Scheduling Agreement - Cannot Release, cant create message in LPA

Hello,
I have gone through all the threads on Scheduling Agreement but could not find the answer to the problem I am facing.
I created scheduling agreement through LP, everything went through smooth.
Now while create scheduling agreement through LPA, I am facing these problems, I cannot create output message while using ME38, but can create message through ME32L, but message output through me32L just creates printout of required quantity, no line items printed on it, and when I try to create output message through ME38 the message window comes in display mode, whereas while creating output message through LP, it allowed me to configure it. So first question, how can I enter my output setting in ME38 where SA is created through LPA.
Secondly document is created through LPA, but I cannot release it through ME84. I followed all the required settings, but its not letting me release the document, the traffic light is constant RED. Any ideas?
Lastly, No GR. Going through forum messages, I learnt that until the document is not released I cannot do GR. The dates of lines I changed it to post date, even behind the post date, but its still coming up as document doesnot have selectable items. Please help
Thanks/Afshad

Hello Prasand,
Your answer was helpful, but all these steps mentioned by you were already followed by me. My one question got answered there, why I get the messages in ME38 in uneditable format, but when I use ME84 for SA release, the result comes up in Red, and there I dont see any option to go further. Am I missing any step before it?
I clicked on List>Print Preview, the messages of JIT are there, then I click List> Print, dialog box comes up asking Output Device, I use default device LP01 there and then when I click OK message comes up Spool request (number 0000005941) created without immediate output and the problem remains no Sa released. Any help?
3. Ensure that the output message condition records for output types LPJ1 / LPH1 maintained.
Is this line refering to Customizing>MM>Purchasing>Messages>Output control>conditions tables?Define Condition tables, if yes I dont know how to configure this and havent read anywhere how to get this part configured.
I configured Output control>Messages Determination Schemas>Define messages schemas for SA>Define Message determination schemas, there in control data, i put LPJ1 and LPH1 requirements as 105 which is for delivery schedule, earlier it was pointing to 109 and 111, then Assign Schema: Sa release/expiditer I checked the R indicator. Am I correct?
I guess without the SA release, I cannot do the GR against my SA as when I do GR it gives message no selectable items.

If your strategy is set up so that all three levels must release the agreement before it is final released I do not believe you can generate a printout.

Scheduling Agreement - Automatic Release Individual Schedule Lines

Dear all.
I've create a "LPA" scheduling Agreement and its release type is "JIT". So, I use to ME38 to maintain the individual JIT delivery schedule lines.
The problem I have is this method requires the person to manually release each individual delivery schedule line document on the due date before GR is allowed. Hence, is there a SAP system function that can automatically release any due delivery schedule line document without having to manually track and release using ME38 each day/week/month?
Thanks.
Steven

Hello
use t.code ME84 then system release the sch.lines automatically those maintained with me38.

ME38 resets Release strategy of Scheduling agreement

Hello,
It seems when the users change the delivery date in the delivery schedule (transaction ME38), the system in some cases resets the release strategy of the scheduling agreement from "Release" to "Not Release".It happened only in some case,release indicator set to "4" in our case.
I cannot understand why this happens.
Has anyone encountered such a problem before.
Thanks
Sunil

Stock Transport Scheduling Agreement - error message: 'Stock in transit exceeded'
Hi, I do have a question about transport scheduling agreements.
I have created a stock transport scheduling agreement via ME37, doc. type LU for a stock material from issuing plant TT01 to receiving plant TH01. The material is maintained in both plants.
After that,I maintain the delivery schedule via ME38 for a quantity for today. The quantity is available at issuing plant TT01, checked via MMBE.
Then, I try to post the goods via MIGO. When I try to post the document, I get the following error message: "PL Stock in transit exceeded by 1,000 T% : 794 TH01 S1". Why do I get that? My target is to decreate the stock quantity in TT01 and to increase the stock quantity in TH01.
Thanks, Peter

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.

Schedule agreement releases

How I will come to know the Schedule Agreement is released or not in ME84? LPA is agreement type.
ME84 I have executed and next screen green light is coming.
But while going to ME33L and seeing Release number ,its 0.
Please explain how I can do this?
Thanks

Hi PS,
You need to output the last relase. Once you process it's output successfully, it would be considered. Otherwise not.
Any release which is not transmitted, is not considered as valid for use in SA.

Scheduling agreement with relase - doc type LPA with JIT

Hi
can any one give the steps for Scheduling agreement with relase - doc type LPA with JIT process.. and explain how the JIT will work in SA.
Pls advise what are config required and what the user tcode needed to perform the SA with JIT concept.

Dear Friend,
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.

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.

Could you help me to correct it .

Hi Jaya,
what i meant is that, if you have changed the existing JIt delivery schedules i.e changing the existing schedule line qty.
If the Jit delivery schedules are not saved with open quantity in the Scheduling Agreement, cannot creat delivery for that schedules.
