Hello Ritwik ,

As you have confirmed all the required master data for creating Schedule lines is maintained, try to create a schedule line manualy in RRP3 view.

In rrp3 , got to change mode and try to put a 'receipt qty ' for any suitable date. Press enter and the system will pop a screen , which should show the SA you ciffed from ECC to apo

Select the SA and it will create schedule line.

If some master data is missing it will create a purchase requisition.

Thanks

Dear Nani

Scheduling lines planning can be done in 2 ways

1. Using SAP ECC scheduling agreement which creates PR's for suppliers which are converted to scheduling lines in SAP ECC.

2. Using APO scheduling agreement. 9ASNP03 PA and 9ASA planning book for interactive planning. When you run heuristic, it creates schedule lines for the suppliers .

I feel you try with 9ASA planning book and review the results.

Reward points if it helps.

hi Ritwik,

just go through the below steps again.

1. Both location and products are available in APO.

2.APO relevant scheduling agreement is CIFed to APO from R/3.

3. the Scheduling agreement is maintained in the source list in R/3.

4.Check the external Procurement relationship created by CIF transfer of SA.

5. Check for multiple Ext.procurement relationship existence. if exist deactivate all except the APO relavant SA.( means on APO Schedule agreement relationship should be active.

6. Multiple Product specific transportation lanes existence.

Hi,

You need to put "conversion indicator" to these Preqs in /SAPAPO/RRP3. This will convert Preq into Schedule lines by refering external procurement relationship data (for that vendor).

hi

how to set conversion indicator in RRP3 view.can you explain me.

as per my knowledge this can not be used for schedule agreement.

generally is it possible to generate schedule lines in SAPAPO or not.

thanks

Hi,

When you CIFed Scheduling agreement it creates automatically transportation lane from plant to Vendor and this is how it recognises source of supply.

Does there exist any source of supply for Preq generated? Which process you have used to generate Preq? Use SNP heuristic which will identify source as vendor (U must have CIFed vendor from R/3 before scheduling agreement).

And then you can set conversion indicator, which will conver Preq to Schedule line.

Hello Nani,

To convert purchase requisition to schedule line, you can use transaction /SAPAPO/RRP7.

Your error message NO SOURCE OF SUPPLY means, something is wrong with your external procurement relationship. If you will go to Periods Tab of transaction /sapapo/rrp3, you will on what Vendor the PR is assigned.

Thanks and Best Regards,

Dear Ritwik,

I guess you have done following steps already.

1. Created APO relevant Scheduling agreement. Ext, Planning Indicator.

2. CIF transfer of the scheduling agreements.

Now you check in External Procurement relationships, you need to ensure that you only have one active external procurement relationship for the products( which is Created by your APO relavant Scheduling Agreement CIF). It is possible that you have more than one procurement relationship active for the product and so it is creating PR's instead of Schedule lines.

Hope it helps.

Hi

Pls ensure the following is met

1) RRP3 view- U R able to see the Sched agreement

2) /SAPAPO/PWBSRC1 - check the status in Assigned transporation lanes tab, it should be green and Ext procurement relation should be active

3) Ensure whether location 'Vendor" is created in APO

WIth all these, it shoud work. Pls let me know
