Automatic sales schedule processing

You can automate the processing of sales schedules. For each activity, you specify whether the activity is run automatically or manually.

The execution of the schedule procedure activities starts when a sales release is processed into a sales schedule or a sales schedule is created. All automatic activities are executed successively until an activity is defined as non-automatic. After you manually executed the non-automatic activity, LN executes the next automatic activity, and so on. Therefore, for each activity, you specify whether the activity is run automatically or manually.

Note

For referenced and nonreferenced schedules, the Automaticallly Process Sales Schedule Releases check box in the Sold-to Business Partner (tccom4110s000) session determines whether or not sales releases are automatically converted to sales schedules with the Created status.

The Use Contracts for Schedules and Use Terms and Conditions for Schedules check boxes in the Sales Schedule Parameters (tdsls0100s500) session determine the session from which LN retrieves the automatic processing data.
