Using Scheduling Agreements without Release Documentation

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.​

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.
