Schedule Line Question

Greetings,
I have a question regarding Schedule Lines in a Sales Order.
I'm currently looking at a Sales Order with 1 line item. When I drill into that line item and go to the Schedule Line tab, I see 24 Schedule Lines. In the first 16 Schedule Lines, the "Delivered Qty" is equal to the "Order Qty", however when I run VA05 for Open Orders only, all 24 Schedule Lines appear. I am a Production guy and not fully familiar with the Sales module, and would like to know why VA05 for Open Orders is showing delivered Schedule Lines. What tag is required for SAP to recognize a Schedule Line as complete?
Thanks

Yes,
There is 1 Line Item with 24 Schedule Lines.
The Delivered Qty is equal to the Order Qty on 16 of the Schedule Lines, and 8 of the Schedule Lines have not yet been delivered.
According to VA05 however, all 24 Schedule Lines appear as Partially Delivered.
Do all Schedule Lines associated with a Line Item have to be complete before all Schedule Lines and the Line Item itself are considered fully Delivered?
Thanks

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

Question on Schedule Lines

Hi,
Good day.
I would like to know how can the schedule lines column in the sales order be populated? I believe, it would not have a date in it when there are no confirmed stocks, right? Would it be possible to populate this even if you do not have stock at the moment but you are expecting stock soon? Please tell me how can I trigger this and how to populate this field.
Thank you and have a good day.
Regards,
Lem

Hi Lem,
Its all depends upon the availability check maintained in your system. If you are availabilty check the system automatically proposes a later schedule line as per the availabilty. If there is no availabilty of the material order there will not be any confirmed qty here.. the order saved as Back order. And back order's will be processed with the specified intervel and availabilty check is done again and the material will confirmed when the material is avalable.
If you are maintaining the Replinishment lead time the system automatically proposes the schedule line with confirmed qty after the rep. lead time....
there is no need to maintain. the system automatically proposes. All you need to do is you need to maintain a MRP type in Material master.
If MRP type is ND - No availability check. It confirms the qty based on the Replinishment lead time only.. in this scenario next shedule line is after the rep lead time and that should be confirmed.
If MRP type is PD - Availability check will happen. the system checks the storage location check, all incoming materials (ex: Confirmed PO's from Vendor) and All out going Stocks( Ex: Confirmed Sales order to the Customer).

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 ?

Nirav Kinkhabwala

Nirav,
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 lines tranfer from R/3 to SUS in a MM-SUS scenario

Hi SRM gurus,
We are working on the MM-SUS scenario where the scheduling agreement is created in the backend R/3 system. Delivery schedule lines are generated in the backend and transfered to the SUS thru. ME9E transaction for sending the delivery schedule to the SUS.
We have a confirmation control key which guides us in SUS to create an ASN in the backend.
Though there is a confirmation control key exist in the SA for that particular line item, when the ASN is sent from SUS to XI to R/3. There is an idoc error in the R/3 which says that there is no confirmation control key though it is there for the line item which is transfered to SUS.
Now Pls. answer my questions :
1) Will ME9E transfer the total lines in the SA or the schedule lines with the delivery schedules only ?
2) Is it possible to resend the same schedule line ( with the updated delivery schedule) to the SUS as per the standard scenario?
3) In the SUS how do we findout the materials corresponding to that particular delivery schedule line. Because in SUS the reference is only the scheduling agreement number as we could not see any scheduline line item.
Pls. suggest.
We are working on SRM(SUS) 5.0 with ECC6.0 as the backend.
Best regards,
Sridhar.

i have seen the code --> where the FM is called for creation of SAR in SRM.
that is FM

      IF ls_header-description EQ 'DELINS'.
        CALL FUNCTION 'BBP_API_SUSPO_CRT'

this one creates ---> the SAR in SRM.
and also i have seen further --> there is no place where any BADI is also called.
i am afraid it is not possible to control what you want using BADI.
only --> difference between --> New document and the old document is

And Also if you can see the XML message for the updated document --> you can see all the lines in the XML message.

