| Push schedules |  |
| A push schedule is a non-referenced schedule that can either be generated by a planning system, or created manually. In both cases, the same procedure is followed. For push schedules, the following steps must be completed: Step 1. To generate a schedule header and lines Create/generate a schedule header in the Purchase Schedules (tdpur3110m000) session, and schedule lines in the Purchase Schedule - Lines (tdpur3111m000) session. Before a push schedule can be automatically generated by Enterprise Planning, the following information is exchanged between Enterprise Planning and the Purchase Control module: Determination of supplier To determine a supplier, the following steps are completed: Enterprise Planning sends the required item (group) and warehouse to Purchase Control. Purchase Control searches for approved suppliers based on the priority levels defined on the Buy-from BP Search Schedules tab of the Purchase Contract Parameters (tdpur0100m300) session. Purchase Control sends all valid business partners to Enterprise Planning, after which Enterprise Planning selects a supplier. For more information, refer to: To select external suppliers To select internal suppliers Determination of requirement dates To determine requirement dates, Enterprise Planning carries out lead time offsetting. To carry out lead time offsetting, Purchase Control must generate planned delivery moments far enough in the future in the Generate Planned Delivery Moments (tdipu0225m000) session. The generated planned delivery moments are stored in the Planned Delivery Moments (Shipment Based) (tdipu0125m000) session or the Planned Delivery Moments (Delivery Based) (tdipu0126m000) session, from which they can be called on by Enterprise Planning. For more information on planned delivery moments, refer to To use planned delivery moments. Determination of supply ERP LN can generate schedule lines dependent on a number of constraints. For more information on these constraints, refer to: Constraints for generating non-referenced purchase schedule lines Purchase schedules and Enterprise Planning ERP LN only generates a new schedule if Enterprise Planning does not find an existing push schedule for a combination of item, buy-from business partner, ship-from business partner, and purchase office. At the moment of generating a push schedule in the Purchase Schedules (tdpur3110m000) session, a blanket warehousing order is created immediately. You can view blanket warehousing orders in the Warehousing Orders (whinh2100m000) session. Step 2. To regenerate schedule lines Regenerate schedule lines in the Regenerate Schedules (tdpur3211m000) session. For push schedules, schedule line regeneration serves the following purposes: To determine the applicable segment set and pattern code as retrieved from the Purchase Contract Line Logistic Data (tdpur3102m000) session and/or the Items - Purchase Business Partner (tdipu0110m000) session, and to update the buyer. To calculate the schedule line's new requirement type based on the applicable segment set and issue pattern. As a result, the schedule line is moved in time. For more information on using segment sets when regenerating purchase schedule lines, refer to To use segment sets. Step 3. To generate a purchase release (line) Use the Generate Release Lines (tdpur3222m000) session to perform the following actions for Material Release and/or Shipping Schedule: Generate purchase release lines, which are displayed in the Purchase Release - Lines (tdpur3121m000) session. Cluster schedule lines, which are displayed in the Purchase Release Line - Details (tdpur3522m000) session. For more information on: Purchase releases, refer to Purchase releases. Custering, refer to To cluster purchase schedule lines. Step 4. To approve the purchase release line Approve the purchase release line in the Approve Release Lines (tdpur3222m100) session. Step 5. To print the purchase release Print the purchase release in the Print Purchase Releases (tdpur3422m000) session. If the Communication Channel field in the Purchase Contract Line Logistic Data (tdpur3102m000) session and/or the Items - Purchase Business Partner (tdipu0110m000) session is set to EDI and the Release EDI Message Directly check box is selected in these sessions, you need not print the purchase release in the Print Purchase Releases (tdpur3422m000) session. ERP LN automatically prints the purchase release. Step 6. To insert authorizations Authorizations are inserted in the FAB/RAW Authorizations (tdpur3534m000) session. For more information, refer to Authorizations. Step 7. To insert receipt details Receipt details are inserted in the Purchase Schedule - Receipts (tdpur3115m200) session. For more information on receiving and inspecting scheduled items, refer to: Receipts on push schedule lines To inspect scheduled items Step 8. To insert cumulatives Cumulatives (CUMS) are inserted in the following sessions: Shipped Cumulatives (tdpur3131m000) Received Cumulatives (tdpur3132m000) Required Cumulatives (tdpur3130m000) Invoiced Cumulatives (tdpur3133m000) For more information, refer to Purchase schedule cumulatives. Step 9. To reset the cumulatives and authorizations Reset the cumulatives and authorizations in the Reset Cumulatives (tdpur3230m000) session. For more information, refer to To reset purchase schedule cumulatives and To reset authorizations. Step 10. To update history and turnover data Update purchase schedule history and turnover data in the Process Delivered Purchase Schedules (tdpur3223m000) session. As a result, the status of the schedule line is changed to Processed. In the Delete Purchase Schedules (tdpur3224m000) session, you can delete the processed purchase schedule.
