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

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.

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.

Creation of Sale Order for configurable material with availability check.

Hi,
We have a scenario in which the material is configurable. The configurable material (X) has few variants (Ex: X1, X2, X3, X4, X5). While booking the sale order, we use the material number (X).
Further, the material planning is done for the variants X1, X2, X3, X4, X5. The standard variants are planned for production in advance.
1.     While booking the sale order, we want the availability check of the stock (type matching to happen). What needs to be done in configuration?
2.     While booking the sale order, there is a possibility that the configuration selected will not match with any of the standard variants due to some additional requirements of the optional features, in such cases how to link the standard variants to the sale order & create requirement for additional requirements.
Regards,
Umesh

Hi Umesh,
           1.Create material master for configurable material and variants in mm01.
           2.Maintain BOM for the configurable material in CS01
           3. Configur the variant configuration steps
              a. Create charecteristics T.code CT04
              b. Create values and assign classes
              c. assign the values to charecteristics
              d . Maitain dependence T.code CU01
              e.create configuration profile t.code CU41
              f.stimulate the configuration profile.
4. Do the availability check configuration through this path
IMG --> Sales and distribution > Basic functions ,> Availabilty check and Transfer of requirements.
5. Maintain the Availbility check field and MRP views in the material masters other wise you sit with PP people and do that
I hope it will help you

STO for Configurable material

Dear All,
We require to configure the STO process for a configurable material, but as per the present system configurable material production in supplying plant triggers by sales order. this resulting in non availability of material to dispatch against the STO purchase order.
Please help me to resolve this issue.
your inputs are awaited!!!
thanks & regards,
Anup

Maintain the correct MRP parameter for the material, i.e., special procurement type for stock transfer in MRP2.
So, you have set this up and it generates the stock transfer requests.
Note that the STO will have the account assignment for sales order stock.
Check following links for hints:
Re: Material xxxxx in plant xxxx is configurable and will not be costed
CK11N:Costing done for Configurable material is throwing error
Hope this can assist you.

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.

Availability Check for Mov.type

Dear All,
Can we configure Availability check for Mov.type?? If yes what are the settings to be done??
Points will be awarded!
Regards,

Hi,
Thanks a lot for the quick response. As you have mentioned I have done the above steps. Now I have doubt that actually my requirement is to activate the Dynamic Availability check for a Mov.type. So in the above transactions OMCM & OMCP in the mov type tab we have a Dynamic Availability check Column where we can set the message as Warning, Error etc..
As per your above points If I assign the check rule to my transaction code system will do Availability check when I execute the transaction irrespective of material.
So Do I have to do the above step? Or shall I assign the Checking Rule to my mov.type in OMJJ ( update Control) tab?
Kindly reply your valuable suggestions?
Regards,

Dynamic Availability Check for Goods Issue,Transfer Posting

Dear All,
Can anyone explain the Dynamic Availability Check??
I mean the relevance on setting this indicator for a mov.type?
In OMCM & OMCP I have defined a Checking Rule & also assigned the same to a Mov.type as well the transaction code?
whether the Dynamic Availability Check concept is same in case of sales ie Say I have a Stock of 100 qtys for a material in a plant & in the availability Scope of Check I have ticked the include safety stock.
In my material master I have a safety stock of 500 qtys.
So when I do a transfer posting for this material with Qty as 200, System should allow me do proceed as in my availability check I have enabled the safety stock option.
But this is not happening & I am getting an error message as deficit of stock 100 nos. Also what is use of setting the dynamic availability check indicator for my mov.type as A - Warning message , B - Error Message etc..
Kindly suggest valuable inputs.
Thanks & Regards,

For e.g. there is Available Stock = 1000 qty and safety stock in material master = 500 qty then system will allow you to use 1000 qty only not 1500 qty
This is only used for availability check purpose whether system it should be considered or not?
And following indicators means;
A W mess. only issued in the case of non-availability
B E mess. only issued in the case of non-availability
E Message in any case: W mess. for non-avail., otherw. S mess.
F Message in any case: E mess. for non-avail., otherw. S mess.
S Availability check only with simulation
The above indicators indicate whether the system is to check for existing material requirements.
Award appropriately once the thread is answered.

How to do the Partial delivery for configurable material ?

Hi All,
I am creating a sales order for a configurable material and is trying to do the partial delivery for the same. But, after the outbound delivery the status of the sales order is shown as completed although I have done the partial delivery.
Here are the steps I followed.
1. material I used here is a configurable material.
Main settings.
a. In Basic Data tab, marked as configurable
b. Procurement type='E' in MRP 2 tab
c. Strategy group as 82 in MRP 3 view.
2. I created a sales order for quantity 10
3. Created a production order followed by goods Movement thereby increasing the stock.
4. Did the outbound delivery for quantity 5.
Now if I checked for the status of the sales order using VA02, the status for the line item as well as for the sales order was "Completed" although I had done partial delivery.
I have checked for setting in Customer master record, item category in VOV7. Everything seems to be fine.
I checked for all the information in the FORUM without any help.
Can you please help me?
Kind Regards,
Anupama

Hi,
For Info, I am creating a sales order for Item category TAC.
1. In my case, after completing the partial delivery, in the document flow for Order, the status is shown as completed.
2. In status overview for this item, delivery status indicator is set as 'Fully delivered'.
I did check in the customer master record and the field
Partial delivery per item is set to Blank( Partial delivery allowed)
3. I did run the report RIBELF20 and I am getting this error for all the sales order I created for partial delivery for configurable material.
For Normal item, the status is showing properly.
Is there any other settings I have to check?
I needed this to be working. Please help

Routing for configurable material

Hello PP gurs,
I want to create Routing for Configurable Material in SAP PP-PI or PP industries. How the object dependency is defined applied ?
This requirement is for Make TO Order scenario for Configurable Material.
At present I am working with resources only.
I want to create in such away So that while creating Production order system should ask select BOM & routing.
How can I define the Super BOM & Super Routing in Order?
Is it possible to calculate cost for this kind of requirement?
Please Give your Contribution from Whatever the Questions above....
Thanks & Regards,
Bhavik Dangi.

Dear,
In can explain youn w/ example
Let us say you have to manufactur CAR's(matyerial no in SAP is CAR). The coonfiguration options are - Paint, and tyre
Create a char inn CT04 as piant and tyre with value as below(data type = char)
Paint - white, red, blue and black
Tyre - Redial, Normal
Create materials like White-paint, Red-paint, Blue-paint, black-paint, Tyre-redial, tyre-Normal, Engine
Create a class in CL01 called CAR-CLASS , clas type 300 and assign the above Char to this class
Assign this class to Material CAR.
Create BOm with following items
Engine
White-paint
RED paint
Blue-paint,
black-paint,
Tyre-redial,
tyre-Normal,
Create a object dependency in CU40 type - selcetion condition to selcet red-paint material when in Sales order select paint red. and like this all others.
Selection condition for red paint is as below
Paint = 'red'
Like this for all others
Paint = 'white'
Paint = 'black'
Paint = 'blue'
Tyre = 'Normal'
Tyre = 'Redial'
Assign this object dependency to BOm items
Engine
White-paint -
>Paint = 'white'
RED paint -
>Paint = 'red'
Blue-paint, -
>Paint = 'blue'
black-paint, -
>Paint = 'black'
Tyre-redial, -
>Tyre = 'Redial'
tyre-Normal---->Tyre = 'Normal'
Now create a configuration profile
When you create a Sales order, system will pronmpt to enter the vlaues for piant and tyre
if you have selceted piant as red and tyre as normal, then the BOm will look like as below
Engine
RED paint
tyre-Normal
This is the configured BOM...what you have cretaed is supre BOM.
It is available in PP

Availability check for STO?

Hi,
While doing Stock transfers order (PO) plant to plant with in the company code, there is no controlling on availability check, though stocks are not available in the supplying plant, while making delivery thro VL10B, delivery is creating with '0' Qty. This system want to stop the delivery when quantities are not available in the supplying plant.
The following steps are configured for availability check for STO
Schedule line Like NN activated for availability, Assigned schedule lines to item category like NLN and determined rule for STO document type, plant, Delivery type and checking rule in MM.
how to control the delivery, when stock are not available in supplying plant? (Means, when stock are not available in the supplying plant, delivery creation should stop through VL10B)
Is there any more configuration is required, pl guide.

Alexandro,
During delivery creation, the system performs an availability check (ATP). You can assign the Delivery notice type for a stock transfer order delivery notice at OMGN. The ATP for DN will be the standard ATP rules for SD delivery notices (checking rule B).You can determine which elements are used for availability checking in OVZ9.
To meet your goals, I suggest you use:
Check w/o replenishment lead time ticked
Include deliveries ticked.
Optionally, according to your company's policies
Include safety stock ticked
Include quality inspection stock ticked
Everything else unticked.
Regards,
