dear all,
is the system doing availability check in sales order with make to order item category (it cat : TAK)? and how the system propose new delivery date for this make to order item category?
can you please tell me more?
thanks

Subcontracting availibility check on make to order stock

Dear All,
I have a material let's say 'X' which with a BOM/routing which includes a subcontracting step of material "Y" which is a also a make to stock item. When I create a sales order for material X and run a Plannings run I first produce material Y. Because it's a make to order item the stock it will be customer specific stock. The next step is to send material Y away to the subcontrator, in order to complete material X. However when a create a subcontracting PO and wants to delivery it via transaction ME2O I get the error message that there is no stock available. The reason for this is that teh availibilty check doesn't check the Make to order stock quantities.
I have treid several option but i am Not able to let sap to check the make to order stock when creating a subcontracting delivery. What I am missing or is this not supported by standard SAP?
Thanks in advance.

Dear All,
Thanks for your replies but it doesn't solve my problem because when creating a delivery SAP still uses the normal availability check (B) and not the client specific availability check (BE).
Just for the clarification the underlying material is a client specific item (with special stock indicator E) that needs to be send to the subcontractor. However the administrative stock of this material is stored as client specific and won't be picked up when we make a subcontracting delivery because the standard process use availability check B instead of BE.
Like I mentioned maybe it is not foreseen in the standard functionality.

Availability check in make to order

Hi,
Iam in the process of configuring sales order process for one of my finnish customer. The scenario is make to order. Few things are troubling me. I need to know how is the availablity check is done in case of make to order scenario. questions are as follows-
a) The stock is not available since it will be made as and when sales order is created and requirements t/f to PP/MM. So there is no point in switching on availability check in sales order. Only TOR shud be switched on for sales order schedule line. If availibility check is switched off , then there will be no delivery/transport scheduling too or I think i need to switch off delivery/transport shceduling seprarately too since there is no point in calculation of material availability date............ Am i right ?
If you disagree, then why AC needs to be swithced on and what ATP settings shud be flagged( i mean sales requirments, opening stock, planned stock etc) !
b) If you agree that AC needs to be switched off, then how is the stock confirmed in sales order. Is it after production order is made and then the schedule lines are confirmed.
c) If one agrees on both points a and b, then if my customer wants a delivery date after creating a sales order, then how the system will calculate the delivery date in sales order since availibility check and delivery schdeuling both are switched off.

Hi,
If you carry out ATP in MTO,
system will give you probable date of material available date,confirm date,schedule date,
it will not confirm material immediately and give schedule line as like STO.

Make-to-Order customer Return Order triggers unwanted ATP check

When executing a return delivery on a Make-to-Order (Strategy 20, no APO) material, we notice that the ATP check (checking rule BE) gets triggered. On a return this makes no sense and of course fails, stopping us from creating the delivery. How can we prevent that?
Strat. 20 has Req.type KE & Req.Class 040 with the Availability Check flagged, but returns should not trigger an ATP check and therefore the SLCat is unflagged as such ("Define Procedure for each schedule line category"), but that seems to be ignored - only for this MTO strategy.
When, for testing, we change the Strategy on the same material to 40, the ATP check -everything else being equal- no longer happens, which indicates that the Order type, Del Type, ItCat, SLCat are all ok. What link am I missing ?
Somehow, selecting a different material strategy impacts the running of ATP. It would already be useful to know, if in your system, when using Make-To-Order strategy, you see the same or not.
Help would be very appreciated.
Hans.

Thank you for the suggestion. OVZI already has these settings (MRP type and RqType blank).
I don't see how a setting in OVZI would explain that just changing the strategy on the material removes the problem : the key fields here (ItCat, MRPType) would have the same values and they would both come up with a requirement type, linked to a requirement class which has the AvC active (ovzg). How come that gets overruled (I presume by the schedule line category DN) for one strategy and not the other ?
I could make an entry in ovzi to force it to go to the same requirement type all the time, but that will impact all materials using this ItCat and MRP type. That seems like a too generic fix for a specific issue. If you know of any other link between strategy (specifically MTO) and ATP behaviour, I'd be very interested.

