Schedule Line Category and Availability checks

Hi Folks,
A generic question.
Wanted to know, how would availability check results influenced if only Item category and MRP type are maintained and not the scheduled line categories.
Was trying to figure a strange Availability check behavior of non-confirmation for one item category and confirmation for another- item x location being same. The ATP checks settings are maintained and called from GATP. (not R/3 and R/3 customization is not imported too).

Requirment class & Procedure for each schedule line category

Hi all,
In requirment class we have a switch on/off indicator for avai check and TOR.In define procedure for schedule line category also we have the same.
If I dont want the system to carry out availabilty check, I can switch off the indicator in requirment class or at schedule line category.
My question is why we have these indicators in 2 places.
It is written we can fine tune these settings at Define procedure for schedule line category settings
Could anyone explain in details with Business scenarious
Thanks in advance
Mano

Hi,
1. Availability check at Requirements Class level -
The requirements class contains all control features for planning such as relevance for
planning, requirements planning strategy and requirements consumption strategy.
In addition, it is specified at a global level whether an availability check is to take place for
the material in the sales and distribution documents on the basis of the ATP quantity
(ATP = available to promise) and whether requirements are to be passed on.
2. Availability check at Schedule line category level -
A finer degree of control can be obtained for sales documents using the schedule line category.
Replenishment lead time is only included in the check performed on the basis of the
ATP quantity.
You can control with the schedule line category whether an availability check and
transfer of requirements should be carried out in the sales documents.
Note -
1. At the global requirements class level, the availability check can only be switched on in combination with the transfer of requirements. At schedule line level, the settings are proposed from the requirements class.
2. If the availability check is switched on at requirements class level, it can be switched off at schedule line level. However, you cannot switch on the availability check at schedule line level, if it is switched off at requirements class level. You can make this setting at schedule line level. But the system ignores it and the setting for the requirements class applies.
3. Also, at schedule line level when the availability check is switched on, the transfer of requirements can be switched off. For example, this makes sense for inquiries or sales information.
4. The settings specific to schedule lines for performing an availability check are only relevant for sales documents. In the shipping documents, the settings from the requirements class and the delivery item category are used. As with the schedule line category, the availability check can be switched off as required in the delivery item category.

Changing Schedule Line Category after checking Item availability

Hi Expert,
I would like to change the schedule line category according to the result of item availability check, i.e. change to another self defined schedule line category in case confirmed qty < order qty.
Could any one please suggest where I can implement this logic? Which user-exit is required to modify? Thanks a lot!

Does BOP respect the availability check setting made in Schedule line category?

Hi Gurus,
Does BOP respect the settings made for availability check in schedule line category?
Thanks,
Nihar

Hi Sourabh,
In the Schedule line Category, we have an option Availability check right?
Business requirement is to suppress Availability check at schedule line category level, where Availability check box is not selected.
When I trigger availability check manually, the confirmation happens on the day requested & no additional schedule lines are created.
For the same order, if I run the BOP with the above settings made in schedule line category; order is confirmed & is checking against stock & lead time.
My question is: Online ATP respect the availability check setting made in schedule line category. Does BOP respects the same as Online ATP?
I hope I was clear!
Thanks,
Nihar

Question on Schedule Line category in Sales Order not relevant to MRP

Hi experts,
I want to know whether the sales order having any schedule line category like CP, CN, etc will not be relevant for MRP. In other words, If I do the MRP run for the Sales Order Requiremnt having any Schedule Line Category in particular will not generate any procurement proposals like Planned order/ Purchase Requisitions. Please advice me on the same.
Regards
Brijesh

Dear Brijesh,
Please find some info related to scheduled lines below,
The various schedule line categories are controlled in different ways:
The schedule line AT in inquiries is used only for information.
No requirements are transferred and no availability check is carried out for the schedule lines BN and CN.
Requirements are transferred and the availability of the material is checked for the schedule lines BP and CP.
No stocks are managed for the schedule line categories BT, CT and CX. No goods issue is posted for the categories BT and CT. However, goods issue is posted for CX.
The schedule line categories BV and CV are controlled in the same manner as the categories BN and CN. However, requirements can be passed on for analysis purposes.
Goods receipt is posted for the schedule line DN in a returns document.
The schedule line categories CN, CP, CT, and CV are relevant for delivery; the other schedule line categories are not.
*Control Elements for Schedule Line Categories
Different schedule line categories are permitted according to the sales document type and item category you are using. You can use control elements to tailor the schedule line categories to meet the special demands of your installation. You can also define new schedule line categories.
Hope this helps.
Thanks

Schedule Line Category change-USER EXIT

REQUIREMENT:
When saving a SALES ORDER, Change the schedule line category on the SALES ORDER from CP(Standard Availability Check) to CS(Third Party Processing u2013Trigger Purchase Requisition)
Initially when we create the SALES ORDER, we have Schedule line category CP to generate schedule lines based on stock availability
SO Date- 09/14/2010
Schedule line 0001--- 09/14/2010 --- Confirmed Qty (0) --- Sched Line Categ(CP)
Schedule line 0002--- 09/16/2010 --- Confirmed Qty (1) --- Sched Line Categ(CP)
Config Change: We have changed the Schedule line category- CS to turn off Purchase Order Scheduling (Indicator turned off--P.req.del.scheduling)so that when we change the schedule line category, no PO scheduling happens again
Our requirement is that when saving the sales order, we want to change both the schedule lines item category-0001/0002 from CP to CS
SO Date- 09/14/2010
Schedule line 0001--- 09/14/2010 --- Confirmed Qty (0) --- Sched Line Categ(CS)
Schedule line 0002--- 09/16/2010 --- Confirmed Qty (1) --- Sched Line Categ(CS)
After saving the order, a Purchase Requisition is generated for the Schedule Line 0002..
MY QUESTION:
Is this possible using the BAPI_SALESORDER_CHANGE without changing the dates on the schedule lines or deleting any schedule line
Thanks

Why schedule line category must needed

Hello Experts,
I gone through several threads in the forum but still confused.
I got the info like...
It confirms the
1. confirmed date of delivery
2. confirmed quantity of del
3. Availability check
4. Transfer of requirement
a.purchase requisition type
b. delivery block
c. movment type of goods
The Schedule line contains the delivery date and quanitity in a slaes document item. This is only a one line explanation for your understanding purpose only.Tcode VOV6.
Now please kindly explain me with an example without slc what will not happen.
one Item can have many schedule lines . Why we need many SLC for one item please tell me with example.
Thanks in advance for all the replies

Hi,
If you take a sales order document, it is divided into three parts:
Header Level information :
This consist of the overall information of the sales document, for example Net value of the sales order and the like.
Item level information :
This consist of information at item level, like Item 1 has a material with a net price so and so, item 2 has another material with another net price and so and so.
Schedule line information :
This gives the information of the time a sales order has to be delivered to the customer, to view this select the item you want to view and to the menu under item >> Schedule line. This date is actually calculated from the delivery date in the Sales document.
Schedule line Agreement :
Use the T.code VA31 (and choose Scheduleline agreement) : This agreement lets you to predetermine scheduling of different materials with in a given period of time (This is same like the other contracts).
First enter the material with quantity say for example Material 1 Qty: 100, go to Edit from the menu >> Item >> Schedule line
There select within the time period defined two dates, say for example on 12: 01: 2005 40 quantity and on 13: 01: 2005 rest 60 (The qty has to be same as the one in the sales order) .
Once this is done you have created a schedule line agreement.
Call this agreement in your sales order (with reference) and use them.
Imp: You will be able to deliver only 40 qty on the 12th and 60 qty on the 13th, even though the sales order is for qty 100
Best Regards,
Amit.
Note: Schedule Line Category is also needed for Movement Type Determination and Availability Check.
SM30 - Table View - V_TVEPZ -> Assign schedule line categories
First check the Proposed schdule line category (SchLC) - double click on the line item
VOV6 - Maintain the schedule line categories - double click on the line item
For example, you can control the default returns movement type.
651 - two steps - with a transfer posting using 453
653 - one steps - direct post to unrestricted used
Control the Transaction Flow (tick to activate the function)

