| Sales schedule line requirement type |  |
| A requirement type represents a requirement in time, used for scheduling. On a sales schedule line, the following requirement types can be communicated: Immediate These schedule requirements have a start date in the past at the time of creation. As a result, an underdelivery is applicable. These requirements must be shipped as soon as possible. Firm These schedule requirements are handled as actual orders that can be shipped. Planned These schedule requirement are sent to you for planning purposes only. Note The value of the Our Requirement Type field in the Sales Schedule - Lines (tdsls3107m000) session determines the actions ERP LN carries out when you approve a sales schedule line. For more information on approving a sale schedule, refer to To approve sales schedules. ERP LN determines the Our Requirement Type as follows: If the Sales Schedule Type is Shipping Schedule and the EDI message is Shipping Schedule only, the Our Requirement Type is always Firm. If the Sales Schedule Type is Material Release, and the EDI message is Shipping Schedule or Sequence Shipping Schedule, the Our Requirement Type is always Planned. If the Sales Schedule Type is Material Release and the EDI message is Material Release, ERP LN determines the Our Requirement Type as follows: If the Transaction Time Fence is All Lines, the Our Requirement Type is Firm. If the Transaction Time Fence is Lines in the FAB Period and the sales schedule line's Start Date is before the FAB period's end date, the Our Requirement Type is Firm. If the Transaction Time Fence is Lines in the FAB Period and the sales schedule line's Start Date is later than the FAB period's end date, the Our Requirement Type is Planned. If the Transaction Time Fence is Lines in the Firm Period, the Our Requirement Type is equal to the Customer Requirement Type. If the Our Requirement Type is Firm but the Start Date of the sales schedule line is before the system date, ERP LN sets the Our Requirement Type to Immediate.
