SAP ERP SD Customizing Schedule Line

February 28th, 2011 Leave a comment Go to comments Area: Sales Description The schedule line is the division of an item in a sales document according to date and quantity. For example, if the total quantity of an item can only be delivered in four partial deliveries, the system creates four schedule lines and determines the appropriate quantities and delivery dates for each schedule line. The SAP systems can only copy those items of a sales document to a delivery for which schedule lines exists. The behavior of schedule line is controlled by the schedule line category. The schedule line category is used to controller below business settings: Delivery block When you define a delivery block for a schedule line category, this specification is copied to the schedule line. The schedule line is then blocked for all delivery types that are allocated to this delivery block. Information on the assignment of delivery blocks to delivery types can be found in the section "Define blocking reasons in Shipping". Movement Type Here, you specify a movement type for posting quantities and changes in value to inventory accounting. The movement type is only relevant to items or schedule lines which result in a stock movement. Do not specify a movement type for goods issue for the schedule lines for returns items. Instead, specify a goods movement for the return delivery, thus for goods receipt. Item is relevant for delivery This flag indicates whether the item that is related to a schedule line is relevant for delivery. For example, if a sales order item is relevant for delivery, so are the schedule lines that belong to the item. Schedule lines that belong to an item in a quotation are not relevant for delivery.

The indicator corresponds to the settings for the availability check for each schedule line category and can also be set there.
