Enter Supplier Schedule Line, Manually

Explanation

Use this activity to manually enter a supplier schedule line.

The supplier schedule is entered in two steps: the header and then the schedule lines.

The schedule header contains general information about the schedule such as the supplier, schedule type, site, part number, and validity dates for the schedule. The supplier schedule can adopt a variety of status depending on how the flow is set up. The lines are used for indicating the desired quantities and dates for the part in question. Schedule lines can be generated automatically by the system from the template (if desired) when saving the schedule header.

Prerequisites

• A supplier schedule header must be entered.
• The dock code and subdock code must be entered as basic data in IFS/Purchasing if you want to specify the information on the line.
• The location must be entered as an inventory location in IFS/Inventory if you want to specify the information on the line.
• Line types must be defined in basic data for supplier schedules.
