  • Document type LPA in schedule agreement

    any one can explain me document type LPA in schedule agreement. I read books as that is document type with release documentation. And what is the diff between LP and LPA?

    Dear,
    Please find below, which I found by search and posted by fellow collegues earlier....
    Default quantity for goods receipt
    In the standard system, the quantity open to date from the last- transmitted SA release is used in the case of scheduling agreements with release documentation (document type LPA). In the case of scheduling agreements without release documentation (document type LP), the open quantity to date is used.
    Document Type of Scheduling Agreement
    As a rule, the APO scheduling agreement in the SAP R/3 system is a scheduling agreement with the document type LP or a scheduling agreement without release documentation.
    If you use scheduling agreements of the document type LPA without confirmation control key then no default quantities can be determined from the release upon goods receipt.
    If you use scheduling agreements of the document type LPA with confirmation control key then the default quantities from the confirmation (shipping notification) are used.
    As a rule, the OLTP scheduling agreement in the SAP R/3 System is a scheduling agreement with the document type LPA.
    A scheduling agreement is a longer trem agreement with a vendor covering the supply of materials subject to predefined conditions.The conditions are valid for a pre defined period and a pre defined total purchase order quantity.
    You can enter the Target value in the header data of the scheduling agreement.You can enter the Target quantity in the item overview for each item
    You can use scheduling agreement with or without release documentation.The advantage of working with scheduliing agreement release documentation is that you always have a record of when you sent which delivery schedule information to your vendor,which you can display at any time.
    Without release documentation(Document type LP)
    The delivery schedule lines have official character-that is to say,they are transmitted to the vendor as they are saved in the system.The system does not document in detail releases aganist the scheduling agreement that have been sent to the vendor.Therefore,in the case of the document type without release documentation,the message control facility should be set up in such a way that a message is immediately sent to vendor if any changes are made to the delivey schedule stored in the system.
    With release documnetation(Document type LPA)
    If you use scheduling agreement with release documentation,the delivery schedule lines are not transmitted directly to the vendor.Intially ,the lines of the delivery schedule stored in the system for an LPA scheduling agreement for an internal information only.A message informing the vendor of your material requirements cannot be transmitted to the vendor until you explicitly create an SA release,that is forecast (FRC) or Just in Time(JIT) delivey schedule.Through this process,you can change the way schedule lines are represented.With release documentation,you can disply the SA releases(delivery schedules) transmitted to a vendor over a certain period of any time.This enables you to trace precisely when you sent which information to vendor.

  • Stock Trnaspost Scheduling Agreement(Lpcc)

    Hi,
    Pls help me with regard to the following:
    My Scenario:
    This is with regard to stock transport schedule agreement with Cross Company document type (LPCC).
    The process followed for this is:
    Created the schedule line, and created the outbound delivery in the supplying plant and inbound delivery in the receiving plant and then make a GR.
    Planned delivery time (PLD) for the u201CFu201D item in material master and in the Info record, and I do not have any transportation planning and no time is given for the packing and shipment.
    My issue:
    The u201CDelivery date (LFDAT)u201D for the ship-to-party is not considering the planned delivery time (PLD) given in the SA. It is providing the same date as it proposes for the planned goods issue.
    If it will not consider the PLD, then why it is required to give for this type of scenario?

  • How are deliveries automatically created from scheduling agreement?

    How are deliveries automatically created from the schedule line of the scheduling agreement? Can anybody explain this step by step? Can we use the code VL10BATCH for this purpose? If we can, how is this code used?
    Thanks in advance.

