Hi Guru's
While Creating the sales order............. Availability Check is done and so and so quantity is available on the machine.
now allocation comes into picture
soft and hard block.??
before confirming the sales order.......
can someone explain what is soft and hard block?

Hi,
In T.code OVZ9, for your availability checking rule and Availability check combination, you need to select value X or A, in the field Incl. release order requirements.

Standard Report - ATP Failed Sales Orders

Please let me know if there is a standard report to get the list of ATP failed sales orders.
In a case where customer requested delivery date has not confirmed and a new delivery date confirmed which leads another schedule line of the material.
My requirement is to get the list of all the ATP failed sales orders, where we have two different schedule lines for a material under Item level u2013 u2018schedule linesu2019 tab view.
Your time highly appreciated.
Thanks & Regards,
Victor.

Hi,
Proceed as below:
- Go to SE16
- Input VBEP
- Input ' 01 to 02' in Schedule Line Number field
- Input other data as per your requirement or you can add more fields in selection from settings
- Then execute
From above you can get all the documents for which there were two schedule lines generated.

ATP for sales order

Hello,
Could someone please tell me how do we determine if the client site is presently using ATP for sales order. Does OVJ9/OVJ2 tell us if they have turned the ATP check on? Any help is much appreciated.
thanks

Availability check can be turned on/off at two levels in SD.
1) In Schedule line category VOV6
2) In Requirements class OVZ9
If the checkbox is not selected in any of the above two then availability check will not happen during order processing.

APO atp on sales orders with complete delivery.

Hello all.
We run ATP in APO for sales orders on a lot of products. Often a sales order will contain many different products & often Complete delivery will be chosen. When we do the ATP check one of the products may have a long delivery time compared to the rest of the products on the order, and since we have chosen complete delivery the delivery date for the entire order will be pushed back.
Is there a way to find out which of the products in a given order causes the delay or do we have to have something coded you think?
As is the users have to remove complete delivery and then do the ATP for each of the products to find out and that's expensive timewise.
Any ideas welcome.
Regards
Simon Pedersen.

Hi Simon,
Is there any specific reason to choose "complete delivery" option. You can use delivery proposal option and this will provide delivery date to each schedule line as per material availability.
In R3 go to SPRO->Sales and distribution->baisc function->Availability Check and Transfer of Requirements->Availability Check->Availability Check with ATP Logic or Against Planning->Define Default Settings In this transaction maintain availability check rule as "C"

ATP in Sales Order

Hi ,
Can someone tell me what happens in the background when we do a ATP for a particular line item in the sales order?
Please help me with explanation. I am new to this and I need to work on this.
Thanks,
Archana.

Hi,
Basically in case of ATP check the system checks if the stock is avaliable for your Sales Order quantity that can be delivered to a customer or not.
If it is avaliable then it does a Backward scheduling and then calculates the material avaliability date based on parameters like Pack time,Load time,Transit time and transport time.
If the stock is not avaliable then it does a forward scheduling and calculates the material avalaibility date.If you have kept the replenishmnet lead time on then it considers that time in the calculation as well.
Also the calculations are based on total outward movements like sales order,deliveries,reservations and total inward movements like PO,Purchase requsition.The system calculates the net out of the outward and inward movements.

ATP after Sales Order Line Item Configuration

Hello experts,
I have a question regarding the ATP at the time of Sales Order entry. I am in the process of creating a technical spec for creation of program that looks at the lowest level of BOM explosion. Here are the details:
1) It is a MTO environment using VC BOMs and Routings.
2) At the time of Sales Order entry, and after the line item is configured, the user must have the visibility of the raw material resulted from BOM explosion before Sales Order is saved.
3) What my issue is how to retrieve the lowest level of BOM explosin as a result of SO line item configuration.
I appreciate any lead that can be provided.
Newoxford

Sorry for a partial post. Some button !
Hello Newoxford
Did not quite get your issue.
How the sales order item is exploded depends on the Config Profile (VA42) for that material. In the tab ' Confign Initial screen' and subtab " Confign Parameters' , you have the ability to specify multilevel BOM explosion. Also in the item cat , you need to specify the structure scope as B-Explode multi-level bill of material.
If you do this, after the item is configured in the order, it will be exploded as needed.
With respect to ATP, do you want to check the lowest level for availability? if so, that item should be relevant for delivery and should have appropriate Sched Line and all the requisite config.
And my question to you is all this is through config, master data etc, then what are you trying to accomplish with your program?