Schedule line category and item category

Hi all,
Can some body explain what is the use and differences between Schedule line category and item category?
Where exactly they come into picture when a sales cycle is done? it would be very helpful.
Thanks in advance.
Manu

Hi,
SCHEDULE LINE CATEGORY:-
Schedule line Category determines the Schedule lines for the Line item, it will determine whether the Item is relevant for Delivery or not
Transfer of Requirements are also controlled
Availability check at the Sales order is controlled with the Indicator set at SCHEDULE LINES
For Third Party processing, the Purchase requisition is created based on the Setting at schedule lines
Together with the ITEM CATEGORY , the schedule lines determine whether the Transaction is Relevant for MRP or not In the Transaction code VOV5
ITEM CATEGORY:-
Item category is a significant part in processing the sales document
Item category determines whether particular item is relevant for Delivery ot not,
Whether item is relevant for the Billing
In Determine the Availability and TOR Item category plays an important role, for example the Availability check at DELIVERY will be taken place based on the DELIVERY ITEM CATEGORY
Some Fnctionalities like OUTPUT, TEXT, PARTNER, INCOMPLETION are controlled
DIP which in the ITEM CATEGORIES is the Main Integration Between SD and PS
Thanks,

Change Schedule Line category through user exit - Issue with transfer of requirements

Dear All,
There is a user exit in Sales Order program MV45AZZ - PREPARE_TO_SAVE . It is currently being used to implement code to change schedule line category based on the status of the sales order.
When Blocked , category is set to ZP, and when Released then it is set to CP.
Now, when we change ZP to CP manually through VA02, I am able to see the requirements transferred in tcode MD50.
The problem is, when user changes status of sales order from blocked to released, the userexit changes categories from ZP to CP, but the requirements are not transferred ( cannot see it in MD50 ).
I tried searching the SCN, tried googling it, its been a week now and I havent found any clear solution.
So, far what I understood is Availability Check needs to be carried out again. But I am not clear how to trigger it again.
Are there any indicators that need to be set or any internal tables to be updated or any FM to call or any other user exit to place the code in.

?? Any suggestion friends ?

Schedule Line Category for MTS material

Hi All,
I am working on the MTS (make to stock) scenario. The MRP type being used is VM - Automatic reorder point planning" as the client wants the system to calculate the reorder point dependng upon the consumption.
I have used MP30 to calculate the reorder point. As far as the sales order is concerned, when I enter the MTS material & check the schedule line category determined is "CV - consumption MRP".
I check ed in VOV6 & CV is not relevant for Transfer of requirement & Availability check. I changed CV to CP & now the system is carrying out the availability check & transfer of requirement.
Have I done the right thing, will the system record the consumption of the particular material? In the material master I have used W in the period indicator & used forecast type as "G".
Is the shcedule line CP correct ot wormg.? Please also explain me what is the use of schedule line "CV".
With best regards,
Niyaz Sayyed.

Dear Niyaz Sayyed
The schedule line categories BV and CV are Consumption based MRP and controlled in the same manner as the categories BN and CN. However, requirements can be passed on for analysis purposes.

