Scheduling agreement without usage in MRP / MD04

Hello,
i want to use a scheduling agreement which isn't relevant for MRP. I use the standard agreement type LPA (Scheduling Agreement). The storage location for this process is marked as u201Cstock excluded from MRPu201D and the Source list record is also not relevant to MRP. Although I set these parameters, the schedules appear in MD04.
Is there any possibility like the requirement class in SD? In SD I can set the parameter "Transfer of requirements".
Regards
Andreas

It wont be possible to exclude seperate document type from MRP.
Excluding a Sloc wont work. MD04 list will show the Scheduling Agreement.
You can use a Custom 'Z' Logic to supress the Scheduling agreement from MD04. the program can be written in ABAP Code.

Scheduling Agreements without MRP

Hi !
I have a depot scenario wherein the organization doesnt have MRP runs configured.
Can we by any way configure Scheduling Agreements for customers, the basic purpose of which will be automatic creation or otherwise proposal of creation of deliveries on the required delivery dates, based on the available stock of materials?
Thanks and regards,
Shamik.

This is correct !

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.

Scheduling agreement MRP run

Hi All,
We use Scheduling agreements for purchasing spare parts. The nightly MRP run checks the warehouse requirements and creates delivery schedule line to scheduling agreement.
Now the MRP run creates unnecessary delivery schedule lines to scheduling agreement if the earlier created delivery schedule line's delivery date has been changed manually.
Today the MRP run finds requirement for article XYZ and creates the delivery schedule line, where delivery date is 2.9.2008 (determined from articles basic data).
The Vendor confirms the delivery date as 3.10.2008 and the purchaser changes manually (transaction ME38) the delivery date to delivery schedule line accordingly and prints the created message.
The next MRP run creates new delivery schedule line, where delivery date is again 2.9.2008.
After that there are two open delivery schedule lines for article XYZ with delivery dates 3.10.2008 and 2.9.2008.
Why the MRP run does not notice the existing delivery schedule line with the new delivery date 3.10.2008?

MRP - Scheduling agreement.

Hi all,
How to do a Scheduling Agreement w.r.t MRP?
Thanks
Vineeth.

Hi Vineeth,
Scheduling agreement is not done from MRP but in procurement sub module by strategic Purchasing Department. It is done in ME31L.
When a scheduling agreement is setup and if you assign MRP relevancy indicator 2 automatic delivery schedules, in source list for a material at the plant level and assign that scheduling agment in it, when MRP is executed, SAP will be able to create automatic delivery schedules for that material (referencing that schedling agreement that is assigned in the s/list).
Hope, it helps!

Scheduling agreement, unnecessary delivery schedule lines

Hello
We use Scheduling agreements for purchasing spare parts. The MRP run checks the warehouse requirements and creates delivery schedule line to scheduling agreement.
Now the MRP run creates unnecessary delivery schedule lines to scheduling agreement if the earlier created delivery schedule line's delivery date has been changed manually.
For example,
Today the MRP run finds requirement for one article and creates the delivery schedule line, where delivery date is 2.9.2008 (determined from articles basic data).
The Vendor confirms the delivery date as 3.10.2008 and the purchaser changes manually (transaction ME38) the delivery date to delivery schedule line accordingly and prints the created message.
The next MRP run creates new delivery schedule line, where delivery date is again 2.9.2008.
now there are two open delivery schedule lines for this article with delivery dates 3.10.2008 and 2.9.2008.
Why the MRP run does not notice the existing delivery schedule line with the new delivery date 3.10.2008?
we have changed delivery dates manually several years and this has never happened before.
could you please help me to resolve this.
Thanks in advance,
Srikanth

In addition to the above post,
as you changed the date manually from 2nd to 3rd....
so there are was no report for 2nd generated ulitmately...and if generated it was changed...right...
so when you again run the mrp...the system will generate one more pr for the same article....
this ultimately happens because of the set del dates in the MMR as i told above..
Hope it helps..

Schedule Lines generated for expired Scheduling agreements

Hi All,
We are facing problems in Scheduling agreements.
Schedule lines are getting generated for those agreements whose validity has expired(i.e Validity in Past).
Is there any check to restrict those Scheduling Agreements??
Please Help.
Regards,
Ritesh.

from OSS note 914607 - FAQ: Validity and status of scheduling agreements
1. Question: When I process scheduling agreements without delivery schedules, I have the option to specify the validity of the scheduling agreement: "Valid" and "Valid to". What role does the validity play when the scheduling agreement is processed?
Response: In the case of scheduling agreements without delivery schedules, the system checks the validity of the scheduling agreement if you create a new schedule line or change an existing schedule line. If the schedule line date is outside the validity interval, a warning message is issued. You can then decide whether or not to create the schedule line or whether to adjust the validity of the scheduling agreement. No error message is issued.
2. Question: What role does the validity play in the case of scheduling agreements with delivery schedules?
Response: The function is similar to scheduling agreements without delivery schedules. The only difference is that the entry of the validity is optional (unlike scheduling agreements without releases) and this is not checked by the system. If the validity is missing, the system does note issue a warning message. If you specify the validity, the system behaves in the same way as for scheduling agreements without releases.

Scheduling agreement - free of charge item

Hi Community,
how can I purchase a "free of charge" item via a scheduling agreement?
In a purchase order the "free of charge" indicator is available, but I can't find anything similar for SAs.
Currently I've set the price field as display only in a custom screen layout, but I am pretty sure this is not the proper way to do it and I get a warning every time I create an SA.
Thanks,
C

You can create intracompany scheduling agreement without price, you have to use document type "LU". Before using document type "LU", you have to make sure below configuration is in place.
In the "Set up Stock Transport Scheduling Agreement" nodes, you have configured following IMG nodes
"Assign Delivery Type and Checking Rule"--- In this IMG node assign assign delivery type for document type "LU"
"Assign document type"--- In this IMG node assign document type "LU" between supplying & receiving plant.
I have done this with one client and it is working fine.

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.

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.

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).

*MRP unable to create Delivery Schedule Lines in MM Scheduling Agreement*

Hi Experts,
I need your help...
The issue is, in-spit of maintaining Source List with an u201CScheduling Agreement with item No.u201D & u201CSource List Usage in MRPu201D as 2 (Record relevant to MRP. Sched. lines generated automatically), MRP run does not generate Schedule Lines, instead PRs are created.
Please help me to understand such behavior and fix the issue as the requirement is to generate Schedule Lines only.
Thanks,
Pratap

Hello
Please check
1) Source List maintained properly in terms of Material # ; plant # ; proper POrg ; Schd Agr # and line item# ; proper validity date & MRP relevant indicator
2) Please also check Quata arrangement if you are using. whether % is maintained correctly against the vendor
3) MD03 , Delivery schedules- should be 3
4) check your planning horizon whether it is NETCH or not
5) check material master -MRP2 view, Procurement type is F- external procurement, schedule margin key if you are using
if everything above is set, then I feel it should work
Also please verify-
lot size, safety stock and the corresponding prod volume for MRP input v/s the stock available in MMBE
example.
MD04, we can see the open del lines.
if SS = 50 , prod volume is 150
1) if MMBE shows 200 then it wont generate any schedule.
2) if MMBE is 180 and your lotsize is 40, then after MD03, you will have a schedule line of 40 (provided if everything is set properly)
Please ensure there are NO open delivery lines . if you find such in MD04, then please close open delivery lines
in calculation of MRP, system considers such open delivery lines are going to receive and no additional schedule line generated even after MRP run
thanks
