Scheduling Agreement Alternate BOM usage

Hi all,
For a FG material , i have 2 BOMs available for that.
I make a scheduling agreement for Subcontracting process while maintaining schedules ME38 , automatically system is picking the first BOM present for that material , but i want to use the alternate BOM to be picked for that particular vendor or for that Scheduling agreement. So should I maintain any thing else for that agreement .
With Rgds,
Vamsi

Hi,
Maintain two production versions, one for each BOM you have, Assign the default production version to the subcontracting info record
When you create subcon PO, the default production version is used. If you want to change it, go in the item level "Material Data" Tab,
click "Re-explode" and choose the production version you want
Thanks

BOM explosion while creation of scheduling agreement / PO

Hi all,
Can anyone pls tell me how can i control / make settings for the explosion of BOM, when MM creates a scheduling agreement or a PO ?
Also, if i have multiple alternative BOMs, how can i get the BOMs selected automatically??
Thank you,
Shrenik

Dear,
Just a BOM is saficient for your senario.
What other requirement are
1. material master with special procurement key in MRP2
2. A valid BOM. i.e. as of the date it should be active, i.e it should be valid for the given date(as per the release date)
3. Material is maintained in that plant.
4. IMG settings - in OS30...PP01 or BEST should have id 01 and the alternative determination in related application area-alternative determination for MRP--> for a plant it should be 01.( where the BOM usage 1 is maintained), check your BOM usage, it may be 3 or 1, both are okay.
All other settins like inforecord etc will help you to reduce your input data, but above settings will help to explode the BOM in PO.
Hope you understood.

Customer scheduling agreement - explosion of BOM

Hi SAP experts,
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

Hi Nanne,
Yes it is possible for the BOM to be exploded in the sales document the following setting has to be done.
If the item Category group in the materail master is LUMF, the item category of the BOM item is TAP. In the definition of which we need to take the value A Explodes single level BOM in the field structure scope.
Item category group is LUMF , bills components but not the main item. For this the following setting has to be done.
The item category of the main item is TAP, which is not relevant for pricing and item category of the components is TAN, which is relevant for pricing.
Sales Doc Type    Item Category           Usage         Higher Level Item             Item
                              Group                                    Category                Category
            OR     LUMF                -
              TAP
            OR     LUMF                -
                TAP              TAN
Hope this will give u some light on BOM configuration.

Sudarshan.

BOM in Scheduling agreement (Type LZ)

HI
I am using scheduling agreement (Type LZ) for maintaining my sales plan for a period of 4 months. (1st one month - daily & subsequent months as weekly requirements). Ii would create delivery and invoices for each supply.
Pricing previously was based on the finished product (basic price for product was available). SO there was no problem.
New requirement:
finished Product above - is made up of components. Now, price should be derived from components. For this I have enabled SD Bom for my finish product.
But the problem is when i use the Finish product code in scheduling agreement type LZ, the BOM doesn't explode (it explodes in other scheduling agreement types, say LP)
Clarification:
1. Is it possible to calculate price of the higher level material by summing up the components' price?, with out BOM explosion
2. Is BOM explosion possible in scheduling agreement with delivery schedule (LZ).
Note:
1. Necessary settings for item category & BOM master already in place.
2. BOM is exploding in sales order and other sheduling types, except doc type LZ.

If it is maintained as error message, it does not allow me to maintain delivery schedule more than target quantity of 100 EA. Also the overdelivery tolerance is maintained as 20 %, so it should allow me to maintain delivery schedule of 120 EA, but it does not allow me to maintain greater than target quantity of 100 EA. Please let me know your comments.

Correct usage of Scheduling Agreements?

Hi Experts!
One of my groups is using scheduling agreements, however I do not think they are using it the way SAP had intended.
Example: They use Scheduling agreements, similar to a blanket order. However, the blanket order quantity is fluid and the order can remain open even when the initial quantity has been fulfilled. These Scheduling Agreements will contain many items, sometimes around 30-40 line items.
The staff basically conducts two activities for these customers: enter new scheduling agreements with updated validity dates and expedite releases with a less than two week time frame. These expedites are communicated by the customer via email.
The customers submit a 16 week forecast via EDI as well as a firm 2 week JIT. Most scheduling agreement activity occurs systematically, although there are daily expedites for each customer for a few parts.
Initially, when entering a scheduling agreement, the staff does not indicate the JIT schedule. However, they do enter into the Forecast delivery schedule, basically just to activate and allow communication from customer.
My concern is should scheduling agreements contain that many items?
Also, the staff makes many changes in the scheduling agreements and when it reaches the time when the period for the scheduling agreement, what ever material they did not get to ship, they ship it to the customer in one bulk. Are you suppose to do that with scheduling agreements?
In addition, sometimes the staff allocates some of the materials promised to the customer on the scheduling agreements to another customer, then just re-allocates it back at a later time...should this be done or is it bad business practice?
What are good business practices for usage of Scheduling Agreements? Any information will be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time in advance!

you should not do that the reason is SA is use full for the JIT and promise to deliver things
In addition, sometimes the staff allocates some of the materials promised to the customer on the scheduling agreements to another customer, then just re-allocates it back at a later time...should this be done or is it bad business practice?
It's depent on the company bussiness policy - not rgiht process but if bussiness want to do then what else you can do?

