When creating scheduling agreements you can create them with or without release documentation. Working with release documentation (type LPA) has the advantage in that at any time you can see when you sent specific scheduling information to your vendor.

If you work with scheduling agreements without release documentation (type LP), the current schedule lines are transmitted to the vendor automatically after creation using the message output control program.

If you use scheduling agreements with release documentation, the delivery schedule lines are not transmitted to the vendor automatically as soon as they are created. Instead you release the scheduling agreement. Transmission of scheduling data can take place only after you have created such a release.

Hi Sapjuly

LP is scheduling agreement

LPA means scheduling agreement with release procedure

Dear Manu,

LPA - SA with release: Shedule line will be created automatically after MRP run. This require you to defime release creation profile.

The latter is an instrument for determining which criteria are used to generate releases against a scheduling agreement and transmit them to the vendor.

You assign the creation profile to the scheduling agreement item in the additional data.

The creation profile controls the creation periodicity of the releases and - starting from the current date of release creation - the way in which the quantities are aggregated.

So, through LPA - document type, we can not be able to create delivery schedule & transmit them to vendor.

LP - is without Release. Here we can create the delivery schedule & can transmit them by assigning the output type.

Hope this resolved your issue, in tha6 case please close the issue

Thanks & Regards,
