Hi Amit,

The main purpose to have scheduling agreements is to have a clear idea about the quantities and dates of deliveries. (as the name itself says u201Cscheduledu201D agreements)

Scheduling agreement gives you clear information about the delivery dates and the quantities. For instance customer ABC sends purchase order with 500 PCs of material 123. If he wants to receive the delivery of 100 PCs each week, you can create the scheduling agreement. If ABC wants 500 PCs on the same time you can create sales order.

With the help of Scheduling agreements you can keep the track of deliveries and its date and quantity.

Regards,

Sats.

Hi Amit,

Its not hard to find this info at help.sap.com

Sales Order

Definition: Request from a customer to a company to deliver a defined quantity of products or provide a service at a certain time. The sales area that accepts the inquiry is responsible for completing the agreement.

Scheduling Agreements

Purpose

A customer scheduling agreement is an outline agreement with the customer containing delivery quantities and dates. These are then entered as schedule lines in a delivery schedule. You can either create schedule lines when you create the scheduling agreement or you can create them later.

You fulfill a scheduling agreement by creating the deliveries in the schedule as they become due. You process deliveries for a scheduling agreement in exactly the same way as you process a normal delivery. After you have carried out the delivery, the system updates the Delivered quantity field in the scheduling agreement item with the delivery quantity. The following graphic shows the document flow for scheduling agreements.

Integration

You would use this component if you had outline agreements with the customer that contained future delivery quantities of materials that would be sent at certain times within a fixed time period.

If you work with scheduling agreements for the component supplier industry you also need to choose the "Electronic Data Interchange" (EDI) component.
