Create contract delivery scheduled lines

The OMPCreateDeliveryScheduledLinesAgent is a time-triggered transaction agent in Sterling™ Order Management System Software that automates the creation of delivery scheduled lines for contract order lines based on the contract order line schedules.

The agent processes each defined contract order line schedule. It creates one or more delivery scheduled lines based on the recurrence plan that is defined against the specific contract order line schedule and the defined lookahead window. The scope of the agent is non-enterprise and processes all contract orders across the system. For more information, see Contract order delivery scheduled lines.

Function of the agent

Each delivery scheduled line includes an order date that is back-calculated from the requested delivery date by using a safety buffer to accommodate lead and processing times.

The following key configuration rules drive the agent behavior:
