Set Up Stock Transport Scheduling Agreement (SAP Library

Set Up Stock Transport Scheduling Agreement

In this step, you enter the shipping-specific data for stock transfer processing.

You maintain the shipping data for:

Plants

Document types (assign delivery type/checking rule)

Plants

Here you maintain the customer number of the receiving plant. This customer number is used in SD shipping processing to identify the goods recipient if it has been specified in Customizing that a stock transfer is to be effected with an SD delivery.

You can also make the following settings for the supplying plant:

Sales organization

Distribution channel

Division

The system uses this data to determine the shipping data of the material to be transferred, e.g. the shipping point.
You also define for the supplying plant the language in which the PO texts are to be maintained.

Document types (Assign delivery type/checking rule)

Under 'Assign delivery type/checking rule' you specify whether an SD delivery is to be created in the case of a scheduling agreement with a certain supplying plant in connection with a certain document type and, if so, with which delivery type. The delivery type in Sales and Distribution (SD) determines how a delivery is processed.
In the standard system, delivery type 'NL' is used for a stock transfer without a billing document. Delivery type 'NLCC' is used for a stock transfer with a billing document.

Note
For more information, please refer to Customizing for Sales and Distribution.

Set up availability check for materials to be transferred

For materials that are to be transferred, you can have the system check whether the requested quantity is available in the supplying plant.

Activities

You must perform the following steps:

Create checking rule
Here you can define new checking rules.

Specify checking rule
Here you specify which requirements/stocks are to be checked before the stock transfer is carried out.

Assign checking rule
Here you specify for which document type and supplying plant which checking rule is to be active.

Define purchasing document type
Here you define which document type is to be used for a certain combination of supplying plant and receiving plant.

If the supplying and receiving plant belong to the same company code, choose the document type 'LU' or a comparable document type of your own. A stock transfer without a billing document is carried out.

Note

If you are working with your own document types for scheduling agreements, you should ensure that a 'T' is entered in the 'Control' field.

If the supplying and receiving plants belong to different company codes, choose document type 'LP' or a comparable document type. A stock transfer with a delivery and a billing document will be carried out.

Note

If you work with your own document types for scheduling agreements, you should ensure that the 'Control' field is empty for the relevant document type.

If the end user chooses a different document type to the one specified in Customizing, her or she receives a warning message. This message can be defined as an error message on a user-specific basis.

Depending on the supplying and receivng plants, you can also specify whether the stock transfer is to be carried out according to the one-step procedure. In this case the goods receipt in the receiving plant is posted simultaneously with the goods issue in the supplying plant.
