Purchase Schedules (tdpur3110m000)

Use this session to view, maintain, or delete purchase schedule headers.

If the business partner in the purchase schedule is an internal business partner, and usually no contract is linked to the schedule, schedule information is defaulted from the Items - Purchase Business Partner (tdipu0110m000) session.

If the business partner in the purchase schedule is an external business partner, an active contract must exist to create a schedule. As a result, schedule information is always defaulted from the Purchase Contract Line Logistic Data (tdpur3102m000) or Purchase Contract Line Logistic Detail Line (tdpur3102m100) session.

Only push schedules can be manually specified in this session. Pull schedules are always automatically generated. However, you can manually update an active pull forecast schedule, if the schedule's linked release type is not Sequence Shipping Schedule. You cannot manually update pull call-off schedules. These schedules can be modified from the origin that generated the pull call-off schedule.

If schedule lines exist, you cannot change the header. However, when the schedule is regenerated, the segment sets and pattern codes stored in the Purchase Contract Line Logistic Data (tdpur3102m000) session are verified, and in case of changes, the new values are defaulted to the schedule header.

Note: If you click the Show the attachments button, the Objects Links (dmcom8110m000) session starts in which you can link a document of any format to the purchase schedule, or view the linked document(s).
Note: When generating a push schedule in the current session, a blanket warehouse order is also created.