Availability check for Make to stock and Make to Order

Dear All,
Client is selling Make to stock and make to Order material.
How and what settings need to do for Avaialbility check.or we can use standard one.
I hope in case of Make to Order availability check may not happen.
Please correct me.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Shrikant

hi,
yes for make to order we dont have AvChk. for make to stock items u need to follow the
below configuration.
Availability check
1. Availability check is an integral part of the business process that determines if the required delivery quantity can be met on a required delivery date. For this purpose the system takes into account pre-delivery activities such as scheduling for picking or packing times and the time taken to produce or obtain the material. It also performs several background functions such as Backorder processing, rescheduling and ATP quantities.
2. Backorder processing: processing of a sales order that has not been fully confirmed or not confirmed at a certain delivery date.
3. Rescheduling: is a proposal of how u2013 confirmed quantities already assigned to a sales order can be reassigned to other sales orders that have a higher priority.
4. Available to promise (ATP): is a process of checking the available quantities of a material. The ATP quantity consists of warehouse stock + planned receipts (incoming stock) u2013 planned issues (outgoing stock). to examine stock on hand (CO09) proceed to logistics u2013 sales & distribution u2013 sales u2013 environment u2013 availability overview.
5. Replenishment lead time (RLT): is the time taken for the material to become available either internally (in house production) or externally (from a vendor). The most important things to consider during an external procurement are purchasing and MRP 2 (procurement) views of MMR where the processing time for purchasing, planned delivery time and goods receipt processing time are taken into account. On the other hand internal procurement is based on in house production time (MRP 2 view) goods receipt processing time or alternatively RLT time, which is found on MRP 3 view.
6. RLT (Replenishment Lead Time) is the time taken for the material to become available. RLT is only used when doing an ATP check (Available To Promise). The value of RLT for a material is specified on material master record.
7. There are three types of availability checks u2013
Check on basis of ATP quantities.
Check against product allocation.
Check against planning.
Configuring Availability check through Checking Groups u2013
1. The checking group + checking rule determine how the availability check is to be performed.
2. The checking group determines whether and how the system checks the stock availability and generates requirements for material planning. The checking group defines what type of requirements will be passed on i.e. summarized requirements (daily/weekly) or individual requirements for each sales order.
3. The checking rule applies to how the availability check is to be carried out at the transaction level. Note that you must define checking rules for each individual application such as for production orders for example. In Sales and Distribution, the checking rule is specified internally within the system and cannot be changed.
4. The checking rule, in conjunction with the checking group, determines the scope of the availability check for every business operation; that is, which stocks, receipts and issues are to be included in the availability check and whether the check is to be carried out with or without the replenishment lead time.
5. Briefly explaining the above u2013 checking group determines which type of requirement to be passed on to MRP whether it be individual or summarized and checking rule which is at the transaction level and can be configured independently for each application module, determines which stocks, receipts and issues to be taken into account. For performing an availability check checking group has to work in conjunction with checking rule.
6. Advantages of individual processing over summarized processing u2013
Backorder processing is possible.
You can access (MD04) order, line and schedule line individually which gives a greater control on available stock and requirements placed on stock.
The system automatically uses individual requirements in case of special stock items.
7. Required data for the Availability check to be carried out u2013
The Availability check must be switched on at the requirement class level.
The Availability check must be set at the schedule line level.
A requirements type must exist by which the requirements class can be found.
A plant must be defined in the sales order for each schedule line item (in other words plant must be defined for every material in MMR).
A checking group must be defined in the material master record in the MRP3 screen in the availability check field.
8. Configuring Availability check and defining Checking Groups u2013
Checking groups are introduced into the sales order based on the setting in the material master record.
SAP standard checking groups are 01 u2013 summarized requirements and 02 u2013 individual requirements or you can create your own by copying the standard ones.
Total sales and total deliveries columns are there to configure a checking rule to sum up requirements to post to MRP either individually or by day or week.
Block quantity required can be set if you want several users to be able to process the material simultaneously in different transactions without blocking each other.
The no check indicator is CHECKED when you DO NOT want the system to carry out ATP check.
9. Defining material block for other users u2013 the block check box is an indicator that enables you to block material master records of a particular material during the availability check and restrict other users from accessing same master record and reserve the material. If the block is not set, two users can confirm the same material at the same time for two different orders, not knowing if the stock is available or not. If you select this field, the material is blocked during the availability check and other users cannot: a) Make changes in the material master record. b) Create purchase orders for the material. C) Create orders for the material.
10. Defining default values for checking groups - Checking groups are introduced into the sales order based on the setting in the material master record.
However if there is no entry present in the material master record for the checking group, a default value can be set here, depending on material type and plant.
This default value will be used by the system depending on the material type mentioned in MMR and plant in sales order.
If an entry exists, this default value is over written by MMR.
11. Controlling Availability Check u2013 in this section, you tell the system what stock on hand and what inward and outward movements of stock it must take into account when performing the availability check in addition to whether or not to consider the replenishment lead time.
12. These settings are based on the checking group that is assigned to the material master record and the checking rule that is predefined and assigned to the sales and distribution transaction.
13. These settings carry out control both for sales order and delivery as well. This is due to the fact that you may want to include specific stock or incoming stock for the sales order, yet at the time of the delivery only include physical stock on hand waiting to be shipped.
14. It is possible to indicate to the system that you would like the availability check NOT TO CHECK the stock at the storage location level. This indicator is used to set the scope of the availability check.
15. It is used to switch off the check at storage location level. You create a reservation for a particular storage location. However, the scope of the availability check is set in such a way as to exclude the storage location. In this case, the system carries out the check at plant level only and does not take the storage location into account that is specified in the reservation.
16. Should you not want the system to automatically check RLT, you may indicate so here. RLT is the time taken for a material to become available. It is only used when doing an ATP check and is taken from MMR.
17. Defining the elements in the availability check entirely depends on the business needs, but a few tips are given under u2013
When controlling the Availability check at the time of the sales order, a purchase requisition does not necessarily indicate by it is going to come into the plant.
A shipping notification on the other hand - a confirmed purchase order u2013 is a good indicator of receiving stock on a specified date.
It is always recommended not to select the shipping notifications for the delivery requirements type as you may not actually receive the stock into plant or warehouse for which you are creating a delivery.

