| # Purchase schedule release types If purchase schedules are used, schedule release types must be defined, based on which a purchase release is sent. In the Release Type field of the Purchase Contract Line Logistic Data (tdpur3102m000) session and the Items - Purchase Business Partner (tdipu0110m000) session, you must choose one of the following release types: Material Release Only a material release is sent. Shipping Schedule Both a material release and a shipping schedule are sent. Sequence Shipping Schedule Both a material release and a sequence shipping schedule are sent. Shipping Schedule Only Only a shipping schedule is sent. Note You can only choose the Material Release type for push schedules and the Sequence Shipping Schedule type for pull schedules. In the Purchase Contract Line Logistic Data (tdpur3102m000) session and/or the Items - Purchase Business Partner (tdipu0110m000) session, you must also enter segment set(s). Which segment set(s) can be entered depends on the chosen release type. A segment set consists of several segments, which in turn, are linked to requirement types. Dependent on the release type and the applicable requirement type, specific EDI messages can be generated in time when sending the purchase release to the supplier. Note Because pull call-off schedule lines are not clustered and are automatically converted to purchase release line details with the status Scheduled, no segment sets are used. As a result, the requirement type is always Firm. For push schedules lines, requirement types in the Purchase Schedule - Lines (tdpur3111m000) session are calculated during the regeneration process, which you can perform in the Regenerate Schedules (tdpur3211m000) session. The requirement types in the Purchase Release Line - Details (tdpur3522m000) session are directly calculated from the schedule's applicable segment set and issue pattern, as stored in the Purchase Contract Line Logistic Data (tdpur3102m000) session and/or the Items - Purchase Business Partner (tdipu0110m000) session. As a result, if you do not regenerate the schedule line, the value of the Requirement Type field in the Purchase Schedule - Lines (tdpur3111m000) session is the same as the value of the Requirement Type field in the Purchase Release Line - Details (tdpur3522m000) session. Which schedule lines are included when you generate release lines in the Generate Release Lines (tdpur3222m000) session, depends on the push schedule's release type. For example, if the release type is defined as Shipping Schedule Only, no material release is created, so the purchase release does not contain Planned release lines.

Release Type | Linked Requirement Type | Linked EDI messages (BEMIS)

Material Release | Planned | BEM MRL001
Material Release | Firm | BEM MRL001
Material Release | Immediate | BEM MRL001
The Material Release release type is only used by push schedules and only generates the EDI message BEM MRL001. As a result, shipping is performed based on the EDI message BEM MRL001, but only for those schedule lines whose requirement type is Firm or Immediate.

Shipping Schedule | Firm | BEM SHP001
Shipping Schedule | Immediate | BEM SHP001
The Shipping Schedule release type generates both material releases (EDI message BEM MRL001) and shipping schedules (EDI message BEM SHP001). The schedule lines in a material release are released for planning purposes only. The shipping schedule only releases schedule lines whose requirement type is Firm or Immediate. Planned schedule lines are not included in the release. Shipping is performed based on the EDI message BEM SHP001.

The Shipping Schedule Only release type only generates shipping schedules. No planning data is released to the supplier. The shipping schedule only releases schedule lines whose requirement type is Firm or Immediate. Schedule lines with the Planned requirement type are not included in the release. Shipping is carried out based on the EDI message BEM SHP001. Relation between release type, requirement type, and EDI message for pull schedules with release type set to Shipping Schedule

A pull forecast schedule only generates material releases (EDI message BEM MRL001) that contain Planned lines. EDI message BEM MRL001 is released for planning purposes only. The pull call-off schedule generates the shipping schedule, releasing all the schedule lines whose requirement type is Firm or Immediate. Shipping is performed based on the EDI message BEM SHP001.

The Sequence Shipping Schedule release type is only used by pull schedules and generates the EDI messages BEM MRL001 and BEM SEQ001. A pull forecast schedule only generates material releases (EDI message BEM MRL001) that contain Planned lines. EDI message BEM MRL001 is released for planning purposes only. The pull call-off schedule only generates sequence shipping schedules and releases all the schedule lines whith the Firm or Immediate requirement type. Shipping is performed based on the EDI message BEM SEQ001. Relation between release type, requirement type, and EDI message for pull schedules with release type set to Shipping Schedule Only
Release Type | Linked Requirement Type | Linked EDI messages (BEMIS)

The pull call-off schedule generates the shipping schedule, releasing all the schedule lines, which are always Firm or Immediate. No planning data is released to the supplier. Shipping is performed based on the EDI message BEM SHP001. Note EDI messages are only generated if the value of 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.
