Closing of scheduling agreement with open quantity

In our scenario
When ever we receive the sales order,
we will convert it into scheduling agreement (VA31),
then converting them into planned orders through (MD02) & (MD16),
these are converted to PRu2019s and the procurement process continues and the material is taken into production through quality and after the processing of these materials to end products(FG).
These are taken into finished goods and we will create sales order (VA01) with reference to the scheduling agreement.
And with reference to the VA01 we make out bound delivery (VL01N) and
with reference to sch. Agreement we make billing document VF01 and create excise invoice for factory sale and send the goods to the customer
Now the problem is
When we receive sale order of 30,000 units and we will make sch. Agreement for 30,000 units.
But after planning, procurement and production we receive the FG of 29,500 only(as per yield 98%) into UR in stores.
Now we will supply the FG to customer through billing.
And now we will go to MD04 and check for the requirements the sale order sch. Agreement is still open and when we want to close that sch. Agreement to remove it from the requirements.
But the system is not allowing us to delete the sch. Agreement and giving a message no.V1748, which you cannot mark, deletion flag of xxxxx sch. Agreement.
We can only close it when we go back to initial sale order and change the quantity to 29,500 and coming back to sch agreement and changing the quantity to 29,500 and then only it is allowing us to mark delete.
Initially it is allowed but now it not allowing me to close without the reverse setting.
Kindly help me in this issue

Schedule line item with no confirmed quantity

I encountered that the schedule line item has no confirmed quantity. What are the possible reasons these happened?
Thanks.

Hi,
The 1st reason could be no stock ( can check using T.code .MMBE).
2nd reason could be not relavent for avaliability check ( check in VOV6 select the relavent scheduline category and check in transaction flow tab field availability if checked)
3rd reason could be either the customer is blocked for his credit.
Kindly Reward points if useful.

Static Credit Checks - Open orders - Confirmed quantity vs total quantity

We are using static credit checks. Credit currently only sees open orders with a confirmed quanitity.
Customer orders 10 items we have 5 in stock. Credit check runs, credit is evaluated basd on the confirmed open quanitity of 5. The order gets a credit block. Credit rep releases the order.
A few days later the balance of the order arrives in the warehouse. The remaining 5 are confirmed on the order. Since the confirmed quantity has been increased and subsequently the confirmed open value, the order goes back to credit.
We frequently encounter this situatuion and are looking for ways to reduce the number of credit round trips.
If we wanted to base the credit check on the total quantity / order value, as opposed to the confirmed quantity / value what do we need to change.
Insights are appreciated.

Hi cann
As you are going with static credit checks, system will check the order and if it exceeds it will throw an message (error , warning )
Now again , if you create another sales order , that value will not be taken into consideration , system again will check for the credit limit amount
For example :
credit limit - 10000
sales orders - 1010, 1011
1010 sales order value - 11000
1011 sales order value - 10500
Now when you create a sales order system will check the credit limit 10000. and once you save it and create another sales order (1011), again system will check for the same credit limit 10000.
The credit limit gets reset once the order is saved ,in static check
Now any open quantities are there means and when it gets confirmed then system will check for those open quantity also
To minimize all these use dynamic credit check

Is there any BAPI for scheduling agreement (VA31) ?

Hi All.
I need to creat scheduling agreement (T-code:VA31) using some data uploaded from EXCEL,but i can not find correct BAPI.
Someone tell me try the two below:
BAPI_AGREEMENT_MAINTAIN
BAPI_SALES_DEL_SCHEDULE_CREATE
But the two seem not effective, because they have no import parameters such as: SO type, sales organization, division, sold to party, valid from date,valid to date, material-number, quality etc.
These parameters are obligatory when creat scheduling agreement(t-code: VA31) manually.
My sap release is ECC6.0.
How can i do? if there is no bapi , i use BDC ?
MSN : [email protected]
Best Regards.
Jordy.

Hi,
Please try with the BAPI BAPI_SALES_DEL_SCHEDULE_CREATE.

