ATP Check for Components for Variant Configuration

Hi Gurus,
Does it exist a way to perform the ATP Check for components (in variant configuration) like in a test?
I mean, I know that when I create a SO (with the correct settings) the system will perform the ATP Check for components (Missing parts list). But is it possible to do this without trying to create the SO? Maybe a tcode as CU50 or PMEVC where I could enter the variant configuration values, then it explodes the BOM and do the ATP Check (as a simulation).
Thanks in advance.
Best regards.

Hi Christopher,
If you enable the "Component Availability" within your configuration profile (under Confign initial screen, Confign Parameters), then you will see an additional option within CU50 while configuring. By pressing this button, you can see an availability check as of the date specified on the CU50 initial screen. You can also modify the quantity on the CU50 initial screen for a more realistic simulation of a sales order (where a customer may order more than one of a product). See screenshots below:
In CU42:
In Value Assignment of CU50:
Hope this helps!

ATP Check(in SCM ) for a Configurable product during sales order creation.

HI Guru's,
our client is implementing GATP(SCM) and Variant Config(ECC 6.0)
when a Sales order is created for a Configurable Product of 20" width and 10" diameter, and with some other Characteristics, He wants the ATP check to be done for that particular product with specific width and diameter.
Is there any possible solution?
Plz let me know....
Thanks
jk

Hi
Assuming that you know how to configure Variant configuration in R/3, ATP check in R/3 I will list down the ATP set up and setup relevant to Variant Configuration in SCM.
APO side.
1.Check Definition of Characteristics and Class system:
SAP APO - Implementation Guide -> SAP Advanced Planner and Optimizer (SAP APO) -> Basis Settings -> Define Class System (CDP or Classical Characteristics)
2. Check Mode ( use same requirements class used in R/3 mat master)
SAP APO - Implementation Guide -> SAP Advanced Planner and Optimizer (SAP APO) -> Global Available-to-Promise (Global ATP Check) -> General Settings -> Maintain Check Mode
3. Create a check instruction with your check mode and AE(make to stock SD order) combination and set up the desired ATP check method in it.
SAP APO - Implementation Guide -> SAP Advanced Planner and Optimizer (SAP APO) -> Global Available-to-Promise (Global ATP Check) -> General Settings -> Maintain Check Instructions
4. Check Control with your ATP group and AE business event.
SAP APO - Implementation Guide -> SAP Advanced Planner and Optimizer (SAP APO) -> Global Available-to-Promise (Global ATP Check) -> Product Availability Check -> Maintain Check Control
5.Maintain suitable scheduling horizon in SAP APO - Implementation Guide -> SAP Advanced Planner and Optimizer (SAP APO) -> Supply Chain Planning -> Production Planning and Detailed Scheduling (PP/DS) -> Global Settings -> Maintain Global Parameters and Defaults -> Planning Tab
5. Don't forget to CIF classes and charecteristics
6. Maintain check mode, ATP group, PP/DS horizon, planning procedure 3 in product master.
If you want to trigger production you have to maintain planning procedure 5 in product master and appropriate settings for MATP like configure check instructions, production type Mutli level ATP. you have to have valid BOM and Routings, CIF PDS for the material, maintain production version in material master, etc. That will be quite a complex scenario again.
This should give you proper results. Hope this helps.

SD- Sales Order - ATP check not working for few item in same sales order

Hi Experts,
Need help we activated ATP check but for few item i could not find confirmation qty after availability check. In same SO out of 4 items for schedule line it confirming qty for 2 item but it's not confirming for remaining 2 items though stock is available. Please guide me how to correst and what need to check.
Manoj

Dear Manoj,
As you know, ATP is a big subject & some times its difficult to point the exact problem.
In your case, I suggest you to execute the function module:BAPI_MATERIAL_AVAILABILITY using Tx:SE37
key in selection criteria , in results check the "ATPQTY"- it will show you how much actual stock is available for use i.e. ATP qtty.
still if you find the availability & system not confirming the qtty, then problem could be in checking rule
Tx:OVZ9 check in relevant combination, whether you are considering RLT or not?
is this case with MTS or MTO
because in Sales order -
for MTS - checking rule "A" & MTO checking rule will be "AE"

FM for Uploading Delivery address for Components for PM Work Order (IW31)

Can any one please help me out in finding any Function module or any other method for uploading the Delivery address for Components to SAP system in transaction IW31 for PM Work Order.

