Sales scheduling agreement

Hi,
I had few queries regarding Sales scheduling agreement.
I have gone though few forum discussions and also SAP help documentation however was not able to have clear understanding and have below queries.
1. I understand that purpose of sales scheduling agreement is to  provide information on customer requirement with exact quantity and dates.
    What is the difference between Sales scheduling agreement and PIR, Contract or scheduling agreement?
2. If I CIF a sales scheduling agreement will it create a Transportation lane between customer and the plant?
3. When a sales scheduling agreement is CIFed to APO will it create requirement in the form of sales order as per schedule lines?
4. Can I use Sales scheduling agreement in CTM planning, what are the limitations?
Experts please help me on the above queries.
Thanks,
Sanjog Mishrikotkar

You can use standard functionality Billing Plan in SD.
If it is Fixed Billing scheduling then go for Periodic Billing Plan.
Else for Flexible Billing scheduling or milestone, then go for Milestone Billing plan.

  • Problem updating Volume in Sales Scheduling Agreement

    Hi gurus,
    we have problem with Sales Scheduling Agreement. It's about volume of material. First, I create a Scheduling Agreement for material A, what is 100 CCM of volume in its register master material. I create several forecast delivery schedule. After, I modify by other reasons the volume of material A in master material to 200 CCM. What is the problem? The problem is when system creates the deliveries for Scheduling Agreement, the packaging is did in base 100 CCM of volume and not is for 200 CCM.
    Besides of this, after if modify volume in master material I will add new forecast delivery schedules, the volume is calculated based in old volume factor: 100 CCM.
    We don't understand this behaviour in system.
    Thank you!!!!

    Hi,
    The reason is, the link of updating automatically from material master data to sales SA is broken!
    You should double check the volume at item level in Sales SA, enter the sales SA, select menu>Goto>Item-->Shipping, see the value of field "Volume", whether it's 200 CCM, or not? I think it should still be 100 CCM, change it to 200 CCM, that will be okay!
    Good luck

  • Delivery from sales scheduling agreement with one item per schedule line

    Hi all,
    I have a sales scheduling agreement where the same part number has 3 different JIT schedule lines and I need to create a delivery with 3 item lines: every item line of the delivery has to be referred to one schedule line of the scheduling agreement.
    When I create the delivery with transaction VL10E it has only one item line and its quantity is the sum of the 3 schedule lines of the sales scheduling agreement.
    I've tried to change the customizing of the User Role, choosing the Split Schedule Line = 2 ("One item per schedule line") but the delivery is created again with only one item line.
    How can I solve this issue?
    Thanks in advance for reply

    Dear Alex
    The SAP standard behaviour is that all schedule items with delivery date in the past have to be rescheduled anyway to one date and are combined therefore.
    Partially this behaviour can be influenced in VL10* by 2 parameters in
    the user role : Split per sched.line and Rule (delivery qty).
    Please find below informations about these different parameters
    "Split per sched.line propose you 3 Rule for creating one delivery item
    per schedule line. In a delivery list in item view with multiple
    schedule lines, you can decide for the same document item whether you
    want to generate one delivery item per schedule line or whether you want
    to deliver the cumulated quantity of the last schedule lines selected.
    About rule for delivery quantity, the following rules are currently
    implemented:
    1. No cumulation
    The open schedule line quantity to be delivered is the quantity at which
    the list line is delivered.
    2. Sum of all open schedule line quantities to be delivered that fall
    before the chronologically latest date in the to field (following the
    Deliv. creation date field) of the selection criteria.
    3. Sum of all open schedule line quantities to be delivered whose
    delivery creation date falls within the selection time frame (between
    the dates in the Deliv. creation date and to fields, respectively),
    making the calculation of the quantity to be delivered consistent with
    selection criteria. However, calculationof the quantities delivered with
    the order's schedule line quantities is not affected."
    Hope this helps.

  • BAPI or FM for Sales Scheduling Agreement

    Hi ABAPers,
    I need to transfer the Sales Scheduling Agreement (T-code: VA31) data into SAP. I am sure that it is not possible by LSMW and BDC methods as I have to upload Header and Item texts for the scheduling agreement.
    So, I am trying to find any BAPI or FM to create the same.
    Any helps regarding this would be appreciated.
    Thanks in advance,
    Asif Ali Khan

    You can use BAPI-BAPI_SCHEDULE_MAINTAIN
    Short Text
         Maintenance of Scheduling Agreement Delivery Schedule Lines
    Functionality
         The BAPI_SCHEDULE_MAINTAIN is used to create or change scheduling agreement delivery schedule lines.
    Further information
         The parameter PURCHASEDOCUMENT and the scheduling (delivery schedule line) data in POSCHEDULE and POSCHEDULEX are to be passed on to the interface. These three parameters are defined as mandatory.
    Hope this helps.

