Hello Subhash,

<b>Scheduling agreements</b>

1. An outline agreement that is created for one or more materials and outlines the overall expected quantity of the material(s) to be delivered to the customer over a specific period of time. The scheduling agreement is used as a basis for delivering a material. The customer sends in scheduling agreement releases, referred to as delivery schedules, at regular intervals to release a quantity of the material.

2. The basic difference between contract and scheduling agreements is that - goods are delivered on specified dates and in specified quantities as per the agreement in case of scheduling agreements on the other hand contracts is just an agreement to supply either a certain quantity or certain value of items over certain period of time (validity period) to the customer. It doesn’t fix and delivery dates as in the case of scheduling agreements.

3. Data in scheduling agreements comes from three sources: (a) the customer sends in requested quantities and dates, normally by Electronic Data Interchange (EDI). (b) The component supplier enters data manually. (c) The system automatically copies data into the scheduling agreement from master records.

4. If there are still outstanding items in the agreement but you nevertheless want to close it, you can assign a reason for rejection to these items. The system then sets the status of the agreement as complete and the outstanding items no longer appear in the delivery due list.

5. To configure scheduling agreements IMG – sales and distribution – sales – sales documents – scheduling agreements with delivery schedules – define schedule line types (and) maintain planning delivery schedule. Instructions/splitting rules.

6. Option - define schedule line types - is nothing to do with schedule line categories. They are used for information purposes only. We will be focusing on JIT (Just In Time) delivery scheduling. Proceed to planning delivery schedule which is an internal delivery schedule used to plan requirements more efficiently.

7. Maintain planning delivery schedule instructions – these instructions determine the characteristics of the planning delivery schedule. RULES – these define “the split of schedule line quantities” between different days in planning delivery schedule and forecast delivery schedule.

hi,

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

In addition to the standard scheduling agreements you can also manage scheduling agreements for the component supplier industry, with their special features that include:

Working with scheduling agreements with EDI output

Entering scheduling agreements in a forecast or just-in-time (JIT) delivery schedule

Using different types of cumulative quantities

Taking into account the automatic fiscal year change used by the component supplier

Managing engineering change statuses

Storing packing proposals

Creating correction deliveries for the scheduling agreement

Working with external service agents

A scheduling agreement is complete when there are no more items to be delivered.

If there are still outstanding items in the agreement but you nevertheless want to close it, you can assign a reason for rejection to these items. The system then sets the status of the agreement as complete and the outstanding items no longer appear in the delivery due list. The procedure for rejecting items in a contract is identical to the procedure for rejecting items in a sales order.
