Schedule Segment Sets (tdipu0113m000)

A segment set can contain an infinite number of segments. New segments are created in the Schedule Segments (tdipu0115m000) session.

To use segment sets in purchase scheduling, you must enter segment sets in the Purchase Contract Line Logistic Data (tdpur3102m000) session and/or the Items - Purchase Business Partner (tdipu0110m000) session.

If you use nonreferenced schedules, segment sets are used to:

• Regenerate schedule lines, which you can perform in the Regenerate Schedules (tdpur3211m000) session.
• Cluster schedule lines to generate release lines with the status Created, which you can perform in the Generate Release Lines (tdpur3222m000) session.

If you use referenced schedules, no segment sets are used because these schedules are immediately put into a purchase release with the status Scheduled. Consequently, the requirement type is always Firm.
