Release types and requirement types

  • Internal business partner
    Data is retrieved from the Items - Purchase Business Partner (tdipu0110m000) session.
  • External business partner
    Data is retrieved from the Purchase Contract Line Logistic Data (tdpur3102m000) session.

Note
  • For push schedules, shipping can be performed based on the EDI message BEM MRL001, but only for those schedule lines whose requirement type is Firm or Immediate.
  • EDI messages are only generated if the value of the Communication Channel field in the Purchase Contract Line Logistic Data (tdpur3102m000) session and/or the Item - Purchase Business Partner (tdipu0110m000) session is set to EDI.
  • Segment set(s), which consist of several segments, are linked to requirement types. Which segment set(s) can be entered in the Items - Purchase Business Partner (tdipu0110m000) or Purchase Contract Line Logistic Data (tdpur3102m000) session, depends on the chosen release/message type(s). Dependent on the release/message type(s) and the applicable requirement type, specific EDI messages can be generated in time when sending the purchase release to the supplier.
  • Because pull call-off schedule lines are not clustered and are automatically converted to purchase release line details with the status Scheduled, no segment set(s) are used. As a result, the requirement type is always Firm.
  • For push schedules lines, requirement types in the Purchase Schedule - Lines (tdpur3111m000) session are calculated during the regeneration process, which you can perform in the Regenerate Schedules (tdpur3211m000) session. The requirement types in the Purchase Release Line - Details (tdpur3522m000) session are directly calculated from the schedule's applicable segment set and issue pattern. If you do not regenerate the schedule line, the value of the Requirement Type field in the Purchase Schedule - Lines (tdpur3111m000) session has the same value as the Req. Type field in the Purchase Release Line - Details (tdpur3522m000) session. Which schedule lines are included when you generate release lines in the Generate Release Lines (tdpur3222m000) session, depends on the push schedule's release/message type(s). For example, if the release type is defined as Shipping Schedule Only, no material release is created, so the purchase release does not contain Planned release lines.
