Entering SA Lines Confirmation In SCM:

This process/steps will be used by buyers for entering the backlog confirmation from
suppliers in the SCM planning book. This is to ensure that the confirmed supply line
(backlog) from suppliers are being considered as part of the total receipt in the SCM
planning book. Buyers are recommended to enter the SA lines confirmation for MAX 3-4
weeks ONLY. This is because, receiving will NOT auto-deduct the SA lines qty that are
being entered in the steps. Buyers would have to MANUALLY update and remove the
qty.

Option A:
1. Log into SCM
2. Go-to transaction /SAPAPO/PWBSCH4 - Enter Confirmations
3. You will come to below screen:

4. Enter the scheduling agreement number in Document Number field.

5. Enter the scheduling agreement line item number in Document Item field.

rather than updating existing data.

to enter confirmation, enter 1 in there. Enter today's date in Date Confirmation

11. Pick the latest #, in the above scenario, buyer would pick the last release
0000000020
12. Upon selecting the latest confirmation, the schedule lines generated against that
release would be populated as below screen shot:

13. You may overwrite the populated confirmation if the backlog quantity that you had
received from supplier differs from what is auto-populated in the box.
14. Press Save button.

Note, if you wish to cancel the confirmation upon goods receipt (GR), you
will need to update the exact same confirmation line to 0 quantity in order
to overwrite it. This is to avoid extra supply lines being captured in the
SCM planning book.
15. Continue with the same steps in the week after receiving the latest backlog from
the supplier. Buyers would have to OVERWRITE the old data with the latest
information. This is a MANUAL process.

Option B:
The other way to do this is to key in the qty directly in the SCM Planning book in the SA
LINES CONFIRMATION Row as illustrated below:

Enter the qty per suppliers backlog report in the distribution receipt (SA confirmation)
row. The supply after backlog row shows the projected EOH after considering the
backlog qty.