ATP Check - Sales order

Dear All
Our company requirement is not to save the sales order if stock is not available for any of the line item. This requirement is for specific order type or item catagories.
Currently system is saving the order even if quantity is not available.
Can you please help me how to configure the same in SAP.
Regards
K.C Choudhury

hi,
ATP Check is checking of availablty quantities i.e ATP = Total Warehouse Stock + Planned receipts(Incoming Stock) - Planned Issues (Out going stock)
Availbilty Check is an integral part of business process it determines the if the desire deliverible quantity can be met on requested delivery date or not.Then it passes to Material Requirement Planning. Or
avability check is nothing but checking of availibility of stock which is placed in the order , sys carries out this check through a available to promise (ATP)
When we create a sales order, there are several basic functions which are executed automatically for the dynamic order management . among these basic functions , availability check and transfer of requirements are crucial.
the system first prepares schedule line containing the information on the desired delivery date and quantities , this information is passed to MRP and an avialability check and transfer of requiremnts are executed
First the system carries out backward scheduling and establishes the material avaialbility date = desired delivery date-transit time-loading time-picking & packing time and on this date an availability check is carried out using ATP logic which means avialable to promise quanity =total ware house stock+incoing orders-outgoing
along with the avialability check the requirements also are transferred to MRP.
the configuration involves following
1. switching on at schedule line catagegory the avialability check and TOR
2. configure the avilability check using ATP and using the checking group and Checking rule

ATP FROM Sales Order

Hi
I am using 11.5.3.
Whenever i am taking a user defined item in my sales order the global atp shows quantity in the shipping organization and shows ERROR message : ATP not applicable.
Any help will be appriciated
Thanks
Anshuj

Ann,
This is a common practice, and I don't think that the business process is unreasonable.
1. Remove the special procurement key from the RWHS Material Master
2. Change Material Master in the RWHS to X procurement.
3. Set your RWHS Material Master 'Total Replenishment Lead time'
Next step assumes that the company codes are the same between RWHS and Manufacturing Plant.
4. Create Purchase Info Record for the RWHS material, that points to the vendor of the Manufacturing plant
5. Create quota arrangement in which 100 percent of the quota comes from the Manufacturing Plant Purchase Info Record, and is MRP relevant
6. Insert a step after the RWHS MRP run where the Planned orders are immediately converted to Purchase requisitions.
Business process:
a. Sales order is entered. ATP checks RWHS stock and excess inbound.
b. If inadequate supply, then ATP confirms to Total Replenishment Lead time (and not planned delivery time).
c. MRP runs; creates a planned order for the shortage.
d. New step in MRP job converts the Planned order to a Purchase req. Purchase req is sourced via the quota arrangement
e. Purchase Req requirement (Manufacturing plant) is offset by the Planned delivery time to accommodate transit duration.
f. Purchase req demand now places a requirement on the Manufacturing plant, with dates and quantities that will support the Sales order in the RWHS.
g. Convert the Purchase Req to a STO once the stock appears in the Manufacturing Plant.

ATP for sales orders created with BAPI_SALESORDER_CREATEFROMDAT2

We use BAPI_SALESORDER_CREATEFROMDAT2 to create sales orders (from external EDI system). How can I use this BAPI to perform availability-to-promise checking? If it can't be done is there another function module I can use where I pass a sales order number and it performs ATP on the entire order or individual lines? thanks for any help.

Hi,
Please check BAPI BAPI_MATERIAL_AVAILABILITY.

ATP for sales orders

Hi,
Does anybody know how to switch off ATP ONLY for Sales Orders?
Customer would like to have ATP for deliveries, but not for sales orders. This means whatever delivery date will be entered during SO creation, system will accept it without ATP. On the other hand if there is nothing on stock system should create delivery with "delivered qty" = 0
The only transaction which connects ATP type (02 in this case) with checking rule (here: A- Sales order) is OVZ9. But I cannot switch off ATP there. I can only define different settings for sales order and delivery.
If I change settings in OVZ0, then it will switch off ATP for both: sales order and delivery
Customer has only one requirement class ZXX, so in OVZ) I can switch off ATP, but unfrotunatelly for both (sales order and delivery).
In standard I see requirement type 031 (Order requirements) and 011 (Delivery requirement), so I think this is the way I should go.
I've checked SPRO here:
Availability Check and Transfer of Requirement --> Transfer of Requirements --> Determination of Requiremenr Types Using Transaction.
The problem is that for one item category I can assign only one requirement type (ZXX in this case).
How do I switch off ATP only for sales orders?
Is it possible?
regards
Rafal

Dear Rafal,
If your requirement is "whatever delivery date will be entered during SO creation, system will accept it"
then try this,
Go to IMG-SD-Basic Function-Delivery Scheduling & Transportation Scheduling-Define Scheduling by Sales Doc Type.
Select the Sales Doc type & make the "Delivery Sch" field blank.
By this the system will accept the date whatever you put. (for that sales Doc type only)
Pls let me know, whether the problem is solved or not.
Thanks

Enquiry of ATP in sales order

Dear experts,
In the sales order, I can view the availability when clicking availability check. There're two fields, like "delivery", "confirmed delivery". I create the delivery for the sales order. But those two fields does not get updated.
What does those fields mean by? What's the usage of them? Plz advise. Many thanks.

