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 R/3 System.

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.
