Ability to include Batch determination within Availability Check

Hi All,
My client has a requirement where the availability check must be driven based on the batches selected from the batch determination. This works fine when the line item is initially entered. However if the item gets backordered, there is no way to carry out batch determination again.
Has someone encountered this or a similar scenario. For clarity, here are the steps :
1. Sales order creation
- Enter line item
- Batch determination executed
- Availability Check carried out based on batch found
- Schedule line gets created with quantity determined.
2. Backorder processing
- Order is accessed
- Schedule line is accessed
- Availability Check carried out ( no batch determination executed ).
- Schedule line gets updated with the quantity determined.
If anyone has ideas or has worked on getting the batch determination triggered within the availability check or backorder processing, it would be great if you can share your experience here.

My requirement is as follows:
At the time of sales order creation system should check the availability check against the batch which is derived by the automatic batch determination.
Can you please tell me how to configure this senario (availability check on batch level)
Regards
J.Srivastava

Availability check determination XC ----- YC

While creating SO through va01 for Sales organization = 2100,Distribution channel = 01,division = 01. If you enter sold to party( 583382 ) , ship to party( 583382 ) material( ma896n/a ) order qty = 1 and press enter then give credit card type as VISE and credit card no as 4111111111111111 and Exp.Date as 08.2008 then press enter . we are getting Avail.check field as XC. Ideally it should come as YC.
On the other hand if you all the parameters at single time and press enter we are gettting Avail.check field as YC.
So can anybody tell me root cause of determining this avail.check.

Batch determination cannot pick batch

Dear SAP gurus,
We are in SAP ECC 6 EHP 7. We are using batch determination in Delivery and also availability check which include delivery item in the checking.
We have a scenario to transfer 1 pc of tock X from plant A to plant B then to plant C. We are creating STO 1 from plant A to plant B, and then STO 2 from plant B to plant C. STO 1 auto-create delivery 1 and STO 2 auto-create delivery 2. When STO/Delivery created, the stock situation for X is 10 pcs in plant A, 0 in plant B, and 0 in plant C.
When delivery 1 created, batch determination kick in, batch is determined. When delivery 2 created, because there is 0 stock in plant B, batch determination cannot determine any batch. At this time when we see stock requirement list of material X in plant B, there is -1 qty assigned to delivery 2.
After we issue stock X using delivery 1, the stock in plant A become 9, and stock in plant B become 1. Then we edit the delivery, re-trigger the batch determination in the hope now system can get the batch (because the stock already 1 now). But the problem is, it is NOT. It seems that before batch determination kick in, SAP is using availability check to determine whether there is any quantity can be commited to delivery 2. The problem is, because it thinks that planned available quantity is -1, it fails to commit the quantity, thus batch determination cannot kick in.
The weird thing is the planned availability check is -1 in the first place because the delivery 2 itself (!!) Health logic suggest that because I already order something in plant B, when the goods finally arrived in B, I should be able to pick this goods, but apparently it is NOT. I'm almost sure that the problem is in the availability check, as if I dont include delivery in the availability check, SAP able to commit 1 qty and then batch determination kicks in. But I cannot de-activate this, as we dont want Sales Order and DO commit to quantity that already book.
Is there something that I miss in here?
Best regards,
John

Batch determination in Subcontracting order

Hi,
Can any one of you explain me the steps for doing batch determination for subcontracting orders. i am facing the same issue, but i dont know what steps to follow.
our scenario is: we do a GR against a Sub contracted PO using 101 mvt type and when i am trying to post the document, it's asking me to enter the batch for few components which are maintained as vendor consigned stock and in batches.
is it possible to automate the process? can any body explain how to setup the customization for batch determination?
thanks in advance,
Kanth

Follow the below steps.
01. For movement type 543 "O" assign your search procedure T code : OMCG
02. Maintain conditions record or strategy record.
A1) Normaly we use batch determination at delivery level, because at the time of order material may or may not be created.for this material should be configured with batch and batch determination should be checked in sales views of material.
A2) Batch Determination during order Creation.
For this you need to maintain a Classes d for you Material. Depending on the Manufacturing process you can define the characteristics for your material.
Ex: Purity for Medicines, Resistance for Electric Items.
You need to create a class (You might have to create a new class type) which incorporates the characteristic.
First Create the Characteristic Using Ct04 and then using Cl02 create the Class including this characteristic.
Then in your material master Classification View Enter this class.
Then Create a Batch for the particular plant and Stor Loc using MSC1N.Give the value of the characteristics in this batch.
Then go to SPRO ->Logistics General ->Batch Management and maintain the Condition Technique (Procedure, Strategy Types and assignment to sales docs etc).
Then Create the Batch Determination Record using VCH1.

