Hi
In material master, MM02, change the " X-distribution chain specific material status" [MARA-MSTAV] , to blocked status.Mention the validity dates as required by you. save.
The path is Material master --> Sales Org 1 data.
You can customize your Material statuses in the following path:
spro --> img -->Logistics - General --> Material Master -->Settings for Key Fields --> Data Relevant to Sales and Distribution --> Define Sales Statuses --> select status and view.
here you can maintain the status as "no message", "A - warning" or "B - error message", against sales order specific transactions like Quotation, order, delivery etc.
For your case, you can maintain "B" against Delivery block. So that the system will give a error message whenever someone tries to execute a delivery of that material, from the validity date you have mentioned in the material master.
This will block this material from getting allocated to sales orders, in that Sales organization, for all distribution channels under that S.Org.

Config to select Checking Rule "A" during Sales order availability check

Hi All,
Please can you tell me the config that tells system to select the checking rule "A" during sales order availability check. The problem at my client side is that the system was using the checking rule "A" initially but suddenly it has started using checking rule "B" (delivery) for sales order. The item category being used in YAN and Scheduline Line category is YC (ATP and Allocation allowed).
The checking group is getting picked up correctly from the Material Master value.
I have tried to find all the possible config that might be causing this issue, but I am unable to find one. Based on my understanding of the SAP SD process, there is no place where we can define in system to use the "checking rule" for SD availability check. This is the default (hard-coded) in the system.
Please can you help me to find how the checking rule "B" might be getting called instead of "A".
Regards,
Swapnil

Hi
Checking rule is transaction based like A for SD sales order and B for SD delivery like that it is defined
So in a sales order the system checks with the combination of AChecking rule and the Checking group defined in MMR and for that combination we give controls in OVZ9 and based on that system makes availability check
Every one and all SAP materials including myself say Checking Rule is transaction based and picked up by the system thro hard coded controls
But In t code OPJL it is possible to define new checking rules that means customization is possible
But where is the link or assignment
For this nobody has given correct answers including the PP friends
For you the system is shifting the Checking Rule from A to B in the sales order itself means we can find out get where the said assignment is done
In OVZ9 remove the combination Checking rule B and your Checking group and save
You said the system has shifted its Checking rule to B from A
Now test it after removing this control in OVZ9 and see the system is shifting once again to A or throwing error as the control is removed in OVZ9
make sure that you do this in a sales order and post back

Sales order availability

Dear all,
I am developing a report which is a day-wise report, where
I need to display the opening stock as on date that is the closing stock for yesterday if he is running the report today morning u2013 MMBE can help?
And second is the production stock as on date
The report will display the closing stock & production stock for yesterday when the user runs the report today.
Please can anyone guide me on this?

Dear Lakshmi,
I need to develop a report, I have tried to explain in brief below. Please guide me
The report is to show the opening stock for the date range selected first of all & the production stock for the date range selected then calculate the availability (that will be the opening stock plus the production stock for the date). This will give the total stock available which can be delivered against the availability. Next column I need to show open sale orders for that day. Then I need to display the invoiced quantity (that is, which were invoiced) on the day against the available sales orders.
Thanks & Regards,

In sales order availability check problem

Hi
In sales order I when I enter the material availability happening.........
ex. My material 00001 I raised the order for 100 quantity on 01.04.2009 on that time system showing availability of stock only 50 quantity available....on 02.04.2009 I posted 200 stock through transfers....Total my stock is 250 quantity as on 02.04.2009 . When i am doing delivery on 02.04.2009 only 50 quantity copying to delivery for the material 00001.
no reservations are there.....02 availability check is there in my material master..
if i come sales order if i go to 00001 material line item schedulines if i change the date..manually then only system updating 100 quantity in sales order................
why its happening...........in sales order 100 line items are there .if i do delivery some line items only quantity copying.its very difficult to remember which item is copied to delivery...........
Any suggetions please.......
Thanks
Sree

