Zero required quantity for sales schedule lines

You can receive sales schedule lines with a required quantity of zero. The sales schedule line quantity can also be changed to zero when the sales schedule procedure is completed. When a sales schedule receives a required quantity of zero, an attempt to cancel the sales schedule line or the planned warehouse order is performed.

A sales schedule line can receive a required quantity of zero due to the following reasons:

  • The sales schedule is adjusted. For more information, refer to Adjusting sales schedules.
  • You manually reduce the required quantity to zero in the Sales Schedule Lines (tdsls3107m000) session.
  • The processed sales release contains a quantity of zero for the schedule line.

It depends on the current status of the sales schedule line or the planned warehouse order if the sales schedule line or the planned warehouse order can be canceled.

Cancellation allowed

Sales schedule lines with the Created, Adjusted, or Approved status and planned warehouse orders with the Planned status can always be canceled.

Note: 

If a sales schedule line is already approved in the approval process, the results of the approval process are undone if the schedule line:

  • Has the Approved status.
  • Has the Order Generated status and the outbound process is not yet started for the schedule line.

Cancellation not allowed

Sales schedule lines with the Goods Delivered, Released to Invoicing, or Invoiced status and planned warehouse orders with the Finalized, Released to Invoicing, or Invoiced status cannot be canceled. You must finish the sales schedule procedure until they receive the Processed status.

Cancellation under restrictions

If a sales schedule line and linked planned warehouse order are released to Warehousing, the related outbound order line determines whether the planned warehouse order/sales schedule line can be canceled.

Note: You can specify until when an outbound order line is allowed to be canceled and removed on the Outbound Process tab of the Warehousing Order Types (whinh0110m000) session.

Order Generated or Released to Warehousing statuses

The following apply to a sales schedule line with the Order Generated status or a planned warehouse order with the Released to Warehousing status:

  • If the outbound order line is allowed to be canceled, the outbound order line is deleted and the planned warehouse order/sales schedule line gets the Canceled status.
  • If the outbound order line is not allowed to be canceled, the outbound order line and the planned warehouse order are set to Canceled and the sales schedule line gets the Canceling in Process status.
  • If the outbound order line that is set to Canceled gets the Shipped status, the sales schedule line receives the Canceled status.

Partially Shipped or Partially Delivered statuses

The following apply to a sales schedule line with the Partially Shipped status or a planned warehouse order with the Partially Delivered status:

  • If the outbound order line for the remaining quantity is allowed to be removed, the planned warehouse order receives the Finalized status and the sales schedule line receives the Goods Delivered status.
  • If the outbound order line for the remaining quantity is not allowed to be removed, the outbound order line is set to Canceled and the sales schedule line keeps the Partially Shipped status. When the Canceled outbound order line receives the Shipped status, the sales schedule line receives the Goods Delivered status.
  • The canceled part of the planned warehouse order quantity is updated on the planned warehouse order as the Canceled Quantity. Sales schedule lines linked to this planned warehouse order receive the Goods Delivered status.
  • Sales schedule lines that are linked to a canceled planned warehouse order, have cancellation history records. The sum of the canceled quantities of these history records is equal to the canceled quantity of the linked planned warehouse order.
