JIT delivery is only 40. AM I producing 10 extra? that means my planning is wrong?

925,
so in system it will show on 3/21 monday
I guess this means that you are entering using a Day format rather than Week format.
You have answered you own question already. If the online SAP help, which you have read and reasonably paraphrased, is not clear enough to make you understand this, I cannot help you.
JIT horizon is 3/23, Forecast is for 3/21.
As I stated before, even though it may in your mind represent a week's demand, it is still for one day. There is no bucketing, nor time-based disaggregation, nor consumption. It is just a scheduling agreement.
You wrote
am using MRP indicator D. that means within jit horizon, consider my jit quanity for requirements. and after jit horizon consider my forecast delivery schedules as requirements.
. This is a reasonable paraphrase of the SAP online help. Do you believe this?
Forecast schedule is for 3/21. NOT for W 12/2011. This is before the JIT horizon, isn't it? What do you think will happen to the forecast schedule, looking at the last 'rules' you just wrote? and as stated in the SAP help that you read?
Now you want to enter JIT schedules. 21/22/23/24/25/26. JIT horizon is 23. 24/25/26 are after JIT horizon. What do you think will happen, based on the 'rules' you just wrote?
I feel my time is being wasted when you keep asking me these questions, already having the answers explicitly stated in SAP oinline help. Since you do not have access to a system, this cannot be a support issue, it is a evidently a matter of idle curiosity for you. I therefore believe I will will move onto other forum questions, where there is a possibility that the questioners will get some business benefit from my answers.

Forecast delivery schedules incorrect cumulative release quantity.

Hi Gurus,
We implemented the standard LZM - Scheduling agreement with delivery orders solution for component suppliers.
The entire SAP standard configuration activated and the functionality is working correct.
u2022     Scheduling agreement type LZM / Item category LZMA / Schedule line category L2
u2022     Order Type TAM / / Item category TAMA / Schedule line category CP
Example:
Scheduling agreement forecast delivery schedule for 1000 units./ Md04 show SchAgr of 1000 units
Delivery order for 250 units (MD04 Shows Order for 250 units and SchAgr for 750 Units)
Created delivery for the order (MD04 shows Deliv. For 250 units SchAgr for 750 Units)
Goods issue the delivery / MD04 shows the SchAgr for 750 units.
*Issue:*
When we update the Cumulative quantity received by the customer it is summing up with the forecast quantity (double counting the shipped quantity).
When the Cumulative quantity received by the customer updated to remove the in-transit quantity, the forecast is adding by 250 units and   MD04 shows SchAgr for 1000 units.
Thanks & Regards
Suresh

Hi Suresh
The *** issued qty gets updated when the PGI for the delivery happens. There is a field called *** received by customer and it gets updated when customer sends the *** back in the 830 or 862 as the case may be.
The difference between the *** issued and the *** recieved is always shown in transit.
If you do not want the schedule line to be opened up, then in *** recd change it to the *** issued or ideal option is populate the last delivery PGI'd on the delivery number field next to *** recd field. Hope this helps and let me know if you need any more informataion
Regards

Importance of Forecast Delivery Schedules in SD scheduling agreements

Hi ALL,
I would just like to consult you a scenario that I'm facing.
When I create a JIT scheduling agreement, even though that schedule lines are maintained for the JIT delivery schedule tab, if the Forecast delivery schedule tab has no schedule lines, the NET value of the document will be zero.
Can you explain the Logic behind this?
Also, why am I not allowed to create an outbound delivery and invoice if the Forecast Delivery schedule tab has no schedule lines?
I know that the document will be incomplete without the net value, but why is it even though schedule lines are created in the JIT tab?
Please help me with this.
Thanks in advance guys!

This is what I found out in an SAP “Knowledge Base Article" (1472965), indicating that there has to be requirements in the forecast delivery schedule in order for the schedujle agreement line item to not be considered incomplete for price.
https://websmp230.sap-ag.de/sap/support/notes/convert2pdf/002007204200000153012010?sap-language=EN
Resolution
l You have to enter schedule lines for the forecast delivery schedule
l The VBAP-NETWR is calculated based on forecast delivery schedule and not according to the JIT delivery schedule

Planning delivery schedule , forecast delivery schedule , JIT delivery sche

Hi
could any one tell me the difference between Planning delivery schedule , forecast delivery schedule , JIT delivery schedule & their respective ways of processing delivery???????????????????????????????????????????????/

Hello Friend,
Planning Delivery Schedule:
You want to plan requirements for a certain customer for the next 16 weeks. You create a planning delivery schedule on the basis of information that you have gathered in an internal planning system. A few days later, the customer sends you a forecast delivery schedule that covers only 12 weeks. You decide to generate a planning delivery schedule by copying the schedule lines from the forecast delivery schedule for those 12 weeks, splitting them into units and days that fit your production schedule. For the remaining four weeks that you require, you simply adopt schedule lines from the previous planning delivery schedule in the scheduling agreement.
For another customer, you create a six-week planning delivery schedule on the basis of internal data. When the customer sends in a forecast delivery schedule for the same six weeks, you notice that the first four weeks of schedule lines in the customer delivery schedule are detailed enough for production, but the last two are inaccurate. You decide to copy the first four weeks of schedule lines unchanged into the new planning delivery schedule. You adopt the remaining two weeks of schedule lines from the previous planning delivery schedule, which already exists in the scheduling agreement.
Forecast Delivery Schedule:
For an SD scheduling agreement, a customer sends a forecast delivery schedule containing requests for individual schedule lines. On the SD side, a delivery can be created automatically from this.
JIT Delivery Schedule:
A release carried out at an exact point in time of quantities in a schedule line (of a delivery schedule).
The JIT delivery schedule is way of fine tuning production for the customer and shipping for the vendor.
The term is used predominantly in the automobile component supplier industry.
Delivery in Forecast in done through VL10 & VL01N and Delivery through JIT is done from JITK.