  • BAPI for creating sales scheduling agreement

    Hi All,
    I have a scenario where i need to create a sales scheduling agreement using VA31. I have tried using a function module "SD_SALESDOCUMENT_CREATE". I am able to create the document by inserting the correct data in "SALES_HEADER_IN", "SALES_ITEMS_IN", "SALES_PARTNERS" and using the update flag as " I ".
    When I try to insert data in "SALES_SCHEDULES_IN" the function module returns error message "No schedule line category could be determined during quantity adjustment".
    please provide help in finding out the right procedure for creating the scheduling agreement with schedule lines data.
    Regards.

  • Sales scheduling agreements and subsequent sales orders in MD04

    We would like to use sales scheduling agreements. For planification purposes, we need that forecast delivery schedule quantities in the agreement, appear in MD04 transaction, so corresponding schedule line type has flag "Transfer of requirements" active. In customizing for the agreement type, subsequent documents are sales orders, not deliveries, as we need always to have a sales order. We need that when creating subsequent sales order by reference to the scheduling agreement, quantity required related to the agreement is reduced. Or, at least, when this subsequent sales order is delivered.
    Example: In the agreement we can have 1000 KG and 2000 KG as forecast, for different dates. If a sales order of  800 KG is created, then we will get a new line of 800 KG in MD04. Required quantity related to the agreement, should be changed from 1000 to 200.
    Another option would be that subsequent sales order and delivery don't appear in MD04 (so requested quantity is not increased) and then, when the goods issue is posted, the available quantity is reduced and also the quantity required related to the agreement. I know how to make that sales order item is not relevant for MD04 using  flag "Transfer of requirements" for the sales order schedule item type, but I don't know how to make that delivery doesn't appear.

    Hi
    In the given logic include another comment 
    If zfield value = 01, then allow creation of subsequent document.
    If zfield value # 01, then subsequent document creation should not be allowed.
    If AUART = Z sales document types then allow creation of subsequent document
    If VKORG  (Sales organisation) =1000 then allow creation of subsequent document
    If VTWEG  (Distribution channel) = 01then allow creation of subsequent document
    If SPART (Division) = 01then allow creation of subsequent document
    It wont affect if you change the copy control requirement routine,but instead of changing the copy control requirement routine
    use the user exit at sales order level only.

  • I- doc for creation/updation of Sales Scheduling Agreement

    Hi,
    Could anybody tell me details regarding the idoc details, for Sales Scheduling Agreement Creation & its updation.
    Need the - Process code, Message type , Basic type & other details
    Will the Idoc type be of DELORD. We will be getting the flatI file from the client for the creation of Scheduling Agreements
    Appreciate the help
    Thanks

    For Automotive Suppliers, and SD scheduling agreement types 'LZ', etc. 
    Normally, the users create the SD Scheduling Agreement using VA31 first.
    Then the Idocs, which are processed through IDOC_INPUT_DELINS_START, simply update the SA.
    One SA may continue to be updated by EDI releases for many months.   
    On an 'LZ' type SA, there is a tab for Forecast Delivery schedules and a tab for JIT Delivery schedules.
    At the simple level, which tab gets updated is controlled by the value in E1EDP10-SCREL.
    For inbound 830 / DELFOR / VDA4905 transmissions, usually map SCREL = '03' which updates the Forecast Delivery Schedule.
    For inbound 862 / DELJIT / VDA4915 transmissions, usually map SCREL = '02', which updates the JIT Delivery Schedule.
    The search criteria in the search box you see on VA32 are similar to the key Idoc fields which are used to find the SA which needs to be updated.
    Hopefully the users have access to transaction EMFOR to monitor the inbound Idocs and reprocess if necessary. (This is easier than workflow or WE02/BD87)
    From EMFOR, Idocs in status 51 can often be processed in foreground. This is the quick way to figure out why you are getting a status 51. But I suspect it's because the SA was not created first.

  • Sales Scheduling Agreements

    Hi,
            In transportation lanes, we can got to sales scheduling agreements using menu path Goto>sales scheduling agreements
    I understand that the Scheduling agreements on R/3 become external procurement relationships and transportation lanes in APO.
    I am wondering what this extra sales scheduling agreements are??
    Thanks.

    Got the answer:
    [sap help|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_scm50/helpdata/en/3e/dfaf376ed96c21e10000009b38f8cf/frameset.htm]
    n the SAP R/3 system, the business relationship between a plant (supplier) and a customer is stored as a sales scheduling agreement. If you have transferred these sales scheduling agreement from Sales and Distribution (SD) to SAP APO, the system automatically generates sales scheduling agreements there. At the same time, the system creates a transportation lane from the plant to the customer. The sales scheduling agreement and transportation lane are assigned to each other.

  • Kit sales - scheduling agreement

    Hi experts,
    When creating scheduling agreement for kit sales, the screen "schedule line" is grey. How to make it activate?
    ps. For kit sales, item category for header component is TAP while sub-component is LPN. If using the scheduling agreement for NON-kit sales, it works fine.

