Material available date in cross-company business

Hello guys,
I encountered a question in <b>cross-company business</b>.
1. create PO with ME21N;
2. create outbound delivery against PO with VL10B.
I found material available date in outbound delivery is always the same as delivery date in PO. why? by my understanding, material available date should got base on ATP.
could you give me any suggestion?

I assume that you manually created the PO. If so, then you are right in your observation.
When PO's are created as a result of a planning run , then the MAD calculation takes ATP into account

Material Availability Date and Corresponding Basic finish date

Hi experts,
I have one requirement from my Business for updating Basic Finish date based on the Material availability date
Requirement goes like this, When we enter a Component of 100 qty in the service order , if stock is not available we get system status as MSPT and IWBK we can see how much quantity confirmed
But i dont see any table or report which shows when this material can be available for further delivery. Based on the next available material date i have to change the basic finish date in the service Order
Please let me know if you any report available for this or any standard approach. I want to know if any exist to leverage this functionality and logic how to get this accomplished
thanks

Sarvan,
You would need to perform this check when saving the work order as there could be multiple components all with differing ATP dates.
But a development could do something like:
Read all active/open components/materials on the work order
Determine the availability data for each component/material
Determine the latest of the above dates
Apply this date to the order Basic Finish Date
You would need to ensure your scheduling parameters do not set this date back to its original value (OPU7).
You could achiev the above through user-exit IWO10009 (SMOD) or BADI WORKORDER_UPDATE (SE18).

Material Availability Date of Sales Order

An issue 1 :
There is material which is GATP relevant and stock is available in APO and R3.When GATP check is performed MAD Date is shown as Current Day +1,where as it should be Current Day only.And this issue happens on Friday only i.e GATP returns Current day as MAD day on other than friday.
An issue 2 :
There are Sales Order already created for a material sat mat1 with availability check code "ZF" in MRP3 tab of material master.The MAD has already been calculated with existing settings through GATP functionality.
What is required that change the availability check code in MRP3 tab of material master to "ZB" and re-check the availability of the already created sales orders in R3.
But what we understand since Sales Order already created for Availability check code "ZF",new changed "ZB" will not impact the ATP check.
An issue 3 ;
What are the settings influence the calulations of MAD in APO and R3.
Is there any way this can be achieved.
Manish

Manish,
First, you will always get better responses in this forum if you enter one issue per post. Many people are unwilling to respond to a multi-question posting.
Issue 1. There are dozens of factors that can contribute to a Material Availability date in APO. Are you using RBA? Allocation? ATP against a forecast? CTP? Transportation Scheduling? etc etc etc......
The most likely reason is that you have an issue with with valid workdays in one of the calendars that affect your GATP check.
Issue 2 - This is mostly an R/3 issue. The practice you call out (change the MM ATP checking group and re-atp the order) is only supported by SAP in a limited way. The easiest way I have found to do this is to open the sales order, remove the plant from the item, and then save the order. Make your changes to the MM. Wait until the MM changes get to SCM. Now, re-open the sales order, and re-enter the plant. If you are lucky, the sales order will re-read the updated MM data, and re-atp the order in SCM using the updated SCM data. Now, re-save the sales order.
By the way, don't think that you can now blithely change the ATP checking group in R/3 back to the old value. You will face additional problems in delivering and shipping the order later. The process I described should only be used to correct an existing MM error.
Also, be aware that any ATP checking group beginning with a 'Z' has been customized for your company. You should contact the local SD expert to see what changes your company had made for these ZD and ZB groups.
Issue 3 - GATP is a large module in SCM. There are many types of checks. Each one has it's own items that can affect MAD (generation of MAD is the prime output of GATP). I couldn't possibly cover them all in a single posting. The standard SAP overview class for GATP is 3 days, and this class doesn't go into much detail. I strongly recommend that you consult with your local GATP functional expert, or consider hiring an expert GATP consultant if you wish to proceed with your development of APO GATP.
Good luck!

Update Material Availability Date for Sales Order having a Delivery

Dear Gurus,
We have a bit out of the way scenario. There is a o/b delivery already added to a shipment. And then we receive a IDOC from external MES System (i.e. Production) with new material availability date. This new material availability date is updated on Sales Order. In short the order is delayed.
Current Solution:
In this case the user has to remove the delivery from the shipment manually. then the IDOC deletes the delivery and the updates the sales order with new date followed by creation of new delivery.
The business expects to updated the Sales Order material availability date without changing Shipment / delivery. Any solution?
Current solution has to be changed as for Shipment purpose changes are made to delivery which are lost when the delivery is deleted.

hi
in this case you have to adopt the business process change.
you have to update the EDI first and then you create delivery.

For Dynamic Credit Check replacing Material Availability date with Delivery date

Hi All,
Our client has this requirement, where they want to change the standard SAP functionality which Checks whether a schedule line item in a sales order is with in horizon or not based on "Material Availability Date" VBEP-MBDAT. They want in place of this Delivery date of schedule line should be used i.e. VBEP-EDATU. I did some research and found out that this could be done technically by updating the BADI "BADI_SD_CM".
Now we are stuck as to what needs to be changed? has anybody worked on this kind of requirement before?
Please share your past experience.
Thanks and Regards,
Prateek Maheshwari.