Hi
I am using text items (T Text item).Therefore, there will be no checking for those items form a MM prespective.
There is no error appear. The only thing is that i have status MANC (Mat.availability not checked) on my WO
I'm just trying to figure out if status should be removed some how, or if this is the normal behaviour.
Many thanks

Subcontracting: error during GI for components for SC PO with HU

Dear Experts,
Currently I am using ECC 5.0, IMWMHU for a receiving storage location.
The problem is as follows:
1. I've transferred 10 EA of component A to Vendor's Sub-Co stock using movement 541 via MIGO from HU-relevant SLOC
2. SAP created outbound delivery, I've created/confirmed TO, HU was assigned correctly. I've posted goods issue from using VL02N without any problems. Vendor's SC stock was updated (ME2O shows correct quantities), delivery status is completed.
3. Now, I want to consume the components and produce the assembly and here I am facing the issue. In MIGO - GR for PO assembly and a component are displayed. I assign the batch and all required information (I am receiving to HU-relevant SLOC). When posting the goods movement SAP issues strange message: "Notified quantity exceeded by 10 EA. Message no. M7248". When I remove the tick-off from the component to be consumed, the inbound delivery for assembly is created without any problems.
I've tried the same flow with receiving SLOC changed to only IM relevant (no HU, no WM) and the posting went through without any problems, consuming and receiving correct materials.
Have you encountered this problem before? OSS note 501686 seems to be about this problem, but it refers only to 470 and the field the note refers to says "B - Source stor.locat.HU-managed. Dest.stor.locat.not HU-managed", which is correct.
Thanks for any help,
Jacek

Hi Jacek,
Did you ever find a solution to this issue, maybe by working with SAP? I am actually facing the exact same issue (I am doing subcontracting in an WM and HUM managed facility), and I am wondering how you were able to solve it.
Thanks,
Adam

Custom ATP Check using Variant Configuration Data in sales order

I have a requirement to modify the standard SAP ATP check by including the variant configuration data entered on a item. Standard SAP does not use/include the characteristics data when doing the ATP. None of the available user exits would allow me to do this.
The scenario is the client has a configurable product that exist in inventory as one item, base unit as IN2. The batches that exist in inventory have the characteristics of width and length. The order data specifies a width and a length, they need the ATP to identify the availability based on the characteristics of the batch.
The solution was to present the user with a list of batches based on the characteristics that meet the criteria. The user would then have the option of choosing one of the batches which would mean that the line item would include the batch #. If the user does not want any of the batches, they could choose to select a Make to Order option, which would change the item category of the item, so that it creates a production order upon saving the order.
The problem I am having implementing this solution is I have not been able to identify the internal table(s) that contains the characteristics data in SAPMV45A after the configuration screen is called. If anyone knows where that information is during the sales order processing, it would be greatly appreciated.

Hello Jean,
Have you managed to find a solution as yet? I know you have not received any replies but am hoping you were able to resolve the problem as we are facing the exact issue on our project.
Please let me know,
Thanks,
Tanya

ATP check for component materials

Hello experts,
The ATP check was initially designed for a kitting process. BOM Material would be kitted in the distribution center(DC) and sent to a garage. Sales orders are created with BOM materials for a garage and there is a multi- level GATP process in place. Since BOM materials do not exist at a garage the check would be performed at a DC for components after BOM explosion. The existing configurations in R3 and APO are for a make to order process(Strategy group of 50 for BOM's and 40 for component).
We are now introducing new materials for an existing material and have the need for product substitution on the sales order, if the existing material is out of stock at the DC. To enable this functionality we are having to perform an ATP check for the sales orders at the distribution center, though the sales order is created for a garage. To improve on the response times during the ATP check our design approach, is to convert the BOM materials in the sales order to component materials with material determination(one BOM material is tied to one component material) and performing the ATP check with components at the DC.
While testing we are facing the following issues:
1)Sales order placed on a garage is substituted with the DC after product substitution. This does not occur when product substitution is carried out with BOM's.
2)During the order create, the ATP checks for check mode u201845u2019 and business event u2018AEu2019 for a given material in a DC shows zero stock. While for the same material,location and business event AE the product availability check in APO reflects stocks available.
Is it feasible to do ATP checks for component material in a sales order which was initially designed to work with BOM materials? Am I missing some configuration settings in either APO or R3?
Regards,
Anil DeSouza

