Sales Contract Delivery Lines (tdsls3104m000)

Use this session to view, enter, and maintain the scheduled deliveries for a sales contract line. The total of all sales contract delivery lines is also referred to as the delivery scheme for the sales contract line.

A delivery scheme is a list of time-phased deliveries based on a sales contract. To specify the time-phased deliveries, you need sales contract delivery lines that are converted to sales orders. A delivery scheme is a simplified schedule to generate sales orders in time.

Note

You cannot enter, maintain, or delete sales contract delivery lines if the contract line has the Active status.

On the appropriate menu you can choose:

  • Check Delivery Scheme to check the entered delivery scheme.

    LN checks whether:

    • The entered planned delivery dates fall within the effectivity period of the contract line. If not, LN asks you whether you want to change the contract line's effectivity period.
    • The total entered quantity is less than the Agreed Quantity. If not, LN asks you whether you want to update the agreed quantity with the total quantity that is entered for the delivery scheme.
