ATP Check on/off at delivery item category

Hello All
I see that delivery item category unlike sales item category, has a control for availability check (=on/off)
- What is the purpose of this control if I can control the check at check instructions for delivery
- What happens if the check instructions for delivery says no check and delivery item category says av check on
- What happens if the check instruction say product availability check is on and item category says off
- What happens if the check instruction say product availability check is on and SOME item categories says av check= off
No I am testing it out as I ask this but I am unable to see the actual purpose of this control at item category in delivery.
Your replies would be appreciated

Hi Michael,
Sorry I needed to revisit this to confirm a point that I am missing to see. Apologies for repeating my question this time with an example.
This is what is observed
Current ATP qty check rule A - 125
Current ATP qty check rule B- 90 (different check control to sales order)
A)
Sales order - 050/A check instructions - PAC check = no check, Alloc check = no check
Request qty- 100, confirmed 100 - understood
B)
Delivery - 050/B check instructions - PAC check ON, Alloc check = no check
Delivery item category Av check OFF
Confirmed 100
C)
Delivery - 050/B check instructions - PAC check ON, Alloc check = no check
Delivery item category Av check ON
Confired qty - 90
Does this mean that to create delivery for 100, I MUST set delivery item cat av check = no avl check ?. Wont check instruction 050/B= OFF do the same result as B) above. I observe so.
So what is the special role of delivery item category av check parameter. You mentioned that sales order uses the delivery item category setting for Av check. How does the sales order know the delivery item category until delivery is created.

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:
Availability Check CRM-BTX-BF-ATP - CRM - SCN Wiki

I/B Delivery item category

Hi Experts,
I have a question on I/B Delivery item category determination. I have gone through lot of threads and didn't meet my specific question.
During creation of I/B Delivery against PO, System determines one item category by default. I want to overwrite during creation of I/B Delivery. But dont know how.
I have added my new item category ZLN as alternative item category in OVLP.
Which user exit i can use to flip this value?
Thank you
Kris

Hello Kris
Try BADI
IF_EX_LE_SHP_DELIVERY_PROC
Method
CHANGE_DELIVERY_ITEM
or
FILL_DELIVERY_ITEM.
You will find documentation against the IMG activity itself"

Hope this helps. Let me know how it goes.

Sales & Delivery item category

Hi Experts,
Sales item category and Delivery item category have same names. My question is whether the delivery item category is the same as sales order item category.
Thank you

Hi Duncan,
There is difference between sales order itemcategory and delivery itemcategory.
For example if you take TAN itemctegory in both areas(Sales document and delivery) we can identify different control in each place.
In Sales order TAN these are controls
Transaction VOV7
Bussiness data
General control
Transaction floe
Bill of material/Configuration
Value contract
Service management
Control of resource-related billing and Creation of Quotation
In Delivery TAN these are the controls
Transaction OVLP
Document category--J-delivery
Material/Statistics
Quantity
Wear house control and packing
Transaction flow.
I hope it will help you,

Automatic Credit Check- Credit active field in Item Category

Hi All,
In the current system, simple credit check is active and now the customer would like to consider the open sales order and delivery documents as well. Hence we are activating automatic credit check.
The issue I am facing here is the credit active field is not activated in Item category level, since it has not been activated, the system is not performing the automatic credit check for the old as well as newly created sales order. If I activate the credit active field in Item category level its working fine for newly creating documents.
But the credit check is not happening for the sales order which has been created in the past.Whether the credit active field not activated earlier is the reason behind this issue.
Please let me know is there is any other way to perform credit check for the old sales orders as well.
Regards,
Mythily

But the credit check is not happening for the sales order which has been created in the past.Whether the credit active field not activated earlier is the reason behind this issue.
Credit check will not happen for the saved sales orders. It is not the reason because of credit active field was not ticked for item category. you had performed Simple credit check for those orders,
I assume you might be knowing that Simple credit check does not update open order, open delivery and open invoices etc, it updates only receivables. Even though you had ticked the item category the field credit active, it would not have performed.
Now for old sales order anyway it will not perform the credit check, only thing you can do
Run the program RVKRED88 in SE38 so that it will update the all sales values into FD32. This.This is the best way i think this will work. Please test this from your side. I did not check in my system.
Why you want to perform the credit check on the sales documents which are already created and saved. as per me it does not make sense.
thanks,
Srinu.