Make to order availability check scenario with production order

We have a make-to order scenario where we build custom products for our customers.
In SAP, we specify a strategy group so a production order is automatically generated when an sales order item is entered. However, we sometimes create a small amount of stock, in anticipation of an order. I would like the system to first check available stock in the system, beofre proposing a production order.
Is something like thi spossible thru configuration of the strategy group, or perhaps another method?
Regards
Ken

Hi,
In SPRO->Sales and Distribution->Basic Functions->Availability Check and Transfer of Requirements->Availability Check->Availability Check with ATP Logic or Against Planning->Carry Out Control For Availability Check
Select the Availability check and the Checking rule combination of intrest and if you select the details,here you define that stocks that are to be considered during availability check.

How to make material availability check work during Work Order creation

Hi Experts,
Kindly advice about these matters:
1. How to make material availability check work during Work Order creation?
My requirement is Work Order can not be created when it has missing parts. I have set the config to '3' can not created when is has missing parts, but it still does not work.
I have implemented SAP Notes 1148139 on my system (SAP ECC 6 Ehp 5) also, but still does not have any effect.
I must not set the config Res./Purch Doc creation to 'immediately', because it does not fit to my user requirement. Is there anyone knows how to solve this requirement?
2. How to make information message/ Availability check screen appear when sparepart is missing, without clicking Availability Check button? for example: appear when clicking Save button.
Thank you
-amoonra-

Hi Maheswaran,
I have implement the prerequisite notes. (Notes 790219 and 1034962). Do you know why it is still does not work?
Thanks

Make To Order With Credit Check.......

Dear Expert,
Could i know about Automatic Credit Check-Static and Make to Order with Credit Check...
Thanking you,

hi
in simple credit check it considers only the current sales order with the value assigned to the customer
but in automatic credit check we have two types
1. Static: it compares the value assigned to the customer with the value of open sales orders + value of open delivery documents + value of open billing documents + value of billing doc's posted into accounting but for which we have not recieved the payment..
2. Dynamic : the way of calculation is the same as static but the difference is we have horizon in dynamic credit check
Example: in static all the open doc's will be considered for credit check
but in dynamic if i give the horizon as 2 months
sales orders for which the delivery date falls after two months will not be considered
similarly delivery doc's whose billing date is after 2 months will not be considered..
etc
even though its a make to order it will be processed using doc type OR
you assing the credit group to the sales doc
that is suffecient
hope this helps
regards