Issue of Schedule Lines in MRP List

Hi,
We ran MRP for one material, we observed MRP generated 3 schedules lines with respect to single Schedule Agreement with exception message as 30(Plan Process according to schedule).
Schedule line 1 --- Delivery Date is 10/06/2011 in MD05, Delivery date in Schedule Agreement is 10/04/2011,Rescheduling date is 08/27/2011 Exception message is 30(Plan Process according to schedule(08/27/2011 08/25/2011).
Schedule line 2 --- Delivery Date is 10/06/2011 in MD05, Delivery date in Schedule Agreement is 10/04/2011,Rescheduling date is 10/05/2011 Exception message is 30(Plan Process according to schedule(10/05/2011 10/03/2011).
Schedule line 3 --- Delivery Date is 10/06/2011 in MD05, Delivery date in Schedule Agreement is 10/04/2011,Rescheduling date is 09/08/2011 Exception message is 30(Plan Process according to schedule(09/08/2011 09/06/2011).
But in Schedule Agreement, we are seeing that all the 3 delivery schedules with delivery dates as "10/04/2011" as GR Processing time is 2 days.
Can anyone tell why the MRP has not updated the Schedule Agreement with the new Delivery dates proposed by the exception message 30 in MD05 list.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Vivek,
I am not knowing how to upload the details.
Please find the Material master details for the issue material:-
MRP type- PD, Lot Size - ZE - Period lot size, Sched.2, Split ( Config Setting of this lot size key is provided below),
Minimum lot size-2,000.000, rounding profile-2,000.000, Material type- ROH,Safety Stock - 1224, Pld Delivery time -63 days, GR Processing time- 2 days, Planning Calendar-ZEX.,Consumption mode     2,Bwd consumption per. 999,Fwd consumption per. 999 ,Mixed MRP --      1, Strategy group =      Z1 ( Final assembly & assembly level, i.e., combination of 40 + 70))
Config Setting of Lot size key- ZE are :-
LotSizeProced. P Period lot-sizing procedure ,Lot-size ind.-   K Period lot size as in PPC planning calendar
Scheduling --    2 Period end := delivery date ,No. of periods 1, Splitting Quota - Checked ,Last Lot Exact- Checked.
b) Scheduling Agreement has 3 delivery schedule lines with Delivery Date as "10/04/2011" and scheduled quantities as 2000,1617 and 2000 EA.
As per the MD05 screen,for this material, corresponding to these 3 schedules lines, we have exception message -30 with different delivery dates. Our Question is why MRP does not updated the Delivery dates for the schedule lines in the scheduled agreement proposed by these exception message.
Can you please let me know whether this information is sufficient for you to understand my problem?.
Thanks in advance.

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 you

Hi,
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,
Maheshwari

MD04 firm schedule line - ME38 schedule line manualy changed

Hello Gurus,
many users change manually quantity in schedule lines but then the schedule is locked and becomes firm in MD04 ( * ) so that MRP does not take this quantity into account.
How to change this behaviour as I want the MRP to take this modification into account ?
Thanks a lot.

Hi,
When your users change a schedule line they are automatically firmed as the system can only assume that they know more about the supply position than it does.
MRP does take the quantity into account, however, it is not allowed to change the date nor the quantity, so any increase or decrease in demand is reflected in the first unfirmed schedule line.
This behaviour is not configurable.
If the firmed schedule line is not correct because the user has made a change in error then you need to set the quantity to zero so that the schedule line is deleted. MRP will then create a new schedule line in line with the planning parameters and current stocks / demand.
Hope that has answered your question

Schedule Lines

Hi All,
I have my main servers in the USA and my German Client is creating the orders, howcome the system is proposing tommorrow's date in the Schedule Lines.
BTW how are Schedule lines determined? I know that it is thru MRP Type + Item category.
Regards,
Vinod