Automatic batch Determination:Batch determination is not possible

Dear Guru's,
I have ticked the automatic batch determination in the item categories.
Defined the records for the batch determiantion: in VCH1.
i have assigned the Batch Determination --> in the Logistics General.
But in the Order Screen : when I go to the batch management ..The system says : The strategy contains no selection specifications".
Where can I set up automatic batch determination at sales order level ?

Hi,
With the following settings, the batches are selected the moment
1: Set up batch determination the way that the batches in batch selection are sorted the right way. e.g. sorted by expiry date
2: Use automatic batch selection in disp view.
A1) Normaly we use batch determination at delivery level, because at the time of order material may or may not be created.for this material should be configured with batch and batch determination should be checked in sales views of material.
A2) Batch Determination during order Creation.
For this you need to maintain a Classes d for you Material. Depending on the Manufacturing process you can define the characteristics for your material.
You need to create a class (You might have to create a new class type) which incorporates the characteristic.
First Create the Characteristic Using Ct04 and then using Cl02 create the Class including this characteristic.
Then in your material master Classification View Enter this class.

Changing Availability Checks in Sales orders

hi there,
Can i easily change the Availability Check in a sales order?
i have 5 sales orde rtypes, and I sometimes want to change the Availability Check, how can i manage this?
thanks

There are three types of availability checks
1. Availability Check with ATP Logic or Against Planning
2. Availability Check Against Product Allocation
3. Rule-based Availability Check
For ATP logic, the Checking group and Checking rule combination determines the availability check parameters. The checking group is maintained in the material master, and not to Sales order type. Hence you can control by having different groups attached to different materials.
If you have Advanced Planner Optimiser (APO) then you can use the Rule based availability check. You can attach a Business transaction to a Sales document type and thus control the availability check in sales order level also.
Refer the below extracts:
Define business transaction
Path : spro -- img -- sd -- BF -- Av chk and TOR --- Rule based availabilty check
In this step you can define the business transactions. These transactions must also be available in the APO planning system. Here the availability check control is carried out for the transactions.You can find the business transactions in the APO planning system (Field BPROC) under:
Global ATP -> Settings -> Rule-based ATP -> Conditions -> Assign rule strategy.
Assign business transaction to sales order type t code VOV8
In this IMG activity, you assign the actions you defined previously to the order types. This activates the availability check settings for this order type, that were maintained in the APO planning system.

Error In Batch Determination

Hello,
I have configured Batch Determination Only for Inventory Management as follows:
-Created Characteristic for SLED
-Class
-Sort Sequence
And assigned them in "Startegy type"
-Strategy Type was created (from copying Standard)
and assigned to "Search Procedure"
This search procedure is assignd to Movement type
Defination of Initial Batch creation for Movement Type is also maintained as - Automatic/manual without Chk.
Batch Classification for Goods movement is activated for MvT- 101 & 561
with indicator 3.
Classification is also maintained in Material Master
Still getting WARNING message while doing Goods Reciept using MvT-561
as follows:
{ Invalid batch according to selection criteria in batch determination
Message no. LB051
Diagnosis:
This batch is not allowed according to the selection criteria assigned to it. The specifications for the batch entered do not match the selection criteria from batch determination.
Procedure:
Check selection criteria for the Transaction}
I just want to determine batches on their SLED
So that when i will issue this batch tht time i can find batch according to shortest SLED.
Can anybody help me????
Thanks

Hi,
Configuration Steps
- Define Inventory management Condition - T.code is OMA1 (Optional)
- Define Acess Sequence (SPRO --> Logistic General ---> Batch management ---> Batch Determination and batch check ---> Access Sequences --> Define Inventory Management Access Sequences (Optional)
- Define Strategy Type :- Logistic General ---> Batch management ---> Batch Determination and batch check --->Strategy Types ---> Define Inventory Management Strategy Types
- Define Batch Search Procedure :- Logistic General ---> Batch management ---> Batch Determination and batch check ->Batch Search Procedure Definition--> Define Inventory Management Search Procedure
- Batch Search Procedure Allocation and Check Activation - T.code OMCG
Now in this T. code if you activate check box for Check Batch then system will throw an
error or warning massage in case of wrong Batch Assignment during Manual Batch allocation.
And I think you are finding the same error (LB051) Correct?
Prerequisites at Master Level
- Material Should be batch managed.
- Batch Class with Characteristic LOBM_VFDAT should be maintained in Material Master
- Create Sort Rule with T.code CU70 (FEFO - First expire First Out)and assign Characteristic LOBM_VFDAT with Ascending rule.
- Create Batch Search Strategy using T.code MBC1 and assign above created Sort rule and batch Class to it.
and if you want to allow more than batches in case of Sort qty then assign no. Batch Spli(Max. allow batch Split is 999)
- Most Important Shelf Life Data should be maintain in all the concern Batches.

