Availability check for configurable material while creation of sale order

Hi Experts,
Does anyone know how stock can be viewed for configurable materials.
Does ATP work at the time of Sales order to check for material avaialablity based on the variant in the sales order ?
Regards
Chandru

Dear Sir,
Sorry for the delayed reply. I was in long leave.
My scenario is same like Material variant.
This is my requirement. Whether this is possible or not.
To check stock of machine nearest to configured specs or lead time.It should indicate the percentage of material in production stock & lead time for manufacturing the same. & also we should be able to link production order number in sale order manually.
Please guide me to sort out this issue.

Availability check for configurable material.

Hi,
We are implementing SAP ECC-6 & facing
issue during availability check for
configurable materials.
I'd like to take an example of
computer for better understanding.
Will consider Computer as super BOM and
following 2 as BOM:-
BOM-1. a)Monitor b) Cpu c)Key
Board d)Scroll Mouse e)With
Mouse Pad.
BOM_2. a)Monitor b) Cpu c)Key
Board d)Optical Mouse e)With
out Mouse Pad.
But Customer wants A)Monitor B)Cpu c)
Key Board D)Optical Mouse e) With
Mouse Pad.
In the above case System will not show
%age of Configurable materials
available & Vice-versa but rather it
creates requirement for computer and
it gives availability as the lead time
maintained in the Material Master of
the Super Bom.
Here the busines requirement is that
it should show %age of configurable
materials
available.
Plz find the attachment for your kind
reference.
Kindly guide me to sort out this issue.
Thanks & Regards,
Chandru

Dear Sir,
Thanks for the guidance/ reply . Still we have some doubts in this:
As per your instructions, I have created sales order and did the MRP run for the same.
I got the planned order, then I have checked the ATP in Planned order change view and got the following results.
No. of components checked: 641
Missing parts: 640
Overall confirmation date could not be determined
But where I can see the Percentage of Avaialble and percentage of to be produced.
Please guide me.
Thanking you
Regards
Chandru

Variant configuration u2013 availability check for Configurable material

Hi Guys,
We are doing the variant configuration scenario for one of our client. We are using planning strategy as 25 (sales order with variant configuration).
When we configure the Configurable material at sales order level, we wanted to check the availability check of Configurable for the combination of selected characteristics.
How we can configure it in the system.
Regards,
Shailendra

Hi,
availability check will work as per the checking group you had defined in system.
additionaly you need to put tick in configuration profile for availability check.
checking for material varient is optional, if your bussiness has materail varients you can activate type matching and while configuring the sales order if the values of charactersticks matches system will suggest you the the appropiate varient and you can replace your configurable material in sales order with it.
hope it will help you.
If you need some more information please explain what exactly your are expecting from system during availability check.
Regards
Ritesh

Credit Check while creation of Sales Order for Item Category Purchase Req

Hi Experts,
We are creating Sales Order using an Order Type ABCD for a material 1000. While creating Sales Order, we use Item categories (ZOVD, ZOVB,ZOST,ZOVP and ZOBO).
Credit Check settings are there at Order Type ABCD as well as all the Item Categories (ZOVD, ZOVB,ZOST,ZOVP and ZOBO). We are trying to test a scenario where a customer does not have enough credit limit while creating a sales order.
When we create a sales order for Item Categories (ZOVD, ZOVB,ZOST,ZOVP), credit check fails because our customer does not have enough credit limit, so that Sales Order gets created and Delivery does not get created (This is what we want), then we go into VKM1 manually and relase the sales order and then if we go to VA02 and check the status of the Sales Order, it says sales order status is complete. My Sales Team is saying here also Purchase Requisition is getting created.
When we create a sales order for Item category ZOBO, it is going into Purchase Requisition screen. Once we give another plant in the create purchase requisition screen and save it we are getting a message that cannot create Purchase Requisiton because of Credit Block.
The settings were same for all the Item categories.
1) What made difference to complete Purchase Requisition for Item Categories (ZOVD, ZOVB,ZOST,ZOVP) and not for Item Category ZOBO when my customer is not having enough credit Limit.
2) Why Purchase Requisition screen is not coming for us when we create an Sales Order for Item Categories (ZOVD, ZOVB,ZOST,ZOVP). We only get Create Purchase Requisiton Screen for Item Category ZOBO.
Thanks

Hi,
None of the Item Categories has Create PO Automatically.

