Common Parts Unloading Point Via Scheduling Agreement

[ravishankar_ramanan]

Hello SAP Gurus,

Requirement is, there are two business taken  care in the same plant code. Purchase of parts is done via scheduling agreement.

Challenge here is 'Mat A' is a common part and thus used by both business. The SA for 'Mat A' for a particular storage location is ordered from vendor and on receiving the 'Mat A' to the corresponding Storage location is later transferred to desired storage location which is required by the 2nd business.

So this is including lot of manpower.

Business feels, if the Common part 'Mat A' could be delivered at different staging areas and vendor is aware to which is he delivering will be good.

I see an option of Unloading point under additional data of Scheduling agreement, could that be good use.

Can someone help in guding on how this could be carried out which allows 'Mat A' though corresponds to SA & Stloc but delivered to 2 different staging areas will be sufficient.

you would need to separate the planning per storage location, so that you get 2 requisitions instead of just one.

then you could have 2 schedule lines with individual delivery addresses per storage location

From your text "staging area" it has to be assumed that this is just 2 different places in one location, not kilometers apart or even different cities, so why don't you just tell the driver to unload x here and y there?

Halo Juergen,

In this business, the purchasing document (scheduling agreement or PO) is created from a different legacy system and flows to SAP. Purchasing activity is taken care by a different system.

Staging area is in the same location. Any other solution, could there be any chance like the below illustration

SA# 5500000000

DD                Qty            Stagng area #

15.01.2015      15               X

15.01.2015       10              Y

The same info requires to be triggered via SA release to vendor and accordingly communication is carried out.

Why don't you just put this info into the long text?

At the end it is anyway the CSR of your vendor who has to copy this info into their sales order, otherwise the carrier will never know, since the driver usually doesn't get a copy of your PO.

Hello again,

The text is already maintained and proposed.. similarly the vendor has been educuated on the same.

But, we would like to get a system wise visibility as I believe long text cannot be viewed from table.

Any possibility via the unloading point under additional data of Scheduling agreement

[JL23]

In any case you would need 2 items in the schedule agreement, so you can as well use a delivery address per item.

ok, I shall check.

As the SA is created from legacy system based on a customized txn for PR creation.

Need to check if customized PR could accommodate two line#.

I shall check with the developer.

This was taken care though different document types and schedules were released via development of vendor portal.
