Dear Narsimha

You create a special type of scheduling agreement on which to base delivery orders. These scheduling agreements contain forecast delivery schedules with fields specific to delivery order processing. The scheduling agreement and forecast delivery schedule contain all the background information necessary (such as materials and quantities) to create schedule lines in the delivery order.

Features

The standard systems contains several new features specifically for processing delivery orders:

• Scheduling agreement type LZM

• Item category LZMA

• Copy control from scheduling agreements to delivery orders

You can copy items into the delivery order with reference to their related scheduling agreements. Choose Sales --> Maintain copy control for sales documents in Customizing for Sales and Distribution. Use target document TAM and source document LZM.

There are several important differences between a scheduling agreement of type LZM and a standard scheduling agreement. In scheduling agreements with delivery orders:

• The system sets the MRP handling indicator for the delivery schedule type to E – no just-in-time (JIT) delivery schedules. You can view this in the sales overview in the header data.

• Cumulative quantities are based on delivery orders, not deliveries.

• The delivery order, unlike the forecast delivery schedule, is not processed or stored in the scheduling agreement.

Thanks

Hi Narsimha,

Scheduling agreements are outline agreements that the business has with a customer. They contain delivery dates and quantities to be delivered. These dates are then entered as schedule lines in the delivery schedule of the agreement. The scheduling agreement is processed by delivering the schedule lines as they become due.

To configure scheduling agreements, proceed to IMG, Sales and distribution, Sales, Sales documents, Scheduling agreements with delivery schedules, define schedule line types.

Schedule line types are not schedule line categories. Schedule line types are used for information purposes only. Should you need to create one, follow the standard process of copying and

changing a SAP standard. We will be focusing on just-in time (JIT) delivery scheduling. Proceed

to IMG . . . Maintain planning delivery sched. Instruct./splitting rules. The planning delivery schedule is an internal delivery schedule used to plan requirements more efficiently. It is subdivided into three sections:

The standard sales document type for scheduling agreements is LZ. This LZ sales document type

is configured in the same process as all other sales document headers. Note that this sales document type has the following changes to the standard order sales document. The BL

document type must have E as the SD document category, indicating a scheduling agreement. It too has a different screen sequence group using the standard LL.

The pricing procedure can be the same as that of the standard sales orders; thus, you can leave the document pricing procedure indicator or set it as the same as for standard sales orders. The transaction group must be three, indicating this sales document transaction is a scheduling agreement.

Proceed with creating the scheduling agreement by going to Logistics, Sales and distribution,

Sales, Outline agreement, Scheduling agreement, Create, and then enter the order type, such as LZ. Enter the relevant data, such as the customer and material numbers, as well as the order quantities for the materials

Use the T.code VA31 (and choose Scheduleline agreement) : This agreement lets you to predetermine scheduling of different materials with in a given period of time (This is same like the other contracts).

First enter the material with quantity say for example Material 1 Qty: 40, go to Edit from the menu >> Item >> Schedule line

There select within the time period defined two dates, say for example on 12: 01: 2007 20 quantity and on 13: 01: 2007 another 20 (The qty has to be same as the one in the sales order) .

Once this is done you have created a schedule line agreement.

Call this agreement in your sales order (with reference) and use them.

Note: You will be able to deliver only 20 qty on the 12th and 20 qty on the 13th, even though the sales order is for qty 40.

Order Type: LZ

Item Category:LZN

Schedule Line:L1, L2

Hi

Pls make small search in sdn threads before posting Refer below link e.g.

There are different types of scheduling agreements in SD:

1. scheduling agreements without delivery schedules (like DS, or LP in German). This kind of scheduling agreements is similar to the standard order, but has a target quantity and multiple schedule lines to each item, which should be created manually.

2.scheduling agreements with delivery schedules, here there are:

a) 'normal' scheduling agreements with delivery schedules (like LZ in the standard), the flow here: scheduling agreement => delivery

b) scheduling agreements with delivery orders (like LZM in the standard), the flow here: scheduling agreement LZM => delivery order TAM (is the order) => delivery

c) scheduling agreements with external agent service (like LK in the standard), the flow here: scheduling agreement LK => delivery to the consigment storage location => external agent delivery order ED (is the order) => delivery

d) scheduling agreements for self-billing process (like LZS in the standard), they are similar to LZ, but can be invoiced via self-billing IDOC only.

e) in Automotive system there are also specual scheduling agreements for JIT process.

All scheduling agreements can be created in transaction VA31, changed in VA32, displayed in VA33.

For sceduling agreement with delivery schedules you can use both forecast and JIT (Just-in-Time) delivery schedules. And you can indicate "MRP for DS type" (VBAK-ABDIS) from which schedule and when the requirements and deliveries could be created.

The first steps in VA31: give the sales area and scheduling agreement type, ENTER, give the sold-to party, PO number, material number, ENTER. Save.

The scheduling agreement is created.

To create the forecast schedule: VA32, mark the item, press the button "Forecast DS" below and then you can indicate the delivery schedule number, delivery schedule date and create the schedule lines. Save.

Similarly you can create the JIt schedule, but then you have to indicate JIT horizon, until the schedule is valid.

Deliveries can be created by a normal way.

If you create a new delivery schedule, you have to use the buttons "New DS w/o proposal" or "New DS with proposal". lease take into account that creation of a new delivery schedule means that the old delivery schedule will be completely overwritten.
