Dear deva

The schedule line category controls whether schedule lines in delivery schedules are relevant for planning and/or delivery. The system determines this category on the basis of the planning indicator in the forecast delivery schedule, then in the just-in-time (JIT) delivery schedule.

To configure schedule line categories for scheduling agreements, choose Sales --> Sales Documents --> Schedule lines --> Define or Assign schedule line categories in Customizing for Sales and Distribution.

For scheduling agreements with delivery schedules, you must assign at least four schedule line categories to combinations of item category and requirement planning type:

=> The basic schedule line category (field SchLC) is relevant for planning and delivery

=> The alternative schedule line category (field 1 MSLCa) is relevant for planning, not delivery

=> The alternative schedule line category (field 2 MSLCa) is relevant for delivery, but not planning

=> The alternative schedule line category (field 3 MSLCa) is not relevant for planning or delivery

When you have made these assignments, all possible combinations are covered during automatic determination. If any are missing, the system will not be able find the appropriate schedule line category and will generate an error message.

The R/3 System contains the following schedule line categories for component suppliers:

=> <b>L1, BN, L2</b>, and <b>CN</b> for item category <b>LZN</b>

=> <b>E4, E0, E5</b>, and <b>BN</b> for item category <b>LKN</b>

=> <b>L2</b> for item category <b>LZMA</b> (standard for delivery order processing)

Although the availability check is switched off in the standard system for these categories, the system may carry out a transfer of requirements for some of them. Even when the availability check is switched off, you must use an availability check group for all materials in scheduling agreements with delivery schedules. Otherwise, the system will not transfer requirements.

If the availability check is switched on and the transfer of requirements switched off for a schedule line type, the system will not take it into account!

Thanks
