Schedule Line Category - sales order

[Former Member]

Hi All,

I have 2 sales orders with the same material in the item shows 2 different schedule line categories.

For example:

Sales order 1 with Item A  - Schedule line category - CB

Sales order 2 with Item A - Schedule line category - CN

What could be causing this? Nothing has changed in the material master.

Any input would be helpful.

Thanks,

Meghna

Same incident happened with my current client

CB-it will plan your material for MRP and show your sales order in md04.

CN-Not consider material in planning will not sales order in md04.

Hii Meghna Rao,

Schedule Line Category is determined from the Item Category used in Sales Order and MRP Type from Material Master MRP-1 TAB.

This combination is customized in SPRO-Sales & Distribution-Sales- Sales Docs- Schedule Lines. You can check the combinations there.

e.g Item Cat "TAN" + MRP Type "ND" = Schedule Line category "CN"

It is possible that someone changed Materil Master MRP Type later on after creating First Sales Order Or  changed manually in Sales Order.

HI Meghna Rao,

Please check in Material master MRP 1 Tab, MRP Type ND, PD

It may cause for change of schedule line category in Sales order

In both the sales orders--- is the delivering plant is same or not??(pl check)

Apart from the above suggestions--pl check whether this material has been maintained with different MRP types in different plants.

Yes it is possible-

1.a same item can contain two different schedule line categories either in one sales order if maintained in different line items or

2. In different sales orders...

If a item has been maintained with two different MRP types in different plants--then different schedule line categories can be determined.

Pl update us.

Unless some user change that manually, I dont think, system is behaving in a weird manner.  Check the change log.  Hope you should be aware how a schedule line category would flow in a sale order.  So please check those areas also in case your document type / item category differs.
