Which of the following activities are part of the key process flow for Scheduling Agreements in Procurement (BMR)? Note: There are 3 correct answers to this question.

Question

Options

• AMaintain quota arrangement
• BMonitor down payment process
• CMaintain service entry sheet
• DMaintain delivery schedule
• ECreate or change scheduling agreement

• A
  87% (41)
• B
  4% (2)
• C
  9% (4)

Explanation

Scheduling Agreements in Procurement follow a defined process flow: you first Create or change a scheduling agreement (E) to establish the long-term supply arrangement with a vendor, then Maintain quota arrangement (A) to distribute procurement quantities across multiple suppliers or lines, and finally Maintain delivery schedule (D) to specify the exact timing and quantities for each delivery call-off against the agreement.

Why B and C are wrong:

• B (Monitor down payment process) belongs to the Financial Accounting or down payment workflow, not the Scheduling Agreement process flow.
• C (Maintain service entry sheet) is specific to External Services Management - it's used to confirm that services were rendered, which is irrelevant to goods-based scheduling agreements.

Memory tip: Think of the Scheduling Agreement flow as "Create → Quota → Deliver" (E → A → D). You build the agreement, split the pie (quota), then call off the slices (delivery schedule). Anything involving money advances (down payments) or service confirmation (entry sheets) belongs to completely different procurement sub-processes.
