APO ATP - ATP Check for batch stock

Hi experts
We have an interesting scenario on which i dont have much exposure. The client promises stock from specific batches. eg. a particular sales order can only be confirmed from a specific batch. The details of the batch is provided on the sales order. Is there a way that GATP addresses this requirement. If yes then can someone please share the config details to set up such a scenario.
Thank You
Rajiv Sarin

Hi Rajiv,
Let me know if you could discover this. This could be oft required function in GATP. But i presume the batch determination (automatic-FIFO, LIFO etc) would precede the availability check and hence subsequent processes of delivery and PGI would have to "honour" it physically as well once confiemed on order.. If e.g. RF trasactions are used and batch numbers at HU or item level are scanned, then it would be impossible for picking to happen as this lends itself as sure case of physical inventory violation.
I imagine a whole lot of developments of GATP esp. considering customers expectations wrt. "variants (not a in VC-CA)", "make (e.g any 3 models of phones available for same price with a connection)", "regular/gift pack", "age(2002 make motorbike)" etc. even if to begin with they dont make different saleable, plannable, traceable or accoutable products..they only make some extra options (maintained nowhere in the system) available for some historical reasons. Its also likely that for the same order partial quantities are confirmed at different locations (using MLATP).. e.g. regional DC, factory, retail outlet or some other private retailer (sales order converting itself partially to a purchase order) with or without consolidation.
Also likely are options wrt customer delievry locations (ship to parties) that again lends a strong business case to make full use of advanced availablity checks, consolidation(at original location of check), automatic STO's being trigerred to a given location, MISL (the best possible consolidation location),.. and bring in the concept of ATP optimizer (cost based) or MAD based (due date based) and an ATP strategy. (much more complex then rule strategy) in a sense that there is a lot of value to be "unlocked" with some creative order promising that would lend itself to complete line and order fill rate even when there appears to be little scope of fulfilling it. Here comes the role of customer service/self service to let customers convince themselves with better options., that makes the order serviceable and profitable at the same time.
e.g. In a pure MTO kind of scenario GATP could assume even greater significance with its unique abilities to trigger planned orders and purchase requistions, component and capacity checks. incl. checks at SMI slocations, subcon, component vendors, mfg. plants, and plug itself to entire production schedule just from an ATP check of an end product. This could probably be called Automatic ATP. I am sure SAP has thought on these lines and holds a lot on these lines for future releases.

ATP check for batch managed products

Hello All,
I have a requirement for ATP check for batch managed products and would be glad if someone can help me on that. One of the characteristics on my product is expiry date. Business wants to restricts confirming products which has an expiry date of less than 90 days for orders outside the country. How can we achieve that?

Hello
You can try with activating Shelf Life Expiration Date (SLED).
For config, check SPRO - Logistice General - Batch master - SLED
Then finally setup Customer Exit to calculate/check the SLED.
Exit EXIT_SAPLMHD1_001 for enhancement SAPLMHD1.
Further, you can refer following SDN thread for reference/understanding:
- SLED by customer/ material

GATP check for Batch and Batch characteristics

Dear Experts ,
I have a question regarding GATP check
scenario is like this
1) Create a Sales order in a plant
and there are 10 supply DC
consider we are into batch management and the stocks are in Batches with production date and Expiry date
when i create a sales order for qty 1000 , system must do ATP check in all the plants and pick the right batch according to the expiry date
how to handle in GATP
what are the basic steps for configuration and master setup
Thanks & Regards
Raj

*system must do ATP check in all the plants and pick the right batch according to the expiry date*
ATP check and batch determination are unrelated things. Batch determination follows ATP check. but the SLED parameter may not be able to determine batches for the entire confirmed qty as there may be some bacthes that do not qualify the SLED parameter (assume only warehouse stocks being in scope of check) and this may not have been blocked before hand in say a separate stor loc that is excluded from ATP qty
If you want to do ATP check at all locations..then remember that the check is happening at potentailly different material availability dates. It might be prudent to sort all the batches by remaining shelf life..and that might mean if the order qty is 1000.. then you might have 5 plants and 9 batches meeting the criteria based on oldest stocks first.(assuming this is what you would like to do). You then need to create five different line items in the sales order with different delivery plants and then immediately create delivery and do the picking,.
Let me know if you discover a neater solution around this. You can also try global location determination (and a rule control strategy appropriate) in RBA and see if the proposal is as per the expected result. I have my doubts on this. Also to be considered are delivery group correlation to ship the entire qty at one. So you might have to pack 5 deliveries in one shipment..and probably one invoice?