Hi,
My question from where the sales is happening to customer i mean the plant supplying the goods to customer.
What ever may be the case.
It works as below
Sale order with schedule line is 18.02.2008, this means the order quantity can be delivered to cusotmer on this date.
This date is determined based on Material availability date.
System provides the confirmed date by calculating backword scheduling from the date customer wants the good at place i.e devlivery date. ( it calculates all the dates like material availability date, transportation planning date, loading, picking, packing and transit time to reach customer). then give confirmed delivery or schedule line.
For example schedule is on i.e 18/02/2008.
You create delivery after this due date. This means all the activities are carried out for this delivery for this reason you can create delivery with PGI.
( The system is operated by user (business) to just replicate the actual process happening in the business)
Kindly reward points if useful.

MRP Area and SA Schedule Lines

Hello All,
We are looking at using MRP Areas and noticed it can not be turned off once on (ECC 5.0). Given that, is the following true with reference to schedule agreements:
- Will seperate schedule lines be created for each MRP Area (same material)?
- Does the receiving storage location come from the material master or the MRP Area (Does it matter if it is a type 01 or type 02 MRP Area)?
- Is it possible to define differen't receiving slocs in a schedule line for a Plant MRP Area?
Thank you,
Jerry

Thank you Charlie,
The link is helpful however it doesn't come straight out and answer the questions - meaning there is a bit of ambiguity there.
It would be appreciated if you or anybody that is using MRP areas with schedule agreements is doing the above.

Schedule Lines not generated for MRP Type PD

HI All,
I have created Schduling Agreement, maintained Source List with MRP Relevant - 2 option and maintained Vendor as Fix, maintained info record.
I have created a material with MRP type as PD and lot size as EX, and strategy group as MTS. Now when i enter requirement through MD61 and do MRP Run through MD02, system is generating PR instead of Del Schdule line inspite of schduling agreement.
But If i change MRP type to VB and maintain reorder point and maintain min lot size, then system generates Del Schdule lines for the same material.
What could be the reason. I want delivery schedules based on MRP Type PD.
Where I am wrong in MRP Views or in any cutomization. It seems that purchasing part is fine since it creats scudles line so no problem in SA or in Source List.
Please help

Hi Vikas,
After being thru with your query,i would like to reply your ultimate question"I want delivery schedules based on MRP Type PD"
Simple answer:put parameter 'delivery schedule line' as '3'(schedule lines in opening period) without simulation mode.
Please make sure you don't make any change with previous settings(custom)
please get it done and revert.

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 consumption

Hi Guru's,
Its bit urgent!!
I have balance receipts up to today against schedule lines say 100nos. These MRP generated schedule lines are of past dates.Alos there are schedule lines in future dates. Today I wants to receive more than 100nos.(say 200nos.) In MB01 I can receive any quantity by selecting "suggest zero lines". If I do so, the extra 100 nos. quantity is consumed against the immediate available schedule line, whether it is firm or non-firm.
My requirement is, I wants to consume this extra quantity from firmed lines.
How can I do this and what is the consumption logic.
Thanks.
Suresh

Hi Suresh,
Now your question is clear. As per my working knowledge about purchased schedule lines your requirement is not possible.
Whenever you make GR then first available scheddule line will be reduced (consumed) and then next till the last availabe one. If stock GR stock increases then no schedule line will come automatically from MRP but you can create manaully.
Firming will come only if create schedule lines quantity manually or changed this after MRP...This is also possible if you use MRP types P1 to P4.
Firming has no effect on the consumption logic, this only restrict the automatic changes of quantites in MRP run..if you want you can change manually.
If you are doing extra GR...compare to the schedule lines quantity then next schedule line quantity will reduce. You cannot restrict this.
Hope this is clear. Any question then please inform with rewarding suitable points.

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

I think below link clearly explain your scenario have a look at it,
