| To approve sales schedules |  |
| To be able to actually process sales schedules, the sales schedules with the Created status must be approved. If a sales schedule is approved, it receives the Approved status. To approve sales schedules It depends on the type of schedule how you can approve sales schedules. Referenced schedules If the sales schedule is a referenced schedule, the sales schedule line can be approved automatically. For this purpose, select the Automatic approval check box in the Items - Sales Business Partner (tdisa0510m000) session. As a result, ERP LN directly approves each referenced sales schedule line separately when it is created. If the Automatic approval check box is cleared, you can approve a referenced sales schedule: By sales schedule header, in the Approve Sales Schedules (tdsls3211m000) session, or from the Specific menu of the Sales Schedules (tdsls3111m000) session. By sales schedule line, from the Specific menu of the Sales Schedule - Lines (tdsls3107m000) session. In this case, you can approve a referenced schedule, reference for reference. For more information on referenced sales schedules, refer to Referenced sales schedules.