Authorization Check for Special Stock Indicator in IE02

Dear Gurus,
Would like to check with you if there is an authorization check for change in Special Stock Indicator in IE02-SerData Tab?
For example, the User will only be allowed to change the Special Stock Indicator only to "E" - Sales Order.
Would appreciate your help.
Thanks.

Hi,
This cannot be done by using standard auth object. Standard SAP doesnt support control via this field.
Take help of your ABAP team and create an customized authorization object "Z_OBJECT" with field SOBKZ and which check these field value in table EQBS. Assign this auth object to role and profile you want.
Use the user exit IEQM0003 Additional checks before equipment update. Give a logic to check auth object when while using equipment change tcode.

BADI - WORKORDER_GOODSMVT - check for BATCH management

Hi there,
I have implemented WORKORDER_GOODSMVT BADI (Backflush method) to fill the batch number with a default value for a given plant.
This is working fine.
However, I only want to fill this if the Material in the Production Order is "batch managed" (at the moment it's happening for all materials in the Prod. Order ). This indicator field does not appear to be available in the structures of the BADI.
If I look in CO02 for the order, I can see a column called BATCH which is filled with an 'X' in certain cases.
An F1 on the screen field says that it is 'RESBD-SPLKZ'
However, if I check RESB table (or read RESBD using a function module) , this SPLKZ field is always blank for the given order.
Does anyone have an idea why this is, or where I can find a proper "Batch Indicator" field?
All suggestions appreciated.
I have searched forums and can't find relevant solution.
Thanks,
David.

Hi Bruce,
I solved the problem by going to MARC table with material and plant, and checking field MARC-XCHPF ('Batch management requirement indicator').
if this field was set to 'X', I made my change to the CHARG field.
Hopefully this helps you.
this is from a long time ago, I should have updated the post sooner - will mark as solved now.
thanks,
David

Quality check for block stock

Dear QM experts,
I want to know which inspection types is suitable for check a material in block stock.
Here is the case,
First i used insp type 04 for GR from production. After we got the result that the lot is rejected, then we post the stock into block stock. After that my client want to do quality rechecking with a new inspection lot.
So, my question is how SAP can support this business process?
Thanks in advance,
Helly

Hi Amol,
Thanks a lot for ur reply.
I just wanna make sure.
If we use 08, is it means that every goods movement will create an inspection lot unless we make a customizing for the movement type with QM not active ?

Availablity check for Vendor stock

Dear Experts,
During MRP run , the material at vendor stocks are not considered for requirement planning . Actually there is a requirement of 100 materials which we placed in vendor stock . But system is not considering these stock and generating new purchase requisition for these materials . Please explain how to consider these vendor stocks also in requirement planning.

Hi,
1) As per my Knowledge system will not Consider vendor stock
2) it is considered as Special stock as O type
3) so in MRP system will not consider this stock
ADDED
Please Refer the Below thread

Batch Stock quantity population !

I am doing a transfer posting (MB1B) using movement type 541. When I select a batch# I expect the quantity of stock in that batch to populate automatically, which does not happen. System requires you to manually input the stock quantity. Can anyone help me with this! Thanks!

Hi,
Please check for Batch Determination you should have completed following settings.
Batch Management>Batch Determination and Batch Check>Strategy Types
Define Inventory Management Strategy Types
In that please check Access sequence is maintained , Selection section : Class type 023, Class and Selection type should be maintained ( prerequisite You should have class and characteristics)
in Sorting Section : sorting sequence should be maintained. example : EXPIRATION if you are using SLED
Batch Search Procedure Definition-->Define Inventory Management Search Procedure , your procedure should contain the strategy type defined in above step
Batch Search Procedure Allocation and Check Activation-->Allocate IM Search Procedure/Activate Check
In this step Against 541 enter the Search procedure creates in above step.
After above steps.
In master data maintain classification view for material with class 023 through MM01 or CL24N
Logistics -->Central Functions -->Batch Management -->Batch Determination -->For Inventory Management -->MBC1 - Create
Maintain record for your combination
Any try to the total cycle , from raw material purchase onwards
Hope this clarifies,
Thanks & Regards,