GATP allocation check for configurable material with characteristic

Hi APO Gurus,
We are using configurable products and wanted to go for GATP allocation check based on Characteristics.
The scenario is goiven below,
All our products are configurable materials. At the entry of sales order , the characteristic values are updated and then the sales order is checked for GATP.
When the order come to APO-GATP for allocation check , here I want to check the allocation for configurable material.
But the allocation quantities are given for a combination of Configurable material and its characteristics.
How can we map such scenario?
Do I to create the CVC at family level that is configurable material level ?
How the characteristic values are considered in allocation.
Waiting for your reply.
regards,
Ravi

Availability check for Make to stock and Make to Order

Dear All,
Client is selling Make to stock and make to Order material.
How and what settings need to do for Avaialbility check.or we can use standard one.
I hope in case of Make to Order availability check may not happen.
Please correct me.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Shrikant

hi,
yes for make to order we dont have AvChk. for make to stock items u need to follow the
below configuration.
Availability check
1. Availability check is an integral part of the business process that determines if the required delivery quantity can be met on a required delivery date. For this purpose the system takes into account pre-delivery activities such as scheduling for picking or packing times and the time taken to produce or obtain the material. It also performs several background functions such as Backorder processing, rescheduling and ATP quantities.
2. Backorder processing: processing of a sales order that has not been fully confirmed or not confirmed at a certain delivery date.
3. Rescheduling: is a proposal of how u2013 confirmed quantities already assigned to a sales order can be reassigned to other sales orders that have a higher priority.
4. Available to promise (ATP): is a process of checking the available quantities of a material. The ATP quantity consists of warehouse stock + planned receipts (incoming stock) u2013 planned issues (outgoing stock). to examine stock on hand (CO09) proceed to logistics u2013 sales & distribution u2013 sales u2013 environment u2013 availability overview.
5. Replenishment lead time (RLT): is the time taken for the material to become available either internally (in house production) or externally (from a vendor). The most important things to consider during an external procurement are purchasing and MRP 2 (procurement) views of MMR where the processing time for purchasing, planned delivery time and goods receipt processing time are taken into account. On the other hand internal procurement is based on in house production time (MRP 2 view) goods receipt processing time or alternatively RLT time, which is found on MRP 3 view.
6. RLT (Replenishment Lead Time) is the time taken for the material to become available. RLT is only used when doing an ATP check (Available To Promise). The value of RLT for a material is specified on material master record.
7. There are three types of availability checks u2013
Check on basis of ATP quantities.
Check against product allocation.
Check against planning.
Configuring Availability check through Checking Groups u2013
1. The checking group + checking rule determine how the availability check is to be performed.
2. The checking group determines whether and how the system checks the stock availability and generates requirements for material planning. The checking group defines what type of requirements will be passed on i.e. summarized requirements (daily/weekly) or individual requirements for each sales order.
3. The checking rule applies to how the availability check is to be carried out at the transaction level. Note that you must define checking rules for each individual application such as for production orders for example. In Sales and Distribution, the checking rule is specified internally within the system and cannot be changed.
4. The checking rule, in conjunction with the checking group, determines the scope of the availability check for every business operation; that is, which stocks, receipts and issues are to be included in the availability check and whether the check is to be carried out with or without the replenishment lead time.
5. Briefly explaining the above u2013 checking group determines which type of requirement to be passed on to MRP whether it be individual or summarized and checking rule which is at the transaction level and can be configured independently for each application module, determines which stocks, receipts and issues to be taken into account. For performing an availability check checking group has to work in conjunction with checking rule.
6. Advantages of individual processing over summarized processing u2013
Backorder processing is possible.
You can access (MD04) order, line and schedule line individually which gives a greater control on available stock and requirements placed on stock.
The system automatically uses individual requirements in case of special stock items.
7. Required data for the Availability check to be carried out u2013
The Availability check must be switched on at the requirement class level.
The Availability check must be set at the schedule line level.
A requirements type must exist by which the requirements class can be found.
A plant must be defined in the sales order for each schedule line item (in other words plant must be defined for every material in MMR).
A checking group must be defined in the material master record in the MRP3 screen in the availability check field.
8. Configuring Availability check and defining Checking Groups u2013
Checking groups are introduced into the sales order based on the setting in the material master record.
SAP standard checking groups are 01 u2013 summarized requirements and 02 u2013 individual requirements or you can create your own by copying the standard ones.
Total sales and total deliveries columns are there to configure a checking rule to sum up requirements to post to MRP either individually or by day or week.
Block quantity required can be set if you want several users to be able to process the material simultaneously in different transactions without blocking each other.
The no check indicator is CHECKED when you DO NOT want the system to carry out ATP check.
9. Defining material block for other users u2013 the block check box is an indicator that enables you to block material master records of a particular material during the availability check and restrict other users from accessing same master record and reserve the material. If the block is not set, two users can confirm the same material at the same time for two different orders, not knowing if the stock is available or not. If you select this field, the material is blocked during the availability check and other users cannot: a) Make changes in the material master record. b) Create purchase orders for the material. C) Create orders for the material.
10. Defining default values for checking groups - Checking groups are introduced into the sales order based on the setting in the material master record.
However if there is no entry present in the material master record for the checking group, a default value can be set here, depending on material type and plant.
This default value will be used by the system depending on the material type mentioned in MMR and plant in sales order.
If an entry exists, this default value is over written by MMR.
11. Controlling Availability Check u2013 in this section, you tell the system what stock on hand and what inward and outward movements of stock it must take into account when performing the availability check in addition to whether or not to consider the replenishment lead time.
12. These settings are based on the checking group that is assigned to the material master record and the checking rule that is predefined and assigned to the sales and distribution transaction.
13. These settings carry out control both for sales order and delivery as well. This is due to the fact that you may want to include specific stock or incoming stock for the sales order, yet at the time of the delivery only include physical stock on hand waiting to be shipped.
14. It is possible to indicate to the system that you would like the availability check NOT TO CHECK the stock at the storage location level. This indicator is used to set the scope of the availability check.
15. It is used to switch off the check at storage location level. You create a reservation for a particular storage location. However, the scope of the availability check is set in such a way as to exclude the storage location. In this case, the system carries out the check at plant level only and does not take the storage location into account that is specified in the reservation.
16. Should you not want the system to automatically check RLT, you may indicate so here. RLT is the time taken for a material to become available. It is only used when doing an ATP check and is taken from MMR.
17. Defining the elements in the availability check entirely depends on the business needs, but a few tips are given under u2013
When controlling the Availability check at the time of the sales order, a purchase requisition does not necessarily indicate by it is going to come into the plant.
A shipping notification on the other hand - a confirmed purchase order u2013 is a good indicator of receiving stock on a specified date.
It is always recommended not to select the shipping notifications for the delivery requirements type as you may not actually receive the stock into plant or warehouse for which you are creating a delivery.

