The status is changed to Free. Note
Contract The sales contract for which the logistic data is applicable. Position The number of the sales contract line. Sales Office A department that is identified in the company business model to manage the business partner's sales relations. The sales office is used to identify the locations that are responsible for the organization's sales activities. 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. You can also define nonphysical items, which are not held in inventory but can be used to post costs or to invoice services to customers. The following are examples of nonphysical items:
Effective Date The logistic record's effective date, which must fall between the effective date and the expiry date of the sales contract line. Note Logistic records are retrieved based on the Requirement Start Date. Status The status of the logistic record, which can be Free, or Active. You can assign a status to the logistic record with the following buttons:
You can only activate a contract line in the Sales Contract Lines (tdsls3501m000) session if at least one logistic record is active for the contract line in the current session. Referenced Schedule If this check box is selected, you can only receive referenced schedules. Use Shipment Reference If this check box is selected, references are used to identify shipments. Note The Use Pick-up Sheet check box can only be selected if the current check box is also selected. Shipment or Receipt Based Use this field to define the date and time on which the sales schedule requirements are based. Allowed values Communication Channel The way in which sales schedules must be communicated. Use Material Release If this check box is selected, you can receive material releases with forecasting data. Use Material Release for Firm Requirements If this check box is selected, you can receive material releases that contain the actual order. Note You can only select this check box if the Use Material Release check box is also selected. Use Shipping Schedule If this check box is selected, you can receive shipping schedules. Note You cannot select this check box if the Use Material Release for Firm Requirements check box is selected. Use Sequence Shipping Schedule If this check box is selected, you can receive sequence shipping schedules. Note
Use Pick-up Sheet If this check box is selected, you can receive pick-up sheets. Note You can only select this check box if the Referenced Schedule and Use Shipment Reference check boxes are also selected. Approve Referenced Sales Schedules automatically If this check box is selected, sales schedule lines that you receive for referenced schedules are automatically approved. CUM Model used Use this field to indicate what cumulative (CUM) model is used. The used CUM model determines the cumulative quantity:
Allowed values
Consider Planned/Actual Delivery Date during Reconciliation If this check box is selected, the planned/actual delivery date is considered when reconciling sales schedules. LN calculates the shipped cumulatives based on the planned/actual delivery date. In this case, the calculation of the shipped cumulatives is as follows: The total shipped quantity for the sales schedule - the quantities that are shipped, but that are not received yet. With this calculation, you can prevent disputes resulting from shipments that are received in a different order as in which they are shipped. These disputes are called out of sequence disputes. As a result, the Delivery Date field is filled in the Shipped CUM (tdsls3532m000) session and the Sales Schedule Reconciliation (tdsls3131m000) session. This field is filled with:
If this check box is cleared, the shipment date is used when reconciling sales schedules. The shipped cumulatives that are communicated when the shipment is confirmed, are inserted in LN. If the shipped quantity differs from the received quantity, a dispute is always generated. LN does not take into account out of sequence receipts. Authorizations If this check box is selected, you can use authorizations on sales schedules. Note You cannot select this check box if the Use Material Release check box is cleared and the Use Shipping Schedule check box is selected. FAB Period The time period, expressed in days, during which you are authorized to fabricate the items required on a sales schedule. The FAB period is calculated from the sales schedule's last release date. Note The FAB Period is mainly used as a reference, because you get the authorizations from your business partner. LN only uses the FAB Period to reset FAB authorizations if the authorization method as specified in the Authorizations to be field of the current session is Reset. RAW Period The time period, expressed in days, during which you are authorized to buy or produce the raw materials that are needed to produce the items required on a sales schedule. The RAW period is calculated from the sales schedule's last release date. Note The RAW Period is mainly used as a reference, because you get the authorizations from your business partner. LN only uses the RAW Period to reset RAW authorizations if the authorization method as specified in the Authorizations to be field of the current session is Reset. Authorizations to be The method that is used to reset the FAB and RAW authorizations. Allowed values Transaction Time Fence If the Use Material Release for Firm Requirements check box is selected, the transaction time fence determines, together with the Schedule Type as specified in the Sales Schedules (tdsls3111m000) session, the Requirement Type of the sales schedule line. Performance aspects The setting of this field could affect system performance and database growth. For more information, refer to Transaction time fence. Nett Planned Requirements Based on the planned and firm requirements on sales schedules, available-to-promise quantities are calculated and planned supply is generated in Enterprise Planning. This field determines how to interprete the planned requirements if planned requirements and firm requirements have overlapping periods. If this check box is selected, the planned requirements are valid for the non-overlapping days. When a firm requirement is received for the sales schedule, this quantity replaces the earlier received planned quantity. If this check box is cleared, the planned requirements appear next to the firm requirements and apply to all days in the period. Planned quantities are not replaced by firm quantities, which means firm requirements and planned requirements can be available in Enterprise Planning on the same date. Note This check box is only available if the Use Material Release and at least one of following check boxes are selected: Use Shipping Schedule, Use Sequence Shipping Schedule, or Use Pick-up Sheet. Linear Estimate Based on the planned and firm requirements on sales schedules, available-to-promise quantities are calculated and planned supply is generated in Enterprise Planning. If planned requirements must be netted, this parameter determines how to nett the planned quantities. If this check box is selected, the firm quantity consumes the total planned quantity in the overlapping period. This means the planned quantity in the overlapping period is ignored. LN first calculates the planned requirements per day and then the planned requirements for the non-overlapping period. Therefore, the remaining planned quantity is calculated as follows: Planned requirements per day = planned quantity / number of days of material release period Planned requirements for the non-overlapping period = planned requirements per day * number of days of non-overlapping period If this check box is cleared, the firm quantity consumes the total planned quantity. The remaining quantity is calculated as follows: Planned quantity - firm quantity Note
