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.

  • Scheduling agreement Fcst del schedules and JIT question

    We have a requirement of not sending forecast delivery schedules TOR to MRP from SA.
    Instead, we take this forecast delivery schedules and massage the data (add or delete) and then send it to MRP as regular forecast (PIR).
    so when the JIT schedules come, does the forecast get consumed with the JIT's in MD04?
    lets say, I got 100 pc for 2nd week of July 2011 as forecast delivery schedule from customer and I loaded them into MRP as PIR
    and I got JIT for only 90 PC for the 2nd week of july 2011.in MD04 will the 90 get consumed from the PIR??

  • 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.

    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.

  • 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,

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

  • 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.

  • 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

  • SD - SA Forecast Schedules  and JIT calls

    Hi Experts,
    We have a situation here - customer sends Forecast Schedules (for planning) and JIT calls through inbound 830 and 862 respectively. When 830 hits SAP system the schedules on forecast tab are replaced with new schedules in the existing SA from the schedules in 830. The customer then sends 862 - JIT Calls on a need basis.
    The situtation here is Customer can only confirm a certain quantity in one JIT call for a given JIT horizon date. So customer ends up sending multiple JIT calls for the same material (most of the times they are in the same transmission). All these JIT calls need to be added as schedules in SAP irrespective of the similar existing schedules within a given JIT horizon.
    The issue is SAP can only copy old schedules which are outside of the given JIT horizon when a new JIT schedule is added. Is there a way to handle this situation and add all the JIT schedules which are sent in different JIT calls regardless of JIT horizon.
    Any help in this regards is highly appreciated. Points guaranteed for helpful answers.
    Regards,
    Gajendra

    Implemented an enhancement in the ODETTE logic using the new enhancement technique. This enhancement looks for a special rule assignment for the customer in OVA9. If the rule is assigned then it copies the existing delivery schedule lines to the new delivery schedule regardless of the new delivery schedule date.

  • 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

  • Delivery schedules in SA(LPA)

    Gurus,
    I have created a LPA scheduling agreement and generated JIT schedule lines with Firm and Tradeoff zones through MRP.
    Now, I want to release them manually.
    could anyone let me know how these have to be released and sent to vendor with all the information about the zones.
    I would really appreciate your help in this regard.
    Cheers

    Hi
    You can create the SA release using transaction ME84.
    Use transaction ME35L for approving/releasing the scheduling agreement.
    For SA releases to be transmitted as messages to the vendor, the following settings must be made in Customizing for Purchasing:
    Releases (Message Determination) at Item Level
    In order for a separate message to be generated for each SA release (i.e. per scheduling agreement item and release type), you must set the Release message indicator in Customizing for Purchasing under
    Define Message Schemas for SA Release/Expediter - > Assign Schema: SA Release/Expediter.
    If you do not select the Release message indicator, the messages will be generated at header level. You can then view the messages under
    Header->  Messages.
    If you select the Release message indicator, the messages will be generated at item level. The messages generated are listed in the release documentation.
    If you have initially not selected the indicator, messages will be generated at header level. If you select the Release message indicator at a later point in time, you will find the newly generated messages in the release documentation. You will still find the already generated messages under Header ->Messages.
    Define "Main Message Type"
    You must designate just one message type as the "main message type" for each SA release type (FRC or JIT delivery schedule) in Customizing for Purchasing, and set the indicator A (update print-dependent data) for this message type.
    This means that when an SA release with the "main message type" is outputted, the print-dependent data is updated in the SA item, the SA releases, and the delivery schedule lines. Only if an SA release is outputted with the main message type is it taken into account in the current stock/requirements list, for example.
    You set this indicator using the fine-tuned control facility for the message type.
    In the case of scheduling agreements with release documentation (document type LPA), the message types LPH1 and LPJ1 are used for forecast delivery schedules and JIT delivery schedules respectively in the standard system.
    In the case of scheduling agreements without release documentation (document type LP), the message type LPET is used in the standard system. In this case, no release is created. Instead, the message is generated as soon as the scheduling agreement delivery schedule (specifying the scheduled quantity) is created or changed.
    Outputting Releases in the Main Message Type
    All releases must always be created with the main message type because the system will otherwise not update the print-dependent data. This is particularly important if you are working with different message types.
    You send SA releases to the vendor with the main message type LPH1. You provide the forwarder or carrier with a copy (message type LPH2) and create a printout for your own files (message type LPH3).
    If you send SA releases to the majority of your vendors as printouts (i.e. in hardcopy form) and have an EDI arrangement with just a few of them, you can create message records for the main message type:
    At document type level with the transmission medium "Print", and
    At vendor/purchasing organization/EDI level with the transmission medium "EDI" for the EDI vendors.
    Do not set the change indicator in the message overview. A set indicator has no effect in the case of scheduling agreement releases. As a general rule, the system outputs all releases that have not yet been transmitted.
    For full details you can follow the link