Dear Sree sree
sales order is created for 100 units and stocks are there for only for 50 units on 01.04.2009 so the confirmed qty is given as 50 only on saving the sales order
On 02.04.2009 there are some stocks flowing in your plant /storage locations so on 02.04.2009 the qty becomes 250
Now on 03.04.2009 the sales order is due for delivery but in delivery only 50 units has come eventhough there are 250 units stocks
This is your problem
The system response is very correct
If you want the system to confirm 100 units on 03.04.2009 this wont happen automatically
You have to put the order in VA02 mode and redo the availability check
By doing that the system will confirm the stocks for 100 units
If your OVZ9 availability check control screen is configured properly then while creating the sales order itself these incoming stocks of 200 units can be taken into account so that the order 100 can be confirmed in VA01 itself
If your checking group is 02 in MMR then in OVZ9 for the combination of 02 and A (sales order) you can control these
Go to OVz9 and press F1 in each and every check box
You will understand it much better

Sales Order availability checks + date changes in POs v Proc Orders

Am getting into a knot about availability checks.
I have a MTO process. All my materials have the same planning strategy (MRP3) but are either inhouse manufactured/external (MRP2)
1. I create a sales order for a subcontracted material so MRP creates a Purchase Requisition which I convert to a Purchase Order..
OR
2. I create a sales order for a manufactured material so MRP creates a planned order which I convert to a Process Order
Let say I have a delivery date in the sales order of September 20th for both scenarios above.
1. For the subcontract PO, my delivery date is confirmed by the vendor as October 10th so I change the delivery date in the PO. If I run the availabilty check in the sales order, the sales order delivery date changes from September 20th to October 10th.
Perfect.
BUT
2. For the manufactured products, if I change the process order to have a Finish Date of October 10th due to a busy production line, when I go into my sales order and run the availability check, it still comes back with September 20th, i.e. ignores the date on the Process order. Why isn't it updating to October 10th?
My ATP check is set up to include Production/Process Orders. any suggestions as to what I'm doing wrong?
Many thanks.

Hi Shiva
Here are my availability check settings in OVZG
All "Stocks" checkboxes are unticked except for "W/O Subcontracting".
All "In/outward movements" checkboxes are ticked.
X "check all planned orders"
X "Take all production orders into account"
X "Check releases for stock transport orders and requisitions".

Sales order availability check considering the ROH stock/procurement time

Hi Gurus,
Our client's Production process requires the availability check at order level to consider the procurement time required for the Rawmaterial (BOM component of the FERT, whose sales order is taken) in cases when this RM is not available in the plant, and Availability check should not consider this procurement time when this RM is available in the plant.
ie in first case, it should consider the total time for in-house production as well as the time required to procure the rawmaterials, along with all other times that we use like Gr processing time, packing picking etc.
In second case it should not consider the RM procurement time, but only the inhouse production time and other times as applicable.
To my understanding, Availability check at order level will only check the time given in the MRP view of the FERT, and it does not check anything about RM stock or RM procurement time.
Can you please give me some suggestions to meet this requirement of the client (client is into Food Product Manufacturing).
Your quick response will be very helpful
Thanks
Jobi

Jobi,
Our client is not following Assemble to order or even make to order. The typical production process followed is neither make to order nor make to stock.
Understood, although I am not sure why you are telling me what he has today; since your client has already told you his existing solution is unsatisfactory. I have described a solution that seems to meet the short list of business requirements that you described in your first post. I suggest you offer this solution to your client, unless he has already told you that ATO is not acceptable for some other reason not mentioned in your post.
As already mentioned by the other experts Saurabh and Kiran and Mariano, the requested functionality in general is not supported for MTS in standard ECC. As always, anything is possible through enhancement or 'workaround', as long as the client has enough time and money, and you have sufficient skills to implement.
If the client is willing to implement APO, which is the standard SAP advanced planning system, such a solution (multi-level availability checking with MTS) is possible as standard. Within the Global Available To Promise Module of APO there are a couple of ways to get at this type of ATP solution.

