Creating a Standard Delivery Schedule for an SA Item

Prerequisites

To create delivery schedule lines for a scheduling agreement item, you need the following information:

The scheduling agreement number and the number of the item to be scheduled
A list of the delivery dates, times, and quantities you have negotiated with the vendor

Procedure

Choose Outline agreement ® Scheduling agreement ® Delivery schedule ® Maintain.

The initial screen for the creation of delivery schedules under scheduling agreements appears.

Enter the document number of the scheduling agreement and press ENTER.

The item overview screen for the scheduling agreement appears.

Select the item you wish to schedule. Then choose Item ® Delivery schedule.

Enter the following for each schedule line:

- Date category (Month, Week, or Day) and the corresponding date

- Delivery time-spot (if applicable)

- Quantity to be delivered (the unit of measure is the same as in the scheduling agreement)

Referencing a purchase requisition: Choose Sch. agmt. schedule ® Create w. reference ® To purchase req. to adopt the delivery data from an existing requisition.

Save the delivery schedule.

Result

The scheduling agreement delivery schedule is created in the SAP System. In order that the information in the delivery schedule can be transmitted to the vendor, the system generates a message for the schedule.

Note

If you are using scheduling agreements without release documentation (document type LP), the message is generated directly.

If you are using scheduling agreements with release documentation (document type LPA), you must explicitly generate SA releases.

For more information, refer to the section Releases Against Scheduling Agreements (FRC or JIT).

How to transmit the message to the vendor is described in the section Outputting Messages.
