Issue with Scheduling agreements created with reference to Contract

We create scheduling agreements only with reference to contracts. A contract may have multiple Scheduling agreements linked to it. Now the problem is that when a scheduling agreement is being modified, it is creating a lock to all the other scheduling agreements which refers to the same contract. So till the time the user is out of change mode in Scheduling agreement, no other user is able to perform any transactions pertaining to other scheduling agreements (referring to the same Contract)
Is there anyway that we can address this?? Please suggest.

The record locks are needed to avoid data inconsistencies. If 2 users would be able to have the same document open in update mode, then how can you decide which entry will be used  for a table update? And what would you tell the other person? (Oh sorry, another user was quicker, please start all over again)
In some high frequent transactions SAP has developed some options like late locks for good movements, but more often you have to take organization measures like educating the users, and maybe reducing the number of items in a document and creating more documents instead.
If it is a real big headache then you have to talk to SAP, have to explain the situation, and hope that they either have already a solution or even realize that it is not needed to lock all and can create a solution per OSS note.

  • Scheduling agreement created with reference to contract-Issue

    Hi all,
               I had posted a query as how to update net price in the contract/scheduling agreement if the condition price is updated through inbound Idocs.I got the correct answer  as you need to run the report RM06ENP0/RM06ENP1 as per note 685117.
    But now I am having a different issue;the scenario is like: A scheduling agreement is created with reference to contract.So the SA is linked to contract now.I am now going to change the condition price of SA through Inbound Idoc.After the updation ,the condition price gets changed in all cases.
    In one server,I found that the net price gets updated and the link btn contract and SA is broken without running the report RM06ENP1(Ideal situation,this is what I want).In other server ,I found the net price is not getting updated,ie the link is not broken even after running the report RM06ENP1.
    Can anybody tell me why the second situation is happening?

    Hi,
    i have done ur scenario. According to ur scenario, quantity contract is created for 100 units may be kg, pc etc.. Then scheduling agreement is created with reference to that contract but for 200 units may be kg, pc etc.. Scheduling agreement is created without getting any error or warning message.
    In the Next step, i.e. maintain delivery schedule( Tcode: ME38). U get the ERROR message as Scheduling agreement document number xxxxx is does not exist after entering scheduling agreement number in the initial screen of ME38.
    if this information is useful for u, reward me according to ur usage.

  • Scheduling agreement update with Info record

    Hi,
    My company is working with scheduling agreement both with external vendors and Inter company purchasing. SA is created for a long term (in years) but the price negotiation takes place for a shot duration (One year or less). The requirement is that whenever the Purchase Info record is updated (by department X), it should automatically update the relevant SA (created/updated by department Y). Any delivery schedule created after new effective PIR price, should have the new price and if there is no price in PIR for that date it should throw an error...
    Thanks is advance
    Manu

    Hi..

    and another to check purchase info record at the time of delivery schedule creation to see if any valid purchase info record exists ..

    Hi,
    When you create a stock transport scheduling agreement, you can schedule the exact delivery dates for a stock transfer. Proceed as follows:
    From the Purchasing menu, choose Outline agreement -> Scheduling agreement -> Create trnspt sch.agm. ME37
    Fill out the initial screen. In the field Supplying plant enter the plant issuing the material. The agreement type LU is defined in the standard system. The item category must be U.
    When you press ENTER, the details screen for the header data is displayed.
    Enter the validity period and check the other entries on this screen, if necessary.
    Enter the individual items in the item overview screen. Enter a receiving plant for each item in the Plant field.
    Save the scheduling agreement.
    Enter delivery schedules for the scheduling agreement with the function Outline agreement ->Scheduling agreement -> Follow-on functions -> Delivery schedule.
    For configurations
    Go into SPRO
    Menu path is
    IMG -> MM -> Purchasing -> Scheduling agreement -> Set up stock transfer scheduling agreement
    A) Define shipping data for plants
    B) Create and define checking rule
    C) Assign delivery type and checking rule
    D) Assign Document type

  • Third party order processing with Scheduling agreements

    Gurus,
    I have a situation here, i am working with a automobile industry and customer sends us EDI 830's (FSD and JIT schedules). we are using scheduling agreements (Doc type - LZ) to process those schedules. I have couple of parts that we dont manufacture and we ask our vendors to ship it direct to customer. i am trying to set up a third party order processing for this sceanario but system is giving me message that i cant use scheduling agreements. i tested with sales order and it worked fine with that. Is there any way to figure out solution with scheduling agreements. Any help will be appriciated.

  • MRP Strategies that work well with schedule agreements

    Hello Experts, We are having a disucsion on using schedule agreements with our consignment process. What MRP Types and lot size keys work with scheduling agreements? One of our managers insists on using reorder point, and everything I have read seems to lead towards deterministic prodeure PD, and an exact lot size. I was hoping you could provide a proven strategy or tips.
    Thank you in advance,
    Brian

    Hello, Thank you both for your quick replies. Our company strategy is a reorder point strategy, that we force our vendors to read off of a web page, but the settings in the system are PD, and usually a 4 week lot size. The MRP data is dumped to the same web page as the reorder point information. It is expected that our vendor is managing the inventory. We also use a PO for the year parked at the end of the year for the entire supply. This method does not allows us to measure the vendor performance.
    We are currently have new proposal to use contracts and Kanbans with MRP. Where MRP is used for forecast information and Kanban controls the replenishment by sending a replenishment order to the vendor. This will give us a consumption based process, that can be measured.
    The other proposal is to use a schedule agreement with the same reorder point strategy. This is why I asked my question. I don't think that the reorder point strategy works with this type of order. From my understanding the scheduling agreement controls the delivery of the incoming material based on forecast and real demand. Is my understanding correct?
    The ulitimate goal is to have a system that provides our material on-time when it is needed. Easy for our vendors, and so we can measure the vendor against. On time delivey and stock outs.

  • Name of Proxies created with SE80 against created with SPROXY

    Hi All!
    I have a simple doubt.
    Exist any difference in the name of Poxies created with SPROXY against created with Object Navigator (SE80)?
    For example, the proxies created with SPROXY could be called "XI Proxy" and the Proxies created with Object Navigator could be called "WS Proxy".
    Helpful answers will be rewarded.
    Thanks and regards,
    Manuel.

    i am not sure of a standard way but when you try to create a proxy you are requested to enter the prefix for the proxy, you can use a different ones for the ones created from sproxy and differnt ones for the ones created from se80

    Edited by: Csaba Szommer on Sep 19, 2011 12:52 PM

    Hi,
    The basic difference between LP and LPA  is the way that the schedules are communicated to the vendor.
    for more clarity please refer the blow links.
