Sales schedule revisions

Sales schedule revision numbers are used to uniquely identify the revision of the sales schedule. They indicate the sales schedule updates that are sent by your business partner.

Note

LN automatically uses revision numbers for non-referenced sales schedules. For referenced shipping schedules and sequence shipping schedules, the Schedule Revisions for Referenced Shipping Schedules and Schedule Revisions for Sequence Shipping Schedules check boxes in the Schedule Terms and Conditions (tctrm1131m000) session determine whether revision numbers are used.

The first sales schedule that is created for a specific combination of the following characteristics receives the sales schedule revision number one:

  • Sold-to Business Partner
  • Ship-to Business Partner
  • Item
  • Sales Office
  • Invoice-to Business Partner
  • Pay-by Business Partner
  • Schedule Type
  • Referenced Schedule
  • Contract
  • Contract Position
  • Contract Office
  • Customer Order, if the Use Customer Order for Schedules check box is selected in the Sales Contract Parameters (tdsls0100s300) session and the Action on Deviating Customer Order is set to Block in the Sales Contracts (tdsls3500m000) session.

When a new sales schedule is received for these characteristics, a sales schedule revision is created with revision number two, and so on.

For sequence shipping schedules, a new schedule revision is created only if all release lines of a specific release have the same item, sales office, ship-to business partner, and customer order number.

When the new sales schedule revision is approved, the previous sales schedule revision and its requirements are no longer valid and LN replaces this sales schedule revision. Whether a sales schedule line that is linked to the old sales schedule revision can receive the Replaced status depends on the schedule line's current status and the existence of a linked outbound order line.

Replacement allowed

If a sales schedule revision is replaced and a related sales schedule line has the Created, Adjusted, or Approved status, the sales schedule line's status is changed to Replaced.

Note

If a sales schedule line is already approved in the approval process, the results of the approval process are undone if the schedule line:

  • Has the Approved status.
  • Has the Order Generated status and the outbound process is not yet started for the schedule line.
Replacement not allowed

If a sales schedule revision is replaced and a linked sales schedule line has the Goods Delivered, Released to Invoicing, or Invoiced status, you must finish the sales schedule procedure for these sales schedule lines until they have the Processed status.

In other words, although the revision as a whole is inactive, these schedule lines must still be processed on the previous revision because they are too far in the process.

Replacement under restrictions

If a sales schedule line is released to Warehousing, the related outbound order line determines whether the sales schedule line can be replaced.

You can specify until when an outbound order line is allowed to be updated, canceled, and removed on the Outbound Process tab of the Warehousing Order Types (whinh0110m000) session.

Sales schedule status

The status of a sales schedule that is replaced depends on the statuses of its sales schedule lines:

  • If not all sales schedule lines have the Processed, or Replaced status, the sales schedule receives the Replacing in Process status.
  • If all sales schedules lines have the Processed, or Replaced status, the sales schedule receives the Replaced status.
