Avail. check in subcontracting orders

Hi guys,
I have recently faced an issue that must be a well-known problem. Unless I am doing something wrong.
When you place a subcontracting PO, its components are reserved in stock. The problem is that the availability check is not started automatically when the order is placed, but must be explicitly triggered by the user on the component screen.
This creates two problems:
- There's no warning about unavailability of components
- The reservations are not confirmed (committed), which means that the other orders (prod. orders, sales orders) competing on the same stock don't see them and reserve the stock for themselves.
I wonder if there's a way in standard SAP (either customising or a user exit) to force availability check of the components.
TIA
Raf

Hi,
Thanks for the input. I have found the answer - it is impossible.
If you like, check the OSS note 323991 why.
In short, SAP doesn't want to reserve the stock and doesn't recommend doing this manually since the following stock movement (541) doesn't consume this reservation, as this is the case in e.g. SD and PP. The functionality is simply not there.
For our purposes however, it is enough to cancel the reservation when the the subcontracting PO is recieved and closed (thus effectively cancelling the reservation). But SAP doesn't have provision for this case. We will have to continue running the avail. check manually...

Material Availability check during work order creation and Release

Hello All,
We are checking material availability at creation as well as release
Say we have Material XYZ=100 in stock MMBE
Now XYZ =100 is say at normal storage location =75
and scrap storage location=05 and serviceable =20
Currently when availability check is performed it checks for 95 (It excludes scrap storage location 05 )
but we want Availability check to be only for normal stock =75 and not for Serviceable and Scrap location
how to do this in configuration or via exits
Since if the material is under Scrap location it is not counting in Availability check at work order creation this logic is working fine but I do know from where this control is put that when the material is in the stock of scrap it is not counting in Availability check for work orders.Same thing I want to extend it to Serviceable stock .
Why not it is consider it for Scrap storage location , what is config or any MM enhancement
So that when Availability check run it will not consider Materials at SCRAP as well as SERVISABLE storage location also.
Please have your views on this
Regards
pratap

Hello
There are two option for your requiement
1. Changing the status of the servisable storage location stock to restricted use stock . You can include or exclude this stock status material in OPJJ. This solution is not storage location dependent. It is stock status dependent.
2. Please refer the enhancement for the storage location determination. I am not sure about this funtionality:
For production orders the following enhancement is available:
PPCO0005 enhancement for storage loc. determination/backflushing
You can use this enhancement to change the storage location and the indicator 'backflushing' in the reservation.
The enhancement PPCO0005 contains the following enhancement components:
Function exit
EXIT_SAPLCOSD_001 storage location determination/backflushing
You can find the description in modification text of the function exit.
You can find an example of the user exit in the function group XC01 in the include LXCO1F05.

Availability check at Sales Order Create

Dear Experts,
I want to do availability check at sales order creation stage (VA01). My requirement is, the system should check the sales order line qty against the unrestricted stock. And if sufficient stocks not available it should prompt an error message.
In more detail; unrestricted stock of material X is 100 PCs. I put a sales order for the same material for 101 PCs. Then systems should block me from saving the order.
Can some please provide me detailed step-by-step action for configuration of above scenario. Thanks in advance for your support

Mass availability check in subcontracting PO's

Hi,
is there a way to mass availability check in subcontracting PO's?
Thanks,
Sebastian

Hi,
ME2O just compares subcontractors stock and it's demand, not carin about dates.
But I need a full availability check based on my checking rules.
I have this feature in a particular PO, but our byers need a tool to check multiple PO's at one time.

Availability check of sales order in planning strategy 40

Dear friends,
Kindly help me this query:
From online SAP help in Demand Management, it said in planning strategy 40:
"An accurate availability check is performed according to ATP (available to promise) logic during sales order processing. The system checks whether sufficient planned independent requirements have been planned to cover the sales order.... If there is insufficient coverage of components (the sales order quantities exceed the planned independent requirement quantities), the sales orders cannot be confirmed"
According to above paragraph, I think that availability check of sales order is carried out against PIR, if PIR quantity cannot cover sales order quantity then order will not be confirmed, it also means stock on-hand will not be included in availability check. However, my testing reveal a different conclusion: sales order is confirmed against stock on-hand, not PIR. My questions are:
1/ in planning strategy 40, how does system carry out availability check for sales order?
2/ how to interpret above help from SAP?
I got that help from this link: http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp60_sp/helpdata/en/cb/7f9b7043b711d189410000e829fbbd/frameset.htm
Many thanks for your clear answers.
Regards,
Duc.