Capacity check is not working while creation of Production order

HI Gurus,
I want to restict the system that in case of insufficient capacity at the work centers, sysstem should not create the production order. For that i did the setting
1) Unchecked the tick for the Capacity check & enter the profile SAPSFCG013 in the OPJK for the business functions 1 & 2.& also make the setting for the Release order '3".
2) Maintain the same profile in the production profile & maintain that profile in the Mat Master
3) In the CR02, activate the tick for the finite scheduling & uncheck for the can used for several operations.
But i have creted the production orders & at the time of capacity check system is giving the message " Capacity avaiolable at all the work centers. But i check in the CM50, all the work centers are overloaded at the respective date.
But i can create & release the p[orduction order.
Requesting all to give your comments & solutions.
Regards
ACP

ACP,
....after confirming all the operations system is allowing me to save
When you confirm an order, you are by definition saying that the capacity existed for that order (you have just declared to the system that all operatons have been performed, and therefore all capacity was available). I can't imagine why you would not wish to save that order, since you must somehow post the physical work that has already been done. Capacity availability check is really only useful when the order to be checked has not yet been executed.
CM50 displays capacity requirements. CM50 does not perform the same function as Capacity availability check. To ensure that all of your orders fall within you capacity constraints, you must perform capacity levelling. Capacity availability check does not work the same as a Material availability check - don't assume that what you know about a material ATP will be applicable for a capacity ATP. Read the help on Capacity levelling. It is not generally possible to stop a manually created production order from being saved, due to any capacity situation, without using an enhancement.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp60/helpdata/en/60/13e308133a11d3bf550000e83235ee/frameset.htm
Naturally, you can use enhancements to have the system meet any business requirement that is not met with the standard Cap Availability check.

