How can I activate LZM + TAM combination in SAP Public Cloud?

[Toma44]

Hello experts,

I need to activate Scheduling agreement LZM with subsequent delivery order TAM which will be referring to each other through Document flow to keep track of the cumulative quantity in SAP Public Cloud. I did not find any Scope item for those documents activation and it is quite essential for the sales processes in automotive. Could you please advise how to activate this functionality?

Dear @Toma44,

In Public Cloud you generally can’t activate the ECC automotive pair LZM (SA with delivery orders), TAM (delivery order) as a dedicated document-flow chain the way you know it from ECC. That LZM/TAM flow is a classic Scheduling Agreements with Delivery Orders concept from SAP Private /on-premise documentation, not a Public Cloud scope-item switch.

What you can do in Public Cloud and still keep cumulative quantities + traceability:

Option A: Scope item 3NR Sales Scheduling Agreements

This is the Public Cloud-supported way to run automotive-style SSA processes with cumulative quantities and follow-on logistics without a TAM layer. Sales Scheduling Agreements in Public Cloud explicitly support cumulative quantities

How to activate:

1. Add scope item 3NR
2. In the Pubic Cloud system use the scheduling agreement apps (create/change/display) and set up delivery schedule processing

Integration / EDI note (important for automotive):
Public Cloud typically expects delivery schedule integration via the provided services (not classic IDoc processing). The Delivery Schedule of Sales Scheduling Agreement interface exists for receiving/updating delivery schedules

Cumulative quantity corrections:
If you ever need to realign cumulative figures, Public Cloud supports correcting cumulative delivered quantities via correction deliveries in the scheduling agreement context

Resulting document flow:
Sales Scheduling Agreement ->Outbound Delivery->PGI->Billing
Your cumulative quantities are tracked on the scheduling agreement so you still get the control you need JUST without a TAM document in between

Option B: Scope item 2EM Just-In-Time Supply to Customer

If your TAM usage is really about JIT execution, check whether your target process is actually 2EM Just-In-Time Supply to Customer which is explicitly positioned for JIT supply scenarios

More details below:

Summary:

• Exact ECC-like LZM->TAM activation not available as a Public Cloud scope-item feature
• Closest supported Public Cloud design activate 3NR and optionally 2EM if you do JIT, then run SSA->Outbound Delivery with cumulative quantities on the SSA
