Scheduling Agreements Inquiry

Hi Experts!
I was wondering if anyone could explain to me exactly what Scheduling Agreements are as far as processes, and how they should and should NOT be used (like the dos and don'ts). Thank you for your time!

Hello Will,
A scheduling agreement is an outline purchase agreement against which materials or services are procured on predefined dates over a certain period.
The total quantity of a material to be delivered that is specified in an item of a scheduling agreement can be broken down into a series of partial quantities with individual delivery dates, which are set out in the lines of a delivery schedule.
You issue scheduling agreement releases to your vendor to inform him of your forthcoming requirements as at a certain date.
Proces Activity
1. Create scheduling agreement - ME31L
2. Create stock transport scheduling agreement - ME37
3. Change scheduling agreement - ME32L
4. Display scheduling agreement - ME33L
5. Maintain scheduling agreement supplement - ME34L
6. Recalculate scheduling agreement prices - ME3R
The detail you may find from the following link.

Revision number in sales order and scheduling agreement

I want revision number in sales order as well as scheduling agreement. for this where we configure or
how will it come in VA01 as well as VA31.
Regards

Hi Amit,
Its not hard to find this info at help.sap.com
Sales Order
Definition: Request from a customer to a company to deliver a defined quantity of products or provide a service at a certain time. The sales area that accepts the inquiry is responsible for completing the agreement.
Scheduling Agreements
Purpose
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 following graphic shows the document flow for scheduling agreements.
Integration
You would use this component if you had outline agreements with the customer that contained future delivery quantities of materials that would be sent at certain times within a fixed time period.
If you work with scheduling agreements for the component supplier industry you also need to choose the "Electronic Data Interchange" (EDI) component.

How to measure performance of supplier when using scheduling agreement ?

Hello all,
My client has an absolute need to be able to measure the performance of its suppliers based on delivery dates and delivered quantities. That is to say he needs to be able to compare what dates and quantities were asked to what has been really delivered.
Most of the procurement processes used are based on scheduling agreements : schedule lines are generated by MRP and forecast is sent to supplier while firm requirements are sent through JIT calls.
It seems that when doing GR in MIGO, it is done against the outline agreement number, and not against the call. Therefore, we have no way to compare dates and quantity with what was expected (in the JIT call).
Do you know if SAP proposes a standard solution to this, and what could be a solution to this issue ?
Thanks for your help
E. Vallez

Hi,
My client faced the same problem and we ended up developing an own analysis in LIS. Since the GR is not linked to specific schedule line (SAP does some kind of apportioning, but it doesn't have to correlate to the correct match), one needs to do assumptions. Our assumption was the closest schedule line, i.e. each GR is related to the schedule line with the closest date. Then all GR the same day are totaled together before the quantity reliability is calculated, since the very same shipment can be reported through several GR transactions in SAP (one per pallet).
If anybody has info about what SAP has to offer in this question (or is developing), please tell us!

Order of delivery schedule line counter at schedule agreements from MRP run

Currently we are using schedule agreements for our long term external suppliers, but we are facing a problem with the order of new delivery schedule lines created during MRP run.
Because of master data settings like, lot size, rounding value, plan delivery time and planning time fence to set as firm new requirements, multiple schedule lines are created with no order for schedule line counter.
Does anyone is aware of a BADI, user exit or customizing control to have this schedule line counter in order?
Thank you

Source List a Mandatory for Scheduling Agreement, if you want to create automatic Scheduling line.
Plz use (2) in MRP RELEVENT tab in ME01 (Source List).
rest of the thing is ok, make sure a material master(MRP 2 VIEW) in that view you have to give a planed delivery days. it is must.
HOPE IT WILL WORK

Hi Experts,
i want to write a Report, with 2 parameters for the selection : Sold-to-party and Period
For this Sold-to-party/Period, I want to list all scheduling agreement + Forecast delivery schedule.
I already found the Function SD_VBEP_READ_WITH_VBELN to read all Forecast delivery schedule lines using Sales Doc.No. , but how can I select all Scheduling Agreement for the Period ?
Regards,
David

Solution:
by selecting data from table VEPVG (Delivery Due Index) and using function SD_VBEP_READ_WITH_VBELN for each SD Document.

