Referenced sales schedules

On referenced sales schedules, schedule requirements are communicated based on (shipment) references.

  • A Reference is used to identify specific requirements that your business partner needs in a specific sequence at a specific line station of the assembly line.
  • A Shipment Reference is used to identify the shipment. If you use pick-up sheets, the shipment reference also identifies the pick-up sheet for the linked sales schedule line.

If you receive a referenced sales schedule, the Referenced Schedule check box is selected in the Sales Schedules (tdsls3111m000) session.

Master data

To use referenced schedules, the following master data setup is required:

  • Items - Sales Business Partner (tdisa0510m000)
    Select the Referenced Schedule check box.
  • Set the EDI message field to Shipping Schedule, Shipping Schedule only, or Sequence Shipping Schedule.
  • Sales Contract Line Logistic Data (tdsls3102m000)
    Select the Referenced Schedule check box.
  • Select the Use Shipping Schedule, Use Sequence Shipping Schedule, or Use Pick-up Sheet check boxes.

The value of the Use Contracts for Schedules check box in the Sales Contract Parameters (tdsls0100s300) session determines the session from which the master data is retrieved.

Note

If the Use Contracts for Schedules check box is selected in the Sales Contract Parameters (tdsls0100s300) session, the following are applicable:

Referenced shipping schedules

If you receive an update of a referenced shipping schedule, the Schedule Revisions for Referenced Shipping Schedules check box in the Schedule Terms and Conditions (tctrm1131m000) session determines how the update is processed.

  • If this check box is selected, a new sales schedule revision number is created.
  • If this check box is cleared, the sales schedule is updated. To keep track of the updates, LN files the sales schedule line updates as revisions in the Sales Release Line Details (tdsls3515m000) session (unless the schedule line is manually specified or updated). From the appropriate menu of this session, you can start the Sales Schedule Lines (tdsls3107m000) session to view the sales schedule line to which the sales release line detail record refers.
Note
  • For each Reference, only one sales schedule line can exist.
  • For each Shipment Reference, multiple sales schedule lines can exist.
Pick-up sheets

If a referenced sales schedule of the Shipping Schedule type is created for a pick-up sheet, LN:

  • Selects the Linked to Pick-up Sheets check box in the Sales Schedules (tdsls3111m000) session.
  • Enters pick-up sheet header information in the Pick-up Sheets (tdsls3107m100) session, which contains business partner, carrier, and reference data.
  • Enters pick-up sheet line information in the Pick-up Sheet (tdsls3107m200) session, which contains item, quantity, and date data. A pick-up sheet line refers to a sales schedule line. Therefore, if you double-click a pick-up sheet line, the Sales Schedule Lines (tdsls3107m000) session is started.

For more information, refer to Pick-up sheets.

Sequence shipping schedules

If you receive an update of a sequence shipping schedule, the Schedule Revisions for Sequence Shipping Schedules check box in the Schedule Terms and Conditions (tctrm1131m000) session determines how the update is processed.

  • If this check box is selected, a new sales schedule revision number is created.
  • If this check box is cleared, the sales schedule is updated. To keep track of the updates, LN files the sales schedule line updates as revisions in the Sequence Shipping Information (tdsls3517m000) session.

If a referenced sales schedule line of the Sequence Shipping Schedule type is created, LN enters:

  • Sequence shipping information in the Sequence Shipping Information (tdsls3517m000) session, which informs you about the sequence in which your ship-to business partner needs the items on the assembly line at a specific line station.
  • Shipping sequence details in the Shipping Sequence (whinh4520m000) session after release to Warehousing. In this session, you can view the shipping sequence data for each reference. You must ship the goods in the sequence that is specified in this session. Only the latest revision of the shipping sequence information is displayed.

Each sales schedule line results in one shipping sequence detail line. For more information on shipping sequence details, refer to Sales schedules and Warehousing.