Default schedule line category

Hey Gurus,
Is there a way to default the schedule line category by material? How does this value get defaulted when a schedule line is created? Is this tied to the item category? If so, how do I assign a default schedule line category to the item category?
Sincerely,
Nina

Nina,
Your questiont is exactly the contrary.
1. Schedule line is defaulted based on MRP Type and not bymaterial
2. Item category   + MRP Type (Material master) = Schedule line Category
       TAN                       ND       =    CN
       TAN                       PD       =    CP
       KBN                      ND       =     E0
       KEN                      ND       =     C0
       KAN                      ND       =     F0
       KRN                      ND       =     D0
after this assignment when you run a normal process the Schedule line category appears by default in your order screen. (Go to Item Details screen, Choose schedule line tab, scroll horizontally you can find schedule line category appearing)
3. Yes, we should assign schedule line to item category For Ex. In case of consignment item category we have KBN - E1 or E0, KEN - c1 or c0, KAN - F1 or F0, KRN - we
4, First we can either use Existing Schedule line category or create your own schedule line category by pressing "New Entries". Tcode VOV6
5. Then we need to assign this schedule categories to item category and MRP type. Tcode VOV5
Note: we can assign three Manual schedule line categories to overwrite default prposed by the system.
NOTE: Schedule line category checks whether TOR (Transfer of requirement), Availability Check should be carried out, whether PR should be generated or not.
These configuration depends and changes according to your business requirements.

Schedule line category - CN

Hi,
I'm PP Consultant. I want to know the meaning of Schedule line category CN - No Mat. Planning for sales order line items
Thanks & Regards,
Sankaran

Dear Sankaran
The items in a sales document are divided into one or more schedule lines. These schedule lines differ from each other with respect to date and quantity.
Different control elements are also defined for the schedule lines. For example, for some schedule lines, material requirements planning is not carried out; for other schedule lines, it is carried out. Also goods receipt, not goods issue, is posted for a schedule line defined in a returns document.
The various schedule line categories are controlled in different ways:
- The schedule line AT in inquiries is used only for information.
- No requirements are transferred and no availability check is carried out for the schedule lines BN and CN.
- Requirements are transferred and the availability of the material is checked for the schedule lines BP and CP.
- No stocks are managed for the schedule line categories BT, CT and CX. No goods issue is posted for the categories BT and CT. However, goods issue is posted for CX.
- The schedule line categories BV and CV are controlled in the same manner as the categories BN and CN. However, requirements can be passed on for analysis purposes.
- Goods receipt is posted for the schedule line DN in a returns document.
- The schedule line categories CN, CP, CT, and CV are relevant for delivery; the other schedule line categories are not.

Sales order we have made schedule line category catCN but still reqt coming

Dear Sir,
Sub : For sales order 5000060 line 10 we have made schedule line category as CN but still system is giving requirement against this order (while running MRP T code MD50)
Details:
One user has made one FG material delivery with PGI without putting the picking quantity. He had put zero picking qty. When we click PGI button System does not allow to do PGI without putting the picking qty but how he could do it we do not know. Now there is no goods issue material document instead one confirmation of service document is there in doc flow .we can not open this document. if we click display by selecting this document in document flow system gives error - NO document created for confirm service/cancel transaction
All the delivery fields are gray out. Delivery qty is there in this delivery hence at sale order schedule line tab against the schedule line system is showing delivered qty -2.
Goods movements status is B- partially completed.
Also system is not allowing to reverse the delivery- it is saying-no data available for this selection criteria. Hence we are not able to do delivery against this item. Hence we have created sale order line item 20 & transferred this stock to line item 20 & did subsequent transactions.
Now system giving requirement for line item 10 .We have made schedule line category CN still system is giving requirement against delivery number in T code -MD 50 against sale order line item- there is customer order ,delivery, production order .delivery number never comes in MD50 .it is giving requirement against delivery.
Kindly let us know how to stop the requirement to generate from this sale order line item
Also kindly let us know how user could make this & how this might have happened & how to restrict this in future.
Regards

Dear Sir,
When we create a sale order default sch line category is CN after few days (there is a specific reason) we change it to CP & run MRP
In this case we made the product by doing this but while doing delivery .user did some mistake & did PGI without picking qty in delivery.Now this qty is in delivery but there is no material document that stock has not yet moved .Since there was a problem in the delivery we have trasfered this stock to sale order line item 20.& did further transactions.
Afte this we did schedule line cat from CP to CN
But in MD50 system is giving the requirment against sale order ,delivery
Regards