Sales Order - Availability check for components

Hi All,
I have 2 parts to my qns.
1. When a sales order is created for a component, with a req date, the system checks & informs if the mtl can be provided on the req date & if not proposes a new date - May i know which checking rule is used & also what all does the system check for?
2. A component say 'ABC' is used internally for production purpose & also sold as a spare part. A sales order for this component is created with a req dt. say 1.3.2008. The system commits the stock to the sales order. A production order is created later with a req. dt for 'ABC' say 1.2.2008. So when i carry out a collective availability check for the plant with ATP checking rule & with availability check reset indicator ticked, i believe the system should reset the commitments made to the sales order & assign the stock to the production order, but it is not happening so. Once the commitment is made to the sales order, it is not resetting, how can i change this behaviour?
Await inputs.
Anyone to help on this?
Edited by: Vivek on Jan 15, 2008 10:56 AM

As we know, availability check is controlled by the combination of checking rule and the checking grp.
U can see this at OVZ9 Screen. checking grp is proposed from material master Sales org 2 view or MRP2 views.
In the OVZ9 screen itself, we are setting what are all the stocks the system has to include when doing availability check.
The checking rule specifies the scope of the availability check for the respective transactions in sales and distribution by specifying precisely which stocks, receipt and issue elements should be taken into account during the availability check.
Every checking rule is allocated to a checking group: together these two elements determine the final inspection requirements. In addition, the checking rule includes a specification whether or not an availability check should take into account the replenishment lead time.
Currently, the checking rule is predefined in SD.
while answering to the second question, i think the system carries out the availability check again at the time of delivery, provided u need to maintain the availabililty check indicator at req. class level.
Hope i answers.

Sales order Availability check for Reservation

hi ,
When i create a sales order , it should check the availability also reserve the required quantity for the order
automatically. pls let me know the step by step process
mohan

Hello,
Availability check with ATP logic can only promise the amount of stock that can be delivered to the customer on a particular date, it cannot reserve the stock until the order the saved. But once you save the order the stock allocation is done automatically.
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.
The system will not allocate or reserve any stock of items until the order is saved.

Sales Order availibility check not triggering GATP in APO

Hi Gurus,
We intend to use GATP in APO. When Sales Person enters any SO and presses for availibility check, it should trigger availibility check in APO. in APO we intend to use RBA with Location substituation rule.
Following are the settings done:-
1) Integration Model for Plant.material and SO are created and activated
2 Created Integration Model for ATP check and ATP customizing
3) Created Check Instruction in APO for check Mode : 050 and Business event : A
4) Created Check Control with ATP Group : 2 and Business Event : A
5) Created all necessary configuration for Location substituation under RBA configuration.
Currently when we create a sales order and selects the item for availibility check , it does a local ATP check in ECC , but it does not trigger GATP in APO.
Am i missing any configuration or master data setting?? Any help will be appreciated.
thanks,
Jaideep

Jaideep,
Assuming you are only using outbound queues, check for blocked or otherwise unprocessed queues. SMQ1 in ERP. SMQ1 shoould have zero entries
You must also have a Sales order Integration model activated, which can also be displayed in CFM5. You should be able to see existing sales orders in APO in //RRP3.
I will assume this is a new implementation, and you have never gotten a successful APO ATP in this system. You should Delete any inactive ATP or Sales order Integration models that contain this material/plant. You should inactivate any duplicate IMs, so that there is only one ATP IM and only one Sales Order IM active for this material/plant, at least until you have solved this problem.
New development also means that some of your developmental trials may have caused the CIF to become inconsistent. You can run program RCFORDCH to clean up CIFORDMAP inconsistencies. You can regenerate the runtime by executing RCIFIMAX using 'generate'. You should delete all your unused T_ATPCHK and T_SLS filter objects with program RCIFIMDL
In general, there are many other helpful tips found in https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/563806 and in the other notes called out in this note.
If there is nothing in the queue, and assuming that you have an active ATP Integration model working, and assuming that all data in ERP is consistent, then there is probably an enhancement interfering with the process. Consult your SD developers to discover which one of the ERP enhancements is stopping APO GATP.

