To configure schedule line types for scheduling agreements, choose Sales ® Sales Documents ® Scheduling Agreements with Delivery Schedules ® Define schedule line types in Customizing for Sales and Distribution.

The schedule line type in the delivery schedule specifies, for example, whether an item is a backlog item, or one which is required immediately.

The R/3 System contains the following schedule line types for component suppliers:

• Fixed date
• Backlog
• Immediate requirement
• Forecast delivery schedule
• Just-in-time (JIT) delivery schedule

The schedule line type is for information purposes only and does not in any way influence processing.
