Dear Gurus
Here is the client requirement for Planning and Procurements of FGS and Raw materials.( Process Industry)
1) Client will make sales Contract VA41 for FG in which they will create schedule line for item with delivery date in Month format with Quantity.
From VA41 sales contract creation , they want their RMS to be Procured but NO MRP should be run or impacted for Final Assembly. In short, they dont want Planned Order for FG to be generated bases on Sales Contract.

2) After sometime, they receive firm PO from customer So, they will again run t code VA41, will click on'' Create with Reference'' and put their earlier Contract Number, and copy it . Here, they will mention their actual Po quantity in the Target Quantity Field.

This will give them a Qty Variance between customer's purchase order and the sales documents created. ( Forecast vs Actual)

3) Again with Reference of Customer PO, they will make sales order from VA01.

So, in short FG production will be purely sales Order driven and Raw material Procurement will be purely Sales Contract Driven

Is this doable in standard SAP or some enhancement needs to be done? I have posted this in PP forum but didn't get the response due to SD critical integration with MRP in passing the requirements.
Appreciate your reply

Thanks

Shailesh

Can you reconfirm this statement is correct?  You should be aware there will be no schedules lines in contract and this being the case, how come your client is creating schedule lines ?

Hello,

In sales contract, VA41, you can create schedule line for item in Month or date format and split your quantity over there. I am attaching the screen shots. May be i am not so much aware from SD side about it but you can create schedule lines.

I know you can force the system to have schedule line based on your item category settings.  But in standard, schedule lines are not made available for contracts

Also in your original post, you mention about quantity change in contract manually which is also not a good practice.  That is why SAP has recommended to go with creation of subsequent sale order where you can change the quantity.

Dear Shailesh,

two points.

1.If yourclient will plan the things based on sales order--then what is the purpose of  creating Contract document that to with schedule lines

2.you cannot have schedule lines for contracts--that is the reason there will be a release order for contracts.(might be the description looks like contract--but acting like a sales order,check your Sales document category and transaction group in VOV8 along with item category settings(schedule lines allowed field)

Note: In your case might be configured wrongly,definitely not a good practise.

hi,

you can control this with Schedule lines,requirement class,requirement type.

in contracts you can stop availability check and stop the Requirements passing.

you can activate it in the sales order
