ATP-Availability check

Hi gurus,
Please add ur valuable contributions over the ATP check on materials. How and when it is performed, what are the effects of it etc. This could be a learning experience to people like me who have just started a career in SAP.
Thanks & Regards,
Deepak Prasanna S

Hello Deepak,
In the availaibility checking group you can define which stocks (quality stock, safety stock), firmed receipts (production order, purchase order) are need to checked against a requirement (issues like sales orders) as available stock in the net requirement calculation.
suppose you have requirement in the next month and current the stock is nil but at the same time you have incoming receipt (firmed planned order) then during availibilty check MRP will not create one more planned order. (if you have defiend to consider the firmed reciepts into availaibity check).
Manually you can always create receipts for the requiremnts...Manual creation has no influnce of the availibility check.
With the availability check you can also carryout the check for the missing parts and committed quanityt againt the requirement from CO24 and MDVP transactions.
Hope this will help you.

  • BADI for Automatic Availability Check

    Hi all
    I was working with the BADI CRM_ATP_INFO_BADI. In the method TRIGGER_EXECUTION I set the parameter CV_TRIGGER_AUTOMATICAL = 'X'. But in CRMD_ORDER, an error is coming: Availability check: ATP check could not be carried out.
    I have checked out in the OSS notes and I got a relevant note 810342. But whatever was mentioned in the correction instructions were already done.
    Can anyone plz help me with this BADI?
    Thanks and regards

    Hi,
    For Strategy 60 , Availablity check is carried out "Check against planned independent requirements" , inthat case Only planned independent requirements are taken into accout and Confirming. There is no ATP check logic.
    Do u mean to say, system has to confirm , considering the requirement qty from  future Receipt  .
    I think , Check against a replenishement lead time (RLT) is possible only  ATP available  check.

  • Availability check disabled in order

    Hi,
    If we disable availability check, ATP in sales orders and deliveries, what happens in the delivery creation. Normally when there is availability check in the delivery creation the confirmed quantitiy and the confirmed delivery date in the schedule line is controlled and if the quantity is not confirmed then system does not allow to create delivery. If we disable the ATP, availability check in order how the system act?
    The need of the business is that they plan ithe production n a 3. party and they don't update SAP with the planning result because their shipment schedule is not related with the production planning. Their customer decides the shipment schedule even if the materials are in stock sometimes their production plan change and they can even try to create the delivery of a product whihc is still being produced.

    Hello
    The best way to check this is in your development server...(Take off the availaibility check and transfer of requirements indicator of schedule line category...and also the delivery item category)
    You should be able to create an order and will be confirmed immediately and should be able to create a delivery.You will need stock before you can post goods issue....
    I do not know if in such a scenario they will be manually able to control the product allocation...because in case you have several deliveries then the users can select any delivery and post goods issue as long as the  stock exists....
    Thanks

  • Componenet availability check / ATP

    Dear All,
    We have created a purchase Order for subcontractor who produce an assembly for our product. We have attached a Bill of material which has three to four material as an Alternate material. We have set the Alternate group , priority , strategy as 2 check for 100% availability as well as probability also based on the requirement.
    When we explode the BOM from the same Purchase order / Job work order to check the Requirement. System displays the entire list of component along with the Alternative materials alongwith the Requirement as per BOM.
    When we check the Component availability ( selecting from menu) , system shows the available Qty against One material and other alternate material requirement qty becomes zero.
    But the problem is when we check the stock of the component / Altenate material. through MMBE , it shows zero quantity in stocks, But there is Purchase order for the original  component alternater material  of more then required qty.
    Our requirement is that System should not consider the pending PO qty while doing ATP / component availabity check at the time of creating reservation for the material defined into Jobwork / Subcontractor Order.
    Pending PO qty which is not received  at plant, then how the same can be used allocated to Reservation.
    May tyou please let us know that what parameter we have to set into SAP system  so that system should not consider the pending po qty for availablity check.
    thanks