Dear duc pb ,
In 40 its only ATP that works.
you can do another test ,
Create PIR 15 quantity.
Create a stock of 10 quantity.
and now create a sales order firszt of quantity 30, as both of the above after combining cant fullfill this demand, save order run MRP.
system will create orders against PIR (15) and remainibnbg quantity of sales order (5)
run one more test, by creating PIR 15 quantity , no stock and a sales order of with quantity 10.
share your findings.
Thanks

Availability check in sales order for DIEN materials.

Hello,
Is it possible to make availability check in sales orders for a service material e.g.: type DIEN? How can i customize it?

The DIEN material type is not stock managed, so it does not make sense to check the availability. If you need to do something similar you could use material type UNBW, this material is quantity managed but not valuated, so maybe this can help you !

Availability Check on Subcontract Component

We have a one to one ratio of component (B) to Finished Goods (A) ratio for our BOM quantity. PO is for 15 ea of Material A.
There is only 12 ea of Material B at the vendor. System allows me to Post Goods Receipt all 15 Material A without any error message.
Is there any availability check of subcontract components during GR? I was hoping the system would suggest that I only need to receive 12 ea.
Thanks.

Hi,
As you have told that there is one to one ratio b/w component (B) and FG (A). It means if you create a PO for 15 qty of A then system will automatically copy 15 qty of B in "Components" tab of PO from BOM.
And you will transfer 15 qty of B to Subcontractor. (MB1B - 541 mvmt)
So at the time of GR, system will propose 15 qty of A as well as B.
But, if you will change the qty of A or B after clciking on "BOM Explostion" button then it will allow to change you the qty of A and B and will not give you any message since it is the facility provided by SAP. In case if your FG got manufactured in less qty then you have that faclility to change the qty of components in MIGO.
If you want system to change the component (B) qty on the basis of receipt qty of FG (A)as per the BOM then first change Qty. in Unit of Entry for FG (A) at "Item Details" level and then click on "Explode BOM" button at "Item Overview" level. It will propose qty of B as per BOM.

Changing Availability Checks in Sales orders

hi there,
Can i easily change the Availability Check in a sales order?
i have 5 sales orde rtypes, and I sometimes want to change the Availability Check, how can i manage this?
thanks

There are three types of availability checks
1. Availability Check with ATP Logic or Against Planning
2. Availability Check Against Product Allocation
3. Rule-based Availability Check
For ATP logic, the Checking group and Checking rule combination determines the availability check parameters. The checking group is maintained in the material master, and not to Sales order type. Hence you can control by having different groups attached to different materials.
If you have Advanced Planner Optimiser (APO) then you can use the Rule based availability check. You can attach a Business transaction to a Sales document type and thus control the availability check in sales order level also.
Refer the below extracts:
<b>Define business transaction</b>
Path : spro -- img -- sd -- BF -- Av chk and TOR --- Rule based availabilty check
In this step you can define the business transactions. These transactions must also be available in the APO planning system. Here the availability check control is carried out for the transactions.You can find the business transactions in the APO planning system (Field BPROC) under:
Global ATP -> Settings -> Rule-based ATP -> Conditions -> Assign rule strategy.
<b>Assign business transaction to sales order type</b> t code VOV8
In this IMG activity, you assign the actions you defined previously to the order types. This activates the availability check settings for this order type, that were maintained in the APO planning system.

Disable Availability Check on Sales Order But Activate on Outbound Delv

Greetings all experts !
Currently, there's a new request to create a new processes whereby during the sales order creation, no availability check will be in place but material will still be posted to production planning ( TOR ).
Availability check instead should be activated during the creation of outbound delivery.
I have already configured in such a way that the relevant sch line item ( VOV6 ) - availability check is unchecked and TOR is checked.
But during creation of sales order, availability check is still in place for material specified.
I have check on the necessary requirement class and requirement type settings. Fyi, requirement class used - availability check is ticked. Could this be the reason even though i have disabled availability check on sch line ?
I have tried to untick the availability check setting in requirement class ( OVZG ), and while this can disable the availability check in Sales order, but that configuration will also disable availability check in outbound delivery.
My queries :
1 ) What are the configurations that I need to look into to cater to the above request. To disable availabilty in sales order but instead, run availability in outbound delivery ?
2 ) Is there any way I can disable the availability check on based on sales order type using userexit or function module ?
3 ) Is there any additional function module/bapi/userexit that i can implement to force outbound delivery to run availability check ?
My apologies for such lenghty message here but really really need some valuable feedback here as I'm totally at lost with the new requirement for now.
Many thanks in advance.
Warmest Regards,
Edie O

In SPRO
goto SD>Schedule line>Define schedule line categories
here check if the schedule line category associated with your mentioned order has a flag ticked for Availability.
Availability check for sales
You must carry out an availability check for the following transaction.
The indicator is determined as a proposal in conjunction with the respective requirements type. It can be changed in individual shipping transactions. However, only one restriction is effective.
Example
You do not set an indicator for maintaining the requirements type. In this case, no availability check is carried out. This is independent of the selection in the respective transaction.
You set an indicator for maintaining the requirements type. In this case you can decide whether or not you require an availability check for the relevant transaction.

