| SAP SD: Scheduling Agreement
Vs Contract
A schedule agreement contains details of a delivery schedule but a contract just contains quantity and price information and no details of specific delivery dates What's the difference between schedulling agreement with normal order?
Both of them contains schedule line, price, quantity. There are a couple major differences: (1) - Schedule agreements allow you to have 2 different sets of schedule
lines (VBEP-ABART). Standard SAP you should have two sets of tabs
- of schedule lines. One Forecast & the other JIT. Forecast forwards
the schedule lines to planning (seen in MD04) and JIT passes them to shipping
(VL10). They can be identical or different. Typically these are used for
component supplier customers (namely Automotive). The customer will provide
you 4-10 weekly buckets (usually a
(2) Cumulative Quantities are tracked and influence how the schedule agreement passes requirements to both forecasting and shipping. These qtys are sometimes requested by the customer on ASNs. Cumulative qtys reset at year end unless you've got a customer calendar or you've modified standard SAP userexits to not reset. Schedule agreements are very nice when the customer sends EDI data (830s
= forecast or 862s = JITs). Outside of that they can really cause trouble
regarding daily maintenance, missing requirements, cum qty corrections,
year end processing, etc.