A customer scheduling agreement is an outline agreement with the customer containing delivery quantities and dates. These are then entered as schedule lines in a delivery schedule. You can either create schedule lines when you create the scheduling agreement or you can create them later.
You fulfill a scheduling agreement by creating the deliveries in the schedule as they become due. You process deliveries for a scheduling agreement in exactly the same way as you process a normal delivery. After you have carried out the delivery, the system updates the Delivered quantity field in the scheduling agreement item with the delivery quantity. The following graphic shows the document flow for scheduling agreements.
The same functions are at your disposal for processing scheduling agreements as there are for the sales order, including pricing and availability checks.
In addition to the standard scheduling agreements you can also manage scheduling agreements for the component supplier industry, with their special features that include:
Working with scheduling agreements with EDI output
Entering scheduling agreements in a forecast or just-in-time (JIT) delivery schedule
Using different types of cumulative quantities
Taking into account the automatic fiscal year change used by the component supplier
Managing engineering change statuses
Storing packing proposals
Creating correction deliveries for the scheduling agreement
Working with external service agents

BOM not copied to sch. line in Sub Contract scheduling agreement in Kanban.

Hi,
We are trying to procure material (A) via subcontract scheduling agreement document using Kanban process. This subcontract material has a valid BOM (say it has child materials B & C). We are working with 'Replenishment element for kanban' model (not JIT call).
When Kanban bins status is changed to empty, a schedule line is placed in the subcontract scheduling agreement. But when we try to view the BOM of the schedule line created (Item -> components -> overview), we dont find any child material (B&C) attached to it. Hence when Kanban bin was changed from RED to GREEN, material movement 101 takes place for parent material (A) but 543 (consumption of child materials) is not happening for child materials (B &C).
Mean while, we created some schedule lines manually in aforementioned SC sch.agreement. When we view the BOM of this manually created schedule line, we can see the child materials attached to it. Hence when bin status was changed from RED to GREEN, both 101 & 543 movements were posted.
Can anyone let us know what needs to be done so that when Kanban bin is changed to EMPTY, it places schedule line in SC sch.agreement along with its BOM (Child material) details?
Warm regards,
Saravana.

Dear Ashok,
Issue: how to make BOM field(Component Part) in PO/ SA field non editable in MM customising. After the PO is saved user can not able to edit the component field in PO or Scheduling Agrreement.
BOM field ( component Part ) is directly dependent on quantiyu of material entered. so once you change the PO quantity the component quanity wil change accordingle,
presently you can not achievev thease
but You can set the release strategy like that Po that it is not changable, doing so u r requirement willl achieve
Hope your query is resolved

GR for scheduling agreement pulling old BOM component

We have a scheduling agreement that contains a material BOM as a line item. This BOM was originally created with one component, but then was changed to a different component months later (in February). We then created a new scheduling agreement AFTER the BOM was revised (in March), however, when we do a GR for that BOM item, it is pulling in the old component. If we look directly at the scheduling agreement in ME38, it pulls in the correct, new component.
Any thoughts? We've checked the validity date on the BOM and it is correct so I don't know why it would be going back to the old component.
Thanks in advance for your help.

hi,
do u have two levels of bom for that material..?? 1st level would be first bom..and the second level would be revised bom..is it right..? or u have just added the materials in the same bom..?? let me know this.
check the delivery schedules which you have maintained for that scheduling agreement and posting date for grn too.

prasath

Scheduling agreement without usage in MRP / MD04

Hello,
i want to use a scheduling agreement which isn't relevant for MRP. I use the standard agreement type LPA (Scheduling Agreement). The storage location for this process is marked as u201Cstock excluded from MRPu201D and the Source list record is also not relevant to MRP. Although I set these parameters, the schedules appear in MD04.
Is there any possibility like the requirement class in SD? In SD I can set the parameter "Transfer of requirements".
Regards
Andreas

It wont be possible to exclude seperate document type from MRP.
Excluding a Sloc wont work. MD04 list will show the Scheduling Agreement.
You can use a Custom 'Z' Logic to supress the Scheduling agreement from MD04. the program can be written in ABAP Code.