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"

Delivery Item Category for Batch Split

Dear All,
Referring to Stock Transfer Order
ME21N --> VL10I --> Vl02N --> PGI --> MIGO
During delivery we select multiple batches through Batch Split.
In my Development server the system determines Item Cat as NLN (NLNORMCHSP = NLN)
In my Quality server the system determines Item Cat as ULN (NLNORMCHSP = ULN)
The setting for Both Item cat is same Except NLN is marked for Error during over delivery.
Pls suggest me which one is appropriate.
Thanks & regards,
Shailendra Panhale

Mr. Gauravijit
Pl try the following configuration
Go to logistic Eex->Shipping->Deliveries->define item category for deliveries
Delivery type - item category group - usage--item cat
LF NORM CHSP TAN
Pl try the above configuration and do the batch split in the delivery.

Availability check problem - with item category(TAN and TANN)

Hi All,
We have a problem with the availability check in the standard order. Suppose if I give the item category as TAN, the availabilty check is green for that line item. If I change the item category from TAN to TANN, then the availabilty check is red.
How Item categories influence the availability check? Is availability check also depend on customer?
Thanks & Regards,
Anil.

Hi ,
please check in this path.
Customer Relationship Management>Basic Functions>Availability Check>Assign ATP Profile to Item Category
In this step you assign the ATP profile to an item category:
1. Choose the relevant item category.
2. Enter the name of the ATP profile in the ATP profile field.
If this field is empty, no availability check is carried out.
ATP profile-
1. A key that is assigned to the item category of a sales transaction item to control whether availability check takes place for this item.
2. If availability check is carried out in SAP Advanced Planner and Optimizer (SAP APO), the name of the requirements profile in SAP APO is used for the ATP profile in CRM Online to carry out the following functions in SAP APO:
-ATP check
-Transfer of requirements
-Delivery scheduling
-Transportation scheduling
Hope it will useful.
thanks

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

ITEM CATEGORY PROBLEM WHILE DOING DELIVERY IN VL10B

Hi gurus,
I was trying to do replenishment delievery w.r.t a stock transfer through sd route. In vl10b when i processed background delivery, it's generating n error log , which reads
No Item category exists (Table T184 ZNL 0001 V )
Where as in item category determination it was already there for Delivery item category
ZNL NORM V ZNLN
ZNL NORM CHSP ZNLN
pLEASE GUIDE

Hi
This is the assignment you have made
ZNL NORM V ZNLN
ZNL NORM CHSP ZNLN
I believe, you have entered the Item Category in the column immediately next to Usage colum. Leave that field blank and place the item category in the colum second to Usage column and try.
Thanks,

Why item category re-determined at delivery level

Hi Gurus
I want to know what is the purpose of redetermining item category at delivery level?

First thing to know is that Item Category determination is used only on newly added items and other specific usages like batches, product substitution, etc. It is meant for Deliveries that are not created with reference to a sales order. If you are copying an item from the order and the item category is configured as a Delivery Item category in 0lvp, SAP copies the order item category and does not redetermine it from configuration.
If you are using Product Substitution in the delivery, SAP first copies the higher level item from the Sales Order, then executes Material Determination to bring in the substitution (lower level) items. In this case the higher level item category would be from the order. Redetermined BOMs would follow the same logic as Product substitution.
In short you can redetermine items in delivery when you are using product substitution or add new Items in delivery or using Sales BOMs.
Hope its clear to you now.

Error while creating I/B delivery: No item category exists (Table T184L EL)

Hello all,
When I save output type "SPED" in outbound delivery, Inbound delivery automatically gets created.
But in this case error occured:
"No item category exists (Table T184L EL NLAG V )"
1. Specified material is HALB.
2. Item Cat in MMR is NORM
3. in Table T184 for "Delivery item Category Determination", configuration for EL NLAG V is NOT exists. But EL NORM V is exists
4. Testing for the SAME material in Test server is PERFECT. I/B delivery created automatically. Master data in Test system is replica of Production system.
Then where is the wrong....????
Could any one help on this?
Thanks
Tushar

Please have a look at your material. In material master there's a so called item category group (MARA-MTPOS_MARA and MVKE-MTPOS; these are on sales 2 view).
Please compare the value in this field in the materials used in test (NORM?) and production system (NLAG?).
This is one factor in item category determination as you can see in table T184L.

ATP check active when creating sales order - want to deactivate

Hello experts,
at the time we created a sales order, the checking group for availability check in the master data of an article was "02" (Individual requirements). However, this was a master data error, as the correct setting for this article is "KP" (No check). We have changed this setting in the article master, but now we have a problem with the delivery, as we can not confirm the required quantity in the desired date. The ATP check says we have no availability (based on the wrong master data existing during the creation of the order), but we need to override this check.
Is ther any way of "overriding" the ATP check of the article in our sales order, thus taking into account the "KP" (no check) setting?
Thank you very much in advance.
Kind regards.
Marcos

Have you actually created the delivery yet? If not, you can use the following path to deactivate the ATP check during delivery:
> SPRO
> Logistics Execution
    > Availability Check & Transfer of Requirements
      > Availability Check
        > Determine procedure for Each Delivery Item Category
Perhaps turning of the ATP check temporarily shall help overcome the issue.

