Note The Use Message Pick-up Sheet check box can only be selected if the current check box is also selected. Related topics Pick-up sheets Shipment or Delivery Based Use this field to define the date and time on which the sales schedule requirements are based. Shipment Based The sales schedule requirements are based on the date and time the goods must be shipped to the ship-to business partner. As a result, time calculations are based on the planned shipment date. Delivery Based The sales schedule requirements are based on the date and time your ship-to business partner needs the goods at the warehouse. As a result, time calculations are based on the planned receipt date. Communication Channel The way in which sales schedules must be communicated. Use Message Material Release If this check box is selected, you can receive material releases with forecasting data.

Related topics Pick-up sheets Sales schedule line requirement type Approve Referenced Sales Schedules automatically If this check box is selected, sales schedule lines that you receive for referenced schedules are automatically approved. Related topics Referenced sales schedules To approve sales schedules Automatic sales schedule processing CUM Model used Use this field to indicate what cumulative (CUM) model is used. The used CUM model determines the cumulative quantity: Your business partner provides you with. On which the adjustment quantity is based. That is used for resetting the cumulatives and authorizations. Allowed values Order Based The prior required CUM is used. Receipt Based The received CUM is used. Not Applicable Applies if the Use Message Sequence Shipping Schedule or Use Message Pick-up Sheet check box is selected. Related topics Sales schedule cumulatives Sales schedule authorizations Sales schedule adjustment Consider Planned/Actual Delivery Date during Reconciliation If this check box is selected, the planned/actual delivery date is considered when reconciling sales schedules. ERP LN calculates the shipped cumulatives based on the planned/actual delivery date. In this case, the calculation of the shipped cumulatives is as follows:
    The total shipped quantity for the sales schedule - the quantities that are
    shipped, but that are not received yet.
With this calculation, you can prevent disputes resulting from shipments that are received in a different order as in which they are shipped. These disputes are called out of sequence disputes. As a result, the Delivery Date field is filled in the Shipped CUM (tdsls3532m000) session and the Sales Schedule Reconciliation (tdsls3131m000) session. This field is filled with: The calculated receipt date when the shipment is confirmed. The actual receipt date when the shipment is received by the sold-to business partner. If this check box is cleared, the shipment date is used when reconciling sales schedules. The shipped cumulatives that are communicated when the shipment is confirmed, are inserted in ERP LN. If the shipped quantity differs from the received quantity, a dispute is always generated. ERP LN does not take into account out of sequence receipts. Related topics To reconcile sales schedules Authorizations If this check box is selected, you can use authorizations on sales schedules. Note You cannot select this check box if the Use Message Material Release check box is cleared and the Use Message Shipping Schedule check box is selected. Related topics Sales schedule authorizations FAB Period The time period, expressed in days, during which you are authorized to fabricate the items required on a sales schedule. The FAB period is calculated from the sales schedule's last release date. Note The FAB Period is mainly used as a reference, because you get the authorizations from your business partner. ERP LN only uses the FAB Period to reset FAB authorizations if the authorization method as specified in the Authorizations to be field of the current session is Reset. Related topics Sales schedule authorizations RAW Period The time period, expressed in days, during which you are authorized to buy or produce the raw materials that are needed to produce the items required on a sales schedule. The RAW period is calculated from the sales schedule's last release date. Note The RAW Period is mainly used as a reference, because you get the authorizations from your business partner. ERP LN only uses the RAW Period to reset RAW authorizations if the authorization method as specified in the Authorizations to be field of the current session is Reset. Related topics Sales schedule authorizations Authorizations to be The method that is used to reset the FAB and RAW authorizations. Allowed values Authorizations to be carried forward/reset Related topics Sales schedule authorizations Transaction Time Fence If the Use Material Release for Firm Requirements check box is selected, the transaction time fence determines, together with the Schedule Type as specified in the Sales Schedules (tdsls3111m000) session, the Requirement Type of the sales schedule line. Performance aspects The setting of this field could affect system performance and database growth. For more information, refer to Transaction time fence. Related topics Sales schedule line requirement type Nett Planned Requirements Based on the planned and firm requirements on sales schedules, available-to-promise quantities are calculated and planned supply is generated in Enterprise Planning. This field determines how to interprete the planned requirements if planned requirements and firm requirements have overlapping periods. If this check box is selected, the planned requirements are valid for the non-overlapping days. When a firm requirement is received for the sales schedule, this quantity replaces the earlier received planned quantity. If this check box is cleared, the planned requirements appear next to the firm requirements and apply to all days in the period. Planned quantities are