Subcontracting in scheduling agreement

Dear all,
while doing subcontracting scheduling agreement, how can we add the child components to the parent material.
in cs01 ,we maintained the bill of material for the parent material.in CS11 we are able to view it.
Regards,
velu

Hi,
If you have already maintained the BOM in CS01, you need not have to maintain the seperate BOM in Scheduling Agreement, because, the already existing BOM will get copied. The only thing you will have to do is that, define special procurement category as 30 (Sub-Contracting) in MRP2 view of the material master & then create the SchedulingAgreement with item category as L (Sub-Contracting).
Hope this clears.

Prashant

Scheduling Agreement to Delivery

Dear All,
I am using scheduling agreement and explode the BOM in it, with LUMF (TAP) TAN and TAN.
In scheduling agreement I assign schedule line for all the items including 1 main, 2 and 3 for sub item.
When i create delivery same will be copy accordingly to the delivery document and priceing will calculate fine...
But when i create deivery after saving first delivery document, let say create delivery for 17.03.2010 and than create for 18.03.2010 system only call the sub items on the delivery document ????
give me your value added feedback at your earliest.

Planned delivery cost for the scheduling agreement

Hi Experts
1. I have an requirement to post Invoice ver. for the Planned delivery cost (freight,customs duty,CVD etc) against the Scheduling Agreement just like Import Purchases with checking off the GR Based IV Indicator before doing the GR
I tried it but its giving me that no delivery costs are Planned in the Scheduling agreements it runs fine in case of the PO because PO is a time independent. Please inform how to post the same for schedule agreement with time dependent indicator on. I tried switching off the time dependent indicator and the system allowed, but my requirement is to Post I.V for the delivery cost with the time dependent indicator on.
Appreciate if you can suggest something in this case Urgently .
2. Aother issue is we have some uploaded Scheduling agreement from legacy system with Time dependent conditions. For this we need to post planned delivery cost in Miro. Since the system is not allowing to post, how to about for this. Shall we enter the delivery cost in unplanned delivery cost in Miro and post. Please suggest if any alternate solution is available.
Regards
Arvind

Hi,
As you know if the delivery cost document is not posted during GR the
delivery cost is not proposed during invoice (MIRO). Planned delivery
cost will be proposed in invoice only when there are records in EKBZ
table. The EKBZ table will be updated when delivery cost is posted
during GR itself.
Please ensure in the PO itself thatr the conditions have been defined
properly with the relevant amounts and values.
During GR when planned delivery cost conditions are present in PO,
system checks for values in amount field. Then only appropriate
calculations will be done for delivery cost and planned delivery cost
document will posted during GR and hence updates EKBZ table.
Solution to this issue is described in below steps,
1) reverse the invoice document
2) reverse GR document.
3) You have to give values in amount field in relevant conditions ZGDS
   in the PO.
   If you face any issues changing the values, delete above conditions
   and put it again manually and give values in amount field also.
4) Post GR once again, delivery cost document will also be posted.
   You can check it in PO history.
5) During invoice select Item + planned delivery cost and post the
   invoice. If you need planned delivery cost to be posted separately,
   then you can post individual invoice for item and delivery cost.
Please note it is not possible to post delivery costs for documents with
multiple accountassignments.
For your second question, I am afraid I can not answer. Please open a new ntry in the forum, so that someone else can answer it.
Best Regards,
Arminda Jack

Creation profile settings for Scheduling Agreement

Hi Experts,
I have a question regarding parameters of Creation profile maintained in Scheduling Agreement.
In ‘General Parameters’, the Forecast delivery schedules there exists a parameter ‘FRC:Aggregation’.
I would like to know about the significance of using option ‘3’ as ‘FRC:Aggregation’ parameter in creation profile.
Please provide some details regarding usage of above said Aggregation parameter in Creation profile.
Thank you.
Best Regards,
Ashok

If you work with release creation periodicity and planning calendar (lets say delivery schedule every Friday) there might be schedule lines in between and these were aggregated to this fixed day.

Subcontracting Using Scheduling agreement

I am trying to carry out subcontracting using Scheduling Agreement, but not able to achieve the same. Please let me know stepwise porocedure to carry out the same.

