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 IsaacHi,
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. -
MRP is not generating any schedule line in my vendor's scheduling agreement
Hello all,
My question is: why the MRP is not generating any new line in my vendor's scheduling agreement?
This is the scenario:
I have created a vendor's scheduling agreement with transaction ME31L
I have created a customer's scheduling agreement with transaction VA31 and those characteristics:
- Forecast scheduling lines
- JIT scheduling lines
- MRP to DS type assigned to type C: Requirements according to forecast delivery/Deliveries according to JIT
I have run MRP with transaction MD01
MRP is generating some purchasing requistions, not purchase orders because we have set up a release strategy which requires 2 approvals, but those purchasing requests are not generating any new line in the vendor's scheduling agreement.
Any idea why it could be? Please do not hesitate to ask for further explanations. Thank youHi,
Check if stock is available for the material in that plant.
Also check the requirement date for the material and compare it with the planning horizon for that plant.
Check your material master MRP view.
Create source list(for material and plant in question) with MRP indicator 2.
Thanks and Regards,

How vendor get info of schedule lines
Hello Gurus,
I am creating schedule lines from scheduing agreement. Now how does vendor come to know about these schedule lines.
How vendor will be communicated about the new requirement? Schedule lines are generated in our system not in vendor's
system.
Regards,
VM - Learning MMThe scheduling lines can be transmitted to the vendor means that the output type can be triggered as per the requirement in SAP. check the configuration node.
Materials Management - > Purchasing -> Messages -> Message Determination Schemas - > Define Message Schema for Scheduling Agreement Release/Expediter
hope this helps you. -
Released schedule line in firm zone changed in the background
Hi
I need to understand why and how a Released schedule line in firm zone can be changed in the background?If the qty is not transmitted to the vendor using message transmission, system does not firm the qty with in planning time fence.
So pls chk your planning time fence as well.
Also pls chk the below link

Hi,
In MD04 we can able to see the * indicator for some of the schedulelines which got firmed due to the firm zone period. But when we look into the same schedule lines in ME38 fixing indicator is not set for the same schedule lines..
Kindly explain these two indicator difference. Also clarify lines whcih are fimred due to the firm zone peroid have the fix indicator in ME38 or not.
Thanks in advance.hello Rajprabhu,
The scheduling agreement schedule line is not firmed physically:The
fixing indicator (EKET-FIXKZ) is empty for this schedule line.
This can be checked in Transaction ME39 or with Transaction SE16 for
table EKET for the corresponding schedule line.
In the MRP group of the corresponding material, it is set that only
transferred scheduling agreement schedule lines should be regarded as
firmed (Transaction OPPR, firming scheduling agreement, Firm
transmSLines [Field XFAT1]).
In this case, only such scheduling agreement schedule lines are firmed
which were transferred by message transmission through purchasing to the
vendor. (see also the F1 help for the field).
However, the system displays all scheduling agreement schedule lines as
fixed in Transaction MD04 within the release period and assigns them
with a star ('*'), that is, this applies also scheduling agreement
schedule lines with a transmitted quantity of 0.
In contrast to the above, these schedule lines are not displayed as
fixed in Transaction MD05 or in the planning with 'Display result'.
Note 354164 explains this system behavior.
For the planning, the transmitted quantity is considered as fixed if
this is correspondingly set in the MRP group of the material.
If the transmitted quantity was updated correctly, it should be
contained in field AMENG of table EKET.
By using Transaction SE16 for this table and the corresponding schedule
line (scheduling agreement number EBELN, item EBELP, schedule line
ETENR), you should be able to find out whether a transmitted quantity
was written to the database and a fixing can be carried out
correspondingly in amount of the transmitted quantity or whether no
update of the transmitted quantity occurred (see below Notes 82169,
117093, 134356).
First, the system behaves as intended.
It should be checked whether the function, which is controlled by this
indicator, is actually wanted this way (to firm only scheduling
agreement schedule lines which actually have been transferred).
In addition, problems can occur in purchasing when the printed quantity
is updated (AMENG).This symptom can especially occur after you have
upgraded from a release < Release 4.0A to a release > Release 4.0B.
In this regard, see the related Notes 82169, 117093 and 134356.

Using SQVI to generate report of open and released delivery schedule lines
All,
I'm using SQVI to generate an excel spreadsheet for some buyers to show open released schedule lines because they are a 1 line item per scheduling agreement company.
I used the logical database MEPOLDB instead of a table joint and pulled fields from EKKO(vendor, SA #,&purchasing group), EKPO(Material Number), EKEH(schedule line type), and EKET(delivery date, scheduled qty,previous qty).
Does this sound like I'll get the results I want on paper as long as I use the right selection criteria, because the report I'm getting isn't quite what I expect? I am unable to identify which lines are authorized to ship vs. trade-off zone, planning, etc. in the report thus far.Hi Mark,
I have faced same requirement. I am not sure about transporting to TST and PROD. I done by this way.
After generating SQVI program in DEV , I assigned that program to a transaction and tested in DEV. Later i have regenarated SQVI in Production. then I assigned the generated Program to same transaction in DEV. And transported the Tcode assignment of program to Production..
About authorization , if its not sensitive report, BASIS can restrict at transaction level.

MRP - Auto creation of del schedule lines based on planned delivery time
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 KinkhabwalaNirav,
This subject has been discussed repeatedly in this and other forums. I must assume that you overlooked the rules of engagement, which state that you should first search the forums and other public sites, before posting questions here.
Standard SAP MRP cannot be made to generate multiple items in a Purchase requisition. The functionality you seek is usually achieved when converting purchase reqs to Purchase orders, where many single purchase reqs can be adopted into a single Purchase order.
You also might want to investigate use of Vendor Scheduling agreements.

Schedule Line(Delivery Schedule) generation stopped
Dear Experts,
We are using Scheduling Agreeements to procure materials from Vendor.We are using MRP(type PD) to generate our requirements.We have noticed that ,for a Schedule Agreement- MRP generates Delivery Schedules accordingly,but if user will try to interven the process by entering a manual schedule line with some quantity,and Fix Indicator is getting fixed,after that MRP is not able to generate Schedule Lines,henceforth.
We had done the same things earlier,but MRP was able to generate Schedule Lines even after manual intervention by user.We have not maintained Fix indicator in Source List also and the particular material and the Agreement both have been marked as MRP relevant against that Vendor in Source List.
If we will remove the open delivery schedules having Fix indicator fixed ,after that we run MRP,then the Schedule Lines are getting generated,but for those Schedule Lines(Manual or thorough MRP) having Fixed Indicator fixed and have GRN transaction completed,we would not be able to delete those and also MRP will not be able to generate Delivery Schedules.Please advice what is the reason behind this and share the full concept of Fixed Indicator against the same?
Regards,
SoumickIt looks we encountered very similar problem,one item line in our Scheduling Agreeements can't be driven by MRP MD02/MD41,but if we add another same line item under this SA, this new line can be driven by MD02,and generated delivery schedule line.
I don't know why. Please give me some light! Thanks! -
MRP To Generate SCHEDULE LINES for Scheduling Agreement
Hi
I have followed the below steps but still the Schedule lines is not generated for scheduling agreement.
1Maintain MRP views 1,2,3,4 for the material in material mste.(MM01)
2. Maintain Purchase Info Record for the vendor plant & material combination.(ME11)
3. Create Scheduling agreement using ME31L
4. Maintain source list for the material & the scheduling agreement # and Line item set the MRP relevant indicator 2 (Necessary ?) ME01
During Run MRP for the material.the below details entered///
Processing key NETCH Net Change in Total Horizon
Create purchase req. 1 Purchase requisitions in opening period
Schedule lines 3 Schedule lines
Create MRP list 1 MRP list
Planning mode 1 Determination of Basic Dates for Planned
Run MDBT or MD02 but still doesn't create the schedule lines......Anything else missing.
MRP1:
MRP Procedure: PD
MRP Group: 0000 (External Procurement only)
Lot Size: EX (Lot For Lot)
MRP2:
Procurement Type: F
Sched Margin Key: 000
MRP3:
Avilablity chec: 02 (Individual requirement)
MRP: 4
NilRaj,
Source List a Mandatory for Scheduling Agreement, if you want to create automatic Scheduling line.
Plz use (2) in MRP RELEVENT tab in ME01 (Source List).
rest of the thing is ok, make sure a material master(MRP 2 VIEW) in that view you have to give a planed delivery days. it is must.
HOPE IT WILL WORK