Rounding quantity field in scheduling agreement not considered in JITK

Hello ALL,
I would like to consult to you a scenario I am facing when it comes to creating a scheduling agreement (VA31) and maintaining a Rounding Quantity (field ABLFZ) in it.
When using the standard LZ type scheduling agremeent, the Rounding quantity is considered when creating a delivery in VL10.
However, when using the LZJ type of scheduling agreement, the Rounding quantity is NOT considered when creating a delivery in JITK.
Can you please tell me what causes the case in LZJ scheduling agreement?
Thank you all in advance.

Hi,
This field is not available for Scheduling Agreement. It is only available for Purchase Order.
Even you will not get this in Field selection also.

Confirmation Control for Scheduling Agreement

Hello Experts,
I have got situation for subcontracting scheduling agreement where client doesn't need confirmation control. They want to perform GR against scheduling agreement after creating delivery schedule without extra activity(Confirmation).
Process flow is:
1. Create work order(generates purchase requisition for subcontracting activity)(CO01)
2. Create delivery schedule against purchase requisition for scheduling agreement(ME38)
3. Create delivery to supplier through ME2O
4. Confirm Goods receipt(ME38)
5. Goods receipt(MIGO)
I am trying to avoid step 4.
Standard scheduling agreement setup automaticially fetches confirmation control key 0004. If I am disabling it manually, and not performing step 4, system throws message "no GR relevant item in PO"
Can somebody suggest settings to achieve my scenarion
Thanks and Regards
Gyanesh

Hello PavanKumar,
The inbound delivery is one type of confirmation you are receiving from the vendor so I dont think you will be able to create the inbound delivery without confirmation control key.
Hope this helps.

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.

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:

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?

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

Dates and quantities copied from Scheduling Agreement to Delivery Order

Hi everybody,
we're experiencing a problem with copying control for dates/quantities between Scheduling Agreement and Delivery Order.
If we define a Forecast Delivery Schedule with more lines/dates into a Scheduling agreement, when I create a Delivery Order with reference to a specific date the system always copies the first forecast delivery schedule date, disregardful the date specified in the selection criteria for delivery creation and with the fact that this could have already been carried out.
Here's an example:
Forecast Delivery Schedule into Scheduling agreement:
(Date) 12.03.07   (Quantity) 10 TO
(Date) 13.03.07   (Quantity) 12 TO
(Date) 14.03.07   (Quantity) 15 TO
When delivery has to be created with reference to Scheduling Agreement, the system doesn't about the date specified in selection parameters (e.g. 14.03.07) and copies the quantity of the first forecast delivery schedule line (10 TO).
Does anybody knows how to maintain Copying Control for dates and quantities between Scheduling agreement to Delivery Order?
Thank you!
Luca

Dear Pattanaik,
check data transfer from copy controls.for this T-code is VTLA
here select your doc type and select details and check also item.check inside both types data trasfer wich is assigned change from this item to header.your problem may ve coming from here.

Inbound Delivery For Scheduling Agreement Lines using LSMW

Hi,
We need to create inbound deliveries for scheduling agreements. Our scheduling Agreements are too big with 200 lines. But the vendor used to send only few discrete lines in his ASN. Is it possible to create inbound deliveries for the Scheduling agreement using LSMW? Is there any standard BAPI or IDOC available to handle this in LSMW? Has anyone done this before?
Our requirement is as follows.
1. Create Inbound Delivery for few lines of the Scheduling Agreement
2. The delivery quantity of the inbound delivery will be a partial quantity of the Scheduling Agreement
3. Materials are batch managed and the batch number for each inbound delivery item need to be captured.
4. Vendor's ASN Number and its item number need to be captured at inbound delivery header and item level respectively.
Note: Delivery Schedule of the Scheduling Agreement is not used in the above scenario.
If you have any input, it will be really appreciated.
Regards,
SP0526

Hi,
You can give your scheduling agreement number in the field Purchase Order.
If you want select from the list, you can click on PO tree (just under create inbound delivery). There selet document category as "L". You will get the scheduling agreement list.