    hi
    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 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.
    Document Types
    To configure document types for scheduling agreements, choose Sales -> Sales Documents -> Sales Document Header -> Define sales document types in Customizing for Sales and Distribution.
    The R/3 System contains the following document types for component suppliers:
    LZ - Scheduling agreement with delivery schedules (no external agents)
    LZM - Scheduling agreement with delivery orders
    LK - Scheduling agreement with delivery schedules (external agents)
    ED - Delivery by external agent (consignment issue)
    EDKO - External agent correction
    RZ - Scheduling agreement returns (no external agents)
    KAZU - Consignment pick-up for external agents
    KRZU - Consignment returns for external agents
    Item Categories
    To configure item categories for scheduling agreements, choose Sales -> Sales Documents -> Sales Document Item -> Define item categories in Customizing for Sales and Distribution.
    The system determines the following item categories for the related document types in
    documents containing materials with item category group NORM:
    Item category LZN for scheduling agreement type LZ
    Item category LZMA for scheduling agreement type LZM
    Item category LKN for scheduling agreement type LK
    Item category KEN for document type ED
    Item category EDK for positive corrections (or the manual alternative EDK1 for
    negative corrections) for document type EDKO
    Item category REN for document type RZ
    Item category KAN for document type KAZU
    Item category KRN for document type KRZU
    Schedule Line Categories
    To configure schedule line categories for scheduling agreements, choose Sales -> Sales Documents -> Schedule lines -> Define or Assign schedule line categories in Customizing for Sales and Distribution.
    The R/3 System contains the following schedule line categories for component suppliers:
    L1, BN, L2, and CN for item category LZN
    E4, E0, E5, and BN for item category LKN
    L2 for item category LZMA (standard for delivery order processing)
    Schedule Line Types
    To configure schedule line types for scheduling agreements, choose Sales -> Sales Documents -> Scheduling Agreements with Delivery Schedules -> Define schedule line types in Customizing for Sales and Distribution.
    Creating Scheduling Agreements
    To create a scheduling agreement with delivery schedules:
    1. In the Sales menu http://Ext. choose Scheduling agreement ->Create.
    2. Enter scheduling agreement type LK (standard) or LZ (external agents) and the
    relevantorganizational data.
    3. Choose ENTER.
    4. Enter the following data:
    Sold-to or ship-to party number
    Purchase order or closing number
    Material or customer material number
    You can use the Description field to identify the scheduling agreement. For
    example,
    you could enter the model year for a particular production series.
    The system allows up to 35 digits for a customer material number.
    Rounding quantity
    Usage
    Choose Goto -> Header -> Sales to enter the usage at header level, or Goto ->
    Item-> Sales A to enter it at item level. The system proposes usage S, for series, as default in both cases.
    Planning indicator
    Choose Goto -> Header ->Sales.
    Target quantity
    Mark an item and choose Goto -> Item -> Sales A
    Partners
    For scheduling agreements with external agents , choose Goto -> Header

  • Link between the Schedule Lines and the GR document

    Hi
    I would like to find the link between the Schedule Lines (of Scheduling Agreement) and the GR document. i.e. which GR has been made against which Schedule Line. I have checked the tables EKET, EKBE, MSEG but there is no link with the Schedule Line, I found the link only with the item number there.
    Thanks
    Prashanth

    Hi
    At the time of posting the GR for a SA you will be not posting this with reference to the Schedule line of the SA item. So system will always update the GR document against the SA item and update qty on the schedule line.
    May be this is the reason we donot have any direct relation ship to material document and Scheclue line
    Thanks & Regards

  • PO - Scheduling agreement

    Hi
    What is the main difference between a purchase order and a scheduling agreement ?
    regards,
    senthil.

    Hi
    Purchase order and schedule agreements both are legal documents.
    Purchase Order does not have validity period, it will have delivery dates, If you have a requirement of 1000 qty at different delivery dates, PO supports that but all these dates are immediately transmitted to vendor.
    Example: Delivery dates 30 May’07: 200, 30 Jun’07: 500, 30 July’07: 300
    All above requirement are transmitted immediately when you transmit purchase order.
    Schedule agreement is a long terms agreement with the vendor with certain conditions like prince and delivery terms etc.
    You will create a schedule agreement for the total quantity required by you, but you will place a separate delivery schedule for the required quantity.
    Example: If you require 200 on 30 May’07, create a separate delivery schedule. similarly for all future requirements
    These schedule line will form as part of history. When we use schedule agreements we have the option of sending firm and trade off quantities to vendors, we can also use JIT schedule with release documentation.

    Hi,
    First Define Time Dependent or Not Depenedent  via
    In the case of scheduling agreements and quotations, the document type determines whether time-dependent or time-independent conditions can be created. You can set the Time-Dependent Conditions indicator in Customizing for the document type to enable time-dependent conditions to be maintained in scheduling agreements and quotations.
    Define time-dependency in scheduling agreements and quotations:
    SAP Customizing Implementation Guideu2192Materials Managementu2192Purchasing u2192 RFQ/Quotation or Scheduling Agreement u2192 Define Document Types
    and document type is
    Define document types for scheduling agreement:
    SAP Customizing Implementation Guideu2192Materials Managementu2192Purchasing u2192 Scheduling Agreement u2192 Define Document Types
    For release u can create Release profile
    Create release creation profile:
    SAP Customizing Implementation Guideu2192Materials Managementu2192Purchasing u2192 Scheduling Agreement u2192 Maint. Rel. Creation Profile for Sched. Agmt w. Rel. Docu.
    You can use release creation profiles to define the criteria for the creation of SA releases (you can influence the quantities and delivery dates/times to be transmitted to the vendor, for example).
    Whether or not you can generate both forecast and JIT delivery schedules against a scheduling agreement with release documentation is determined by the JIT delivery schedule indicator in the material master record. In order for you to be
    able to work with JIT schedules, the JIT delivery schedule indicator must be set in the material master record (Purchasing or MRP 2 view) and in the additional data for the scheduling agreement item. No JIT delivery schedules can be created unless this indicator has been set.
    Hope Help U !

