| Purchase schedule authorizationsSuppliers ship purchase
schedule items based on the requirement type. The Firm requirement type, however, can deviate from the earlier received Planned requirement type. If you use
authorizations, before the Firm requirement type is communicated, a buyer gives a supplier permission to
fabricate goods or to buy raw materials up to a certain quantity level. The
essence of an authorization is that you bear the risk if you do not need the
goods. In other words, you must pay for the fabrication and/or raw materials,
whether or not the goods are actually required. Authorizations The following types of authorizations are
available: To use authorizations, take the following steps: - Select the Authorizations check box in the Purchase Contract Line Logistic Data (tdpur3102m000) session and/or the Items - Purchase Business Partner (tdipu0110m000) session.
- If you want to give a FAB authorization, define a FAB period in the FAB Period field of the Purchase Contract Line Logistic Data (tdpur3102m000) session and/or the Items - Purchase Business Partner (tdipu0110m000) session.
- If you want to give a RAW authorization, define a RAW period in the RAW Period field of the Purchase Contract Line Logistic Data (tdpur3102m000) session and/or the Items - Purchase Business Partner (tdipu0110m000) session.
In the FAB/RAW Authorizations (tdpur3534m000) session, you can view the various
authorizations for a specific purchase schedule. Authorizations for the schedule are updated in the FAB/RAW Authorizations (tdpur3534m000) session as soon as: - The authorizations and cumulatives are reset in the Reset Cumulatives (tdpur3230m000) session.
- A purchase release receives the Sent status. As a result, most of the fields in the FAB/RAW Authorizations (tdpur3534m000) session are defaulted from the Purchase Release (tdpur3121m000) session.
Calculating FAB and RAW authorizations for push
schedules FAB and RAW authorizations are calculated from the schedule issue date. Calculating FAB and RAW authorizations for pull-forecast
schedules FAB and RAW authorizations are calculated from the current date. FAB Authorization Required CUM on the current date + requirements of released
schedule lines for which no receipts are booked yet on the current date + sum
of all schedule requirements that fall into the FAB period. RAW Authorization Required CUM on the current date + requirements of released
schedule lines for which no receipts are booked yet on the current date + sum
of all schedule requirements that fall into the RAW period.
Note - The pull forecast schedule retrieves the required CUM from
the pull call-off schedule, as stored in the Required Cumulatives (tdpur3130m000) session.
- For pull forecast schedules, you cannot use the schedule
issue date to calculate the FAB and RAW authorizations, because pull call-off
schedules are not released based on schedule issue date. If you use the
schedule issue date, several call-off schedule lines can be excluded from the
FAB and RAW calculation, because of the short horizon of these schedule lines.
Therefore, the current date is used, which can be one of
the following: - The date on which release lines are generated in the Generate Release Lines (tdpur3222m000) session.
- The date on which a release is updated, which you can
perform by clicking Update Release on the appropriate menu of the Purchase Release Line - Details (tdpur3522m000) session.
- The date on which a release is rebuilt, which you can
perform by selecting the Rebuild Release check box in the Approve Release Lines (tdpur3222m100) session.
Example Authorization Requirement
type | Time period |
---|
Firm | 01/01 - 15/01 | Planned | 15/01 ---> |
- The time period from 01/01 - 15/01 contains real orders. The
delivery is certain.
- For the time period from 15/01 - 01/02, you can give, for
instance, a FAB authorization.
- For the time period from 01/02 - 15/02, you can give, for
instance, a RAW authorization.
Example High authorization period | FAB authorization | High FAB authorization | Schedule issue date |
---|
15/1 - 1/2 | 100 | 100 | 1/1 | 15/1 - 1/2 | 150 | 150 | 5/1 | 15/1 - 1/2 | 125 | 150 | 10/1 |
Note The period during which high authorizations are valid, is
calculated from the current CUM reset date through the
moment the CUM reset date is reset in the Reset Cumulatives (tdpur3230m000) session. Sometimes an
authorization must be adjusted. In this case, the highest authorization that is
given to the buy-from business partner for the specific period is valid. In
other words, the buyer must pay the highest authorized quantity for the
specific period. | |