Hi Anil,
Yes it can be done.
1) For finished product & garage combination -
activate RBATP in the check instructions.
2) in the location substitution maintain 'location determination sctivity'. Here you maintain different check mode & business event -- ( this is nothing but check instruction --- in thsi you maintain 'MATP').
Hope this anws your first qus.
To addressing your 2nd question....follow below steps.
1) Do ATP from sales order, get onto results screen, click on product availability & check for 'scope of check' (check control) and look for the stock types that are included. Based on this your receipts are consdiered for ATP confirmation.

Deepthi

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

Duplicate depedent requirements for components

Hi Gurus,
We have KANBAN separate storage location which is a not a WM managed location for which we have defined control cycles for SFGs but their components are managed in other than KANBAN location which is WM managed storage location.
Now the issue is we have independent requirements created for those SFGs to plan components as KANBAN storage location is excluded from MRP the requirements are not created for SFGs but dependent requirement passed to components as the storage location is MRP relevant, apart from these there are independent production orders are created for KANBAN SFGs through KANBAN demand board for which another dependent requirements are passed to components by which for components we can see duplicate dependent requirements are created.
We cannot create KANBAN control cycle for WM managed location so the reason we have separate storage location for SFG control cycles and we cannot maintain the SFG components in non WM managed storage location.
Is there any possibility to create control cycles with WM managed location? Or is there in any way to control having created only one dependent requirement for components through standard configuration or through any enhancement?

I have an workaround for this situation ''We can have demand created for components itself rather than creating for SFGs to plan them in advance and we can control dependent requirements creation for components from KANBAN production order with MM MRP setting''
Any body have any better solution than this?

GATP check on a Material Variant of a configurable material

Hi Experts,
In ECC side material variant is created . with reference to a configurable material of type KMAT.
The same configurable material is also used a pricing reference material for the material variant.
The configurable material is not relevant for production has no MRP tabs created. It is also not relevant for ATP check.
Material variant is of MTS strategy and relevant for ATP check.
Configurable material is not CIF'ed to APO. ECC ATP check was working fine. While doing GATP check , it is showing following error and not doing ATP check.
Product for external product number XXXXXXX and
BSG BSG1 does not exist .
XXXXXX---> is the configurable material.
Do I need to CIF across classes , characteristics and configurable material to APO even if I am doing ATP check on the material variant.

Hi,
No need to CIF across Class and Characteristics.
CIF across the Material ( Guess this material is just one Material). Activate the ATP Model for that material.
You need to maintain "CDP" in the customizing instead of Variant configuration in APO.
This should work.

How to create Variant Configuration Material Master in SAP PP

Dear Friend's,
Pl 's guide me for How to Create Variant Configuration Material Master.
Give me step by step procedure for Creation of Variant Configuration.If some of you having screen shots for the same with one Example, that will be a very helpful to me for creating VC.
Thanks & Regards,
Sandeep N.Theurkar

Hi,
Eg: Ford car.If a sale order is raised for fiesta lxi model the system should choose red colour & for vxi blue colour respectively.
ie you need to define the characteristic and assign the values .
This characteristic need to assigned to class.
class need to be assigned to material master
1. T.code : CT04(characteristic) FORD_MODEL, Choose single value & entry required tab & give the input as 01 - fiesta_lxi & 02 - fiesta_vxi.( characteristic values)
2.Tcode: CT04, FORD_BODY( another characteristic)
Choose single value , don't click entry required.
01 - Red( characteristic values)
02- Blue
3. Create class T.code : CL02
fiesta_class
type : 300
4. OBJECT DEPENDENCY:
T.CODE : CT04
FORD_MODEL
CLICK VALUES TAB,
IN FIESTA_LXI CLICK THE 'O' meant for Obj dependency, action & extra.
Edit the dependecy,
010 $Self.ford_body = '01'. & save
Repeat the same for FIEST_VXI & instead of '01' give '02' for blue colour.
, then create a ROH as ford_body. & a KMAT material for the car. .
Then create a Super BOM with usage 3 & give component as ford_body
Then use T.code cu41 (Create config profile)
enter a profile name & class 300 & choose class assignment, choose fiest_class ,
Use T.code cu50 to check the values.
Then create a sale order.
Pl. reward if helpful.