No commitment Item Update while creation of Sales order

hi,
I have maintained Derivation Rule
Co Code / GL/ BA/ Plant / S Loc/ = Fund / Comitement / Fund Center.
Stil in that case at the time of creation of Sales order, systeme is giving error (++No commitment Item Update M V2225++)
And also i have maintained the Comitement Item in GL master.
Could you give me some solution.
Thanks
Nilesh R

Hi Nilesh R,
Please check the following information of Consulting Note 1268001 (the same for funds center is valid to commitment item):
1. You receive the error message in a Sales Order (SD) process.
   a) SD customizing settings for FM objects.
   You can set "commitment item" as an optional entry in SD customizing settings for field status. This can be checked in the IMG path: SPRO -> Public Sector Management -> Funds Management Government-> Actual and Commitment Update/Integration -> Integration ->
   Maintain Field Status for Assigning FM Account Assignments
   You should have a record with Object type = '04' (sales order).
   It is not necessary to have the field as required (unless you want to insert it in the origin process) due to the fact that
   this can avoid the account assignment derivation between CO objects and FM objects. The field can not be hidden otherwise it will be not derived.
   For more information, check note 572729.
The system response depends on how you defined the fields of the FM dialog box using Customizing activity 'Maintain Field Status for Assigning FM Account Assignments':
     - The fields of the FM dialog box are defined as ready for input ('Opt. entry' or 'Req. entry') in Customizing:
        If you change the reference object in the sales order, the system does not re-derive FM data automatically. For that, you
        must navigate to the FM dialog box and, by choosing icon 'Redetermine account (F5)', trigger the derivation manually.
     -   The fields of the FM dialog box are defined as not changeable ('Display') in Customizing:
         If the reference object is changed in the order, FM data is redetermined automatically.
     - The fields of the FM dialog box are defined as not displayable ('Hide') in Customizing:
         FM data is not determined.
Therefore, set the field status to optional permit the user to enter the FM objects manually and still benefit from the possibility to
automatically derive the FM objects from a CO object.
For more information on integrating Plant Maintenance, Sales and Distribution and Project System, see the SAP Library Accounting -> Public Sector Management -> Funds Management -> Actual and Commitment Update -> Integration with Plant Maintenance, Integration with Sales and Distribution and Integration with Project System (Network).
You can also check the documentation available in the IMG menu of the status (written above).
   b) If you do not want to integrate sales order process within PSM-FM, you should consider to deactivate this integration in
      customizing transaction OFUP. In release EA-PS 1.10 and 2.00 modification note 591573 is available.
Please also check consulting note 1267998 and let me know if you have used FMDERIVE trace tool.
If you want to have SD integrated to FM, please check if in OFUP the flag of this integration is accordingly set.
If you work with free-of-charge sales order line items mixed with line items having value, please consider to apply note 1441847 (if it is valid to your current release/package).
I hope this answer your inquiry.
Best Regards,
Vanessa Barth.

Restrict Manual Entry of Items while creation of sales order

Hi,
<b>Requirement:</b>
User can create a sales order only for line items of contract if sales order is created with reference to contract. Any manual entry of line item should be restricted.
<b>Analysis:</b>
I have coded to check the line item is created with ref to contract or not.( VGBEL gets populated if it is created with ref to contract.). I checked in userexits (USEREXIT_SAVE_DOCUMENT_PREPARE) and (USEREXIT_FIELD_MODIFICATION).
Do help if anyone have come across such scenario.

Actually i have changed VAT tax for particular sales org. and testing it for order. I insert appropriate data in frist screen which is for sold-to-part, i put order number and it's quantity there. When i double click on the material and goto second screen in conditions tab, i put there condition type Z701 and rate. After that i hit enter so that 1st debug screen appeared and after that 2nd debug screem appeared, but when i wanted to go ahead from 2nd debug screen as below
Debug :
Please maintain the following settlement rule for the order:
Path: Goto > Item > Account Assignment > Settlement Rule
Category          Settlement Receivers         Bus.Area
when i am trying to go ahead from this screen it is going in infinite loop, can you please tell me the possible reasons.
Thanks.

Hi,
Business area is available, i just didn't mention it there.
It's like
Debug
Please maintain the following settlement rule for the order:

Updation of condition type in conditions tab while creation of sales order

Hi folks
I have added one field called price key in Sales B screen of VA01 in item level.
When user will input price key here and then put enter. Then the Price should be updated in Conditions tab i.e the condition type will be updated in conditions tab.
I need to maintain this price key in VK11. So As per the Price key i need to update condition types in conditions tab.
here i am using a user exit SAPMV45A. i can get condition type for the specified price key from A905 table.Then how to update this condition type in conditions tab through user exit.
Plz suggest.
Thanks
pmr

Dear friend,
if the sales order is saved and you want to change the pricing click on update which will be on the lower level of your condition tab in va02.
and if you are trying to create a new sales order and if the value is greyed our - check whether in pricing procedure - control data - you would have maintained statistics against that condtion tab.
check this out and get back
