Scheduling agreements without release documentation means the buyer and supplier agree on a fixed schedule for the delivery of goods or services without the need for specific release orders. The supplier is expected to deliver the agreed-upon quantity at the specified intervals, without further instruction from the buyer.
Using Scheduling Agreements without Release Documentation
Objective
After completing this lesson, you will be able to explain working with scheduling agreements without release documentation.
Business Scenario
Scheduling Agreement without Release Documentation
For scheduling agreements without release documentation, you can use the LP document type. With this document type, the delivery schedule lines are transmitted to the supplier just as they are saved in the system. The system does not document in detail which quantities and dates were communicated to the supplier.
Therefore, for the document type without release documentation, you should configure the message control to immediately generate a message when changes are made to the schedule lines.
All open schedule lines are included in each message.
This type of document is therefore more suitable for a limited number of schedule lines.