Batch in scheduling agreement

Hi gurus,
we manage some material with batch.
when i create sheduling agreement or when I maintain delivery schedule, I cannot enter the value of batch,
In selection screen (for scheduoing agreement o delivery schedule) is not possible to set "display" to the field "batch".
So I suppose that the field batch is not available for scheduling agreement,
What do you think?
Marco

The functionality for batch field is not available in Scheduling Agreement.
The cause is that a scheduling agreement is for a longer period.
So it wasn't expected that the batch number is known when creating
the scheduling agreement. You can enter the batch number when
creating the goods receipt.

Change in scheduling agreement schedule lines .

Dear All ,
        We have activated release strategy for scheduling agreement .Previously while maintaining schedule lines it was not going for release .
         But now while maintaining schedule lines in ME38 it is going for release .I want to know what is the reason and I want to stop this .
         We have made some changes in Closed PO amendment ,like we have changed the release indicator value R -6- 10% to R - 6 -0% .
Like whenever we make change in price of a PO even a 1paise
it should go for release .
          The release strategy for SA and PO is same .

Hi,
Since you have changed the release indicator it is again going for release for any change.
Please change the release indicator to 2 from 6 so that you can change the schdeule lines or any modiifcation again release will not set
Please check the release indicator in P.O and SA

Subcontracting in scheduling agreement

Dear all,
while doing subcontracting scheduling agreement, how can we add the child components to the parent material.
in cs01 ,we maintained the bill of material for the parent material.in CS11 we are able to view it.
Regards,
velu

Hi,
If you have already maintained the BOM in CS01, you need not have to maintain the seperate BOM in Scheduling Agreement, because, the already existing BOM will get copied. The only thing you will have to do is that, define special procurement category as 30 (Sub-Contracting) in MRP2 view of the material master & then create the SchedulingAgreement with item category as L (Sub-Contracting).
Hope this clears.

Prashant

Error In scheduling agreement proccessing

Hi Friends
1. If I enter new schedule line in JIT Delivery tab of scheduling agreement and try to save it , it is throwing error that u201CDelivery go ahead was reducedu201D. Message no. V4042.
I went ahead and saved the scheduling agreement .
2. When I try to create delivery with reference to this scheduling agreement it is throwing error that u201Corder canu2019t be deliveredu201D Message no. VL461 and no schedule lines are due upto selection date .
Could you help me to correct it .
Jaya

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.

BOM in Scheduling agreement (Type LZ)

HI
I am using scheduling agreement (Type LZ) for maintaining my sales plan for a period of 4 months. (1st one month - daily & subsequent months as weekly requirements). Ii would create delivery and invoices for each supply.
Pricing previously was based on the finished product (basic price for product was available). SO there was no problem.
<u>New requirement:</u>
finished Product above - is made up of components. Now, price should be derived from components. For this I have enabled SD Bom for my finish product.
But the problem is when i use the Finish product code in scheduling agreement type LZ, the BOM doesn't explode (it explodes in other scheduling agreement types, say LP)
Clarification:
1. Is it possible to calculate price of the higher level material by summing up the components' price?, with out BOM explosion
2. Is BOM explosion possible in scheduling agreement with delivery schedule (LZ).
Note:
1. Necessary settings for item category & BOM master already in place.
2. BOM is exploding in sales order and other sheduling types, except doc type LZ.

If it is maintained as error message, it does not allow me to maintain delivery schedule more than target quantity of 100 EA. Also the overdelivery tolerance is maintained as 20 %, so it should allow me to maintain delivery schedule of 120 EA, but it does not allow me to maintain greater than target quantity of 100 EA. Please let me know your comments.

Printing of changed line item in scheduling agreement smart form.

Hi experts,
I am facing problem in printing of changed line item in schedule agreement.
can any body tell me how to find the line item has been changed through programming?what is the procedure to fetch the data for new line item.its
very urgent for me.
Please help me in this regard.
Priti Shrivastava

Hi
with the help of T180-TRTYP field you know if that doc has been changed or created.
If it is not equal to H it is changed. H means created.
pass the TCODE of Sched Agreement and check this field.
You can use the CDHDR and CDPOS table s to get the changed values of new item.