Distribute Planned Requirements Based on the planned and firm requirements on sales schedules, available-to-promise quantities are calculated and planned supply is generated in Enterprise Planning. If planned requirements and firm requirements have overlapping periods, this field determines whether or not the planned quantities must be spread over the working days. If this check box is selected, LN spreads the planned quantity over the working days of the material release period. If this check box is cleared, LN fills the first working day of the period with the total planned quantity. If the planned requirements are netted, the first working day of the non-overlapping period is taken. Note This check box can only be selected if the Use Material Release check box is also selected. Accumulate Demand On Start Date Of The Period Based on the planned and firm requirements on sales schedules, available-to-promise quantities are calculated and planned supply is generated in Enterprise Planning. If planned requirements and firm requirements do not have overlapping periods, this field determines how to calculate quantities for the non-overlapping period. If this check box is selected, Enterprise Planning fills the first day of the material release's start date with the total quantity. If this check box is cleared, Enterprise Planning spreads the total planned quantity over the number of days between the material release's start date and end date. Note
Freezing Time Increase The number of days, calculated from the current date, for which you can no longer increase the quantity of required items. Frozen Period (-) The number of days, calculated from the current date, for which you can no longer reduce the quantity of required items. Sales Unit The unit in which an item is sold. Allow Overdeliveries If this check box is selected, Warehousing is allowed to ship an over delivery. Note Over deliveries can only be applicable if the Release to Warehouse check box is selected for the item in the Items - Sales (tdisa0501m000) session. Tolerance Type This field indicates if the tolerance for the over delivery is expressed either as a percentage or a quantity. You have the following options:
Action The way in which LN must handle the outbound order line if a shipment does not meet the quantity tolerances. You have the following options:
Maximum Tolerance Package Definition A particular configuration of items and their packaging. A package definition for an item can, for example, be the following: a pallet contains 12 boxes and each box contains 4 pieces. Note If the Full Packages Only check box is selected for the package definition in the Handling Unit Templates (whwmd4160m000) session, the order quantity on a planned warehouse order often is not the sum of the linked sales schedule line(s), but is adjusted to comply with the quantity specified in the package definition. Carrier/LSP The company responsible for the transportation of goods to the ship-to business partner. This field is defaulted as follows:
Warehousing Order Type A code that identifies the type of a warehousing order. The default warehousing procedure that you link to a warehousing order type determines how the warehousing orders to which the order type is allocated are processed in the warehouse, although you can modify the default procedure for individual warehousing orders or order lines. Note You can only select warehousing order types of the Issue transaction type. Shipping Constraint The conditions related to the shipment of goods. Default value This field is defaulted from the Sold-to Business Partners (tccom4510m000) session. Note The following values cannot be selected:
Allowed values Ship & Carry Forward In case of insufficient item inventory, use this field to define how to handle the remaining required quantity for planned warehouse orders. Note You can only define this field if the Shipping Constraint field is set to None. Note Shipping and carrying forward is not applicable for:
In these cases, the remaining required quantity for the planned warehouse order is canceled. Allowed values Delivery Pattern The delivery pattern based on which shipments for items are consolidated into pre-defined delivery moments on planned warehouse orders. If this field is filled, during sales schedule approval, the following dates in the Sales Schedule Planned Warehouse Orders (tdsls3520m000) session can be changed into one of the pattern's delivery moments:
As a result, planned warehouse orders have dates that are in accordance with the desired delivery moments. Note
Allow Consolidation of References If this check box is selected, referenced schedule lines can be consolidated into one planned warehouse order for the same shipment reference. In this case, referenced schedule lines are consolidated by quantity. If this check box is cleared, referenced schedule lines cannot be consolidated by quantity. Note To select this check box, the Referenced Schedule and Use Shipment Reference check boxes must also be selected in this session. No back orders can be created for planned warehouse orders with consolidated references. These orders are completely shipped or the remaining quantity is canceled. Ignore Additional Information during Consolidation If this check box is selected, schedule lines with different contents in their additional information fields can be consolidated into one planned warehouse order. Shelf Life [Periods] The period during which the item must at least be saleable or usable for the sold-to business partner after receipt. The shelf life is used to calculate the minimum required best before date for perishable LIFO/ FIFO items. Note
Example The Shelf Life [Periods] is set to 4 days. If the planned receipt date for the item is Monday the first, the best before date is Friday the fifth. This means the item is at least saleable/usable until Friday the fifth. The outbound advice takes into account this Shelf Life [Periods] and only advises items for which the best before date lies 4 days after the planned receipt date at the most. Period for Shelf Life The unit of time in which the shelf life is expressed. Quality Assurance Process If this check box is selected, the item or item supplier must meet a guaranteed level of quality to ship the item. The item's or supplier's approved quality status is indicated by a quality indicator. Note The quality indicator is sent by the shipment BOD and is printed on shipment labels. Print Critical Safety Item If this check box is selected, an indicator must be printed on the shipment label for the critical safety item. This check box is available only if the Critical Safety Item check box is selected for the item in the Items - General (tcibd0501m000) session.
