| # To define contract deliveries by means of delivery schemes A delivery scheme is a list of time-phased deliveries based on a sales contract. To specify the time-phased deliveries, you need sales contract delivery lines that are converted to sales orders. A delivery scheme is a simplified schedule to generate sales orders in time. Example
Contract line | Sales contract delivery line | Quantity | Sales order line | Quantity
--- | --- | --- | --- | ---
100 pieces (pcs) | 01/12/2005 | 20 pcs | SOL1 01/12/2005 | 20 pcs
| 08/12/2005 | 25 pcs | SOL2 08/02/2005 | 25 pcs
| 15/12/2005 | 40 pcs | SOL3 15/12/2005 | 40 pcs
| 22/12/2005 | 15 pcs | SOL4 22/12/2005 | 15 pcs
To define contract deliveries by means of a delivery scheme, you must: Create a sales contract in the Sales Contracts (tdsls3500m000) session. Create a sales contract line in the Sales Contract Lines (tdsls3501m000) session. Choose Delivery Scheme on the appropriate menu of the Sales Contract Lines (tdsls3501m000) session. As a result, the Sales Contract Delivery Lines (tdsls3104m000) session starts. Specify the dates on which delivery must take place and the quantities to be delivered on the specified dates in the Sales Contract Delivery Lines (tdsls3104m000) session. Activate the contract line. You cannot activate a contract line if: The delivery scheme contains planned delivery dates that fall outside the contract line's effectivity period. The total delivery scheme quantity is more than the contract line's agreed quantity. If the contract line cannot be activated, you can click Check Delivery Scheme in the Sales Contract Delivery Lines (tdsls3104m000) session to check the delivery scheme and adapt it, or change the contract line. Choose Generate Sales Order on the appropriate menu of the Delivery Contract (tdpur3104m000) session to generate sales orders for the planned deliveries. This command directly generates a sales order (line) from a selected sales contract delivery line, or starts the Generate Sales Orders from Delivery Schemes (tdsls3204m000) session in which you can generate sales order (lines) for a range of sales contract delivery lines. You can only generate sales orders for the planned deliveries if both the sales contract and the sales contract line have the Active status.