    Hi JP,
    After double check, I still fail to solve it. Plz help further.
    Example:
    Kit sales material A includes component A1, A2. When creating scheduling agreement for A (A1 & A2 explode there), the screen "schedule line" is grey. If using A1 or A2 to create scheduling agreement, it works fine.
    ps. For kit sales, header item category is TAP while sub item category is LPN.

  • Third party sales using Sales Scheduling agreement.

    Hi All,
    We have a scenario where we are creating a scheduling agreement type LP for a main material and its returnable packaging.
    We are using item category group as BANS and LEIH respectively. We are able to create the agreement, trigger a Purchase requisition from the main material and also a outbound delivery.
    We are facing issue when we are trying to create billing document.
    Has anybody worked on such scenario and suggest us as to why this issue?
    Also we want to create a commercial invoice before final billing document. Plz suggest the process of commercial invoicing in SAP and the output type to be used for the same.
    Rgs,
    AJ.

    Dear Atual,
    You have stated " you are facing issue in billing" however, you have not mentioned what is the issue!!!
    Secondly, I did not understand
    " Also we want to create a commercial invoice before final billing document. Plz suggest the process of commercial invoicing in SAP and the output type to be used for the same.
    What do you mean by commercial invoice and Final Billing document? for me it looks the same. SAP standard provided output normally does not serve the customer requirment. Hence it will be always custom developed. Standard output type is RD00, you can copy and define your own output type. Attach the custom developed program and layout as applicable.

  • Explode LUMF material in scheduling agreement

    Hi SAP experts,
    In short: Is it possible to have LUMF materials explode in a scheduling agreement?
    At our company we have a lot of projects. We are in the process of selecting an appropriate way to handle these in SAP. We came to the conclusion that a scheduling agreement could do what we want.
    Unfortunately we discovered a problem in our current configuration with respect to scheduling agreements and LUMF materials.
    When we add a LUMF material to a standard SD document, the LUMF material explodes in all the necessary materials.
    When we do the same in a scheduling agreement we get the error that the T 184 table does not contain a position type for ZLZM LUMF.
    Would it be possible to configure this? Could you give us a clue on how to make this possible?
    With kind regards,
    Nanne Sluis

    Thanks for your answers. I am not sure if we are talking about the same here. I get the feeling you are talking about scheduling agreements for vendors.
    I need sales scheduling agreement as described in http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp2005/helpdata/en/33/4361299d7a11d194e200a0c9306794/frameset.htm
    We are currently using quanity contracts but they lack a delivery date and MRP relevance. In the SAP help it is in this case described that you need a scheduling agreement.

  • Scheduling agreements in mrp ?

    Hi Gurus,
    please explain the over all scope of  scheduling agreements in MRP. my requirement is like if i run MRP for A FERT Material at MD03 it has to consider the sto  scheduling agreement  which is all ready created with sales depot.
    1. wiil the system considers the sto sch agreements if we run the mrp ?(Material will supplied to sales depot through sto sch agreements ).
    2. what is the scope of using special procurement key 40 and 45 (can we use these keys if we procure materials  from more than one plant trough sto sch process ?
    3. what are the mrp settings we need to do for scheduling agreements?
    please clarify my doubts .
    Best Regards,
    Mahesh.

    Hello
    What you observe on your system is according to the standard system design. Please refer to the following information, provided on question 6 of the FAQ note 550568, which explains the system behaviour:
    6.  Question:
        There are several requirements on one day. Is it possible that the
        MRP creates a separate procurement proposal for every requirement?
        Answer:
        Same as for the daily lot size with a number of periods = 1 (lot
        size TB), requirements of one day are also grouped into one
        procurement proposal for the lot-for-lot order quantity (lot size
        EX) (see documentation for the lot-for-lot order quantity). Separate
        procurement proposals can be achieved only if you work with
        make-to-order production. Here, the requirements are managed in
        separate planning segments of the stock/requirements list.
    I suggest you to work with make-to-order sales scheduling agreement. In this case, system will create separated sales order stock for each document. You can test make-to-order setting planning strategy 20 for your material on tab MRP3 of the material master.

  • GATP: Product allocation with SD Scheduling Agreements ?

    Hello experts,
    we want to use Product allocation in APO-GATP (SCM5.0 SP13) to do shipping capacity leveling. The location is fulfilling following DocTypes :
    SD Sales Orders
    SD Scheduling Agreements
    MM Stocktransfers
    Does somebody know if SD Scheduling Agreements can be used with GATP product allocation ? I'm asking since this document type is NOT supported for Rules-Based-ATP (substitution etc.) for example.
    Thanks
    Thomas Schulze

    Hi Thomas,
    Just have a look into the SAP Help:
    Check Against Product Allocations
    You can use the check against product allocations in SAP APO for the following documents:
    ·         Sales orders
    ·         Sales scheduling agreements
    ·         Free-of-charge deliveries
    ·         Stock transport orders
    -> Yes, Scheduling Agreements can be checked against Prodcut allocations !
    best regards,
    Michael