not replaced by firm quantities, which means firm requirements and planned requirements can be available in Enterprise Planning on the same date. Note This check box is only available if the Use Message Material Release and at least one of following check boxes are selected: Use Message Shipping Schedule, Use Message Sequence Shipping Schedule, or Use Message Pick-up Sheet. Related topics Sales schedules and Enterprise Planning Linear Estimate Based on the planned and firm requirements on sales schedules, available-to-promise quantities are calculated and planned supply is generated in Enterprise Planning. If planned requirements must be netted, this parameter determines how to nett the planned quantities. If this check box is selected, the firm quantity consumes the total planned quantity in the overlapping period. This means the planned quantity in the overlapping period is ignored. ERP LN first calculates the planned requirements per day and then the planned requirements for the non-overlapping period. Therefore, the remaining planned quantity is calculated as follows:
    Planned requirements per day = planned quantity / number of days of material release period

    Planned requirements for the non-overlapping period = planned requirements per day * number of days of non-overlapping period
If this check box is cleared, the firm quantity consumes the total planned quantity. The remaining quantity is calculated as follows:
    Planned quantity - firm quantity
Note This check box can only be selected if the Nett Planned Requirements check box is also selected. The remaining quantity cannot be less than 0. If the firm quantity is more than the planned quantity, the remaining quantity is 0. Related topics Sales schedules and Enterprise Planning Distribute Planned Requirements Based on the planned and firm requirements on sales schedules, available-to-promise quantities are calculated and planned supply is generated in Enterprise Planning. If planned requirements and firm requirements have overlapping periods, this field determines whether or not the planned quantities must be spread over the working days. If this check box is selected, ERP LN spreads the planned quantity over the working days of the material release period. If this check box is cleared, ERP LN fills the first working day of the period with the total planned quantity. If the planned requirements are netted, the first working day of the non-overlapping period is taken. Note This check box can only be selected if the Use Message Material Release check box is also selected. Related topics Sales schedules and Enterprise Planning Accumulate Demand On Start Date Of The Period Based on the planned and firm requirements on sales schedules, available-to-promise quantities are calculated and planned supply is generated in Enterprise Planning. If planned requirements and firm requirements do not have overlapping periods, this field determines how to calculate quantities for the non-overlapping period. If this check box is selected, Enterprise Planning fills the first day of the material release's start date with the total quantity. If this check box is cleared, Enterprise Planning spreads the total planned quantity over the number of days between the material release's start date and end date. Note This check box can only be selected if the Use Message Material Release check box is also selected. If the Distribute Planned Requirements check box is cleared, this check box is selected and disabled. Related topics Sales schedules and Enterprise Planning Freezing Time Increase The number of days, calculated from the current date, for which you can no longer increase the quantity of required items. Frozen Period (-) The number of days, calculated from the current date, for which you can no longer reduce the quantity of required items. Sales Unit The unit in which an item is sold. Allow Over Deliveries If this check box is selected, Warehouse Management is allowed to ship an over delivery. Note Over deliveries can only be applicable if the Release to Warehouse check box is selected for the item in the Items - Sales (tdisa0501m000) session. Tolerance Type This field indicates if the tolerance for the over delivery is expressed either as a percentage or a quantity. You have the following options: Percentage The tolerance is represented as a percentage of the ordered quantity. Quantity The tolerance is a fixed quantity. No No tolerance type is applicable, because the Allow Over Deliveries check box is cleared. Action The way in which ERP LN must handle the outbound order line if a shipment does not meet the quantity tolerances. You have the following options: Warn If the maximum tolerance is exceeded, ERP LN gives a warning message to Warehouse Management. Block If the maximum tolerance is exceeded, ERP LN blocks the shipment in Warehouse Management. No ERP LN does not take any action. Maximum Tolerance The quantity or percentage the shipped quantity is allowed to exceed the ordered quantity. Note ERP LN uses this field to determine the default value of the Maximum Quantity Tolerance field in the Warehousing Orders (whinh2100m000) session and the Allowed Overdelivery Quantity field in the Outbound Order Lines (whinh2120m000) session. Percentage If the Tolerance Type field is set to Percentage, you can enter a maximum percentage of 999.99 in the current field. If you release a sales order or sales schedule to Warehouse Management, the following occurs: ERP LN defaults the percentage you entered in this field to the Maximum Quantity Tolerance field of the Warehousing Orders (whinh2100m000) session. ERP LN calculates the quantity that is allowed for an over delivery and enters this quantity in the Allowed Overdelivery Quantity field of the Outbound Order Lines (whinh2120m000) session. Quantity If the Tolerance Type field is set to Quantity and a sales order or sales schedule is released to Warehouse