    I have run OPJJ but in this the checking rule "02" is defined for PP - " Production Order" while running MRP.
    We want to apply the checking rule for Purchase Order where we can exclude the same.
    We would like to know that how can we define the new checking rule for Purchase Order and assign the same to it.
    We have seen that checking rule which is showing in the ATP list of component is PP and availability check " 02".
    In Checking rule " PP " and 02 , Purchase Order is included. If we remove the same then while running MRP  , system will not consider the purchase order.
    let us know that how can we create new purchase rule for Purchase order.
    thanks

  • ATP Buckets of Global settings for Availability check

    Hi ALL
    I have changed the Bucket Parameters and activated ATP time series in Global Settings for Availability Check in Devolpment Server.
    I try to transport these settings but ATP Buckets (Active) are not transprting to the Quality.
    Please give your suggestions , how to transport these settings to the quality and prodction envirorment?
    Thanks
    Kanth

    Hi Datta,
    Thanks for your time and reply.
    There is a requirement before you transfer changes to ATP bucket paramters .
    >Can you please eloborate your above statment.
    Make sure that the updating of ATP time series is activated in Quality and also in production system.
    You set this indicator in Model and Planning Version Management from the SAP Easy Access screen by choosing Master Data -> Planning Version Management -> Model and Version Management.
    >You mean that i need to activate ATP Time series in all envirorments for which i need to delete the version.In our process already PPDS was implemented and  running in Production.We cannot delete the active version.
    These settings are not transpotable?

  • Availability Check with ATP Logic  or  Against Planning-reg

    hi gurus,
    what is the difference between
    Availability Check with ATP Logic
           or         
    Against Planning
    means can we have two types of check?
    how can we do against planning?
    rajendra

    Hi Prasad,
    I think it would not possible to maintain to procedures at the same time for single material.
    availability check against ATP is  allowcation of material based on certain rules like which we set under basic functions - AC.
    In this process you cant allocate the stock for specific customer.
    In case of AC against planning you can allocate each and every material along with qty to specific customers.
    Please see the configuration required for planning.
    1. Allocation Procedure (OV1Z) the product allocation procedure is the parent of the entire allocation process. All materials that are to be included in the allocation scheme are required to have an allocation procedure assigned to it in the material master. In addition, as of release 4.0, it is in the procedure that the method of allocation is defined. The user has the opportunity to set an indicator to identify their choice of two different methods (discrete and cumulative allocation) to evaluate the quantities to be considered for product allocation. 
    2. Allocation Object (OV2Z) the allocation object is the root level of the allocation process where actual data is entered and planned in LIS. The object allows the user to further break down a procedure into smaller parts for future validation of components comprising a specific material 
    3. Allocation Hierarchy Mapping (OV3Z) Primarily, this transaction permits the assignment of an allocation procedure to an LIS information structure. Secondly, a character is assigned to the information structure to permit collective planning. Finally, the user can assign a step level to the procedure and information structure to sequence the order in which allocation quantities are checked. This functionality allows the user the opportunity to check product allocation against several product allocation scenarios, before the required quantity is confirmed 
    4. Define Consumption Periods (OV5Z) The allocation consumption periods functionality is only valid if the allocation method flag has been set (OV1Z). If you have de-selected the method field, this functionality is not available. The consumption window indicates the number of past and future periods to be used in the allocation check. 
    5. Control Product Allocation (OV4Z) In order for the allocation process to function properly, allocation control records are created primarily to map allocation procedure steps to their corresponding objects so that the allocation data records can be located for validation. Secondly, validity periods must be established to indicate when the allocation control records are active. Finally, the user has the option of establishing a conversion factor per allocation control record to accommodate BOM listings of constrained materials 
    6.Activate Allocation for Requirement Class (OVZ0) In order to turn on allocation in the standard order processing functionality, the requirements class must have a flag indicating that allocation is relevant. 
    7. Activate Allocation for Schedule Line Category (OVZ8) In order to turn on allocation in the standard order processing functionality, the schedule line must have a flag indicating that allocation is relevant 
    8. Create Planning Hierarchy (MC61) In order to adequately establish allocation quantities, the user must initially determine the level at which the allocation is to take place and the aggregation factor of the allocation quantities. In this step, the levels for the collective allocation search procedure are also identified. 
    9. Generate Masking Character (OV7Z) Upon completion of the level determination for the planning hierarchy, the collective allocation masking character must be generated to allow aggregation indicators to be established. This transaction simply reads the hierarchy established in the planning table and then generates a collective mask character for each level of the hierarchy 
    10. Modify Planning Hierarchy (MC62) This step is a repeat of MC61 where the initial hierarchy was established. In order to complete the hierarchical set up, the collective allocation (mask character) hierarchy must now be maintained with the appropriate aggregation factors 
    11. Allocation Procedure Assignment to Material Master (MM02) At the root level of the allocation process are the materials. Each material that is to be considered in allocation scenario must be mapped to an allocation procedure. In order entry, then, when a material is entered with a valid allocation procedure in the material master, the allocation data is verified prior to confirming the line item ordered 
    12. List of Suitable Structures (OV9Z) This report is used to identify potential LIS information structures that can be used in the product allocation process. This report simply reads through the data dictionary and selects all the active information structures that contain the field product allocation object (KONOB) as the first field. This data can then be utilized in the mapping transaction (OV3Z) to link the allocation procedure step to an information structure (previous step).