ATP check and Check against preliminary planning for prod order

Hi
For same material, order type and plant for some orders ATP check is happening and for some orders Check against preliminary planning is happening.I want to know why its happening.
Regards,
PradeepM.

Pradeep,
What types of orders? Do you mean SD orders?
ATP check is defaulted 'on' or 'not on' by the MRP Strategy(OPPS, look for "availability check"). MRP strategy is in turn determined by the MRP strategy group in the plant-level material master. Assuming, then, that your MRP strategy group contains only one MRP strategy (this is common), then the default check will be set by MRP strategy group.
ATP check can subsequently be turned on/off other ways in SD, leaving you with either no ATP, or possibly an Availability check against planning.
So, if you are talking about sales orders, and not PP orders, the most likely place for 'turning off'' the ATP check is with the schedule line category. A close second culprit is with the requirements class of the SO item. SD configuration will determine the default requirements type, requirements class, and the default Schedule line category. Study the sales orders in question in VA03. Specifically look at the requirements type (procurement tab of SO Item) and the Schedule line category (goto-item-schedule lines). Then, look at the configuration for
Schedule line category: OVZ8
Mapping of requirements type to requirements class : OVZH
Requirements class: OVZ0
Look at the setting for 'AvC'. If it is 'on', you will get ATP against product. If it is off, you will get either an ATP against planning, or no ATP at all.
If you wish to change the determination of the Requirements type, or the determination of the Schedule line category in SD, you should probably discuss with your local SD functional expert. A small change here can have many unintended consequences.

ATP Check with STOs

Hi All
Need your help to resolve the following concern in committed date of STOs
Scenario:
When a STO is created for a material where the supplying plant has no stock, then the committed date in the delivery schedule lines comes up as 31.12.9999 and the statistical date comes up as the requested delivery date + planned delivery time!
I guess this is fine as system considers forward scheduling automatically in this case.
However this order is not considered by BOP as well!
Now if the stock is produced / made available even then the STO is not getting picked up in BOP
So this results in inconsistency (APO/R3) and also when the delivery is generated it comes up with error! (wrong quantity / date or '0' qty)
Now if I manually do the ATP check in the STO line item, it changes the dates. Still it dosent show up in BOP but delivery can be created!
Can you guys please advice me what should be the process for such STOs (which were created when there was no stock in supplying plant). As manually doing ATP check isnt sensible.
Also why is that BOP is not picking up these STOs (I have already checked the parameters and STO is included)
Thanks in advance

RK,
"Crazy" is a misnomer when dealing with software. The only things in this business that are crazy are the clients. Unfortunately, they also pay the bills, so you have to live with such insanity.
According to your error message, you haven't defined 050 / U. I don't know the entire scenario, but to me this is a red flag that must be addressed regardless of any other steps you take. You must either create these check instructions, or eliminate objects that are calling for this combination.
I just reviewed my posts, and I don't see any place there where I said I did not create 'U'. I did say I removed my original BE, which wasn't 'U'. My original BE for STOs and STPrqs was 'ST'. I removed this from both R/3 and SCM. Then I created 'U' in R/3 and 'U' in SCM.
1. R/3: SM30 > view V_441R Create 'U' Checking Rule.
2. R/3: SM30 > view V_441V Create Availability check as necessary using 'U' Check rule and the Availability checks you will be using.
3. R/3: SM30 > view V_161V doc category B remove your existing check rule and replace with 'U'
4. R/3: SM30 > view V_161V doc category F Remove your existing check rule and replace with 'U'.
5. SCM SM30 > View /SAPAPO/V_ATP02 > Create BE 'U'
6. SCM SM30 > View /SAPAPO/V_ATP07 > Remove the existing check instructions for STOs. Create new check instructions as necessary for STOs, using BE 'U'.
7. SCM SM34 > Dialogue /SAPAPO/ATPC04_05 > Remove the existing Check control(s) for STOs. Add the appropriate Check control items using BE 'U'.
I don't really know if the 'U' issue is related to your original problem. I am only responding to the part of your post where you said
I am getting error:
Check instruction / U does not exist for location product XXXX / XXXX
FYI throughout this post, I have been assuming that you have no userexits/BADIs activated, on either side (R/3 nor SCM) nor are you using RBA. Either of these events would mean additional troubleshooting steps would be required.