Management, the following occurs: ERP LN sets the value of the Maximum Quantity Tolerance field in the Warehousing Orders (whinh2100m000) session to zero. ERP LN defaults the quantity you entered in this field to the Allowed Overdelivery Quantity field of the Outbound Order Lines (whinh2120m000) session. Caution! The maximum (percentage) value of the Maximum Quantity Tolerance field in the Warehousing Orders (whinh2100m000) session can never exceed 999.99. Package Definition A particular configuration of items and their packaging. A package definition for an item can, for example, be the following: a pallet contains 12 boxes and each box contains 4 pieces. Related topics Packaging levels Carrier/LSP The company responsible for the transportation of goods to the ship-to business partner. This field is defaulted as follows: From the Sales Contracts (tdsls3500m000) session. From the Items - Sales Business Partner (tdisa0510m000) session. From the Ship-to Business Partners (tccom4111s000) session. Warehousing Order Type A code that identifies the type of a warehousing order. The default warehousing procedure that you link to a warehousing order type determines how the warehousing orders to which the order type is allocated are processed in the warehouse, although you can modify the default procedure for individual warehousing orders or order lines. Note You can only select warehousing order types of the Issue transaction type. Related topics To define warehousing order types Shipping Constraint The conditions related to the shipment of goods. Default value This field is defaulted from the Sold-to Business Partners (tccom4510m000) session. Note The following values cannot be selected: Ship Set Complete Ship Order Complete Ship Kit Complete Allowed values Shipping Constraint Ship && Carry Forward If this check box is selected, lack of item inventory results in addition of the remaining required quantity to the next planned warehouse order. If this check box is cleared, lack of item inventory results in a back order for the planned warehouse order. Note You can only define this field if the Shipping Constraint field is set to None If this check box is selected: The remaining required quantity is transferred to the earliest next planned warehouse order that can be updated for the same schedule. If the next planned warehouse order can no longer be updated, because it is released to Warehouse Management, a new planned warehouse order is created for the remaining required quantity. This new planned warehouse order is linked to the original planned warehouse order. And no next planned warehouse order can be found, the remaining required quantity for the planned warehouse order is canceled. Therefore, the Canceled Quantity is filled in the Sales Schedule Planned Warehouse Orders (tdsls3520m000) session. Note Shipping and carrying forward is not applicable for: Pick-up sheets Sequence shipping schedules Referenced schedule shipments for which the Unique Shipment Reference per Shipment check box is selected in the Warehousing Order Types (whinh0110m000) session. In these cases, the remaining required quantity for the planned warehouse order is canceled. Related topics Planned warehouse orders Delivery Pattern The delivery pattern based on which shipments for items are consolidated into pre-defined delivery moments on planned warehouse orders. If this field is filled, during sales schedule approval, ERP LN checks whether the Requirement Start Date in the Sales Schedule Planned Warehouse Orders (tdsls3520m000) session, which is retrieved from the schedule line's Start Date, must be changed into one of the delivery moments defined in the pattern. In this way, planned warehouse orders have dates that are in accordance with the desired delivery moments. Note If this field is filled, ERP LN automatically checks whether a sales schedule line can be consolidated by quantity and/or by date on a planned warehouse order. Consolidation by quantity reduces the number of planned warehouse orders. Consolidation by date does not reduce the number of planned warehouse orders, but the number of delivery moments for the sales schedule. Consolidation by date is always applied in a backward mode. A schedule line with a start date between two delivery moments is linked to a planned warehouse order with a requirement start date that is changed into the first of those two delivery moments. A delivery moment is never applied in a forward mode. If consolidation by date comes up with a delivery moment in the past for the planned warehouse order, or if no delivery moment is available that falls before the planned warehouse order's requirement start date, the schedule line's start date is taken as the planned warehouse order's requirement start date. Related topics Planned warehouse orders To consolidate schedule lines on planned warehouse orders Shelf Life [Periods] The period during which the item must at least be saleable or usable for the sold-to business partner after receipt. The shelf life is used to calculate the minimum required best before date for perishable LIFO/ FIFO items. Note When the item is shipped to the sold-to business partner, the standard LIFO/FIFO outbound policy is overruled. The best before date is called the Inventory Date in the Stock Point Inventory (whinr1540m000) session. Example The Shelf Life [Periods] is set to 4 days. If the planned receipt date for the item is Monday the first, the best before date is Friday the fifth. This means the item is at least saleable/usable until Friday the fifth. The outbound advice takes into account this Shelf Life [Periods] and only advises items for which the best before date lies 4 days after the planned receipt date at the most. Related topics Outbound advice Period for Shelf Life The unit of time in which the shelf life is expressed. Activate Activates the sales contract line logistic data. The status is changed to Active.
