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, etc. Therefore, for each activity, you specify whether the activity is run automatically or manually.

Note

The Automatically Process Sales Schedule Releases check box in the Ship-to Business Partner by Site (tccom2111m000), Ship-to Business Partner (tccom4111s000), or Sold-to Business Partner (tccom4110s000) session determines whether sales releases are automatically converted to sales schedules with the Created status.
For automatically executed activities, no process reports are printed.
If errors occur when executing a sales schedule activity through a batch session, you can select a device to print the errors.
