Scheduling agreement ( Pur. doc. Type LPA) does not get updated in MEI1

We have a requirement that, purchasing documents ( POs and Scheduling Agreements) needs to be updated when there is change in price in purchasing info record. We have made configurations to activate the change pointers on pricing conditions and they are working fine. To update the price in purchasing documents following process is used.
1.     Transaction MEI4 u2013 Create work list
2.     Transaction MEI3 u2013 Recompilation of document index.
3.     Transaction MEI1 u2013 Changes to purchasing documents due to changes in conditions.
After running MEI1, price is updated only in purchasing documents and the update does not take place in scheduling agreement. Does anyone one know what things may be missing? Or is this a SAP transaction issue?

Hi
If scheduling agreement has time dependent conditions it will not update. You need to remove time dependent tick from document type definition config.(spro>MM>purchasing>scheduling agreement>define document type)
remove tick mark it will update.

To allow GR few days in Advance in Scheduling Agreement process

Dear all,
I would like to know if the following is possible via SAP.
I understand that when the both ME84 and the ME9E is trigger, the Goods Receipt for Schedule Agreement will not be possible if the goods receipt date is way before the delivery date.
For example, if I am going to perform a GOOD RECEIPT on today (march 10th) and the delivery date below is stated the week of 18th 2014 (i.e. during the last week of April). System will not allow.
But my question is this:
If today is 25 of April (i.e. 3 days before 28th of April stated in the SA), may I know if the SAP system allow Goods Receipt into system given that it is only 3 days different and it is quite usual on business practise that the goods are produced few days in advance (not 1 week in advance, but delivery few days in advance). Does this allow in SAP during MIGO-GR or will it hits error message?
If not, then may I know if there a way to set a GR tolerance on this which allow few days in advance to able to perform GR into system for Scheduling Agreement in SAP?
Regards,
Daniel

Honestly, schedule agreements shall be used if you rely on delivery dates in any kind. Too early is bad because you have no storage capacity, too late is bad because your production may run out of components and gets stuck.
It is an agreement with your vendor to get the material on time. For any other case you can use the schedule lines in the purchase order, or you can fix the prices in a contract.
if you travel with train or plane, you get a schedule, with the dates and the time ,with your connections... you expect that everything works like it is written there. How disappointed would you be if you arrive at the airport on Thursday and you get told that your connection flight was already here 3 days earlier.
If I am not mistaken, then you got already in several similar discussions the OSS note that has the modification that allows to receive earlier.

Problem during grn for scheduling agreement

Dear Pals,
I have done scheduling agreement with doc.type LP. I have maintained schedule lines also. While doing GRN for that, it is throwing an error
" PU ordered quntity exceeded by 300 ea: 3000000200 "
How could i resolve this...
Prasath

Hi,
How you had maintained schedule lines...month wise/week wise/ day wise.
If suppose you maintained month wise like 11/2008 --- 300 qty and you are making GR in 12/2008 then system will allow but if you are making GR before the schedule line date/period then system will give you the above error.
Please check your dates in schedule lines and GR date. Gr date must be on schedule line date or after the schedule line date.
Please provide the dates maintained in schedule and GR date.
Regards,
Umesh

Perform Post Goods Receipt Against Scheduling Agreement

Dear all,
I've weird problem here. This is concering GR against Scheduling Agreement. I've a "LPA" type Scheduling Agreement and all the delivery schedule maintained and schedule line released successfully in ME38.
When I do GR via MIGO by entering the Scheduling Agreement #, a prompt was given with no items selected. Note: My schedule line delivery date = GR posting date.
What I did was, inside MIGO I go to Settings | Default Values and check on "Propose All Items". Finally, the affected line item appears but with "blank" quantity. So, I key in the actual quantity per the released schedule line and complete the GR posting successfully.
Question 1: Why do I need to perform the MIGO propose all items setting? Normal PGR against PO doesn't require this.
Question 2: Is this a standard SAP behavior or I'm doing PGR - scheduling agreement process the wrong way?
Appreciate any expert clarification.
Thanks in advance.
Steven

Hi Jurgen,
I've read Notes 493404 and I'm facing Question 10
10. Question:
For the goods receipt for the scheduling agreement the system displays error M7 064: "Document xx does not contain any selectable items".
Answer:
A possible reason is that the document is subject to a release strategy and has yet to be released. You can check this using transaction ME33 and release it subsequently if necessary.
Another reason can be that although a confirmation control key that contains a confirmation category with GR assignment has been maintained for the scheduling agreement item, this category has yet to be confirmed. You can check this using transactions ME33 and OMGZ. If necessary, create the relevant confirmation.
Another reason may be that no undelivered schedule line exists up to the posting date. If nevertheless you want to post the GR, you can use transaction ME38 to bring the next schedule line date forward, or in transaction MB01 you can select the "Suggest Zero Lines" field or in transaction MIGO the "Propose All Items" field under Settings - Default values.
From the snapshot of the notes 493404 above:
1. I don't have a release strategy for the scheduling agreement. Have checked via ME33L
2. I didn't implement any confirmation control in the scheduling agreement. Have checked via ME33L
3. I've a delivery schedule line up to the posting date. In my scenario, schedule line date = GR posting date
Therefore, I'm still truly puzzle with the system behavior. Any further help will be most appreciated.
Thanks.

