Creating a Scheduling Agreement
Use
You can create a scheduling agreement as follows:
You enter all data on the scheduling agreement manually.
As reference document (the document you copy from), you can use:
You can also mix the two options. (In this case, you use one document as a reference and then change or supplement desired items as required.)
If you wish to set up a scheduling agreement not with one of your vendors but with one of your own plants, you should create a stock transport scheduling agreement (scheduling agreement for longer-distance stock transfers).
Prerequisites
Before you create a scheduling agreement manually, you need the following information:
Account assignment
For each item to be posted to an account, you need the account assignment category and the account assignment data (for example, the number of the cost center to be charged). (See also
Account Assignment.)MPN material number
If you wish to order a material with a manufacturer part number (MPN), you need the MPN material number. See also:

You must assign the scheduling agreement to a purchasing organization and a purchasing group. The release (delivery schedule) then contains the same purchasing organization as the corresponding scheduling agreement.
