  • Availability check on schedule lines of contract

    Hi,
    We have maintained 2 line items (L1 and L2) with same material (M1) in contract. Also these two line items have schedule lines maintained.
    e.g.
    L1  :  S1,S2
    L2 :   S3,S4
    Now we create a sales order in reference to line item L1 and do an availability check.  The ATP does not show schedule lines for S1,S2 in availability overview. only S3,S4 quantities is taken into consideration for ATP calculation.
    We have activated availability check at schedule line level.
    Any pointers as to why S1,S2 requirements are not shown in availability overview
    P.S.  If we create a sales order in reference to line item L2 ,then the ATP does not show schedule lines for S3,S4 in availability overview. only S1,S2 quantities is taken into consideration for ATP calculation.
    Any pointers will be highly welcome.
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    Sorry, for Sch. AV check is not activated but TR is activated.
    For material ATP is activated- check in MM03

  • Update Contract Schedule lines using BAPI_CUSTOMERCONTRACT_CHANGE

    Dear All,
    I want to change the schedule line of a Sales Contract using the BAPI, BAPI_CUSTOMERCONTRACT_CHANGE however i do not find any table parameter to do the same as is available in the Quotation & Sales Order change BAPIs.. I checked OSS but did not find any note in this regard.. Kindly let me know if there is any way this can be done apart from using the EXTENSIONIN parameter for this BAPI.
    Thanks for your help.
    Cheers

    Dear Dipak,
    Is it possible to update the schedule lines without using the EXTENSIONIN parameter for this BAPI ?? If so kindly let me know.

  • How to change the schedule line date in SO with reference to value contract

    Hi SD Guru's,
    I need to change the schedule line date in the sales order with reference to the value contract by using some algorithm that i will write. The problem that i can't find the suitable place to add the algorithm. I can't add it to the Copy control because there is no schedule lines in value contract and copy control for schedule lines does no exist.
    I can not add to user exit MV45AFZZ  , because order that was created with reference to the value contract, does not go through this user exit.
    Do you have some ideas where i can add it?
    Thanks and Regards

    Hello Viky
    How about using program MV45AFZB- USEREXIT_CHECK_VBEP or USEREXIT_MOVE_FIELD_TO_VBEPKOM
    or program FV45EFZ1- USEREXIT_CHANGE_SALES_ORDER
    Does the program go through these exits when an order is created with ref to a value contract??
    Also I am wondering why you need to change a Schedule line determined by Availability check and/or delivery scheduling?

  • Converting contract to sales order does not auto create schedule lines

    Hi
    When I convert quotation to sales order, then schedule lines get auto created.
    But when I convert contract to sales order, then schedule lines don't be auto created. Instead, a confirmation screen for proposal delivery date pops up for every line item in the sales order.
    Is there any suggestion how can I solve my problem ?
    Thanks..

    Hi,
    In standard SD module, system checks availability for each line item, gives you popup screen of confirmation.
    If you don't want availability or popuscreen of confirmation,then
    Go to VOV6 >>> Select schedule line which you are using in sales order for line item >>> Remove tick mark of availability check.
    Else
    Remove availability check rule from material master >>> Under tab Sales : ganral/plant

  • Is schedule line possible in sales contract

    HI Gurus
    Is there any option in Sale contract to capture the shipment dates other than resorting to scheduling agreement .  Our client's requirement is to enter shipment details like quantity , date of shipment etc. for multiple shipments in a single contract.  Please advice.
    Sidhu

    You have to activate the 'Schedule lines allowed' for the contract item category and also make the necessary assignments in VOV5 for schedule lines determination.
    Here are the details from F1 help:
    Schedule lines allowed
    Indicates whether you can create schedule lines for the item.
    Use
    Items that are relevant for delivery, such as sales order items, can always have schedule lines. On the other hand, items that are not relevant for delivery, such as items in contracts and credit memo requests, do not have schedule lines.
    BUT...can you let us know the business requirement to have schedule lines for a contract?
    Thanks,

