Forecast Delivery Schedule 

Purpose

For an SD scheduling agreement, a customer sends a forecast delivery schedule containing requests for individual schedule lines. On the SD side, a delivery can be created automatically from this.

Prerequisites

A scheduling agreement exists for both MM and SD. Read the corresponding sub-scenarios for more details.

Process flow

Outbound

On the MM side, create the forecast delivery schedule or the JIT delivery schedule and send the schedule to the vendor via EDI using Message Control.

Inbound

On the SD side, the forecast delivery schedule is posted automatically. If the forecast delivery schedule is marked as being relevant for materials planning, the released schedule lines are effective for materials planning. In the same way, the forecast delivery schedule can also be marked as being relevant for shipping.
