Hi,
do you agree with the following statement ?:
"MRP cannot create automatically scheduling agreement but only schedule lines"

  • Planned delivery time in Scheduling agreement and MRP

    Hello,
    Do you know is it possible to determine system so that MRP run will consider the planned delivery time from the scheduling agreement line instead of material master? Now the system read planned delivery time from material master when creating schedule lines automatically by MRP-run.

  • Creation Profile in Scheduling Agreement and Schedule LIne

    Dear Experts,
    Currently I'm working on Scheduling Agreement and Schedule Line.In standard SAP gives the provision of creation profile.I've gone through the SAP help documentation but I'm not clear on that.I've few doubts on creation profile.

    3. I maintain the aggregation horiozon in creation profile as 10 days daily aggregation for JIT and 120 days for monthly aggregation for forecast.
    4.I run MRP for the header material and I maintain the necessary SA number in Source list.
    5. After MRP run I'm not getting the respective schedule lines for JIT and Forecast.
    6. What is the use of creation profile in Scheduling Agrrement and schedule line and is it determine ant schedule lines after MRP run.

  • 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.

  • 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,

    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.

    Hi Imtiaz,
    Ideally you should have your agent determination logic in workflow itself instead of determinining them in EXIT.
    Can you tell me why you are determining agents in exit and how you are making use of it ?
    Also let us know how your workflows are getting trigger for all these documents.

    Pls tell me elaborately .
    Also Pls explain me about service order and when can i go for service order . whether it is restricted to AMC ?
    Pls explain me elaborately.
    pls explain me steps for creating contract or scheduling agreement and service order..........................

    Regards,

    Hi,
    Contract is outline purchasing agreement where you have a contract with the vendor,may be a for a predetermined quantity or predefined value. So everytime you need the matl,  you need to make PO ref the contract asking for the delivery of the matl. In such instance when PO is ref with contract its called contract release orders or call off orders. So Process are ME01, ME11, ME31K with aggnrement type, ME51,ME21 & MIGO,
    Scheduling agreement is a long term purchase agreement, where you will keep issuing the delivery schedules whenever there is a change in requirement or at predetermined time intervals. The delivery schedule can be on hour/daily/weekly/monthly basis. SA is also an agreement with the vendor for the supply of matl, may be a quanity or value. The delivery dates will be maintained in ME38 ref the SA which are called delivery schedules.So you can maintain the delivery schedule and communicate the vendor on Forecase basis or JIT basis. And when you need some more matl then will only create SA deliveries using ME38. SA could be of 2 types:- without release documentation-system will transmit the delivery info to the vendor once you save the document.
    With release documentation- after creating the delivery schedules you need to create SA release using ME84.So Process are ME01, ME11, ME31K with aggnrement type, ME38 & MIGO,
    Service order or service PO is created with item Category "D" and an account assignment category as per ur requirement. U can not enter ur material here only u have to maintain short text of material. Example: You want to clean the boiler and u given contract to your Vendor. Vendor sends quotation mentioning that Rs.100/hr/Man head. Now how you will measure the cleaning activities of furnace? You can pay to contractor based on the hourly basis/ man head spent in cleaning activities. So in this case create the Purchase Order mentioning "Cleaning" in the short text in Item overview(Acc assignment ' K' or “C” or “P” and Item category 'D) and item details " Man Head" Service No , Gross price - Rs.100.00 and unit - hour ( or pick from Service master) and Quantity-number of hours spent by all man head.
    The steps to create Service PO are:
    1) Maintain Item Category as D & account assignment such as cost center “K”or slaes order”C”
    2) Keep material code field blank.
    3) Enter description of service & other fields in the PO Item Overview level. Press Enter.
    4) System will prompt you to maintain services at Item Level. Maintain your service master number / service description & other fields (quantity / rate /)
    5) Save the PO.

  • Same BO is getting invoked for Pur. Order, Schedule Agreement and Contract

    Hi All,
    My Scenario is like this:
    For Purchase order, Scheduling Agreement and for Contract the Release Statergy are same. For these three scenarios i have created 3 different workflow templates.
    My Purchase order workflow is working fine.
    My problem is :
    When i create a Schedule agreement or a contract, my PO business object is getting invoked and it goes to error.
    I have a doubt:
    For all the three scenario's they are using same number range, will this may be one of reason for the above problem???
    Kindly help me to resolve the issue.
    Thanks and Regards
    Balaji E.

    Hi,
    You can check this link:-
    https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/wiki?path=/display/abap/workflow+scenario (based on PO change)
    https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/wiki?path=/display/crm/action%252bprofiles%252bin%252bsap-crm(reason for more than 1 WF trigger)
    More than 1 WF trigger, could be that there would be a triggering condition that triggers more than 1 WF. Since further the conditions are not satisfied, this could lead the WF in error state.
    Let me know if u still face any issues..!!

