Purchase Schedule Parameters (tdpur0100m500)

Field Information

Effective Date

The date and time the parameters are valid. The parameters are valid up to the effective date of a more recent parameter setting.

Description

A user-defined description of the parameter set.

Number Group

The default number group for all purchase orders and purchase schedules.

Note: You can define purchase order series and purchase schedule series in the Procurement User Profiles (tdpur0143m000) session.

Number Group for Call-offs

The default number group for reference IDs, which uniquely identifies call-offs that come from Warehousing .

If pull call-off schedule lines are generated from Warehousing , the Reference ID is generated while creating the purchase schedule line in the Purchase Schedule Lines (tdpur3111m000) session. The reference ID is used as an individual reference for the pull call-off schedule line.

Note: If pull call-off schedule lines are generated from Assembly Control , the reference ID is generated within Assembly Control . Consequently, the number group specified in this field is not used.

Schedule Direct Delivery Series

The series that is assigned to the direct delivery for the purchase schedules.

Step Size for Lines

The interval between successive manually created purchase schedule lines in a purchase schedule.

For example, if you enter the value 10, the numbers assigned to successive schedule lines are 10, 20, 30, and so on.

Note: For schedule lines that are automatically created by LN, step size 1 is used. So, the position numbers assigned to automatically generated schedule lines are 1, 2, 3, and so on.

Segment Set for Material Release

The segment set that is related to a material release.

Note: A segment set for material release is only used in push schedules and pull forecast schedules. For pull call-off schedules, no segment sets are used.

Default value

This segment set is defaulted to the Segment Set for Material Release field in the Items - Purchase Business Partner (tdipu0110m000) session.

Segment Set for Shipping Schedule

The segment set that is related to a shipping schedule.

Note: A segment set for shipping schedule is only used in push schedules. For pull schedules, this segment set is not used.

Default value

This segment set is defaulted to the Segment Set for Shipping Schedule field in the Items - Purchase Business Partner (tdipu0110m000) session.

CUM Model

The cumulative (CUM) model that is used in a logistic company.

Note: 

• Resetting of cumulatives and authorizations in receipt based schedules is based on received cumulatives.
• Resetting of cumulatives and authorizations in order based schedules is based on required cumulatives.

Allowed values

Receipt Based

In receipt based schedules, the supplier's position is taken into account. As a result, in case of an underdelivery, schedule lines with a planned requirement date that falls before the next schedule issue date are inserted as immediate requirements in the Purchase Release Line - Details (tdpur3522m000) session.

Order Based

Order based schedules are independent of the supplier's position. In case of an overdelivery or underdelivery, suppliers are responsible for calculating their positions in relation to the demand.

Process ASN During Goods Receipt

This field is used to determine when Procurement is updated with advance shipment notice (ASN) information from Warehousing .

If this check box is selected, Procurement is updated when scheduled goods are received based on an ASN.

After receipt of the goods, this data is updated for a purchase schedule (line):

• Shipped CUM
• Shipped Quantity
• Last Supplier's ASN
• Received CUM
• Received Quantity
• Last Shipment ID

If this check box is cleared, Procurement is updated when an ASN is created in Warehousing for the goods to be received.

After an ASN is created, this data is updated for a purchase schedule (line):

• Shipped CUM
• Shipped Quantity
• Last Supplier's ASN
• The schedule line status is set to ASN Received

Note: If this check box is selected, for each newly created purchase schedule, the Process ASN During Goods Receipt check box is also selected in the Purchase Schedules (tdpur3110m000) session.

Update Shipped CUM for Receipts without ASN

If this check box is selected, the shipped CUM is updated also for goods receipts that have no matching advance shipment notice (ASN) or for which the ASN is not linked. The shipped CUM is updated with the received quantity.

Note: If this check box is selected, for each newly created purchase schedule, the Update Shipped CUM for Receipts without ASN check box is also selected in the Purchase Schedules (tdpur3110m000) session.

Purchase Schedule Archiving Implemented

If this check box is selected, purchase schedules can be archived to an archive company.

You can archive purchase schedules in the Archive/Delete Purchase Schedules (tdpur3224m000) session, and purchase schedule history in the Archive/Delete Purchase Order/Schedule History (tdpur5201m000) session.

Note: Purchase contracts must be archived before purchase schedules can be archived.

EDI Release Series

The default number group for all EDI release numbers.

LN stores the EDI release numbers in the EDI Release Number field of the Purchase Releases (tdpur3120m000) session.

Issue Pattern for Material Release

The pattern used to determine the issue date for material releases.

Note: An issue pattern for material release is only used in push schedules and pull forecast schedules. In case of pull call-off schedules, no issue patterns are used.

Default value

This issue pattern is defaulted to the Issue Pattern for Material Release field in the Items - Purchase Business Partner (tdipu0110m000) session.

Issue Pattern for Shipping Schedule

Release Line

• The tax fields are stored in the Tax group box of the Purchase Release Line (tdpur3121m000) session.
• If the schedule lines of a purchase schedule have different tax fields, only the purchase schedule lines with the same tax fields, as stored in the Purchase Release Line (tdpur3121m000) session, can be clustered in the same release line detail in the Purchase Release Line - Details (tdpur3522m000) session. Purchase schedule lines with tax fields that differ from the tax fields as stored in the Purchase Release Line (tdpur3121m000) session, can only be sent to the supplier when the previous purchase release is communicated.

Generate Release per Item

If this check box is selected, the requirements on a purchase release are grouped by item.

If this check box is cleared, the requirements on a purchase release are grouped by business partner.

Note: For sequence shipping schedules, the requirements can also be grouped by vehicle. This is determined by the Generate Release per Vehicle check box in the Buy-from Business Partner (tccom4120s000) session. If this Generate Release per Vehicle check box is selected, the setting of the current check box is no longer relevant.

Default value

The value of this check box is defaulted to the Generate Release per Item check box in the Purchase Releases (tdpur3120m000) session.

Log Schedule History

If this check box is selected, history must be logged for purchase schedules.

Only if this check box is selected, history can be logged in purchase schedule-related history sessions.

Note: 

• Purchase schedule history is not only used for future analysis, but also for reconciliation and statistics.
• Reconciliation, which is based on the purchase schedule line history in the Purchase Schedule Line History (tdpur3561m000) session and the purchase schedule actual receipt history in the Purchase Actual Receipt History (tdpur4556m000) session, can only be applied if you select this check box.
• To always use the same parameter history setting for a specific purchase schedule, the current parameter setting is defaulted to the Log Schedule History field in the Purchase Schedules (tdpur3110m000) session at the moment the purchase schedule is created. During the life cycle of the purchase schedule, this field cannot be changed.
