Schedule Line Item (VBEP)

Former Member — Wed, 14 Apr 2010 11:00:09 GMT

Hi all,

The schedule date (VBEP-EDATU) is mandatory for sales order? When i try to create a sales order, the system automaticly create schedule date lines in VBEP for sales items. I want to make possible to fill blank schedule time for item in VBEP using exit and our entegration with production machines will fill this field in future time. I'm able to that using exit. But i don't know how this effect the processes. For example invoice or delivery or production processes.

Thanks,

Creation of delivery will be based on the Confirmed Quantity available in Schedule LInes (VBEP). I think you should have entries in VBEP inorder to make subsequent documents.

Hi,

In order to answer your question it seems more appropriate the SD forum.

However you cannot insert a blank date at schedule line level and anyway, it is not a clean solution.

There are several solutions to be adopted from a functional point of view.

I.e, during the sales order creation, you could use schedule line types CN (not relevant to MRP, no requirements, no deliveries).

Then, when the interface with production machines, provides the real date, you have to change the sales order item by insert a new CP schedule line type (relevant to MRP), but with the correct date coming from the interface.

Andrea

Thanks,

I dont delete schedule line. I only delete the VBEP-EDATU field while creating a new sales order and our machine entegration will fill this field in future time automatically before production start.

Hi,

Making EDATU as initial should not be a problem, until and unless you are not creating the subsequent document. As per your statement, you are going to fill this field later, and subsequent document will be created after that.
