Purchase Schedules (tdpur3110m000)

Use this session to view, maintain, or delete purchase schedule headers.

Note

When generating a push schedule in the current session, a blanket warehouse order is also created.

If the business partner in the purchase schedule is an internal business partner, and usually no contract is linked to the schedule, schedule information is defaulted from the Items - Purchase Business Partner (tdipu0110m000) session.

If the business partner in the purchase schedule is an external business partner, an active contract must exist to create a schedule. As a result, schedule information is always defaulted from the Purchase Contract Line Logistic Data (tdpur3102m000) or Purchase Contract Line Logistic Detail Line (tdpur3102m100) session.

LN automatically links a normal contract to the purchase schedule. However, instead, you can link a special contract to the purchase schedule. To unlink the normal contract and link a special contract, click Change Contract. As a result, the Selected Purchase Contract Lines (tdpur3512s000) session starts from which you can select a special contract.

When you replace the normal contract by a special contract, LN:

  • Deletes the normal contract's blanket warehouse order and creates a new one for the special contract. For the new blanket warehouse order, LN uses the data from the special contract.
  • Decreases the normal contract's called quantity and called amount following the quantities of the linked schedule lines.
  • Increases the special contract's called quantity and called amount following the quantities of the linked schedule lines.
  • Redetermines, for each schedule line, the price and discounts based on the purchase contract price revision that is linked to the special contract.
Note

You can only replace the normal contract by a special contract as long as no receipts are booked yet for the purchase schedule. If receipts are already booked, you must terminate the existing purchase schedule and create a new purchase schedule in the Terminate Purchase Schedule (tdpur3210m100) session. Now, you can link a special contract to the newly created purchase schedule.

Only push schedules can be manually specified in this session. Pull schedules are always automatically generated. However, you can manually update an active pull forecast schedule, as long as the schedule's linked release type is not Sequence Shipping Schedule. You cannot manually update pull call-off schedules. You can only change these schedules from the origin that generated the pull call-off schedule.

If schedule lines exist, you can no longer change the header. However, when the schedule is regenerated, the segment sets and pattern codes stored in the Purchase Contract Line Logistic Data (tdpur3102m000) session are checked, and in case of changes, the new values are defaulted to the schedule header.

Note

If you click the Show the attachments button, the Objects Links (dmcom8110m000) session starts in which you can link a document of any format to the purchase schedule, or view the linked document(s).

 

Schedule

The number of the purchase schedule.

For pull schedules, the same schedule number can occur twice in this session. The first number represents the Pull Forecast schedule type and the second number represents the Pull Call-off schedule type.

Note

The schedule number is linked to the purchase order number group. You can specify the default number group for purchase orders/schedules in the Number Group for Purchase Orders field of the Purchase Order Parameters (tdpur0100m400) session.

You can determine the default series for the purchase schedule number group in the following sessions:

  • Purchase Offices (tdpur0112m000).
  • Purchase User Profiles (tdpur0143m000).
Purchase Schedule Type

The type of the purchase schedule.

Note
  • If LN generates a schedule, the type of the schedule is defaulted from the Schedule Type field of the Items - General (tcibd0501m000) session.
  • If you manually enter a schedule, the schedule is always of the type Push. You cannot manually create pull schedules.

Warehouse

The warehouse in which the items must be received.

Note
  • The warehouse cannot be of the type Consignment (Owned).
  • A warehouse of the type Consignment (Not Owned) is allowed only if the Consigned check box is selected and the ship-from business partner is the owner of the items in the warehouse.
  • This field is mandatory if the purchase schedule is linked to a purchase contract line detail.
Item

In LN, the raw materials, subassemblies, finished products, and tools that can be purchased, stored, manufactured, sold, and so on.

An item can also represent a set of items handled as one kit, or exist in multiple product variants.

LN automatically links a normal contract to the purchase schedule. However, instead, you can link a special contract to the purchase schedule. To unlink the normal contract and link a special contract to the purchase schedule, click Change Contract. As a result, the Selected Purchase Contract Lines (tdpur3512s000) session starts from which you can select a special contract. When you change the contract, LN decreases the called quantity of the normal contract and increases the called quantity of the special contract.

Note
  • In case of external business partners, a schedule is always linked to a contract line or contract line detail. Logistic agreements, which are mandatory for a schedule, are defaulted from the Purchase Contract Line Logistic Data (tdpur3102m000) or Purchase Contract Line Logistic Detail Line (tdpur3102m100) session.
  • If an internal business partner is entered, for whom usually no contract is present, the logistic agreements are defaulted from the Items - Purchase Business Partner (tdipu0110m000) session.
