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 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 SA Releases (Forecast or JIT Delivery Schedules.