I Cat - LPN is relevant for
Business Item
Sch line allow
Wgt/Vol relevant
Credit active
determine cost
and Incompletion Proced. 22     Sched.Agreement Item
where as
I Cat - LZN is relevant for
Business Item
Sch line allow
Item rel for Delv
Wgt/Vol relevant
determine cost
and Incompletion Proced. 34     SchedAgrItm w.DlvScd
For your error check the Item category determination for your desired I cat
ie, Sales Doc + I Cat Grp + Usage (if any) + Higher I Cat (if any) = Default I Cat, Manual I Cat.

Scheduling Agreemnet process

Can any one let me know the Sales Scheduling Agreement process.
Thanks,
Narsimha Reddy

Hi Narsimha,
Scheduling agreements are outline agreements that the business has with a customer. They contain delivery dates and quantities to be delivered. These dates are then entered as schedule lines in the delivery schedule of the agreement. The scheduling agreement is processed by delivering the schedule lines as they become due.
To configure scheduling agreements, proceed to IMG, Sales and distribution, Sales, Sales documents, Scheduling agreements with delivery schedules, define schedule line types.
Schedule line types are not schedule line categories. Schedule line types are used for information purposes only. Should you need to create one, follow the standard process of copying and
changing a SAP standard. We will be focusing on just-in time (JIT) delivery scheduling. Proceed
to IMG . . . Maintain planning delivery sched. Instruct./splitting rules. The planning delivery schedule is an internal delivery schedule used to plan requirements more efficiently. It is subdivided into three sections:
The standard sales document type for scheduling agreements is LZ. This LZ sales document type
is configured in the same process as all other sales document headers. Note that this sales document type has the following changes to the standard order sales document. The BL
document type must have E as the SD document category, indicating a scheduling agreement. It too has a different screen sequence group using the standard LL.
The pricing procedure can be the same as that of the standard sales orders; thus, you can leave the document pricing procedure indicator or set it as the same as for standard sales orders. The transaction group must be three, indicating this sales document transaction is a scheduling agreement.
Proceed with creating the scheduling agreement by going to Logistics, Sales and distribution,
Sales, Outline agreement, Scheduling agreement, Create, and then enter the order type, such as LZ. Enter the relevant data, such as the customer and material numbers, as well as the order quantities for the materials

How to block large number of scheduling agreements?

How to block large number of scheduling agreements (Purchasing doc type 'LPA') ?

Hi
You can use T.code MASS and choose scheduling agreement and you see field LOEKZ there (deletion indicator) You can mark it for deletion and it can be undelete if you want in future.
If you want to block it with source list, you need to do LSMW or BDC for ME01 and for your agreement block it in a validity period for a plant

MRP, Backorder, Cross / Inter Company, Schedule agreements

I am implementing Automotive Best Practices - OEM. ECC 6 Germany version.
My confusion comes when I have a look at some of the scenarios as
they all ask for PP and we are not implementing it.
One of these scenarios is A62 Sales Order with cross company
process. According to this process we have a delivery / sales
plant and a production plant. The creation of the customer SO
triggers the entire schedulling agreement process between the 2
plants. The sale splant runs MRP creating the demand. A schedule
agreement is creating the demand on the produciton plant.
The produciton plant then does whatever needs to do - mrp run,
backflush, etc - and "despatches" the stock to the delivery
plant. The delivery plant receives the stock and an intercompany
billing process occurrs.
After this ONLY will the stocks be available to be picked for the
customer.
Now my issue is if there is no production plant how will we amend
this scenario?
Will we still have a fictitious production plant with manual GR
or upload of stocks??

Hi Kookie,
when sales order comes to Plant A , create SO which will create scheduling agreements between two plants.
Other plant B will get PR if not PP module and Receive the Goods and transfer to Plant A
Thanks

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.

Pramod

Third party order processing with Scheduling agreements

Gurus,
I have a situation here, i am working with a automobile industry and customer sends us EDI 830's (FSD and JIT schedules). we are using scheduling agreements (Doc type - LZ) to process those schedules. I have couple of parts that we dont manufacture and we ask our vendors to ship it direct to customer. i am trying to set up a third party order processing for this sceanario but system is giving me message that i cant use scheduling agreements. i tested with sales order and it worked fine with that. Is there any way to figure out solution with scheduling agreements. Any help will be appriciated.
Aman

Hi Aman,
Scheduling agreements with delivery schedules are not supporte in third-party order processing.

Unnecessary Purchasing Processing Time in scheduling agreement

According to its business logic, the scheduling agreement is a document that has already been released by purchasing department, and its scheduling lines, that have been created by MRP are valid for goods receipt without any need for additional purchasing processing time. However, MRP scheduling incorrectly takes purchasing processing time into account (as defined in the IMG in plant parameters for external procurement - TCODE OPPQ) when calculating planned availability date. Please advise how to correct this issue.
Best Regards,
Itzik Eshed

This can be customized in
SAP Customizing Implementation Guide
-> Production
--> Material Requirements Planning
---> Planning
> Procurement Proposals
> Define External Procurement
Here you can select the indicator "Scheduling according to purchasing info record or agreement" either at plant or MRP group level.
