Stock Transport Scheduling Agreement 
Stock Transport Scheduling Agreement
Purpose
A scheduling agreement has been created for material R-1310 with plant 1000 as the supplier. Manually created delivery schedule lines are displayed. To illustrate the effects of these receipts, you will compare the stock/requirements list during the process of recording the goods receipts with the scheduling agreement.
The scheduling agreement has already been created. It is advisable to use this scheduling agreement for demo purposes in order to avoid a proliferation of data in the system. If existing schedule lines no longer suffice, you can simply create new ones. The scheduling agreement (SA) is valid until 31.12.2000. You can, of course, extend it if you wish. In this case, the schedule lines were created manually. The IDES process for the stock transport order illustrates how scheduling agreement schedule lines can be created automatically through the requirements planning (MRP) process.
In the following procedure, it is to be assumed that a strategic (long-term) purchasing operation is initiated by the materials planner, involving the setting up of a vendor scheduling agreement for a certain material. Up until now, the material has been procured on the basis of discrete purchase orders. The materials planner gives instructions to Purchasing with regard to the material and the validity period of the new long-term purchase agreement.