  • CRM Availability Check not working for certain Item Category

    Hi there,
    I have a situation where for certain order type/item category combinations, the availability check on the same material is not working.
    The check is set up to happen in SAP ECC.
    I have checked the config. under SPRO->CRM->Basic Functions->Availability Check->Availability Check using SAP ECC
    as per many SDN posts on this, and everything looks fine.
    The new item category, which was a copy of an existing one, works (i.e. gives availability) for certain order types, but not others.
    If I create the same order directly in ECC, it works correctly every time.
    I searched the code (from consultants who set it up originally) and can see nothing specific to the order type/ item category.
    I also put a breakpoint on AVAILABILTY_CHECK function module in SAP ECC - it is not being hit, in the case where check is not successful.
    Breakpoints in MV45AFZZ (Sales Order userexit) also not being hit, but they are hit for the Order/item category combination when it works successfully.
    Any suggestions on where else this could be configured would be appreciated!
    thanks,
    David

    Hi David,
    One 'simple' reason for this could be that the copied item category does not have the
    ATP Profile set up in the item category in the IMG. Make sure you have an ATP profile assigned in the area 'ATP Profile' in the item category.
    Please see as well the SCN Wiki link:

  • How to execute availability check against delivery date in purchase order

    Hi all
    In MD04, I know that "available date = delivery date in purchase order + GR processing time" & "GR date = delivery date in purchase order". When I execute availability check in production order, I will get material's committed date = available date. But I hope to get material's committed date = GR date in purchase order.
    For example. delivery date in purchase order is 2012/02/06 and GR processing time is 2 days. After ATP in production order, I will get committed date 2012/02/08. But I hope it show 2012/02/06. How to customize it.
    (The GR processing time must be set 2 days for MRP calculation. it can be changed to 0.) Thanks!!

    Hi Rita,
    One Doubt, If you say that material commited has to be the GR date and you do not wish to wait for GR processing time, then why do you have the GR processing time in first place.
    For ex. My client, we get the stock as per GR in Quality inspection and so we have GR processing time considered for available time in MD04. But since the business considers the Inspection stock as avialble, The stock gets reflected in avialibility check the moment GR is done.
    So please explain your requirement in detail. There could some way to do so. If not the raise an issue with SAP.

  • Availability check on schedule lines of contract

    Hi,
    We have maintained 2 line items (L1 and L2) with same material (M1) in contract. Also these two line items have schedule lines maintained.
    e.g.
    L1  :  S1,S2
    L2 :   S3,S4
    Now we create a sales order in reference to line item L1 and do an availability check.  The ATP does not show schedule lines for S1,S2 in availability overview. only S3,S4 quantities is taken into consideration for ATP calculation.
    We have activated availability check at schedule line level.
    Any pointers as to why S1,S2 requirements are not shown in availability overview
    P.S.  If we create a sales order in reference to line item L2 ,then the ATP does not show schedule lines for S3,S4 in availability overview. only S1,S2 quantities is taken into consideration for ATP calculation.
    Any pointers will be highly welcome.
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    Sorry, for Sch. AV check is not activated but TR is activated.
    For material ATP is activated- check in MM03