As you know, VBELN-Currency-POSNR-ETENR-MBDAT is standard exposure key of sales order but my ex-colleague changed it into VBELN-Currency-POSNR to compress exposure data for certain CCA.
In this case, of course, that CCA should meet some biz requirements(User-exit. etc) like no partial delivery. etc.... for integrity of exposures..
This case is different because you want to change value of key....and it's Date!!!!
Anyway I think it's techinically possible but it's very risky in live system because existing exposures would be not removed even if delivered, changed, deleted or blocked.
So you have to delete all exposures and rebuild after program changed.
I'm writing it's possible now but I refused when my customer want to change it because I don't have any way to rebuild huge data in live system.

Material Availability date differs in R/3 & APO

Hi,
We are facing Issue with Material Avaialbility date for Planner order/Manufacturing Order in R/3 and APO.
We are using a Master Recipe for PDS Creation in APO which consists on 9-10 different operations, out of which only inbetween operation 4-5-6 is scheduled in APO.
So in APO Other Operations are not availble in PDS and hence not considered for scheduling as required. Also GR Processing Time is maintained on Product Master for which infinite Capcity Handling resource in created in APO.
When we schedule Operations in APO, the Scheduled dates for Operation 4-5-6 is sent back to R/3 and for other Operations based on relationship maintained takes addistional 1-2 Days.
In R/3 Availability Date for Planner Order/Manufacturing Order is calculating by adding a GR time after Operation 10 end time, while in APO as ony operation 4-5-6 is available a GR time is added after Operation 6, which is resulting in Differnet availability date for Order in R/3 and APO.
Kindly suggets a way to same date in R/3 and APO, if anyone has faced same Issue.
Thanks for your Help !!!

Hi Senthil,
I completly understand, that APO Material Availability date is GR end Date while in R/3 its a Process Order end date.
But Problem is not that.
Problem is not all operation of Process order are in APO, so assume u have 5 operations in Process order out of which only first 3 are relevant for schedulilng in APO. So APO schedules these 3 Operation and adds the GR time to Show the avaiablity date.
While in R/3 GR Time is added after end of Operation 5 which is right, so GR end date in R/3 and APO dont match.
Let me know if you think some more on this...!!!
Thanks and Appreciated !!!

Material availability date issue

Hello,
I am trying to create a sales order with 100 Kg of one material listed. Unrestricted stock for this material is 780 Kg in the system. When I save the order however, material availability date shows as one day forward from the current date, i.e. tomorrow's date shows if order was made today. This affects the posting of the dispatch advise (Outbound delivery). It does not let me post the DA until I change the selection date in VL01N to a date that is the same or later than the material availability date. This is fine. What I want to know is why is the material availability date showing as one day after the order date on the sales document? If stock is on hand and we want to dispatch the same day as the order it can't be done at present. Please help.
Regards

Dear Khan
Go to OVLZ, select your shipping point and check in "Pick/pack time wrkdys" whether any value is maintained. If so, remove that and now retry. Bcoz, for example, if 2 is given in this field, even if stock is available on the same day of order creation, system will allow to do PGI only after 2 days from the date of order created

Creditreport that displays Sales Orders with Material Availability Date as

Hi
I need input if the following requirement can be met in FSCM credit mgmnt.
Currently In FDK43 there is a total sales figure that represents the Sales that are consuming the Credit Limit assigned to the customer, unfortunately there is no drill down on this number to see which sales orders are responsible for the consumption of credit
Do we have any sales report that displays Sales Orders with Material Availability Date as an output in conjunction with Credit limit .

MRP is not considering material availability dates for sorting customer ord

Hello Experts,
MRP is not considering material availability dates for sorting customer order/ sales order in sequence (thatu2019s is oldest from newest in order) in MD04.
Please suggest.
Thanks,

Om,
No. Aside from my obvious desire to preserve my privacy, it would be a disservice to the other forum members. No-one else but you and I would understand your problem, and no-one else but you would be able to benefit from any solutions.
There are dozens of free public portals suitable for posting pictures on the internet. I suggest that you use one.

Material Availability Date

HI ALL,
I have a client..
She requested to configure a route for two new customer..
I configured the new route: R1, it has 22 calendar days transit time, and 3 working days transportation Lead time.
Then she create an Export Order on 12/01.
Indicating the Required Delivery Date of 12/30.
Then Automatically the:
Material Availability DAte defaulted to 12/8;
Goods issue date 12/8;
Loading Date 12/8;
Transportation Planning Date 12/3.
1. Am I right in saying that the computation for the Material Availability date for the above example is based on the indicated Required Delivery Date which is 12/30? Is it 12/30 - 22 days (transit time) = 12/08 MAD? Considering also that the material will have a stock that time (based on Planned orders)?
2. And then regarding the transportation Planning date, am I right in saying that it was computed 3 working days from MAD 12/8? (weekend 12/6 and 12/7)
3. How can I possibly configure the Material Availability Date to be 25 days from the Required Delivery Date without any impact to Transit time of 22 days? Is there any other way? Its like 22 days - Transit time and 3 days for material preparations?
I'll appreciate any prompt response. Thanks!
-Jisley-