Delivery Schedule line no in Make to Order

Hi all,
        i am doing make to order scenario with 20 strategy group. In sales order we r defining the different delivery schedule lines.when i run the MRP and getting the plan orders for all the FG material and semifinished material, the sale order number and sale order item number is getting updated in production order . Beside these two , delivery schedule line number is not populated and delivery date is not picking correctly in production order.
please give your valuable suggestion .
i would be highly thankful to u
regards
piyush

hi
      thanks,
i have checked MD04 peg requirement list with order route.
every thing is ok.,schedule number is also coming but only for finished good . if three production order is there for semifinished then there is no any relation that how i can judge that this semifinished is for which FG material.means :
FG 1             FG 2            FG 3
SF 1              SF 2            SF 3
SF 11            SF 22           SF 33
How this SF 11 is linked with FG1.and schedule delivery number is there but only for FG material. planning segment is same for all the FG material.MRP element data having all the link but only for FG material.
what is the link of SF 11 to schedule delivery line number with FG material.

How can I set up purchase-to-order much the same as make-to-order

Hi all,
I apologise if this is posted in the wrong place but this is my first question that I couldn't answer by searching other posts/articles so I'm reaching out for some help and advice.
In PP, you can use a planning strategy to execute a make-to-order process which creates a production order specific to a sales order. Is the same possible within MM for creating a purchase order specific to a material required for a production order?
My example is this:
The BOM for FINI_ABC contains:
1 piece of PACK_1 (label)
1 piece of PACK_2 (container)
If I create a production order for FINI_ABC, MRP will obviosuly create requirements and purchase requisitions for both PACK_1 and PACK_2 materials. What I would like to achieve is for the production order number to be held within the purchase requisition and subsequently the purchase order.
This is required so that when the Purchase Order is created and sent to the vendor, they also receive the corresponding production order number. The vendor is then able to deliver the PACK materials packaged together for production which obviously eliminates some manual handling in the production warehouse.
As you see, it's very similar to Make-to-Order but I don't know where to start..........
Any help or advice to point me in the right direction would be very gratefully received.
Many thanks,
Rob

Hi Rob,
Some care must be considered in respect to what materials will you be managing in your stock, if FINI_ABC or PACK_1 and PACK_2.
I'm guessing by your description you mean FINI_ABC.
I think you can create PACK_1 and PACK_2 as service materials and at your pricing condition for FINI_ABC you can define one of this "services" as a free goods item. Unfortunately you could only assign one item this way.
Another thing you can use is the empties management and set this two items in a empties BoM. Check:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp60_sp/helpdata/en/43/0102827af25285e10000000a1553f7/content.htm
In SAP Retail you can be even be a bit more creative with BoM's in purchasing as I recall.
You can also follow a more simple rule albeit some development required. Create your PO with only your finished material and create a new BoM usage and your "Purchase BoM's" for this usage. Then you set your purchase order smartform or EDI message to read this information and place it on the layout. Although you don't get the info in ME23N your supplier will.
Hope it helps,
Edgar

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

Error while creating make -to -order

Respected Gurus,
I am a frequent vistor of this forum, and find it very helpful. I am studying SD processes, and came across error which is not posted on the forum.
While configuring Make-to-order process,
1) I have defined and assigned controlling area for my company code.
2) In MM01 I created material master with required fields such as item category group ( 0001 - make-to-order)
3) In VA01 I have raised an order with my material, and in the sales header>Procurement> Requirement field changed to KE.
Now I get an error : Plant xxxx is not assigned to controlling area.
Could you please guide me.
Regards
Trupti

Thanks for the reply.
I checked assignment of the plant to the company code, and also MRP type. Both of them are as per your suggestion.
Not sure how, but the error i mentioned disappeared today, except another one related to FBN1.
I have been able to process MIRO , Invoice and generate the accounting document.
In the VA02 document flow...status of the accounting document is " Not cleared", how to go about it.
Also if you could look in to another question I posted regarding reconcillation account, would appreciate.
Regards
Trupti.

Delivery not created in make to order cycle

Hi
i am in the make to order process scenario and facing problems while creating a delivery after production order has been confirmed. The steps followed are
1. i create an order with M1 and quantity 100 - T code : VA01
2. i create a sales order BOM for the sales order created above and using material M1 - T cose : CS 61
3. This is followed by a production cycle - planned order, production order and confirmation with lot size of 7.
4. as one production order of size 7 is confirmed, the stock is generated of quantity 7 for the material M1. using MMBE i can see the stock being created.
5. Now as i go and try and create the delivery against order created in step 1, i get the error and that "No schedule lines due for delivery up to the selected date".
6. When i check my order in display mode, under schedule line it shows M1 with order quantity as 100 and confirmed quantity as 0.
Could you please advise if after the confirmation of production order, the schedule line in order will show quantity 7 and if i can delivery against it. Or is there any other way of creating the delivery.
Thanks

