Sales Scheduling Agreements (3NR)
The sales scheduling agreement is an outline agreement between the buyer and supplier. Forecast and JIT (Just-in-Time) delivery schedules are sent via EDI. These delivery schedules contain the delivery dates and quantities. The whole communication is based on cumulative quantities between buyer and supplier.
Planning delivery schedules can be generated to smooth the demand handed over to production.
The shipping specialist creates deliveries based on open quantities in the delivery outbound monitor.
After the completion of picking, the shipping specialist posts goods issue. This posting is the actual recording of the physical quantity that is being shipped to the customer.
With the goods issue posting, revenue is recognized and cost of goods sold is recorded in Financial Accounting.
Advanced shipping notifications are sent via EDI to the buyer.
Once goods are delivered, you can invoice the delivery. An EDI invoice message is sent to the buyer.
