Scheduling Agreement - Cannot Release, cant create message in LPA

[Former Member]

Hello,

I have gone through all the threads on Scheduling Agreement but could not find the answer to the problem I am facing.

I created scheduling agreement through LP, everything went through smooth.

Now while create scheduling agreement through LPA, I am facing these problems, I cannot create output message while using ME38, but can create message through ME32L, but message output through me32L just creates printout of required quantity, no line items printed on it, and when I try to create output message through ME38 the message window comes in display mode, whereas while creating output message through LP, it allowed me to configure it. So first question, how can I enter my output setting in ME38 where SA is created through LPA.

Secondly document is created through LPA, but I cannot release it through ME84. I followed all the required settings, but its not letting me release the document, the traffic light is constant RED. Any ideas?

Lastly, No GR. Going through forum messages, I learnt that until the document is not released I cannot do GR. The dates of lines I changed it to post date, even behind the post date, but its still coming up as document doesnot have selectable items. Please help

Thanks/Afshad

Hi

The output message in ME38 would be in non editable mode.

You need to goto the JIT / FRC release generated & then you can see the output message.

To generate the release against the LPA scheduling agreement you need to ensure following

1. The material master purchaisng view you should select JIT indicator.

2. Assign the creation profile in the scheduling agreement in ME32L

3. Ensure that the output message condition records for output types LPJ1 / LPH1 maintained.

Now run ME84 to generate the release.

After the release you will find the output in ME38 for the release.

Hello Prasand,

Your answer was helpful, but all these steps mentioned by you were already followed by me. My one question got answered there, why I get the messages in ME38 in uneditable format, but when I use ME84 for SA release, the result comes up in Red, and there I dont see any option to go further. Am I missing any step before it?

I clicked on List>Print Preview, the messages of JIT are there, then I click List> Print, dialog box comes up asking Output Device, I use default device LP01 there and then when I click OK message comes up Spool request (number 0000005941) created without immediate output and the problem remains no Sa released. Any help?

3. Ensure that the output message condition records for output types LPJ1 / LPH1 maintained.

Is this line refering to Customizing>MM>Purchasing>Messages>Output control>conditions tables?Define Condition tables, if yes I dont know how to configure this and havent read anywhere how to get this part configured.

I configured Output control>Messages Determination Schemas>Define messages schemas for SA>Define Message determination schemas, there in control data, i put LPJ1 and LPH1 requirements as 105 which is for delivery schedule, earlier it was pointing to 109 and 111, then Assign Schema: Sa release/expiditer I checked the R indicator. Am I correct?

I guess without the SA release, I cannot do the GR against my SA as when I do GR it gives message no selectable items.

Problem solved. In ME38, click on line item and then click edit>Generate Forc.Sch and then click edit>Generate JIT schedule, then click on line item then click item>Sa Release Documentation, on that page you will see Rel No. 1 click on that then click message per release, on that page configure your release and once saved, you can output your message and do GR and IR against SA if GR date it on or before the current date.

hi,

yes this way is correct but before that you have to assign release creation profile in vendor master record.

kind regards

I'm having a similar problem, the traffic light always seems to be yellow in ME39 Item>SA release documentation.

I have printed my schedule release paperwork (LPH1 output type) but it still remains yellow. There also only ever seems to be 2 releases in this screen (0 and 1), regardless of how many times I amend the delivery schedule and create the release documentation with ME84.

I also cant GR it in MIGO, the error message is there are no selectable lines. Are these 2 issues related perhaps?

On the contract the GR flag's ticked and the first delivery is due today.

Thanks in advance