ATP Check not workin properly for Batches in MMBE

Dear PP gurus,
I have a problem with ATP check for materials. When i see in MMBE for a material which has 3 batches it shows a problem: The batch a has a quantity 10 but it shows the reserved quantity against this batch as 12. Same is for batch B,ATP check not giving correct results. Please tell me how to correct it.
Some one told me to implement OSS note 1237093 to correct the standard program error introduced with Note 330828.
Please advise how to proceed.

Hi,
Reservation is a kind of requirement. The situation that you describe, that you have in batch A 10 in stock and the reserved quantity is 12 can happen if, for example, you created a production order where this batch is a component, the batch was determined in the order, and either you didn't do an ATP check at batch level, or you issued stock from this batch at a later point in time (without poper ATP).
MMBE is just a report, it is not doing ATP.
I suggest that you review your ATP definitions and processes to find out where the problem is.
Regards,
Mario

ATP check for 'stock in transfer'

I have a scenario which I created a Sales Order for 100 EA of product 'X' shipping from DC01 to a customer. DC01 does not currently have inventory for product 'X'. SAP has inventory only available in DC02.
I created a (two step) STO and an outbound delivery shipping inventory from DC02 to DC01. I issued the 100 EA of product 'X' against the outbound delivery. Transaction MB5T shows the 100 EA 'in transit'.
Under my availability check, on my sales order, the checking rule scope displays, a check on 'Include Stock in transfer'.
Why am I unable to view my stock in transit of '100' EA from the STO process when I look at the ATP check ? How can ATP view the 'Stock in transfer' from the two step STO?
Thank you,
Gustavo

Hi,
Check the settings in t.code OVZ9.
Check the box include purchase orders and select A or X in the field Incl. rel. order reqs field.
After making these settings, just test and update the results.
Do you have batches in the STO? If so are they in restricted status during "in-transit"?
Regards

ATP Check against customer stock for return Sale order

Hi Friends,
Pl.help in this.
1. Is it possible to configure ATP check against Customer stock in a Sale order/Return order/any other way? ( Actuallly, client wants to take back empty cylinders through return sale order by ATP check against the customer stock)

Hi Mani ,
Are you taking cylinder as returable packing item or not?
ex- For soft drinks or beverages industry it pretty common , they use thel returnable package material type and more over why you want use return sales order for this?
Note- Just plz explain scenario to MM and PP People also as availability check with all combination
Hope it is helpful to you,

ATP check for delivery in ECC & Sales order ATP check in APO

Hi All,
Can we do an ATP check for delivery in ECC , but for the same set of Materials- Plant combination , the ATP check when a SO is created should happen in APO .
We do not want to remove the Business event 'B' which is meant for delivery in APO . For some materials we need APO ATP check to happen for delivery & for some it should be in ECC & for SO the ATP check should happen in APO .
Even if we do not have check instructions pertaining to Business event 'B' & a particular check mode (for the materials where the ATP check for delivery should happen in ECC & SO check to happen in APO) , when we are doing an ATP check for delivery , it is still pointing to APO ATP check rather than ECC check .
Any pointers for this is highly appreciated.
Regards
Surendra

Hi Surendra,
For SO, business event is A and for delivery it's B. When integrated with ECC, the check rule in ECC points as biz event in APO.
You can control ATP check by customized settings for check rule in ECC.
Also, by setting requirement class and requirement type in ECC, you control check mode in APO. So, even if you dont define for check mode in APO, the system might refer from ECC for the ATP check settings. Look into your ECC customization for how requirement class is derived and settings for requirement type. (based on MRP type, strategy grp and Item cat).
I'm not sure how you can control ATP to happen for some sales orders/deleveries in ECC and for some in APO, since check mode is mentioned in material master.
However, there are ATP BADIs (business add-ins) available in both ECC and APO, whch can serve your purpose.

Bipin