    Hi Sreedhar,
    Scheduling Agreement with Delivery Schedules
    Definition
    An outline agreement that is created for one or more materials and outlines the overall expected quantity of the material(s) to be delivered to the customer over a specific period of time.
    Use
    The scheduling agreement is used as a basis for delivering a material. The customer sends in scheduling agreement releases, referred to as delivery schedules, at regular intervals to release a quantity of the material.
    Structure
    The structure of scheduling agreements with delivery schedules resemble that of other sales documents in the R/3 System, in particular the standard scheduling agreement.
    Data that applies to the entire document appears in the header; data about materials appears at item level; and delivery dates and quantities appear in the schedule lines within the delivery schedule. Additionally, the system maintains a history that permits you to compare and contrast various generations of delivery schedules.
    Integration
    Data in scheduling agreements comes from three sources:
    The customer sends in requested quantities and dates, normally by Electronic Data Interchange (EDI)
    The component supplier enters data manually
    The system automatically copies data into the scheduling agreement from master records

  • Contracts & Schedule Agreements and effects on MRP

    Currently our sales people are using SAP Contracts.  The contract shows up in my MRP daily but it shows a qty due to the customer as of the date the sales person entered the contract with complete qty due now or past due.  I am trying to get them to use Schedule Agreements as I don't think these would have the same effect on my MRP when they put in the required date and qty that material needs to actually be delivered. 
    Do you agree that a schedule agreement would be better?
    Please advise.  These contracts are terrible when no dates are put in them.
    Thanks

    Shipment date is the date that the material which will be leaving from the plant from the shipping point.
    In SAP, GI date is the date, when the goods leaving from the Plant premises.
    Delivery date is the date that the material will be reaching at the customer hand
    Delivery date, specifies the date , when goods will be expecting at customer site ( this date will be determined from GI date + Transit duration in Route master).
    1. Do the user has to calculate manually the dates and enter in the scheduline coloumn or
    No need to calculate the dates manually. This Calcuation will be done based on your customization in Route Master ( Transit Duration). but delivery dates has to be entered manually in Schedule lines tab in Scheduling agreements.
    *2. If the person is entering the dleivery date (wht ever given by the customer ) in the schedulines. how will the system will calculate automatcially six week before the delviery date to RUN the MRP
    Based on Delivery date/ GI date/ Pick pack & load time = Material available date will be determined. This Material available date  then transferred to prodcution.

  • Order of delivery schedule line counter at schedule agreements from MRP run

    Currently we are using schedule agreements for our long term external suppliers, but we are facing a problem with the order of new delivery schedule lines created during MRP run.
    Because of master data settings like, lot size, rounding value, plan delivery time and planning time fence to set as firm new requirements, multiple schedule lines are created with no order for schedule line counter.
    Does anyone is aware of a BADI, user exit or customizing control to have this schedule line counter in order?

  • Schedule lines on scheduling agreement by MRP

    Hello,
    we use MRP to generate delivery schedules on a purchasing scheduling agreement. The vendor of the material has a limited capacity but when the need of our customer is very big MRP generates schedule lines on one date (too many for the vendor too handle).
    Is it possible to limit the amount of a schedule line per period (for example we allow to generate 100 tons per week, if the need is 500 tons it should be splitted into 5 schedule lines over 5 weeks).
    Thank you for your help!!!!

    Hello,
    the weekly lot size generates lots per week but this answers only a part of my problem.
    example: vendor can produce 50 tons per week
    need is 200 tons
    with a weekly lot size and a maximum lot size of 50 the system proposes 4 schedule lines of 50 tons on the same week and this is not what I want. I want 1 schedule line of 50 ton on the week and the rest on the weeks in the future.

  • What is the difference between scheduling agreement and delivery schedule

    Hi
    1. Can anyone explain me the difference between scheduling agreement output
        and scheduling agreement delivey schedule
        Will the both look same in T.code SP02 when seeing the output for a document.
        Can anyone send me T.codes for above ones in purchasing.
    2. when seeing the Detailed statement for rebate agreement,there is item number.
        In which table can we see the item number for rebate agreement

    Hi,
    If you have to deal with more complex situations, you can define a delivery cycle in the material master record in addition to the planning cycle. In so doing, you determine the days on whichthe vendor delivers his goods. The delivery cycle is entered in the material master record as a planning calendar in the Planning calendar field.
    You enter a delivery cycle if the delivery date (or the goods receipt date) depends on the day on which you order the goods. For example, you carry out the planning run and place your orders on Mondays and Tuesdays. If you place the order on Monday, the delivery is made on Wednesday, if you wait until Tuesday to place the order, the delivery is not made until Friday
    Where as Planning calander is Three character number (numeric or using letters) that specifically identifies a PPS-planning calendar. The difference between Planning calender and delivery cycle is If you have selected the MRP type "MRP" and have set a period lot-sizing procedure according to planning calendar, you enter here which planning calendar is to be used.
    If you selected the "time-phased planning" MRP type, the planning calendar that you specify here defines the delivery cycle. This specifies the days on which the vendor delivers the material. You can enter the planning cycle in addition to the delivery cycle
