Pick-up Sheet 

Definition

External document sent from the customer to the component supplier and forwarding agent with information about future deliveries. The pick-up sheet is used as a basis for creating the delivery order in the SAP System.

Use

The pick-up sheet is used in a similar way to a just-in-time (JIT) delivery schedule. There are, however, several important differences:

·        Pick-up sheets can contain more than one material from one or several scheduling agreements.

·        Unlike the JIT delivery schedule, which is continually updated, the quantities and dates in the pick-up sheet are fixed. This means that the pick-up sheet must be delivered in full before it can be set to complete.

·        The pick-up sheet is the central source of information for the customer, component supplier, and forwarding agent. It is the sole document that accompanies materials - making shipping documents, delivery notes, and goods issue slips unnecessary.

·        JIT delivery schedules are transmitted daily. Pick-up sheets are transmitted weekly, up to three weeks before the required delivery.