Sales Orders - Availability Checks

Hi,
I would like to have functionality where in "availability check" will only confirm if the delivery date is less than "x" (say 7 days). i.e, if we get an order which has delivery date more than a 1 week, i don't want to confirm it now and take away the stock.
I expect the same thing to happen during bop.
Any hints / tips to implement this.
Thanks,
Ramesh

You can do this type of check useing the replenishment lead time cotrol you can maitian 7 dayes
In Customizing, you define whether the availability for a combination of checking group and checking rule is checked with or without the replenishment lead time.
The replenishment lead time is the time necessary to provide a material either by in-house production or by external procurement:
For external procurement, the replenishment lead time consists of the purchasing department processing time, planned delivery time, and goods receipt processing time - in the same way as for forward scheduling in MRP. The ATP check only includes the planned delivery time.
For in-house production, the system checks whether the total lead time is maintained in the material master (MRP 2 view). This is the estimated production time for a material, including all production levels from raw material procurement to final assembly.
If the total replenishment time is maintained then this is included in the ATP check.
If only the in-house production time is maintained and not this total replenishment time, then the in-house production time is included in the ATP check.
If the total replenishment time and the in-house production time are maintained, then the total replenishment lead time is included in the ATP check.
All times are specified in number of days. The only exception is the planned delivery time; this is specified in calendar days.
Features
You can choose whether or not the replenishment lead time is taken into consideration in the availability check:
If the replenishment lead time is taken into consideration, it has the following consequences:
The availability is checked only for requirements within the replenishment lead time. Requirements outside the replenishment lead time are considered to be available as the system assumes that these materials can be provided by planning within the replenishment lead time.
If you do not want to work with infinite quantities, you can use the Availability Check Against Allocations.
If a requirement cannot be covered by receipts, the end of the replenishment lead time is the earliest date that the material can be confirmed.
If the replenishment lead time is not taken into consideration, the availability is checked for each requirement time without taking the replenishment lead time into consideration.

Sales order - Schedule line or Availability check

Dear friends,
I have one requirement on sales order availability check or schedule line.
When i enter material and quantity in sales order it should not determine stock from one storage location (0003 storage location for damaged goods) through availability check or schedule line whatever.
Can i handle this through any routine or functional config. kindly suggest.
Regards,
Praveen Lobo

Dear Praveen
Dont maintain the storage location 0003 in MMSC. Also, in material master, you dont maintain the "Delivering Plant" so that you will have to input manually in sale order. If Plant is not flowing automatically in sale order, your storage location will also not flow.

Customizing Availability Check in the sales order; EXIT_SAPLATPC_001, etc..

Dear All.
Looking for a way to automatically control what's chosen in the sales order Availability Dialog box depending upon certain conditions.
This is the "Rule for transferring the results of the availability check", field TVTA-REVFP.
The default is blank, which lets the user select what they want. Under certain conditions though we do not want to display the dialog box, and just have the system automatically select "A" which is what's available on the requested date.
Mainly I've been trying to find what REVFP translates to in USEREXIT_AVAILABILITY_IN, and EXIT_SAPLATPC_001.
We've reviewing P_ATPCSX-RESMD, in EXIT_SAPLATPC_001. And trying to set it to "A" in debug with no luck.
Possibly this is too late or too early in process, or the wrong field.
Has anyone done anything like this before or have any ideas on how to approach?
Many Thanks!