ATP check in VA01

Availability To Promise (ATP) is configured to make better delivery planning on Sales Orders and Delivery. SAP standard ATP looks-up the availability of a material in a plant for a given batch if the material is batch managed. If the material is not batch managed, a pop-up information message is issued stating that ATP is done at plant level. If the material is not batch managed, but has a valuation type, standard SAP moves valuation type into batch and then performs ATP. Due to excise duty model for intercompany sales valuation type is moved into batch and ATP is performed at the Valuation type level.
Detailed explanation of the existing problem and impact to ATP design as of today: In cases where there are direct deliveries from Sweden to a Norwegian Customer (over the Notional Plant), and where the Excise Duty Model results in a Valuation Type u2018TAu2019, the ATP check will look for available stock of Batch u2018TAu2019 in the supplying plant. In this case, in Sweden there will never be u2018TAu2019-stock, only u2018UTu2019 stock is available. Hence the ATP-check fails, delivery promise cannot be met and the new confirmed delivery date will be by default the end of replenishment lead-time (which can be anywhere between 10-30 days!). This request for change is raised to remove the u2018Valuation type, Batchu2019 level in the ATP check.
I am using the user exit "EXIT_SAPLATPC_001" , can any one let me know how to achieve that functionality

Pratik,
In R/3 ATP check carried at one level material only for which you are entering schedule/delivery lines in sales order.
If you are talking about cumulative availability check then please consider APO GATP.
There is workaround for your requirement by considering Assemble to Order Strategies.
Please go through below link Sales order availability check considering the ROH stock/procurement time

Variant configuration/classification

hi,
we have materials manufactured by our client as follows.
it is an FMCG company and the company makes noodels, ketchup etc............
now there are various varities of noodels (flavour, rice, flour noodels ).
my question is should we use variant config or shud we use classification system to map various kind of noodels (variants ).
basically, i need to know the difference between variant config and classification system and relation between these two if any ?

Pamela

hi,
VC comes with CLASSIFICATION TAB PAGE - this is also called as CLASSIFICATION.
according to SAP one is dependent on other.
this is for your understanding:
Variant configuration offers a unique feature by which requirement of creating separate material for each variant of
product is eliminated by using u201Cconfigurable materialu201D, that contains all the components and operations for
production planning requirements.
Characteristics: Characteristics are used to define the features of configurable material. These characteristics are
assigned to CLASS TYPE 300. Customers can choose different options fro each characteristic, which are termed as
a u201CVALUESu201D.
Each configurable material is assigned to a u201CCLASSu201D via u201CCONFIGURATION PROFILEu201D which controls
the configuration in the sales order.
Variant dependent PRICE can be calculated and maintained in VARIANT CONDITIONS.

ATP Check in Sales Order

I have the following problem:
I am working on a custom ATP check for the Internet Sales Order. I am looking for the user exit or maybe a place when the ATP check is triggered for both cases:
1 initial material is entered and is checked in which plant is available of the requested quantity by ATP check
2. when the delivery date (First Date) on the item level is changed to the future date.
any ideas are welcomed. will award points.
Edited by: Maksims Jegorovcevs on Feb 6, 2009 4:06 PM

Hi,
You can try the following user exits;
EXIT_SAPLATPC_001 - Processing Requirements Table Before Calling Actual Check
EXIT_SAPLATPC_002 - Processing Results of Actual Check
For your second question, when the delivery date of the line item is changed, the system itself will do automatic ATP check. Also in transaction OVZ2, for the checking group, you can use the field accumulation (value 3) for availability check with accumulation and confirmed quantities.