  • SCHEDULING AGREEMENT AND SCHEDULING LINE CREATION

    Hello Guys,
    I trying creating a scheduling agreement(SA) for vendor & material combination.
    I have created a Scheduling agreement in ME31L then maintained in ME38.
    In ME38 i have also mentioned the delivery date. when i am checking EKKO for Purchasing document , its created with the delivery date specified.
    My question is how to create a schedule line ? Do we need to maintain a source list of that material, plant and vendor.
    If we have the source list maintained, then what is the next step after SA is created and maintained.
    Do we need to do MIGO? because i tested by creating one SA in ME31L and maintained in ME38. I mentioned the delivery date as today and when i checked EKKO table the Purchasing document is created.
    Do i need to create a Purchase Order?
    If no then do i need to do MIGO? If i need to do MIGO, for what reference do i need to do MIGO???
    My client never maintained a Scheduling agreement, they want the scheduled lines to be created and sent to vendor and we need to receive  the goods on specified delivery date.
    Help will be appreciated.
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    You need to make a distinction between the scheduling agreement (ME31L/ME32L) and the delivery schedule creation (ME38/ME84)
    With ME31L you create the scheduling agreement. In the scheduling agreement which is created for a vendor you maintain the parts that you will order at this vendor, the target quantity that you will order over a certain period and the price.
    In ME38 you use the scheduling agreement number that is created with ME31L to create schedule lines (manually). These schedule lines consist of a date and an quantity. This is the data that needs to be transmitted to the vendor and against which the vendor is shipping the ordered materials.
    Once the vendor ships the materials you post the goods receipt in Migo against the scheduling agreement number.
    That is the basic working of the scheduling agreement and the delivery schedule.
    Now some remarks.
    You need to set-up the required output conditions for transmitting the data to the vendor either via print, fax, email or EDI.
    You can do this manually in each scheduling agreement and each release but typically you maintain the output condition records.
    For scheduling agreement contract (ME31L) you use transaction MN07.
    For the delivery schedule (ME38/ME84) you use transaction MN10.
    In order for you to be able to post the goods receipt the delivery schedule needs to have been transmitted otherwise you will get a message that not requirement are found when trying to post goods receipt.
    Also the goods receipt can only be posted if the requirements are valid on the day that you are performing MIGO. This means if you would post GR today then the open requirements in the scheduling agreement need to be for today or already from previous dates. The system will not allow you to post GR for quantities that are only due tomorrow (if this is required a user exit needs to be set-up).
    If you want schedule lines created via MRP then you need to set-up a source list using ME01. You have to make sure that the MRP key is set to 2 in orer for the system to generate schedule lines and you also have to make sure that you have the correct MRP parameters set-up.
    You can use ME84 to transmit the delivery schedule lines generated by MRP if no changes are required. With the ME84 you can transmit multiple releases at once, however this transaction can not be used to make manual changes to the MRP proposal.
    The scheduling agreement offers lot's more possibilities but the above should get you going with the basics.
    Hope this will help you on your way.

  • Schedule Line generation via MRP

    Dear Members..We create Scheduling Agreements by referencing quantity contracts.Now Schedule line in scheduling agreements are generated via MRP ..business wants that the sum of scheduled quantities in scheduling agreements should not exceed Contract Quantity.How can we control this. This check is already there in case of manual scheduling in SA ..but how can we control it via MRP ? Thanks in Advance ..
                                    Vinod

    Hi,
    Let me understand the process
    First create contract ME31K eg X qty
    Output of this contract creates a SA of X qty
    Via MRP it creates a Schedule line and this should increase the X qty.
    I think as std SAP system will not allow to more than X qty
    Thanks

  • Generate Schedule Lines in PR - ME51N

    Hi,
    Is it possible to generate schedule lines with PR thru ME51N.
    Our requirement is that if we insert Delivery Date in PR line item, system ask for Schedule Line in which we insert the same as per requirement...
    Please suggest..how can we do it???

    Hi,
    As already solution provided, 2 points I would like to mention,
    Delivery date in ME51N not only meant to enter manually. Its automatically calculated and overwritten your entered date - it populates calculating valid delivery times available in info records, purchase organization data from planned delivery time, GR processing time etc.
    The best solution is go ahead with Scheduling agreement. For every requirement if you are not able to go ahead with Contract/Scheduling agreement - go ahead with separate line item with assign source of supply from which planned delivery times calculated automatically or you can enter separately.

  • Delivery schedule refer to contract - total quantity handling

    Hi Experts,
    could any of You pls help me with an issue regarding a delivery schedule line qty created by MRP run?
    I have a contract with a fixed qty, and based on this contract I have created a delivery schedule, I also maintained, that MRP run should create the delivery lines based on requirement - within a schedule line valid period. Qty in contract > = schedule line header qty.
    When MRP runs, I got the schedule lines, but it only refers to the delivery sched. validity period, and do not check the header / contract total amount. This means - I got more qty in scheduled lines, as it was on header in sched. aggreement and in contract, if the requirement is higher in validity period than it was at the documents' header.
    How can the qty check be set in costomizing / what do I miss during my documet creation?
    Answers will be appreciated

  • Converting Multipule Reqs to a Purchase Order with Delivery Schedule Lines

    Is it possible to convert a multiple Purchase Reqs for the same items to a PO that has one line but multipule deliver dates in the Schedule lines - Where the Purchase Reqs have been generated by MRP
    Example
    I have an SAP Contract 46***** that runs via MRP and creates 3 Reqs for item number 12345. All from the same vendor
                 Req 1 delivery date 2/4/10  QTY 50
                 Req 2 delivery date 6/4/10  QTY 20
                 Req 3 delivery date 10/4/10 QTY 30
    Aim is to have 1 PO with line 1 having a QTY 100 but the Delivery Schedule Tab to show the three seperate delivery needs
                date 2/4/10  QTY 50
                date 6/4/10  QTY 20
                date 10/4/10 QTY 30
    Any Help?

    When i try that the QTY in line one does not alwasy update to the total qty of the reqs and infact the qty on the req doesnt always appear in the schedule line....
    This works for me perfect, I never encountred that the item quantity was not updated if I added a new requisition to the schedule.
    ME59N should work, do not select per requistion and per delviery date in the New PO section in the selection screen. But set a flag into box create schedules.

  • Delivery schedule lines scale

    Hi experts
    I am triing to insert scales in LPA delevery schedule , but when schedule lines are generated the quantities of scakle are not taken into acocount.
    QT      Price
    10        15
    20        10
    30         5
    As the fixed quantity of the contract is more than 30 the system uses price 5 for schedule lines even if the schedule lines quantity are les than 30.
    Is it the normal operation?
    Thanks

  • 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
