Enter Supplier Schedule Agreement Part Header

Explanation

Use this activity to enter a supplier schedule agreement part header, i.e., to further define supplier schedule management options at the part level. Agreement level defaults can be overwritten by the tolerance checking and generate options.

The supplier schedule agreement consists of two parts: the supplier schedule agreement and the supplier schedule agreement part.

On the supplier schedule agreement, enter the terms and conditions valid for the complete agreement. These agreement defaults are used only to save time by avoiding duplicate entry for each agreement part, where the controlling values are actually kept. Note: Changes here do not affect the schedule flow; only changes made on agreement parts can.

On the supplier schedule agreement part, enter the default terms and conditions valid for the specific part. If the terms and conditions are identical for all parts connected to the agreement, you should enter most of the data in the Supplier Schedule Agreement window and add the necessary data in the Agreement Order tab in the Supplier Schedule Agreement Part window. If the terms and conditions are different for each part, you should enter most of the data in the Supplier Schedule Agreement Part window.

An agreement can have any of the following status: Planned, Active, Negotiated, or Closed.

• The Planned status means that the agreement is being entered and will be changed to active whenever it is ready for use.
• The Active status means that the agreement can be used.
• The Negotiated status means that the agreement needs to be renegotiated, i.e., in case some methods or policies need to be revised after the agreement has been activated.
• The Closed status means that the agreement has expired.
