Sales Contract Line Logistic Data (tdsls3102m000)

Use this session to view, enter, and maintain logistic agreements for a sales contract line.

The sales contract line logistic data provides default values to the sales schedule that is linked to the sales contract line.

You can only change inactive sales contract line logistic data. To activate the sales contract line logistic data, choose Activate. The status is changed to Active. To deactivate the sales contract line logistic data, choose De-activate. The status is changed to Free.

Note
  • You can only use this session if the Use Contracts for Schedules check box is selected in the Sales Schedule Parameters (tdsls0100s500) session.
  • Based on the schedule line's Start Date, or the schedule's Generation Date, LN determines which logistic record is effective for the sales schedule.
  • The fields in this session are defaulted from the corresponding fields in the Items - Sales Business Partner (tdisa0510m000) session.

 

Contract

The sales contract for which the logistic data is applicable.

Line

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

The raw materials, subassemblies, finished products, and tools that can be purchased, stored, manufactured, and sold.

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

You can also define nonphysical items, which are not retained in inventory but can be used to post costs or to invoice services to customers. The examples of nonphysical items:

  • Cost items (for example, electricity)
  • Service items
  • Subcontracting services
  • List items (menus/options)
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:

  • Activate
  • De-activate

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.

Related topics

Shipment or Receipt Based

Use this field to define the date and time on which the sales schedule requirements are based.

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
  • You can only select this check box if the Referenced Schedule check box is also selected.
  • You cannot select this check box if the Use Material Release for Firm Requirements check box is selected.
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:

  • Your business partner provides you with.
  • On which the adjustment quantity is based.
  • That is used for resetting the cumulatives and authorizations.

Allowed values

  • Order Based
    The prior required CUM is used.
  • Receipt Based
    The received CUM is used.
  • Not Applicable
    Applies if the Use Sequence Shipping Schedule or Use Pick-up Sheet check box is selected.
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:

  • The calculated receipt date when the shipment is confirmed.
  • The actual receipt date when the shipment is received by the sold-to business partner.

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.

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.

Net 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
  • This check box can only be selected if the Net Planned Requirements check box is also selected.
  • The remaining quantity cannot be less than 0. If the firm quantity is more than the planned quantity, the remaining quantity is 0.
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 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
  • This check box can only be selected if the Use Material Release check box is also selected.
  • If the Distribute Planned Requirements check box is cleared, this check box is selected and disabled.
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:

  • Percentage
    The tolerance is represented as a percentage of the ordered quantity.
  • Quantity
    The tolerance is a fixed quantity.
  • No
    No tolerance type is applicable, because the Allow Overdeliveries check box is cleared.
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:

  • Warn
    If the maximum tolerance is exceeded, LN gives a warning message to Warehousing.
  • Block
    If the maximum tolerance is exceeded, LN blocks the shipment in Warehousing.
  • No
    LN does not take any action.
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.

Package Definition is Binding

If this check box is selected, the package definition is binding for the outbound-order line.

Carrier/LSP

The company responsible for the transportation of goods to the ship-to business partner.

This field is defaulted as follows:

  1. From the Sales Contracts (tdsls3500m000) session.
  2. From the Items - Sales Business Partner (tdisa0510m000) session.
  3. From the Ship-to Business Partner (tccom4111s000) session.
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:

  • Ship Set Complete
  • Ship Order Complete
  • Ship Kit Complete

Allowed values

Shipping Constraint

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:

  • Pick-up sheets
  • Sequence shipping schedules
  • Referenced schedule shipments for which the Allow Consolidation of References check box is selected.
  • Referenced schedule shipments for which the Unique Shipment Reference per Shipment check box is selected in the Warehousing Order Types (whinh0110m000) session.

In these cases, the remaining required quantity for the planned warehouse order is canceled.

Allowed values

Ship & Carry Forward

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
  • If this field is filled, LN automatically checks whether a sales schedule line can be consolidated by quantity and/or by date on a planned warehouse order.
  • Consolidation by quantity reduces the number of planned warehouse orders. Consolidation by date does not reduce the number of planned warehouse orders, but the number of delivery moments for the sales schedule.
  • Consolidation by date is always applied in a backward mode. A schedule line with a start date or planned receipt date between two delivery moments is linked to a planned warehouse order with a requirement start date/planned receipt date that is changed into the first of those two delivery moments. A delivery moment is never applied in a forward mode.
  • If consolidation by date comes up with a delivery moment in the past for the planned warehouse order, or if no delivery moment is available that falls before the planned warehouse order's requirement start date/planned receipt date, the schedule line's start date/planned receipt date is taken as the planned warehouse order's requirement start date/planned receipt date.
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
  • When the item is shipped to the sold-to business partner, the standard LIFO/FIFO outbound policy is overruled.
  • The best before date is called the Inventory Date in the Stock Point Inventory (whinr1540m000) session.

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.

Related topics

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 (tcibd0501m000) session.