Availability check of material against sales order

Dear All,
Please let me know how to check the material availability against a sales order during despatch stage. We are following make-to-order scenario & do create order bom based on Customer requirement. in such case how to generate the list of material available against the sales order line item by entering the following parameters:
1. plant
2. sales order no.
3. line item no.
4. material group
Please help me!!!
Regards,
Anil
Edited by: anil pawar on Jul 30, 2010 11:40 AM

Dear ,
When system perform ATP for any Sales Order , it checks the Total Replishment Lead Time-MRP3 .The total replenishment lead time is the time needed before the product is completely available again, that is, after all BOM levels have been procured or produced. It is not calculated by the system, but defined in this field as the total of the in-house production time(s) and/or the planned delivery time(s) of the longest production path.
This time is necessary if, for materials produced in-house, the replenishment lead time is to be taken into consideration in the availability check.
In an availability check where the system takes the replenishment lead time into consideration, it only checks whether there are sufficient incoming quantities and stocks available to cover the requirements within the replenishment lead time. Outside the replenishment lead time,the system assumes that the material is available in sufficient quantity.
Therefore, in this situation, it is usually necessary to depict the product's total replenishment lead time with all BOM levels as the replenishment lead time.
Now , unless the Requirement Pass through MRP , you can not have BOM explosion at the lowest level and system will give you the result based on the MRP Net Requirement Calculation till the lowest level of BOM as dependent as well as FERT.
At the Sales Order Stage it only checks the Availablility of FG with in RLT which can be proposed or committed but not confimred because BOM Lead Time for compoenets are differnet and it does not perform any requirement planning .
But , you can check after MRP run , you can check the Material Availabity in MD4C , CO46 , MD04 etc where it will also give you a clear report on the Requirement Date , Committed Date , Qty to be procurede , Qty to in Stock all of them .
Before MRP if you want to check the Order BOM , then you may have to go for Z-report based MARD , VBAK , MARC , STPO etc .
Please refer some of the beautiful threads on this topic :

Disable Availability Check on Sales Order But Activate on Outbound Delv

Greetings all experts !
Currently, there's a new request to create a new processes whereby during the sales order creation, no availability check will be in place but material will still be posted to production planning ( TOR ).
Availability check instead should be activated during the creation of outbound delivery.
I have already configured in such a way that the relevant sch line item ( VOV6 ) - availability check is unchecked and TOR is checked.
But during creation of sales order, availability check is still in place for material specified.
I have check on the necessary requirement class and requirement type settings. Fyi, requirement class used - availability check is ticked. Could this be the reason even though i have disabled availability check on sch line ?
I have tried to untick the availability check setting in requirement class ( OVZG ), and while this can disable the availability check in Sales order, but that configuration will also disable availability check in outbound delivery.
My queries :
1 ) What are the configurations that I need to look into to cater to the above request. To disable availabilty in sales order but instead, run availability in outbound delivery ?
2 ) Is there any way I can disable the availability check on based on sales order type using userexit or function module ?
3 ) Is there any additional function module/bapi/userexit that i can implement to force outbound delivery to run availability check ?
My apologies for such lenghty message here but really really need some valuable feedback here as I'm totally at lost with the new requirement for now.
Many thanks in advance.
Warmest Regards,
Edie O

In SPRO
goto SD>Schedule line>Define schedule line categories
here check if the schedule line category associated with your mentioned order has a flag ticked for Availability.
Availability check for sales
You must carry out an availability check for the following transaction.
The indicator is determined as a proposal in conjunction with the respective requirements type. It can be changed in individual shipping transactions. However, only one restriction is effective.
Example
You do not set an indicator for maintaining the requirements type. In this case, no availability check is carried out. This is independent of the selection in the respective transaction.
You set an indicator for maintaining the requirements type. In this case you can decide whether or not you require an availability check for the relevant transaction.

Stop creation of reservations against the sales order

Hi
I have a situation here can any body help me out?
For a single material there are two types of sales orders like export and local sales.
Now as the sales orders are large enough and can deliver over the six month or more.
This sales order creates large quantity reservation and due to this other sales order not confirmed although stock is available.
Now we want to stop creation of reservations against the sales order as well as availability check in sales order (availably check may be able to by pass using item category).
But we still want reservation against other production orders.(where the material as BOM component)

Hi,
check below options
1. You can maintain Reason for rejection
2.. you can maintain BN in sales order schedule line category
Let's wait other experts to answer this