Hello,
In MTO scenario the following happens:
1. Sales Order is created - standard requirements type determined is KE which fetches requirements class 040. The requirements class 040 has controls for MTO & special stock indicator will have entry as "E-orders on hand".
2. After MRP is run the system will transfer the requirements to PP, a planned order will be created which is then converted into a production order.
3. After running the production cycle the goods will be transferred to the finished goods storage location.
4. Now when you check in the transaction code MMBE the system will show the material stock & under the sales order stock only.
5. But when you check the sales order -- line item schedule line, the system displays the confrimed quantity as "zero".
Explanation:
You created sales order for item A - 100 Quantities. Production was completed for 20 quantities. System shows sales order stock of 20 quantities only.
When you had created a sales order for item A the system after running the availability check would have determined a delivery date by way of which it would have shown you say 2 different schedule lines as under
Delivery Date.............Order qty............Rounded Qty...........Confirmed Qty
01/05/2009...................100......................100............................0
15/05/2009.....................0.........................0.............................100
The second date the system determines taking into consideration the inhouse manufacturing time specified by you in the material master (MRP2 screen) & the other settings which aare applicable for the checking group specified in the material master.
On 15/05/2009, if you create a delivery, the system will allow you to create the delivery irrespective of the stock in the plant. But at the time of post goods issue you will face a quantity deficit error.
If the goods are received in the finished goods storage location before 15/05/2009 say on 10/05/2009, the system will not update the schedule line automatically & when you try to create a delivery the system will display the error "no schedule lines due for delivery".
Solution:
Transaction code VA02 - select the sales order number - double click on the line item - go to schedule lines - here click on the button "Item Availability" or press "Ctrl + F5" to run the availability check. As you have stock of 7 quantity, the system will display 7 quantity on the curretn date. Select the option delivery proposal to continue. Now the system will show 2 schedule lines as under
Delivery Date.............Order qty............Rounded Qty...........Confirmed Qty
01/05/2009...................100......................100............................0
10/05/2009.....................0.........................0..............................7
Save the sales order & then create a delivery. The system will not give any error.
Note: You have to manually confirm the quantities for a make to stock sales order in case if the goods are received before the delivery date specified by the system.

Make To Order - Commitment qty is 0 even if material on stock

Folks,
We are using Make to order with strategy group 82 (Assembly processing) requirement type is KMFA and class is 201. The availability check in material master is set to '02' individual requirements.
The KMAT has about 100 components. Of 100 components about 10 are set to 'KP' - no check. the rest are set to '02' - individual requirements in the MRP3 view.
On creating the sales order,the components with no availability check have the right committed qty whereas the rest shows 0 .(Eventhough there are enough stock) and are shown as missing parts. (the commitment date deaults to 12/31/9999)
I tried using Movement type 412 E to post the components in to sales order stock. It worked. But there are 100s of components and 100s of orders. We cannot afford to issue the components manually for each and every order.
Is there any way we could achieve this at one step? (like either posting to the order or reservation?) Am I missing something in the set up?
Helpful answers will be rewarded.

MRP 4 view "2" was missing in individual/Collective reqmts.

You cannot make an assignment to make-to-order stock - Message no. CO684

Hi,
During conversion of planned order to production order in variant configuration scenario I am getting following error message....
You cannot make an assignment to make-to-order stock
Message no. CO684
Diagnosis
The component cannot be allocated to an individual stock because make-to-order production and engineer-to-order production cannot be executed with this order.
A possible cause is that you are trying to create an order with reference to a sales-order/project, where an account assignment to a sales order/project is not allowed in the settlement profile that is assigned to the chosen order type. This is inconsistent.
System response
The following responses are possible:
Order processing is canceled.
The system resets the special stock indicator back to the original value.
Procedure
Choose another order type.
Any ideas or suggestions to correct this issue..
Pavan

Hi Pavan,
This is one of the most common problem comes during MTO execution.And the real problem is massage no itself because you will get the same massage no. for many reason and that's it becomes more difficult to find out root cause.
Check below threads and settings,
- Order type for MTO is not maintain in Production scheduling Profile.Go OPKP or CORY and maintain Order type for MTO to it.