Availability check in service order quotation in SAP CRM

Hello Experts,
I am trying to establish an availability check for service order quotations in CRM
Could somebody please guide me through the steps to solve this problem.
Thanks in advance,
Itisha

Hello
For quotations, only an availability information is triggered and that shows only confirmation when creating but not after
save. You can find the logic in our standard function module CRM_CONFIRM_DEL_T_SCHEDLIN_EC
You can also find information in [ online documentation|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_crm70/helpdata/en/45/b67bba228747f5e10000000a114a6b/frameset.htm]

Availability Check in planned Order & Production Order

Dear All,
How can I achieve the same Availability Check (missing Parts ) output in Planned Order & Production Order.
Currently in Availability check in Planned Order is bit different in the sense, I have the Component in Stock without any reservation. But in Planned Order it shows in Missing part.
But if I convert this Planned Order to Production Order, it is not visible in Missing parts which is correct.
I want to have the same missing part report for both Planned Order & Production Order.
Thanks
Regards'
Raghu

Dear Brahmankar,
Thanks for replay.
Now i did, the said possibility, in OPJK is different from my Regular material master rule.
When i see, availability in MD12 it shows the material available, and same as in Production Order check as well.
But when, I use MDVP, for check. the same planned order shows the same component as missing.
am i on the right track?
Please suggest.
Thanks

Note messages at the time of availability check in sales order entry form

Hello Friends,
Im getting the following note messages at the time of availability check in the sales order entry form.
ATP Process resulted in no data
User defined exception in package OE_SCHEDULE_UTIL Procedure Load_Results_from_rec
User defined exception in package OE_SCHEDULE_UTIL Procedure Load_Results_from_tbl
After this when we book the order, the order line status becomes 'Booked' and does not change to 'Awaiting Shipping'
As a result of which im not able to proceed ahead with the rest of the order to cash cycle.
Can somebody please guide me in resolving this error.
We don't intend to use ATP as the client's business process is such that they maintain adequate inventory balances.
Regards
Anil Wadhwa

Hi Anil
Are you using a RAC DB configuration? Please check if this is true, there are special setup steps that are required to be performed in case of RAC DB configuration and this issue usually occurs if such configuration is missing specifically if its happening randomly for some ATP requests.
You can find actual steps to be performed on metalink.

Availability check at sales Order level

I am working in retail project and we have Cash sales, Rush order, Standard order scenario. All articles are created as Trading articles HAWA.
When we create a sales order with cash sales document type, Rush order the availability check happens at sales order level itself but if I use the OR document type the availability check happens at delivery document level not at sales order level
I want the availability check to be happening at sales order level so I have marked the availability in VOV6 for schedule category CP and CV.
I donu2019t have the stock for the material X and we have not created any purchase order for X material but system is giving the confirmed delivery date with OR document type. So I have marked the check without RTL in OVZ9. After this system shows the confirm delivery qty is 0.
I think if the availability check happens without replenishment lead time then only I can get the output as per my requirement
Can anyone guide me is it the right way to address this scenario

Hello,
Cash sales --> The detail configuration that has to be made for Cash sales are as follows:
1. Create a new order type ZBV by Copying the BV Standard Order and in the functionality of ZBV activate immediate delivery.
2. Create a new category ZBVN by copying item category BVN and check whether credit active unchecked or not in ZBVN.
3. Make all the neccessay setting for the item category determination for cash sale for which u configured.
After the delivery document is created in the background, billing document is generated wrt Order.
Rush order -
>
1. Create a new order type ZRO by Copying the RO Standard Order and in the functionality of ZBV activate immediate delivery.
2. Create a new category ZTAN by copying item category TAN and check whether credit active unchecked or not in ZTAN.
3. Make all the neccessay setting for the item category determination for Rush order which u configured.
Please remember here the goods has to be picked and then PGI has to be posted. Then only you can bill the Order.
And for standard order process, please refer the below link:
