RE: Firming for Schedule Lines

Hi MM Gurus,
I have posted this question to ERP Manufacturing (PP) forum as I thought this is related to MRP settings.
I am working with MRP creating schedule lines automatically, I need way to have firming indicator for the schedule lines that created out of MRP. I have checked the forums and did some research, all mentioned about the time zones
Firm zone (zone 1) - Firmed
Trade-off zone (zone 2) - Semi Firmed
Planning zone (zone 3) - Forecast
But checking my Scheduling Agreement, ITEM > MORE FUNCTIONS > ADDITIONAL DATA, in the scheduling control portion the FIRM ZONE field and TRADE OFF ZONE field are not modifiable. I have changed SA-->Define document type for SA type to ensure that the indicator for scheduling agreement release documentation is ON. And defined the scheduling control field as optional, but still the FIELDS are grayed out/unmodifiable.
Is there any other configuration change I need to do in order to activate this?
Thanks,
Richard

  • Firming for Schedule Lines

    Hi Everyone,
    I am working with MRP creating schedule lines automatically, I need way to have firming indicator for the schedule lines that created out of MRP. I have checked the forums and did some research, all mentioned about the time zones
    Firm zone (zone 1) - Firmed
    Trade-off zone (zone 2) - Semi Firmed
    Planning zone (zone 3) - Forecast
    But checking my Scheduling Agreement, ITEM > MORE FUNCTIONS > ADDITIONAL DATA, in the scheduling control portion the FIRM ZONE field and TRADE OFF ZONE field are not modifiable. Can you let me know if there's any other way where I can update this?
    Thanks in advance,

    Hi, In the config SA-->Define document type for your SA type ensure that the indicator for scheduling agreement release documentation is ON.
    The fields relevant for the doc.type are specified by the entry in the 'Fleld selection' field. (like LPA or LPL).
    Go to Define screen layout at document level.For the Field selection as above choose Scheduling control and double click on the above.
    I can only guess that as you are using a customised SA type, the entry is selected as 'Display' for the fields for a custom Field selection again(NOT EQ LPA or LPL).
    If yes, you can make it optional or Required.
    See if this sorts out your issue.
    Although it looks like a ordinary field control change, am not sure what impact inconsistencies/changes like this would bring.
    Better to check with MM consultants before making use of the changes.
    LP vs LPA: With LP the schedule lines are instantly transferred to vendor. With LPA you have the option to use a creation profile etc to transmit the data in your preferred time bucket at a later stage and then transmit it and not instantly like LP.

  • 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,

    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.

  • Step wise config data for schedule line agreements

    DEar All,
    I need urgently one the foolowing doc:
    step wise config data for schedule line agreements.
    thanks
    regards,
    s KUMAR

    Hi,
    1) Scheduling Agreement is a long term agreement and PO is normally a one-off. When you have long term relation with supplier you will go with SA.
    2) SA need not have delivery schedules at the time of ordering. It's like a contract with vendor for all basic prices, quantities & terms. You will release schedules as & when required. This method is very popular with manufacturing ind (e.g. automotive) where they negotiate prices but delivery schedules are given periodically based on their actual production/sales demands.
    3) In a PO, you must give schedules in PO itself.
    4) If you know contract & release order (or call-off) concept, then SA is like contract and SA schedule is like release order. PO is release order.
    or
    While using schedule agreement, you will create delivery schedule, when ever you require materials.
    Firm and trade off zone in delivery schedule details will be forwarded to your vendor. you can create daily , weekly , monthly schedule lines
    Example : if you have created a schedule agreement for product " A " for quantity 1000, and you require material of 100 nos in the first month, you can create schedule line for this 100 only and this will be transmitted to vendor( if you are using LPA you have to release schedule line). when ever you require further qty based on your requirement you will create another delivery schedule line, then it will be transmited to vendor.
    In case of PO if you are ordering 1000 qty , you need to specify the delivery date in Purchase order it self, and all the dates are immediately transmited to vendor along with Purchase order.
    For configuration steps please follow

  • 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.

  • Item & for schedule line & is in the work area

    Hi All,
    We added some custom fields on the schedule line tab and also in VBEP table. For thie same we also added code in the PBO module of SAPMV45A/4500 screen#. Since we added the code we are getting the error message# V1357 with description 'Item 000010 for schedule line 000040 is in the work area'.
    I did check the forum and found couple of notes with this error and some replies say that it is for the quality issue. I tried going to OQ77. But i am pretty sure it is because of what i codded. Because When i comment my code so error shows up. But I am not sure what is the problem with my code.
    Here is the sample of my code that i wrote in my PBO module:
        IF  XVBEP-VBELN IS NOT INITIAL.
            INPUT = MARA-BRGEW * XVBEP-WMENG.
            PERFORM CONVERSION.   "This is the module that i wrote to convert from G to LB.
            XVBEP-ZTOTALWT = OUTPUT.
            xvbep-updkz = 'U'.
            modify xvbep index ivbep-tabix.
        ENDIF.
    Please let me know if i am doing wrong anywhere in the code.
    Thanks,
    Karuna.

    Issue: I got the issue resolved. The mistake i made was the local structure was holding last item which has 1 schedule line and the my first item10 was having more than 1 schedule lines and trying to loop all the schedule lines. As the last item has only one schedule line i was getting the problem.
    Solution: I reset the structure to that it will loop from the first line item instead of it holding the last item#.
    Hope this helps.

  • GRs created for schedule line of future date

    While making Goods Receipts using MIGO transaction, we are seeing tha GRs can be done for scheduling agreements having schedule line of future dates. Is there some way of restricting the GR upto to current date only. Meaning suppose if I have the following schedule lines:
    category of delivery date         delivery-date           schedule quantity
    M                                               01.2010                   100
    M                                               02.2010                    200
    M                                               03.2010                    150
    Currently the system is allowing to do GRs of quantity = 450 (100 + 200 + 150) in the month of February, 2010.
    But I want that while doing a GR in February, 2010 the system should allow to do GR of quantity 300 only (100 + 200). Please let me know how we can do so in the system.
    Regards,
    Pratima.

    Dear Veer,
    Your answer has helped in the MIGO transaction. Please let me know if something similar is possible for inbound deliveries also. Meaning like in MIGO transaction, I should not be able to make inbound deliveries (in xns VL31N) for schedule lines of future dates / months.

    Pratima.

  • Shipment for schedule line

    hi,
    For our Scenario., schedule line is generated from scheduling agreement with vendor.
    And, Shipment for schedule line is created successfully, using VSR Optimization.
    and in OLTP Generation of deliveries, I am getting List with my shipment for which the deliveries to be generated in ECC.
    but while executing, I am not getting any error (except application log in /SAPAPO/C3) as well as no delivery created in ECC which stopping me for "check Release of planned shipment. " and move the shipment to ECC
    Could anyone suggest me how to process the shipment for schedule line (based on scheduling agreement)
    Regards

    Delivery generation was blocked in ECC, cahnged teh confirmation control key in shceduling agreement (0036)
    this allowed me to generate Delviery in ECC

  • Inbound Delivery for Schedule Lines of future date

    We have a requirement where in we want to disallow inbound creation for scheduling agreements for schedule lines of the future. For example if we have the following schedule line for a scheduling agreement
           Month        Quantity
    M    01.2010     100
    M    02.2010     200
    M    03.2010     150
    Currently the system is allowing inbound delivery creation of quantity = 450 (100 + 200 + 150) in the month of February, 2010.
    But I want that the system should allow inbound delivery creation in February, 2010 for quantity 300 only (100 + 200). Please let me know how we can do so in the system.
    Regards,
    Pratima.

    Hi Rami ,
    Maintain different schedule lines in PO - Item Details - Delviery Schedule tab.
    This would allow only those qty that is due on that date when creating inbound delivery.

  • Open quantity for scheduling lines

    Hi,
    I need calculate open quantity from scheduling lines(based on date) for Scheduling Agreement (similar like VL10I works). I noticed that open quantity is not maintain in VBEP. So could you help me?
    BR,
    Z

    Hi,
    For calculating open quantity for scheduling lines ,u need to query the sales order number in table VBUK and check the field GBSTK , it will be an open order .
    You can look in table VBAKUK for this .
    This is Join of VBAK and VBUK entries. You can eliminate a join if you fetch it from VbakUk
    Now once it is confirmed that it is open then fetch the entries from VBAP.
    Hope it helps you.
    Thanks,

  • Use of NOSCL(Counter for scheduling lines) in 02LIS_02_SCL

    Hi,
    I want to extract PO value from 02LIS_02_SCL in BW. The value which I get in PSA table is +ve and -ve. I am boserving the sum value for any PO is zero.
    I wanted to know what is the use of NOSCL(Counter for scheduling lines) in 02LIS_02_SCL? I can observe that PO value corresponding to NOSCL =1 is +ve, i.e. I am getting all the +ve value in order for which NOSCL = 1. The positive PO value is as per R3 data.
    Thanks in advance

    Dear SDBI,
    Thanks for reply.
    I checked for rejection indicator. Again for every positive value there is negative value and for every negative value, its marked with rejection status. So when value for any  particular value is summed up, we get result value as zero.
    I need following information:
    1. Is it possible for every every positive PO value, there is negative value?
    2. How to reconcile the data in PSA of 2LIS_02_SCL with R3 tables?
    Thanks again.
    Jaydeep.

  • Screen size problem for schedule line bdc

    Hi All,
    I created a bdc for schedule line item maintainance of sales order thro' VA02,I did all coding on 20 inch color monitor in which the schedule line screen shows 18 lines using that i did recording for bdc.But when keyuser executes BDC on laptop it is not procceding.
    Please help me out with solution which is applicable on all kind of screens
    Regards
    Gaurav

    When you use BDC, you may have issues with screen size because number of lines displayed in table controls (and step loops) may vary according to the user screen, when the BDC is recorded (depending on recorder screen size), and then executed in A or E mode depending on user's screen size. When it's N mode, a default screen size is used by SAP.
    The only solution is then to both record and execute the BDC by activating the default/standard size checkbox (if you use CALL TRANSACTION: it's DEFSIZE field in CTU_PARAMS structure of the OPTIONS FROM keyword).
    For more information, refer to the documentation and the [BDC wiki|http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/ABAP/BatchInput-+BDC] + separate FAQ
