The document describes the process for scheduling agreements for subcontracting procurement in SAP S/4 HANA. Key steps include creating a finished product and raw material, a BOM, a production version, a scheduling agreement, delivery schedules, goods receipts and issues, an invoice, and monitoring delivery schedule status. Using scheduling agreements can shorten process times and reduce paperwork compared to discrete purchase orders by replacing many POs with a single delivery schedule.

Scheduling Agreement for Subcontracting Procurement in SAP S4 HANA
The use of scheduling agreements can shorten processing times and reduce the amount of
paperwork you are faced with. One delivery schedule can replace many discrete purchase orders or
contract release orders.
A purchase requisition of type Outline Agreement Requisition can be created with subcontracting
line items (Item Category – L Subcontracting) manually by a requestor. The purchase requisition can
be converted into a scheduling agreement or else we can create manually . The scheduling
agreement is subject to approval based on predefined parameters before you generate delivery
schedule or schedule lines (manually or via MRP run) and communicate them to the subcontractor.
With the supply of the finished material, the goods receipt is created. The invoicing process is then
triggered.
Let’s see the process

existing purchase requisition. You have to enter the components for every delivery schedule.
