Use this activity to create a schedule line type to use in customer schedules. This task should be performed by a material administrator, a logistics responsible, or equivalent personnel. It is important that this task is performed.
When creating a customer schedule and its schedule lines, you can specify whether the schedule line should be converted into a customer order line, planned demand, back order, or as informational data only. You can also select the default line type that is automatically displayed when entering a schedule line. Only one line type can be the default value.
When handling multi-site ordering, the schedule line type setup for both supplier and customer schedules must have the same values. Otherwise, the supplier, who is receiving the customer schedule from the customer, will not be able to decipher the line types in the schedule. For example, a schedule line type of FOR for forecasts set up for supplier schedules is incompatible with a schedule line type of FC for forecasts set up for customer schedules.
