Firm or Trade-Off Zone Indicator not set

[PrashantG]

Hi

I have created the scheduling agreement and run the MRP by this the schedule lines are generated but the system has not set Firm or Trade-Off Zone Indicator how do I go head? IS there any customization/master data required to set the this indicator?

Please suggest.

Regards,

Prashant.

This depends a bit on how you communicate to your vendors.

Assuming EDI, then the message to the vendor will contain a few date fields

A. ABFDE End of production go-ahead

Which is the 'end' of the FIRM ZONE

B. ABMDE End of material go-ahead

Which is the 'end' of the TRADEOFF ZONE.

Upon receipt the vendors system will recognize these dates.

Assuming printout, you need to work in SAP-Script/Smartform to detail the effect of these date on your print.

Either by also mentioning these in the item header (remember each item has an unique FZ/ToZ setting). Or by using special markers on the date lines, based on these dates.

Hi JP,

Thanks for the answer.

I am not using EDI method, I will be sending the document as a soft copy (PDF copy).

My actual problem is once after the MRP runs only schedule lines are created and the line items donu2019t have the firm or trade off zone flag.

How do I flag the schedule line as a firm order or a tradeoff order?
