definition includes the default warehouse from which you send the goods, the
carrier who carries out the transport, and the related sold-to business
partner. Effective Date The first day on which a record or a setting is valid. The
effective date often includes the effective time. Expiry Date The last date on which a record or a setting is valid. The

Self Billed Invoice If this check box is selected, self-billing is applicable. Blocked If this check box is selected, the sold-to business
partner is (temporarily) blocked for this item. You can never enter blocked
item - business partner combinations in sales documents. Blocking Reason Use reason codes to describe the reason for blocking customers.

for retro-billing. Retro Billed SO per BP This field indicates how many sales orders must be generated
for each sold-to business partner and item combination during a retrobilling process. You have the following options:
Note The default value is One. Customer Approval If this check box is selected, the goods that are
delivered on a sales order must be approved for the item-business partner
combination before you can invoice the goods. The ownership of the goods
changes from supplier to sold-to business partner when the delivered goods are
approved. If this check box is cleared, the sales order is released to Invoicing as soon as the shipment is confirmed in Warehousing. The ownership of the goods changes from supplier to sold-to business partner when the shipment is confirmed. Note You cannot define this field if the item is a cost item, service item, subcontracting item, or an equipment item. Default value This field is defaulted from the Customer Approval field in the Ship-to Business Partners (tccom4111s000) session. Return Rejected Quantity If this check box is selected, a sales return order must be generated for the rejected quantity
of the delivered goods. Note You cannot define this field if the item is a cost item, service item, subcontracting item, or an equipment item. Default value This field is defaulted from the Return Rejected Quantity field in the Ship-to Business Partners (tccom4111s000) session. Item Sales Text (Internal) If this check box is selected, internal text exists for

ship-to business partner. Shipment or Receipt Based Specify the date and time on which the sales schedule
requirements for the item and business partner combination are based. Allowed values Package Definition The package definition for the item or item group. Unit is Binding If this check box is selected, the unit specified in
the Sales Unit field is
binding for all sales orders that contain the item and business partner. This implies that the business partner receives the items in the preferred unit. Example A business partner orders a box of chocolate bars. A box contains 24 chocolate bars. If the Unit is Binding check box is selected for the combination of item - sales business partner combination, you cannot supply the business partner with 24 chocolate bars. You must use box as a sales unit for this business partner. Unit is Binding for Planning If this check box is selected, available-to-promise (ATP) results are expressed in the sales order unit. If a delivery schedule is
generated, the unit on the order line is not changed. If this check box is cleared, ATP results are expressed in the inventory unit. If a delivery schedule is generated, the unit of measure on the order line is updated to the inventory unit. Example A sales order is available with a sales order quantity expressed in boxes. The inventory unit is pieces.

Shelf Life (Periods) The period during which the item must at least be saleable or
usable for the sold-to business partner after receipt. The shelf life is used to calculate the minimum required best before date for perishable LIFO/ FIFO items. Note
Example The Shelf Life [Periods] is set to 4 days. If the planned receipt date for the item is Monday the first, the best before date is Friday the fifth. This means the item is at least saleable/usable until Friday the fifth. The outbound advice takes into account this Shelf Life [Periods] and only advises items for which the best before date lies 4 days after the planned receipt date at the most. Period for Shelf Life The unit of time in which the shelf life is expressed. Ship-to Warehouse The warehouse to which the item is shipped. If materials must be supplied from the manufacturer to the subcontractor, this warehouse represents the subcontractor's warehouse. As a result, this is an administrative warehouse for the manufacturer. Note This field is only used for item subcontracting. Default value This warehouse is defaulted to the Ship-to Warehouse on the sales order line if the following applies:
Print Critical Safety Item If this check box is selected, an indicator must be

Tolerance Type This field indicates if the tolerance for the over delivery is expressed either as a percentage or a quantity. You have the following options:
Action The way in which LN must handle the outbound order line if a shipment does not meet the
quantity tolerances. You have the following options:
Maximum Tolerance Trans. Time Fence Together with the EDI message as specified in this session, and the Schedule Type as specified in the Sales Schedules (tdsls3111m000) session, the transaction time fence determines the
requirement type of the sales schedule line. Performance aspects The setting of this field could affect system performance and database growth. For more information, refer to Transaction time fence. Frozen Period (+) The number of days, calculated from the current date, for which
you can no longer increase the quantity of required items. Frozen Period (-) The number of days, calculated from the current date, for which
you can no longer reduce the quantity of required items. Linear Estimate If this check box is selected, LN makes a linear
estimate to determine the new forecast quantity for a sales schedule of the Material Release type, if this sales schedule was preceded by a sales schedule
of the Shipping Schedule type or the Sequence Shipping Schedule type. If this check box is cleared, LN takes the unconsumed demand as the new forecast for a sales schedule of the Material Release type, if this sales schedule was preceded by a sales schedule of the Shipping Schedule type or the Sequence Shipping Schedule type. Accumulate Demand On Start Date Of The Period If this check box is selected, Enterprise Planning fills
the first day of the material release's start date with the total quantity.

Consider Planned/Actual Delivery Date during Reconciliation If this check box is selected, the planned/actual
delivery date is considered when reconciling sales schedules. LN calculates the
shipped cumulatives based on the planned/actual delivery date. In this case, the calculation of the shipped cumulatives is as follows: The total shipped quantity for the sales schedule - the quantities that are shipped, but that are not received yet. With this calculation, you can prevent disputes resulting from shipments that are received in a different order as in which they are shipped. These disputes are called out of sequence disputes. As a result, the Delivery Date field is filled in the Shipped CUM (tdsls3532m000) session and the Sales Schedule Reconciliation (tdsls3131m000) session. This field is filled with:
If this check box is cleared, the shipment date is used when reconciling sales schedules. The shipped cumulatives that are communicated when the shipment is confirmed, are inserted in LN. If the shipped quantity differs from the received quantity, a dispute is always generated. LN does not take into account out of sequence receipts. FAB Period The time period, expressed in days, during which you are
authorized to fabricate the items required on a sales schedule. The FAB period
is calculated starting from the sales schedule's last release date. Note The FAB Period is mainly used as a reference, because you get the authorizations from your business partner. LN only uses the FAB Period to reset FAB authorizations if the used authorization method as specified in the Authorizations to be field of the current session is Reset. RAW Period The time period, expressed in days, during which you are
authorized to buy or produce the raw materials that are needed to produce the
items required on a sales schedule. The RAW period is calculated starting from
