Features

Display Current Requested Quantities and Current Confirmation

In the Product view: Periodic or Product view: Single Elements you can view the current requested quantities (SD SA Rel./<...>/Requst), and the current confirmed quantities (SD SA Rel./<...>Conf.).

In the Product View: Single Elementsyou can go to a detailed view for the due delivery schedule or the confirmation by double clicking on the category SD SA Rel. If you expand the left screen area you see the open quantities of the due delivery schedule and also the original quantities (that is the quantities transmitted by the customer).

Display Delivery Schedules and Confirmations

You can view existing operative delivery schedules, forecast/planning delivery schedules, confirmations and the current due delivery schedule for the sales scheduling agreements.

In the context menu for  Sales Scheduling Agreement Processing, choose Display Releases and Confirmations.

In the release and confirmation history you can see whether the date transmitted by the customer is the pickup date or the delivery date.

(See Sales Scheduling Agreement Release with Pickup Date or Delivery Date).

Check Admissibility

You can check the admissibility of the requested quantities, that is, the due delivery schedule.

In the context menu of  Sales SA Processing, choose Check Admissibility or choose Interactive Planning ® Heuristics.

See also Admissibility Check

Check Feasibility

In the context menu of  Sales SA Processing, choose Check Feasibility or choose Interactive Planning ® Heuristics.

See also Feasibility Check

Check variable

You can carry out various checks for due delivery schedules and confirmations.

The chosen heuristic is carried out for all selected planning objects (for example, orders, products). You can also carry out a different heuristic for the admissibility or feasibility check than the one that is defined in the control profile.

Choose  Check Variable and select the heuristic you want to use.

These checks must be assigned as admissible heuristics in Customizing under Maintain Heuristic Profile. You must also assign this heuristic profile in the application, in the  User Profile.

Generate Confirmation

You can manually confirm the due delivery schedule, in other words, enter the confirmed quantity and save.

See also Confirmations

Copy requested quantities to the confirmation

You can copy your customer’s requested quantities without changes into the confirmation.

To copy the requested quantities/dates of the due delivery schedule into the confirmation, select the due delivery schedules lines (SD SA Rel./<...>/Request) and choose . If necessary you can then change the copied quantities again before saving.

For example, you can copy only requested quantities from a certain date onwards.

Select the due delivery schedule lines (SD SA Rel./<...>/Requst) and the corresponding date column.

Then hold down the CTRL key and choose  to copy the quantities/dates in the due delivery schedule from the chosen date into the confirmation.

Change Current Status

The planner can manually change the current status of the due delivery schedule/the sales scheduling agreement item; for example from Confirmation deviates to Confirmation matches.

Select the due delivery schedule lines (SD SA Rel./<...>/Requst) and choose  (Processing of SD Scheduling Ag.), then Set Status.

Interactive Backorder Processing

In interactive backorder processing, you can redistribute confirmed quantities across selected demands.

You can access backorder processing either by selecting a product or from a worklist.

To access backorder processing:

·        Choose the ATP tab page in the Product View.

·        In the Product Planning Table, choose the Backorder Processingchart.

For more information on backorder processing, see the SAP Library for the Global Available-to-Promise Check (Global ATP) under Backorder Processing.

 

Select order or product in the sales scheduling agreement view

In a chart, you can select either an order or a product so that this order or product is then highlighted in all charts that are visible and is displayed at the top of each chart.

To do this choose  (Select Order/Product) in the current chart. You can select an order by double clicking it. The order is deselected as soon as you carry out another action.

For example, if you select an order in the Scheduling Agreements (SD) chart then the schedule lines relating to this order are highlighted in the Product View: Periodic and displayed at the top of the visible charts.