Dhaval

Batch determination fails.

Hello All,
Can anyone help me out in this..
When executing CORK, and processing the Goods Movements, the batch
determination within the certain materials will have various materials
"fail"
and then they will reside in the COGI report to get resolved. Upon some
troubleshooting, i found that the batch search strategy or batch
determintion
that does not allow certain materials that do not have a certain batch
class
assigned to get consumed. Seems components that have a Batch Class of
"EP_RAWMAT_CLASS" never have an issue, and those materials that are
being
consumed that do not have this Batch Class assigned always fail
Thanks in advance.

Disable Availability Check Based on Sales Order Type

Hi All SD experts,
Usually ( correct me if i'm wrong ) availability check is set via schedule lines item type. Is there any way that I can disable the availability check based solely on Sales Order Type ? Meaning no matter what item category or schedule lines assigned to materials, availability check will still be disable.
Besides setting in schedule lines type, what are others config that might trigger availability check ? MRP settings ? Movement type ?
Any valuable feedback will be great and much appreciated. A big thank you in advance.
Warmest Regards,
Edie

HI EDIE
    In order for the availability check to happen,the following configuration settings are required.
Availability check:
     a) you have to define requirement class & requirement type.
     b) you have to activate at scheduline category level
     c) in deleviry item.cat ,there is availability check off field,,,,, if u dont mention any values here,then system checks for availability.if u mention 'x' here,then system dont check for availability.
    d) you define checking group and checking rule ,these determine how availability check is going to be performed
MRP:
   MRP determines how material is planned,whether it is inhouse production or external procurement.MRP also determines the time taken for the material to become available for ready use.When ever an order is rised,the requirement is passed to MRP through transfer of requirements(TOR), here MRP determines the inhouse production time or external procurement time.
Movement Type: Movement type determines the type of material movement ,whether it is Goods Issue ,,, or ,, Goods Recipt,,,,, stock transfer between two plants etc.Movement type is determined in schedule line category level.

Availability check box at schedule line level and requirement class level

Hi All
What is the significance of availability check field at schedule line level and requirement type level.
If I remove the check box at schedule line level, then there won't be any availability check carried out in the sales order, even though in requirement class it is checked. Is it for doing availability once the requirement is passed to MRP...
In make to stock scenario, no availability check is active at schedule line level.
scenario 1. stock is 0 in plant, when i place an order for 10 quantity, does system give any confirmed quantity on so and so date...or the confirmed quantity will be zero or as there is no availability check carried out, it confirms 10 quantity on customer requested delivery date and the time of creation of delivery, it gives an error message stating zero quantity is available. which one is correct in all the above.
In make to order scenario, no availability check is active at schedule line level.
order was created for 10 qty, as there is no availability check active, does the system give some date based on the lead times maintained in the material master or not?
Regards
Sree

Hi sreekar
The significance of availability check at schedule line level is to determine weather availability check and TOR should be carried out for sales orders or not.
If you remove check box at schedule line level , availability check and TOR wont be carried out at sales order level.
Coming to the scenario you said , make to stock , i think the availability check you are using is 01 make it 02. which is planned requirements. and stratergy group as 10. in MRP3 view in MMR. .
as the availability check u have put 01 & stratergy group as 10 availability check doesnt carry
coming to the scenario 2 , if the stock is 0 in plant and if you create a sales order, then the confirmed quantity should be 0 and that particular order will go to backorder processing.
sometimes it confirms the ordered quantity as the confirmed qunatity, and it gives a confiremed delivery date on which the stock is confirmed , but that date is a tentative date.
all these unconfirmed orders will go to backorders. once the qunatity is confirmed automatically , delivery date also will be done
Coming to scenario 3 , when you create MTO order there will be availability check checked at the schedule line level. can you tell wat is the schedule line you are getting is it CP or ND?
for schedule lines , ND - no availability check will be there , PD - availability check will be there
Note: plz check 1st the availability check you have entered in MMR , if it is 01 make it as 02. and then run these cycles.

Quantity available in Batch determination

Dear Experts,
I have an issue in batch determination in process order. I do batch determination for the component in process order. The same batch can be assigned to two process orders in split quantity. Since the component is allowed with negative stock posting, sometimes the reservation will remain uncleared if the goods issue posted is greater than the allocated batch quantity.
Since there is an uncleared reservation, the deficit quantity is reduced from next batch. So the quantity shown in the next batch during batch determination is less than what is actually available in stock.
Is these any possible way to fix this and ignore the negative stock during batch determination
Thanks in advance
Prathib

Dear,
Go to T.code OPJJ.Select your Checking rule (which you have assign in your Checking Control for your Order Type in T.code OPJK) and activate Check for Include Reservation and dependent reservation as X.
