Requirement Tracking Number. Number that facilitates the monitoring of the procurement of required materials or services. This number can relate to a requisition note (or requirement notice/slip) that was not generated in the system. The requirement tracking number from the purchase requisition is copied to the purchasing documents (for example: RFQ or purchase order) created with reference to a purchase requisition.The requirement tracking number thus enables you to group together the purchasing documents that exist for a certain material requirement. Maximum length: 10.

Agreed Cumulative Quantity. Cumulative quantity of all delivery schedule lines relating to a scheduling agreement item, which has been agreed between Purchasing and the supplier and is valid as of a certain date as the basis for the further ongoing computation of the cumulative quantities. If, in the case of procurement by means of scheduling agreements, differences should arise between the cumulative quantities recorded by your supplier and those determined by the SAP system, you can reconcile the figures with the supplier.As of the reconciliation date, Purchasing and the supplier then both work on the basis of the same, agreed figures.If no reconciliation date has been entered and an agreed cumulative quantity has been maintained, the latter serves as a starting value. This may be useful, for example, if you are creating a new scheduling agreement and wish to start with the cumulative quantity of a previous scheduling agreement with the supplier.Calculation:Starting value = cumulative received quantity + agreed cumulative quantityIf a reconciliation date has been entered and an agreed cumulative quantity maintained, the latter quantity enables you to represent the situation at the change of the fiscal year.Calculation:Cumulative scheduled quantity = cumulative received quantity - agreed cumulative quantity.

Reconciliation Date for Agreed Cumulative Quantity. Date as of which the cumulative delivered quantity agreed with the supplier is valid. If no reconciliation date has been entered and an agreed cumulative quantity has been maintained, the latter quantity serves as a starting value.This may be useful, for example, if you are creating a new scheduling agreement and wish to start with the cumulative quantity of a previous scheduling agreement with the supplier.If a reconciliation date has been entered and an agreed cumulative quantity maintained, the latter quantity is a means of representing the situation at the change of the fiscal year. You can thus reset the cumulative scheduled quantity to 0 after the change of the year.

I I! !SA release creation date Schedule line dateFirm zone: (go-ahead for production)If the date of a schedule line lies within the firm zone, the supplier has the go-ahead to produce the relevant quantity with the assurance that the orderer will bear any and all material and production costs associated with the scheduled quantity in the event of subsequent cancellation by the latter.Trade-off zone: (go-ahead for procurement of input materials)If the date of a schedule line lies within the trade-off zone, the supplier has the go-ahead to purchase any input materials necessary to produce the scheduled quantity. The orderer will recompense him in full for such outlay (but not for any other production costs) in the event that he should subsequently cancel the scheduled quantity.Schedule lines that lie beyond the firm and trade-off zones fall within the planning zone (forecast zone) and are for rough guidance only, being without any commitment on the part of the orderer.In the "Firm zone" field, enter the number of calendar days (calculated from the SA release creation date) after which the firm zone ends and the trade-off zone begins.In the "Trade-off zone" field, enter the number of calendar days (calculated from the SA release creation date) after which the trade-off zone ends.If the firm zone ends in one month, enter 30 in the "Firm zone" field.If the trade-off zone ends one month after the firm zone, enter 60 in the "Trade-off zone" field.In the standard system, the end date for production go-ahead is calculated at the time of SA release creation from the firm zone. The end date for material go-ahead is calculated from the trade-off zone. These dates are displayed in the header of the relevant scheduling agreement release.When an SA release is transmitted to the supplier via IDoc, the end dates for production and material go-ahead are determined from the firm and trade-off zones and the SA release creation date. These dates are shown in the sales scheduling agreement in the SA release header in the relevant fields (End of Production Go-Ahead, End of Material Go-Ahead).

Release Creation Profile. Controls: The creation periodicity of the releases (scheduling agreement delivery schedules), i.e. the period in which releases against a scheduling agreement are created and transmitted to the supplier, andThe way in which the quantities transmitted to the supplier are aggregated (starting from the current creation date of the release)Example:The creation periodicity for a scheduling agreement for which delivery schedule lines have been maintained over two years provides that releases are created weekly from 1.1. to 12.31 of the first year.The release quantities are to be aggregated as follows:For a period of 10 days starting from the current date of release creation, no aggregation; from the tenth to the thirtieth day, on a daily basis; and from the thirtieth day to the sixtieth day, on a monthly basis. Maximum length: 4.

Firm Zone (Go-Ahead for Production). One of two periods specifying the degree to which the delivery schedule lines of a scheduling agreement release are classified as firm or semi-firm. !

The orderer will recompense him in full for such outlay (but not for any other production costs) in the event that he should subsequently cancel the scheduled quantity.Schedule lines that lie beyond the firm and trade-off zones fall within the planning zone (forecast zone) and are for rough guidance only, being without any commitment on the part of the orderer.In the "Firm zone" field, enter the number of calendar days (calculated from the SA release creation date) after which the firm zone ends and the trade-off zone begins.In the "Trade-off zone" field, enter the number of calendar days (calculated from the SA release creation date) after which the trade-off zone ends.If the firm zone ends in one month, enter 30 in the "Firm zone" field.If the trade-off zone ends one month after the firm zone, enter 60 in the "Trade-off zone" field.In the standard system, the end date for production go-ahead is calculated at the time of SA release creation from the firm zone. The end date for material go-ahead is calculated from the trade-off zone. These dates are displayed in the header of the relevant scheduling agreement release.When an SA release is transmitted to the supplier via IDoc, the end dates for production and material go-ahead are determined from the firm and trade-off zones and the SA release creation date. These dates are shown in the sales scheduling agreement in the SA release header in the relevant fields (End of Production Go-Ahead, End of Material Go-Ahead).