Confirmed Quantity
When you create a sale order for a material and if stock is made available for that, this column will get filled to the extent of stock available. The control is in your schedule line category VOV6 where you can see a field "Availability". You have to tick this box.
Delivered quantity
This is based on your copy control VTLA where for your item category, you can see two fields, viz.Update document flow and Pos./neg.quantity. You have to tick the box for Update document flow and maintain plus sign to the next field.
thanks

ATP in Sales order to consume Mat Reservations for Sold to & not Sales Orde

Hello All,
Is there a way to consume the material Reservations made through T code MB21 for a recepient using 251 Mvmnt type, In MMBE this is visible in Reserved Stock, How can i consume from this Reservation, I made the requisite changes in the Availability check only the reservations i checked that Box, but was not able to achieve the desired result. The idea behind this trial is to avoid usage Of product allocarions as it is a cumbersome process, just with the change of the Item category i should be able to switch between Unrestricted and Reserved stock but i am failing somewhere do i need special MRP type to consume the reserved stock?? Customer Consignements involve 2 steps, If SAP has mentioned the check box reservations in Checking rule there should be a way to consume those Reservations is it not? or do reservation in checking rule mena something else??
Any Advice from revered people out there is welcome.
Regards
Sri

Well I appreciate the Answer, That means to say I am creating a multiple steps in the system, and there are 2 steps involved,
Instead of that I should be somehow able to make the ATP check consider only reservations made through MB21 into consideration when i change the Item Catgeroy, when it is normal TAN it should be consuming form Unrestricted stock, if I tem category is changed to Ex:- ZEAS, system should consume from the Reserved stock. That is what i am looking forward to .
Hint:- Configuring MRP types, Strargey types are intinamtely linked to ATP fucntionality looking for help in that Direction.

Error in APO ATP check sales order

While executing GATP chesck in the R/3 system we are getting this message.
Error in calling up function 'BAPI_APOATP_CHECK' in APO server 'C16CLNT300': Screen output without connection to user.
Please help us in this issue.
Thanks &Regards,
Rajesh.A

Check the following settings.
1.SM59 for ur logical system try out the remote connection.
2.In BF11 check whether you have maintained the ND-APO plug in.
2.Check the check mode in ur product master and alos the checking instruction setings.

GATP: Unable to check ATP (in GATP) when creating sales order in R/3

Issue:
When doing ATP check (sales order) in R/3, I am able to see only availability screen of R/3 and not APO ATP screen. In other words ATP check is performed in R/3 and not in APO (GATP).
Simulation ATP check in APO works fine.
Environment: ATP is enabled in APO, Relevant ATP categories, ATP groups and master data transferred from R/3 to APO. CIF models to transfer SO data and other master data set up.
Appreciate your inputs.

Hi Madhu,
There can be multiple reasons why it does not go to APO.
Two of the most common overlooked points are:
1. ATP tick in integration model.
2. Activation of ATP in external system: this is done in SPRO in the data transfer section.
Another common point is cheking rule: In SPRO see that your business event(SO) is enabled for ATP check.
Also you can go to transaction CO09 for ATP simulation in R/3 .
Hope it helps. Otherwise you can revert with specific questions.

The delivery date in Sales Order VA01

Hi,
I am wondering how the sales order process goes in term of business given that I am not an SD person.
Normally, when a customer rep receive a sales order, the customer will request the date in which the goods are require.
Thus, during the sales order creation, the person will key in the material, order quantity, and the delivery date.
Example, customer wants the goods to deliver on Nov 25th 2011
My confusion arise when the ATP check (i.e. the three section proposal date) find out that the goods are only available on December 10th 2011. Thus, the committed schedule line with committed quantity is copied from the ATP proposal screen to the 2nd scheduline line item with delivery date as Dec 10th, and the committed quantity. The following is the VA01 screen
Schedule Line tab of item detail view:
Dely Date -
OrderQty----CommitQty
11.10.2011--3--
0
18.10.2011--0--
3
Sales Order Overview screen:
MaterialOrderQty-itemCat-FirstDate -
Plant
10000----2pcTAN11.10.2011-----AU01
Question.
1 - Do you feedback to the customer saying that the Delivery Date that can reach you is 11.10.2011 or 18.11.2011?
tuff

hi tuffy,
here system will check ATP while sales order and confirm delivery date,if u r making sales order on 11.10.2011 but system will confirm delivery date in schedule line.
u can take ur msg reference where system is taking order on 11.10.2011 and confirm qty for delivery on 18.11.2011 so customer delivery date would be 18.10.2011.