Hi there,
1) Transportation lead time TLT is the time that is required by the transport planning point to finalise & prepare for the tramsport (like finailise the carrier, route, costs etc).
So the TLT is 3 days from the order load date. The system need not wait till the MAD & then calculate MAD + 3 days for transportation planning time. Even tough material is available or not TLT is 3 days from order date.
2) When you mean 3 days, it need not necessarily mean 3 working days. Check the factory calender assigned to the route & the shipping point. Check what are definied as working days / holidays. System will calculate accordingly. If Sat & Sun are holidays in the factory calender, then it would take 3 working days. Else it is 3 calender days weekends not included.
3) MAD is calculated by the time mantained in MM02 -> MRP 2 screen. You will maintain the inhouse processing time for finished goods (internallly produced goods) & planned delivery time / GR processing time for trading goods (externally procured goods). If you are aware, MAD is calculated through backward scheduling from the requested delivery date RDD. From the RDD, system will go backwards & propose GI date, loading date, pick pack date basing on the times maintaind in shipping points & routes. Goods should be available on the pick pack date. Else it will check the new MAD (basing on MRP 2 values in MM02) & then carriers forward scheduling to propose a new confirmed delivery date. If you want to have MAD of 25 days, then maintain 25 in MM02 --> MRP 2 values & check it.

Update Material Availability dates during order creation

Hi,
We have a requirement to update the material availability in the schedule lines of the order when the order is being created.
We want the update to happen after the sales order is in the Data base. We tried calling a Function module in Update task. The function module is written in the EXIT_SAVE_DOCUMENT form of sales order user exit.
The FM is getting called on the commit work , but not updating the sales order. We are getting an error " Material availability date should be less than load date". On debugging we noted that the SD_SALES_SCHEDULE_MAINTAIN is called with a load date of 00/00/0000 since the sales order is not in DB.
Is there a way to call the FM after the sales order is in the database.

Material Avail.date determination

Dear all,
In transaction OVLZ, we have customized per shipping point the days to get the material availability date. And it works Ok.
But, I think you can do this determination by material as well.
In material master data, we have in tab "Sales:General/Plant" some fields to use for this date: Setup time, Proc time.
how can I use this time? Which possibilities do exit to obtain the material availability date?
Thanks in advance.
Iné

You can also determine by Sales Document Type, whether Delivery & Transportation Scheduling is to be done or not.
This can be done at:
IMG - Logistics Execution - Shipping - Scheduling - Delivery Scheduling and Transportation Scheduling - Define Scheduling By Sales Document Type..
As far as Pick / pack time, Loading Time & other days are concerned, they are defined in OVLZ & nowhere else.
Hope this helps,
Thanks,
Jignesh Mehta

Material Availability Date on Closed Day

Hi,
We have an issue whereby a customer order is dated out correctly to the new year on an open day ie 05.01.2010 but the material availability date is falling on a closed day ie 30.12.2009.
I've checked both the factory and holiday calendars and these are all showing correct closed and open days.
Any thoughts?
Thanks in advance.
Mike

Hi Mike,
SD scheduling is tricky stuff...
There is also a calendar for the shipping point.
Did you evaluate if it has any impact on sales order scheduling?
The truth is that I am not sure about it. Just trying to help.
This is the point where debugging might be the fastest way to get an answer. If you can find the function name for date determination, put a break-point there!

Franck

Material availability Date - User Exit

Dear All,
Can any one help me in finding out User Exit to change Material Availability date in VA01, which system propose automatically.
The Problem is I need to assign Mat aval. date as say SY_DATUM + 60. Then system should take this date for ATP calculation(for eg: Loading date,Goods issue date,Transport.plan.date) and finally it should propose Delivery date.
It would be great helpfull for me if any one help me in this issue ASAP.
Advance Thanks for your help
With Regards
K.Babu

Hi,
Try using USEREXIT_AVAILABILITY_IN(RV03VFZZ) or USEREXIT_ADD_FIELD_TO_LINE(FV45VFZZ) exits in SD. Due to various combinations possible (for example if you use route-scheduling it may behave differently than otherwise), it may not be possible to apply a common logic.
I would suggest using USEREXIT_ADD_FIELD_TO_LINE to modify the date fields in the structure MVERF (field EDATU : Delivery date, MBDAT : Material avail. date and so on). At this point, system has already calculated the first set of dates based on customer requested delivery date, so you will need to do adjustments in all fields accordingly.
Eg in this exit:
w_date = sy-datum + 60.
offset = w_date - mverf-mbdat.
mverf-mbdat = mverf-mbdat + offset.
mverf-lddat = mverf-lddat + offset.
mverf-edatu = mverf-edatu + offset.
Please note it will need some adjustments if you have a shipping calendar (eg sundays off..) in which case the offset may be a little different for EDATU.
cheers,
