Hi,

In MM it is using schduling agreement, if we issue the schduling agreement then you can give shcdule line against the item with different delivery dates.

Dear,

What is schedule line? it is in PO or migo or miro?

A Scheduling agreement - agreement for a material at plant level.

For single material - single Schedule line. If for the same single material, multiple line items exits then we enter each one in seperate line these called scheduling lines.

For Example see below example:

T-code:ME01

Enter Mat.code & Plant.

In the next screen pl.do the following:

Valid from - commencement date of the SA

Valid to - End date of the SA

Vendor - Vendor on whom the SA is released

POrg - Your purchase organisation

PPL - Leave it blank(This is only for interplant)

OUn - Ordering unit

Agreement - SA number

Item - 1

MRP - 2 - Record relevant to MRP, Schedule line generated automatically

If you are having several items in one SA,you have to do the above repeatedly by giving the 'Item'1,2,3 etc.in each line.

Then run MRP.You will have the sch.lines and you can receive the materials without any problem.

If you have already done the MRP, pl.maintain the sch.lines in ME38 by selecting each items.

Difference between SD and MM schedule line

In SD A schedule agreement contains details of a delivery schedule but a contract just contains quantity and price information and no details of specific delivery dates.

What's the difference between schedulling agreement with normal order?

What's the condition for us to choose schedule line or order?

Both of them contains schedule line, price, quantity.

There are a couple major differences:

(1) - Schedule agreements allow you to have 2 different sets of schedule lines (VBEP-ABART). Standard SAP you should have two sets of tabs - of schedule lines. One Forecast & the other JIT. Forecast forwards the schedule lines to planning (seen in MD04) and JIT passes them to shipping (VL10). They can be identical or different. Typically these are used for component supplier customers (namely Automotive). The customer will provide you 4-10 weekly buckets (usually a

Monday date) of future forecast qtys. Also send you 1-2 weeks of individual FIRM ship dates - which are entered on the JIT. It comes down to the customer not knowing exactly what they need next week, but they don't want to suprise you with a large order qty, where your lead times are 5+ days. The forecasted qtys they sent last week should account for this.

(2) Cumulative Quantities are tracked and influence how the schedule agreement passes requirements to both forecasting and shipping. These qtys are sometimes requested by the customer on ASNs. Cumulative qtys reset at year end unless you've got a customer calendar or you've modified standard SAP userexits to not reset.

Schedule agreements are very nice when the customer sends EDI data (830s = forecast or 862s = JITs). Outside of that they can really cause trouble regarding daily maintenance, missing requirements, cum qty corrections, year end processing, etc.

One alternative would be to use customer independent requirements - entering the weekly, monthly forecasting qtys and entering standard sales orders (with or without multiple schedule lines) to represent the true firm qtys.

Hello

Schedule line is nothing but the date and time of when you want the goods you are ordering to be delivered.

Scheduled lines are there in a scheduling agreement as we specify the delivery lines during the time of agreement creation.

It can also be specified in the PO in the delivery tab. Like if u are ordering 100 pieces and u want it to be deliverd in two times, we specify that by making a delivery schedule line in the delivery tab in item detail in PO.

Hope this helps

Regards
