Enter Supplier Schedule Line, Manually

Explanation

Use this activity to manually enter a supplier schedule line.

The supplier schedule is entered in two steps: the header and then the schedule lines.

The schedule header contains general information about the schedule such as the supplier, schedule type, site, part number, and validity dates for the schedule. The supplier schedule can adopt a variety of status depending on how the flow is set up. Schedule lines can be generated automatically by the system from the template (if desired) when saving the schedule header.

Use the Lines tab to indicate the desired due date for each delivery, the desired quantity, and the line type of the schedule line. The desired quantity can be entered either as a specific quantity on each line or as a cumulative quantity. If a cumulative quantity is entered, the system calculates the quantity due from the cumulative receipts figure entered for the schedule.
