Multiple Schedule Line Category significance

[Former Member]

Hi,

I am a SAP SD newbie.. I am not able to understand the significance of Schedule line category..

Each item can have multiple schdule line caterories. But why would we need multiple of these.

Sap manuals are not very clear on the need for multiple schedule lines especially since they are automaticall determined.

So clarification would help me understand the concept..

Thanks

Significance of Multiple Schedule Lines is that if the complete stock is not available at a given point of time & Partial Delivery allowed. For Example, Sales Order is for Quantity 100 (Partial Delivery allowed) & ready stock issay 30, which can be delivered on required delivery date & balance 70 may be available after 10 day. so there will be multiple schedule line, the first schedule line as not confirmed sales order on say 17th Jan, second schedule line as confirmed sales order of 30 on 17th Jan & third schedule line as confirmed sales order on 27th Jan.

Alternatively, customer places Sales Order of say 100 & provides an schedule say 25 numbers on 17th Jan, 25 numbers on 24th Jan & so on..., so accordingly schedule lines can be maintained.