  • Schedule lines in Availability Check Delivery Proposal screen

    Hi,
    This is in continuation to an earlier thread that I had created about Sales Orders not getting CIFfed across to APO. I have a situation in a different system where this is being configured for data transfer. The problem here is not about CIF. All issues pertaining to CIF were addressed in the earlier thread.
    This question is primarily about schedule lines of the sales order not opening up for confirmation in 'APO Availability Check: Delivery Proposal' screen as in this link: https://docs.google.com/leaf?id=0B78qjSKXsqbeNDFjMzlkM2MtMDNlOS00ODFmLWJmYjktYmU0ZDU5Zjk0ZDlh&sort=name&layout=list&num=50&authkey=CO2E0ZYN
    It is perhaps some config that is changed or missing that is causing this problem.
    Kind regards,
    Srikanth

    Srikanth,
    This is what the screen looks like when the ATP you have configured cannot confirm anything.  The only button available to you is to proceed without confirming the order. 
    An example of the types of reasons would be no allocation available, no stock available, no supply elements available, too many existing requirements, etc etc.  Improper or incomplete APO GATP configuration could unfortunately also be the culprit.
    You have two icons at the top, check instructions and Allocation.  Click on these buttons, and they may give you clues as to what is causing your problems. 
    Best Regards,

  • Issue with availability check

    Hi,
    We are creating delivery for stock transfer order using customised transactions via ATP check. During ATP check, the system is indeed creating outbound delivery, but with zero quantity.
    I checked the stock in MMBE, it is showing stock. Also in MB5B, the stock was available on posting date. Why the system, then created outbound delivery with zero quantity.
    Can anyone please suggest?
    Thanks in Advance,
    Nisha

    Hi Nisha,
    Check the following
    IMG>>MM>>Purchasing>>PO>>Setup STO>>Define Checking Rule and select the one you are using (Use avail check 02 with checking rule 01)
    Next in Assign Delivery type and checking rule check for proper assignmnets for..
    Doc Type-Supply Plant-Del Type-Chk rule-check box ticked for Shipment scheduling
    Your delivery type should be NL for Intra company STO and NLCC for cross company STO.
    Make the ATP check in the STO PO and confirm things working.
    Chk n revert

  • Availability  check in Enjoy Purchase Order & Requisition

    Hi Experts,
    The availability check is used in 4.7E also but what is difference in Ecc 6.0 or new functionality added
    Can any one plz let me know
    Regards
    Pratap

    Below is capture from sap release documentation :
    Availability Check in Enjoy Purchase Order and Requisition
    (Changed)
    Use
    As of SAP ECC 6.0, SAP_APPL 600, display and checking of availability are invokable separately in the
    Enjoy purchase order and requisition in line with the system behavior on the Sales side.
    You invoke the display and checking of availability in the Enjoy purchase order (transaction code
    ME21N) and the Enjoy purchase requisition (transaction code ME51N) as follows:
    - To display the availability overview, choose Environment -> Availability
    - To check availability, choose the Check Availability icon.
    13.6.16.3 System Behavior After Availability Check for an Item (Changed)
    Use
    If you carry out the availability check for an item of a stock transport order, hitherto the system adopted
    confirmations as per the desired date/time only.
    SAP AG 30
    ______________________________________________________S_A_P_-S_y_s_te_m_
    As of SAP ECC 6.0, SAP_APPL 600, you can define in Customizing how the system reacts if the desired
    quantity cannot be confirmed for the desired date/time.
    You have a choice of two settings:
    - Confirmation as per desired date/time
    This is the standard setting and corresponds to previous system behavior.
    - Delivery proposal
    - Full confirmation
    Effects on Customizing
    You make the settings in the Rule for Adoption of ATP Results in Purchasing field in Customizing for
    Purchasing under Purchase Order -> Set Up Stock Transport Order -> Assign Delivery Type and
    Checking Rule.
