Enter Customer Schedule Line
Explanation
Use this activity to enter a customer schedule line. This is a mandatory
task if using customer scheduling.
Note that in most cases, the lines are automatically generated, not manually
created, from the EDI message, DELSCH, that is sent from your customer. This
automatic handling makes customer scheduling faster and more efficient.
Customer schedule lines are used for indicating the desired due date for
each delivery, desired quantity, and line type of the schedule line. The desired
quantity can either be entered as a specific quantity on each line or as a cumulative
quantity. If the cumulative quantity is entered, the system calculates the quantity
due by using the indicated cumulative figures. The base cumulative quantity
is stored on the schedule as the reference point.
You can also specify an alternate delivery site, line type, alternate supply,
doc code e.g., a cargo bay or a sub doc code e.g., a gate in the cargo bay and
destination location by using the List of Values or by entering the values manually.
A customer schedule is entered in two steps: the header and the schedule
lines. To enter a line, the header must first exist.
Prerequisites
This activity has the following prerequisites:
- A customer schedule header must have been entered.
- Schedule line types must be entered on the Customer Schedule Line Types page.
- If the line type determination via customer schedule template shall
be used, a Plan Template / Calloff Template must
have been defined in the related customer schedule agreement part.
- Alternate release sites, if used, must be defined.
- To use an alternate delivery site, the site must be entered on the
Customer Schedule Agreement Part/Supply
page.
System Effects
As result of this activity:
- A customer schedule line is created.
- If you specified a cumulative quantity for the line, the system calculates
the quantity due based on indicated cumulative figures.
- The base cumulative quantity is stored on the schedule as the reference
point.
- When no line type was entered for a line and no template id is set up
in the related customer schedule agreement part then the line type is set
as the default line type.
- When no line type was entered for a line and a template id is inherited
from the customer schedule agreement part then the line type is determined
automatically according to the template horizons. Reference dates for the
line type determination are delivery date/from date on line level and customer's
created date on header level. For lines where the delivery date is out of
the template horizons (but still within the validity of the schedule header)
again the default line type will be set.
