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.

For referenced sales schedules, the Referenced Schedule check box is selected in the Sales Schedules (tdsls3111m000) session.

Note
  • For each Reference, only one sales schedule line can exist.
  • For each Shipment Reference, multiple sales schedule lines can exist.
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 Use Contracts for Schedules check box in the Sales Schedule Parameters (tdsls0100s500) session determines from which of these sessions the master data is retrieved.

The Schedule Revisions for Referenced Shipping Schedules check box in the Schedule Terms and Conditions (tctrm1131m000) session determines how updates to referenced schedules are 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

If the Use Contracts for Schedules check box is selected in the Sales Schedule Parameters (tdsls0100s500), a planned warehouse order line can be linked to one or more referenced schedule lines. The references are stored in the Planned Warehouse Order Reference Distribution (tdsls3522m000) and Sales Schedule Actual Delivery Line Reference Distribution (tdsls3542m000) sessions.

Referenced shipping schedules for pick-up sheets

Referenced sales schedules of the Shipping Schedule type can be created for pick-up sheets.

For more information, refer to Pick-up sheets.

Referenced sequence shipping schedules

Referenced sales schedules of the Sequence Shipping Schedule type can be created for sequence shipping schedules.

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

  • 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 has one shipping sequence detail line. For more information on shipping sequence details, refer to Sales schedules and Warehousing.

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.
