Scheduling Agreements
Scheduling agreements are framework agreements that run over a longer period of time and are agreed for specific articles. Within the contract period, the customer repeatedly creates delivery schedules. Delivery schedules contain delivery dates with the associated delivery schedule lines, which are based on the requirements of the respective plant. In conjunction with the firming periods 1 and 2, the vendor recognizes which delivery schedule lines are binding and which serve as a preview. By using scheduling agreements, storage costs can be minimized. The supplier can, through the preview quantities, better plan his production and adjust it to the needs of the respective plant.
With SAP integration, you have the option of importing scheduling agreements and the associated delivery schedules into Onventis via an interface.
Under Operative Purchasing → Scheduling Agreements you can see a list of all imported scheduling agreements.
