Scheduling Agreement (SA) is a long-term procurement contract where you, as the buyer, agree with a vendor on the supply of materials over a specific period. It's like setting up a subscription service for your materials:
- Flexibility: Instead of creating multiple purchase orders, you have one agreement outlining the terms, quantities, and delivery schedules.
- Efficiency: Streamlines the procurement process, reducing administrative workload.
- Continuity: Ensures a consistent supply chain flow, crucial for production planning.
a. How MRP Fits In
MRP is the engine that drives the scheduling process:
- Demand Calculation: Analyzes production schedules, inventory levels, and open orders.
- Net Requirements: Determines the exact quantities needed to meet production goals.
- Schedule Line Generation: Automatically creates lines in the scheduling agreement for the calculated requirements.
For MRP to generate schedule lines:
- Flag as MRP-Relevant: In the scheduling agreement item details, ensure the material is marked for MRP.
Scenario: You manage procurement for a manufacturing company that needs a steady supply of Component X.
Step-by-Step Process
Establish Scheduling Agreement
- Terms: Agree with Vendor A for the supply of Component X over a year.
- Conditions: Price per unit, delivery terms, payment conditions.
- Forecasted Demand: MRP calculates that you need 1,000 units per month.
- Schedule Lines: Automatically created in ME38.
- FRC Generated
- JIT Generated
- Output via EDI: Release documentation sent automatically to Vendor A.
- Production Planning: Adjusts their schedules to meet your demands.
- Logistics Coordination: Plans shipment dates to align with your JIT schedule.
- Changes in Demand: If MRP identifies increased need, new releases are generated.
- Vendor Communication: Vendor receives updated releases, adjusts accordingly.