Order of delivery schedule line counter at schedule agreements from MRP run

Currently we are using schedule agreements for our long term external suppliers, but we are facing a problem with the order of new delivery schedule lines created during MRP run.
Because of master data settings like, lot size, rounding value, plan delivery time and planning time fence to set as firm new requirements, multiple schedule lines are created with no order for schedule line counter.
Does anyone is aware of a BADI, user exit or customizing control to have this schedule line counter in order?
Thank you

Scheduling Agreement - Delivery schedule line number

Hi,
I am developing a report to show the Goods receipt postings for each delivery schedules of Schedule agreements.
I am not able to find Delivery Schedules line(EKET-ETENR) in Material document table(MSEG).
How do we exactly link the GR quantity to Scheduling agreement Delivery schedules.
We have line item number but not delivery schedules.
GR quantity may be posted to different delivery scheules and for some SAs when the MRP Runs it is positng randomly.
Is there function to find the link,
Searched EKBE, EKET, MSEG and other tables also.
Appreciate your help <offer removed by moderator>.

Hi Shravan,
Thanks for answering, I checked those two tables EKEH, EKEK are release tables. We have some SAs without release documentation. I have to find the delivery schedules using the GR document to which delivery schedules the qty it is delivering.
It is not posting the qty from top of schedules, for some SAs it posted randomly.
Any other ideas or any function modules,
In BW it is possible using extractor but we need in R/3
Thanks,

The delivery schedule lines don't get created automatically on MRP run.

Hi All,
The delivery schedule lines don't get created automatically on MRP run for subcontracting material. I have maintained source list as follow eg.
Valid from | Valid to | Vendor | Porg | PPI | Agreement | Item | Fix | MRP | MRP area
02.11.2009 | 31.12.2999| XYZ | XY01| |AA0000XYZE |10 | X |2 | ABC
Could you please help me about this issue
Thanks in advance.

Hi Amit,
Please ensure the value of Special procurement key in the MRP2 view for the material. It should be maintained as 30 - subcontracting.
Thanks and Regards,

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..

MRP creating multiple delivery schedule lines in PR

Hi,
We have activated MRP (type PD) where Purchase requiesition is auto created by system for requirement quantity. We require to optimize delivery schedule in such a way that entire PR quantity is broken into various delivery schedule based on planned delivery time and requirement. Scenario can be further explained with following example.
Material Requirement for a month is say 1,25,000 units
Closing Stock say 25,000 units
PR Generated by system for 1,00,000 units. The entire quantity is schdulled with only one delivery schedule line as per planned delivery time.
The requirement is to generate multiple delivery schedule lines automatically in Purchase requisition based on planned delivery time so that Purchase orders can be placed with system generated delivery schedule lines.
How can it be achieved ?
Regards,
Nirav Kinkhabwala

Dear
Are you dealing with Single vendor where you want Multiple Schedule Line item through single PR which should be generated through MRP run ??
What you will have to do is to set up the Outline Agreement or Info Record for your vendor and material and then create the source record for this vendor- material relationship and make sure that this source record is set as MRP relevant. Once MRP is run, the vendor is automatically defaulted to your PRs. If in your material master, you have defined the same purchasing group for various material numbers, then with Transaction ME59, it is feasible that you can combine various PRs of the same purchasing group by flagging onto the 'Per Purchasing Group' indicator checkbox. Make a trial test and let me know how it goes.
Or you can use Qouta arrabgement in that case for different vendor .Please refer : Multiple Requisition line itme for Quota arrangement
Just check and revert

SCHEDULE AGREEMENT-DELIVERY SCHEDULE LINE ITEM PRINTING

Scheduling agreement is created in ECC.
Delivery schedule line items are generated using APO and CIFed over to ECC.
Upon displaying in ME38 in ECC, the delivery schedule line items are appearing as required. The problem is that no output type is displayed for condition type LPET even though the settings are done & condition records are maintained.
Can someone throw some light on this?

Hi Anil ,
Goto Transaction NACE , Select Application EL and then Click on O/p Types.
Select your o/p and click on Processing routines.
Make a copy of medium 1 and change it to 5. The program , Form , Form routine would remain the same.
Maintain condition records with medium 5 in MN10.
Ensure that email address exists in Vendor Master.
Check with ur Basis to make sure that the setting are done in Transaction SCOT for sending document via PDF.
Create a new Agreement and test it.

Scheduling Agreement Delivery Schedule Line Remains When Fully Delivered

Hi Experts!
I had an issue regarding our scheduling agreements. Issue is below:
Our delivery schedule lines remain on the delivery schedule list item detail screen (VA32 or VA33), even though the delivery has been delivered and completed. The only way this seems to disappear is when a new schedule line is loaded. Why do the old delivery schedule lines remain on the JIT delivery schedule list even though they have been fully delivered and completed?
This is an urgent matter. Any responses will be greatly appreciated and points. Thank you for your time!!
Best Regards,
WC

Hi
When you do the MRP Run at MD02, maintain the Delivery Schedules as 3 (schedule lines), so when ever you do the MRP Run, it will run along with the delievry date.
reward if it helps