  • About scheduling agreement

    Hi,
    Can anoybody tell me that what is the difference between scheduling agreement with release document and scheduling agreement w/o release document?
    what are the benefits of the scheduling agreement with release document?
    Thanks
    Ashish

    Hi Ashish,
    Release nothing but creating output messages which we will send to vendor ( just like purchase order output message like printouts), by automatically ( without release, document type LP) or depending upon certain criteria i.e with release, document type LPA.
    If you ar using scheduling agreements without release documentation ( document type LP), the message is generated directly. i.e the movement you save the schedule lines the system creates the delivery schedule and sends to the vendor
    If you are using scheduling agreements with release documentation ( document type LPA), you must explicitly generate SA releases ( FRC or JIT)
    The schedule lines of a scheduling agreement release contain finalized information for the vendor regarding quantities and delivery dates. The schedule lines are recorded with the aid of the release documentation and can thus be displayed and verified at any time. The release documentation enables you to see which schedules you transmitted to the vendor during the last two weeks, for example, and check the correctness of goods receipts against the relevant schedule lines.
    In the case of with release (delivery schedules) the output messages are controlled by creation profile.
    Creation profile
    1.     it aggregates the release (i.e. scheduled) dates and quantities
    2.     It generates an SA release in accordance with the creation strategy and the entries on the initial screen for SA release creation.
    3.     The releases (delivery schedules) are transmitted as messages to the vendor
    The advantage of with release is you can create forecast delivery schedule (FRC) and Just in time delivery schedule ( JIT)
    Forecast (FRC) delivery schedule
    Provides the vendor with longer-term data regarding the quantities needed of a material and when delivery is required. In such schedules, the timing of delivery is usually expressed in terms of calendar months or weeks. Note: approximately equivalent EDI terms for the ”forecast delivery schedule” are: ”planning schedule with release capability” (ANSI 830) ”delivery schedule (message)” (EDIFACT DELFOR), and ”delivery instruction” (ODETTE DELINS).
    •       Just-in-Time (JIT) delivery schedule
    Provides the vendor with data on required quantities and desired delivery dates/times covering the near future.In such schedules, the timing of delivery is usually expressed in terms of specific days or even times of the day. Note: equivalent EDI terms for the ”JIT delivery schedule” are: ”Shipping schedule”: (ANSI 862) and ”Delivery just in time message” (EDIFACT DELJIT).

  • Scheduling agreement: Reference document type is diferent

    All SAP Gurus,
    We have created a scheduling agreemnet with document type SA01.
    Now, we want to create a new scheduling agreement with reference to it (SA01), but its document type is different (SA02).
    So, system is giving an eror message as 'Reference doc. type SA01 differs from doc. type SA02.
    Message no. 06033.
    Are there any configurational settings by which we can create a scheduling agreement with reference to some other document type?
    Regards,

    Hi Sandeep,
    Thanks for the reply.
    But, I'm unable to follow. Can you explain in detail.
    Right now what we are following is:
    Step 1. Going to T code ME31L
    Step 2. Entering the document type with which we want to create the scheduling agreement (in the field 'Agreemet type')
    Step 3. Then clicking on Copying document (Ctrl+F2), and entering reference document number (here the reference document type is different)
    Now, system gives an error as 'Reference doc. type SA01 differs from doc. type SA02.

  • Automatic Document Adjustment for Scheduling Agreements

    Hi all,
    we are usiing automatic document adjustment for purchase orders and it is working fine. If price in the info record is changed the purchase order is updated accordingly as long as no follow on documents are existing.
    I am wondering if scheduling agreements can also be updated as long as no follow on documents are existing. I tried to get them updated but did not succeed.
    Maybe somebody has wver tried it and knows if in general it is possible.
    Thank you for helping.
    Regards
    Carolin

    yes it is possible,
    to get the goal you have to set the Scheduling agreement without time-dependent conditions.
    how?  SAP IMG >Scheduling Agreement>Define Document Types and unflag the time-independent conditions.

  • Scheduling agreement to Delivery Document

    Dear All Gurus,
    I am facing an issue, please advise it is the standard system functionality, if yes tell me the work around.
    I have a schedulin gagreement with two schedule lines for say 23.03.2010 Qty 5, and 24.03.2010 Qty 5.
    As per my business scenario fluctuation occur i deliveries.
    on 23.03.2010 delivery change from 5 to 6 units system process is accordingly.
    but when i see the scheduling agreement system have following satus
    Date            Delivery Qty
    23.03.2010      5
    24.03.2010      1
    when 24th of march still not come, system not only adjust the quantitywith te next date but also transfer the extra quantity to the next date.
    and when i will start delivery for the 24.03.2010 system by default shows me the 4 qty.
    If for the time being i accept it is the standard functionlity, and if some one ask me the qty delivery on 23.03.2010 system shows it 5, but as per senario actual quantity delivred is 6 on the 23rd march.
    I want that system only call the schedule quantity, and if there is fluctuation system cater it against the same delivery date. new delivery date come fresh with its actual as per correct scheduling agreement.
    Requesting you to pls try it from you end, and send me your valuable feedback.
