Scheduling Agreements for Make-to-Order Production 

Use

Material requirements planning can also generate scheduling agreements for make-to-order production.

This process is useful if a long-term supply relationship exists with a particular customer and if a finished product or a component, which is regularly procured externally from a particular vendor, is delivered to this customer.

This process can also be used for individual project planning.

Prerequisites

You can maintain the scheduling agreement in the Purchasing task level menu: Outline agreement ® Scheduling agreement ® Create or Change. You can maintain the source list in the Purchasing task level menu by choosing, Master data ® Source list ® Maintain.
