The following schedule line types are possible in delivery schedules created under scheduling agreements: backlog, immediate requirement, and forecast.
Examples of schedule line types
You purchase the material Steel 01 from Miller Corp. using a scheduling agreement previously set up with this vendor.
BACKLOG
Your scheduling agreement release dated 05.20 contains the following schedule lines:
Date Quantity
05.20.1999 10 kg
05.21.1999 20 kg
Since today is 05.21.1999 and your vendor did not deliver the quantity required on 05.20, the latter quantity represents a backlog, a past-due requirement.
IMMEDIATE REQUIREMENT
According to the current overall delivery schedule for the scheduling agreement, instead of the 20 kg shown in the last SA release, you require 200 kg of Steel 01 today. You create a schedule line for 180 kg for transmission to the vendor.
Because you have not transmitted this additional requirement to the vendor, the 180 kg represents an immediate requirement.
The remaining 20 kg constitute a backlog.
FORECAST
According to the current overall delivery schedule for the scheduling agreement, you need 300 kg of Steel 01 on each of the dates 05.22, 05.25, and 05.28.
Because today is 05.21 and the dates on which these quantities are required are in the future, the schedule line type in these cases is "forecast" - that is, these are anticipated future requirements.
