SAP MM: Creating a Scheduling Agreement using SAP MM Outline Purchase Agreements With Vendors

Use

You can create a scheduling agreement as follows:

Manually

You enter all data on the scheduling agreement manually.

Using the referencing technique

As reference document (the document you copy from), you can use:

Purchase requisitions

RFQs/quotations

Other scheduling agreements

You can also combine the two options. For example, you can copy data from a reference document and then change or supplement this data as required.

If you wish to set up a scheduling agreement not with one of your vendors but with one of your own plants, you should create a stock transport scheduling agreement (scheduling agreement for longer-distance stock transfers).

Prerequisites

Before you create a scheduling agreement manually, you need the following information:

Account assignment

For each item to be posted to a consumption account, you need the account assignment category and the account assignment data (for example, the number of the cost center to be charged). (See also Account Assignment.)

MPN material number

If you wish to order a material with a manufacturer part number (MPN), you need the MPN material number. See also: Manufacturer Part Number (MPN)).

Purchasing organization/purchasing group

You must assign the scheduling agreement to a purchasing organization and a purchasing group. The release (delivery schedule) must then contain the same purchasing organization as the corresponding scheduling agreement.
