Definition

Use

Definition

Indicates the percentage by which the scheduled quantities of the next scheduling agreement release to be transmitted may vary from the scheduled quantities of the last-transmitted SA release before the next release is actually created.

Use

You can define tolerance limits for a maximum of three checking periods.

As a rule, you will define smaller tolerance limits for the near future and larger ones for the more distant future.

Prerequisites

The tolerance check is only performed when agreement lines have been changed, and when the creation strategy allows that releases are created due to changed agreement lines (Creation strategy 'Changed' on tab page Gen. parameters).

Dependencies

In order that SA releases are only created in the event of major changes to the current overall schedule, the system can carry out a tolerance check when the release creation report is run (Scheduling agreement -> Create release).

For this purpose, you must use a creation profile causing releases to be generated in the event of changes to the overall schedule in the system. The tolerance check begins with the date of release creation or at a later date if there is an overdelivery.

In carrying out the tolerance check, the system can take into account each individual schedule line, or the total scheduled quantity for a checking period:

  • If the creation profile provides for an individual check, the system checks every single schedule line within the checking period to see whether the new scheduled quantity varies from the scheduled quantity already transmitted to the vendor.

  • If the creation profile provides for an overall check for a checking period, the total quantity of all the lines of the next schedule to be transmitted is compared with the already-transmitted total scheduled quantity for this period.

If the values determined are beyond the specified tolerance, an SA release is created.

Note

The system never checks tolerances in the case of releases created due to changes which contain an immediate requirement.

For more information, see the documentation Purchasing (MM-PUR), section Creation Profile.