*MRP unable to create Delivery Schedule Lines in MM Scheduling Agreement*
Hi Experts,
I need your help...
The issue is, in-spit of maintaining Source List with an u201CScheduling Agreement with item No.u201D & u201CSource List Usage in MRPu201D as 2 (Record relevant to MRP. Sched. lines generated automatically), MRP run does not generate Schedule Lines, instead PRs are created.
Please help me to understand such behavior and fix the issue as the requirement is to generate Schedule Lines only.
Thanks,
PratapHello
Please check
1) Source List maintained properly in terms of Material # ; plant # ; proper POrg ; Schd Agr # and line item# ; proper validity date & MRP relevant indicator
2) Please also check Quata arrangement if you are using. whether % is maintained correctly against the vendor
3) MD03 , Delivery schedules- should be 3
4) check your planning horizon whether it is NETCH or not
5) check material master -MRP2 view, Procurement type is F- external procurement, schedule margin key if you are using
if everything above is set, then I feel it should work
Also please verify-
lot size, safety stock and the corresponding prod volume for MRP input v/s the stock available in MMBE
example.
MD04, we can see the open del lines.
if SS = 50 , prod volume is 150
1) if MMBE shows 200 then it wont generate any schedule.
2) if MMBE is 180 and your lotsize is 40, then after MD03, you will have a schedule line of 40 (provided if everything is set properly)
Please ensure there are NO open delivery lines . if you find such in MD04, then please close open delivery lines
in calculation of MRP, system considers such open delivery lines are going to receive and no additional schedule line generated even after MRP run

How to get GR posting date for schedule line of scheduling agreement?
I had hard time to tie the GR date to schedule lines. I need this information to generate vendor performance report. However, the GR date is tied to scheduling agreement item level only. One item line can have multiple schedule lines. Is there a way to link the GR date to actual schedule line? Thanks in advance!
Hi,
There will be icon called PO history in the over view screen of SA.Select the item and press it.May be this will be some what useful to you.

Scheduling Agreement Vs Schedule Lines
Dera All,
ECC 6.0
We are working on Scheduling agreement and schdelue line for Raw Material Procurement , for this we have created the Scheduling agreemnt for vendor say for 100 kg for next 12 months, and maintained the source list in ME01 with "2" to get the schedule lines auto generation once we run the MRP.
Dependenet requirement for next 12 months = 1200
After MRP run the schedule lines are generating in ME38 for all 12 months = 1200 kg , but we have maintained the schedule agreement for 100 kg only , so can we restrict system to generate the schedule lines in ME38 for 100 kg only ?
I mean in ME38 schedule lines should not plant More than scheduling agreement
Pls help me to resolve this .....
Thanks in advance,
Regards,
Rajesh patilHi, Not sure of any work around.
Post-ME38 phase SAP gives the option of ensuring that 'Scheduled quantity & & greater than target quantity & &' with the 06/067 message and this requirement is Pre-ME38 phase.
A similar requirement got raised today after your response, in the MM forum, and it also received the same response.

Automatic Delivery schedule line proposal on scheduling agreements
Hi Experts,
I have a requirements where client wants to have automatic schedule lines in outline agreement i.e. scheduling agreements.
Is there any standard functionality available for configuring this type functionality or we have to customize?
If standard functionality available please suggest which document type we have to use, and what are all the other settings we have to make to work this functionality.
Thanks
NathDear Jagnnath,
The best solution is to create a source list. You can create source list directly from the outline agreemnt main screen (Menu Bar -> Environment) or else use t code ME01. In source list maintain the validity, Pur Org, outline agreement , MRP=2. Here you may set the check box 'FIX', by doing this always scheduling lines will generate with this vendor if there is any requirement of that material.
Hope this may help you.