Hi,
Please cehck the following,
Requirement Subcontracting Orders to be generated as schedule line using MRP.
Solution is as follows.
Step 1
Transaction Code: MM01
Path Logistics  Materials Management  Material Master  Material  Create (general)  Immediately
Create Material Master with source list marked in Purchasing view and Special Procurement type is 30 in MRP2 View.
Source List to be marked in Purcahsing data view of material master record.
Procurement type in F
In MRP-2 view, Special procurement 30 Subcontract
Step 2.
Create Q-Info Records.
Transaction: QI01
Menu Path: Logistics  Quality Management  Quality Planning  Logistics Master Data  Q-Info Record: Procurement  Create
Step 3.
Create a Scheduling Agreement (Doc. type LP).
Enter the firm zone: Zone in which the requirement should be converted to Schedule lines.
Save the document
Step 4.
Create Source List
Transaction: ME01
Path: Logistics  Materials Management  Purchasing  Master Data  Source List  Maintain
In ME01,
Enter the valid from and to date, vendor, purchasing organization, agreement created in STEP 3, and MRP indicator as 2 = Record relevant to MRP. Sched. lines generated automatically. SAVE the record
STEP 5
RUN MRP.
Transaction is MD02.
Path: Logistics  Production  MRP  Planning  Single item, multi level
Control. Parameter to be used for schedule lines is 2, This will ensure that requirement in the firm zone is converted to schedule lines rest will be converted to planned order.
Next is the solution for splitting the requirement in two vendors.
step-6
The splitting of requirement will be handled using quota arrangement.
Following are the steps to be followed:
Step 1. Customizing settings
Transaction: OMI4 (Define Lot sizing procedures), Choose MRP Lot Size
Mark the Splitting quota.
The Splitting will enable the requirement to be split between two vendors. The following are the details of the same.
Step 2. Change the Material Master
Change views
View to be changed is Purchasing
Input the Quota arr. Usage as 3 (MRP relevant).
Step 3. Create Info Records.
Transaction: ME11
Choose Subcontracting and create the info record.
Step 4. Maintain the Source List
Transaction: ME01
To add the next vendor
Step 5. Create Quota Arrangement
Transaction: MEQ1
Path: Logistics  Materials Management  Purchasing  Master Data  Quota arrangement  Maintain
Input the material and plant and press enter.
Input the Valid to date and Min. qty splitting (If the requirement is greater than Min qty Splitting only then the requirement will be split else it will be allocated to only one vendor based on the Quota
Enter the following details
Procurement type as F = External procurement
Special procurement as L = Subcontract
Vendors for which splitting is to take place.
Calculating the Quota Rating
The system assigns a quota rating to each source of supply. The quota rating is calculated as follows:
Quota-allocated quantity + Quota base quantity
= Quota rating
Quota
where
     Quota-allocated quantity
= Total quantity from all purchase requisitions, purchase orders, release orders, and scheduling agreement schedules allocated to a given source of supply. (The quantities of quota-allocated planned orders are also taken into account.)
     Quota base quantity
= Quantity used to control the quota arrangement when new sources of supply are included.
     Quota
= A number specifying which portion of a total requirement should be obtained from a certain source.
The source with the lowest quota rating represents the valid source, even if it has a quota rating of 0 (that is, the quota-allocated quantity and the quota base quantity have the value 0). If more than one source of supply has a quota rating of 0, the item with the highest quota is the valid source of supply.
According to the formula, the following applies: The higher the quota, the lower the quota rating and the higher the likelihood that the relevant source will be determined as the valid source.
But in case of splitting SAP will not go on the basis of Quota it will purely split the requirement quantity between two or more vendor on the basis of Quota %.
Step5. RUN MRP
Remember to choose the schedule lines control indicator to 2.
Please try this.
Don't forget to reward, if found to be useful.

Varma

Subcontracting Scheduling Agreement

Hi all
can anybody please let me know what are the Customization step required to set up the Subcontracting Scheduling Agreement
and how to see the component in BOM provide to vendor as we have already maintained the BOM
your quick response will be highly appreciated
Thanks

Hi,
Customization for subcontracting Scheduling agreement is same as regular scehduling agreement. It is Std SAP.
In the Item Catergory enter "L" for subcontracting
You can view the bill of material in the subcontracting scheduling agreement in this path
Item > components> Over view
(OR) go to the print review in that you can see components provided to the vendor

Scheduling agreement in subcontracting.

Hi,
what are the advantages of using a Scheduling agreement in "Subcontracting"?
A scheduling agreement for subcontracting and a purchase order with material that will be send to the vendor to manufacture the end product are two different steps in subcontracting?
Best regards

Hi,
If you have already maintained the BOM in CS01, you need not have to maintain the seperate BOM in Scheduling Agreement, because, the already existing BOM will get copied. The only thing you will have to do is that, define special procurement category as 30 (Sub-Contracting) in MRP2 view of the material master & then create the SchedulingAgreement with item category as L (Sub-Contracting).
Hope this clears.
