Availability check at Warehouse level.

We are creating Automatic Delivery and Pick Transfer Order from the Sales Order. Now when availability check is run at IM level stock is present.
But, In Warehouse some bins are blocked for stock removal .
So, Transfer Order is getting created for only stock available in WH.
Question: Can I create a storage type (maybe interim) that stores the returned and blocked stock and such that this stock would not be considered for Availability check?
Please advise.
Thanks, Rohit.

Hi
The simple answer is NO because wherever you put the stock in WM the availability check only looks at IM and if it is available you will not have a problem until you come to pick it.
There are two options I can think of to prevent this.
1. Create another St Location and transfer the stock that you cannot use to this st location - however this can be very messy.
2. The easiest way is if there is stock that you cannot pick in WM because it is Genuinely unavailable then 'Block' the stock and place it on Status 'S' in both IM and WM and then the availability check will not see it.
If however the stock is ok and it is only the block on the bin that is stopping you picking it then either remove the block or move the stock somewhere else.
I hope that this helps

How to incorporate availability check into Capacity Leveling

Dear All,
Is there a way to incorporate availability check (ATP) into capacity leveling process for planned/production orders?
To make SAP check components availability on new dispatched dates:
- if components are available then to do dispatching,
else, find next available date for capacity, check components availability
To continue such search this until all components will be available on dispatched dates.
Thanks in advance,
Regards,
Andrey

Hi Andrey,
Actually, the function can't be realized exactly according to your requirement, but you may check the following link to see if it is a workaround for you:

Availability check at plant level

dear all,
my issue is
i maintain two storage location for raw material say 1 and 2. material is transported from 1 to 2 by 311 Mvt. as 2 is storage at shop floor.
production storage location maintain in MRP-2 view of this material master is 2 .
our client require that while release of process order for its header material system should not give material shortage error .system should check availability of material in production storage location 2.
on not finding sufficiet quatity in 2 it should check for storage location 1, and on finding sufficient qty to fill the remaining requirement shuld not give error of missing part.
to check material availability at plant level i ticked the indicator-"No storage location Inspection" in OPJJ config. setting.
on this config. change also, while releasing the process order system automatically pick storage location 2(production storage location maintain in material master) on checking the mateial page assigned for this order and give missing part on check availability.
some of our raw material are active for batch management.
here also on releasing order of there header material system assign production storage location 2 to that raw material assigned to that order and searh batch only in storage location 2. and on not finding any stock in storage loc. 2 give message insufficient batch assignment and not check the stock in stor. loc. even it available in 1.
kindly explain ...what may be the reason,
even on checking availability at plant level its not considering all the storage location assigned to that materila for this plant.
thanks and regards.

Dear,
In MRP2 view you need to maintain the second storage location i;e production storage laoction from which you are taking batches for production. So it will get copied to the component details of order.
When you will do the batch determination at that time system will select the batches as per availibility.
So in your case you need to do the batch determination agian after the store persone transfer the material to the production storage loaction then system will take all batches available in the production storage location.
Stock determination enables you to implement various strategies to withdraw material for goods issues and stock transfers. You configure these strategies in Customizing. Based on the material requirements entered, the R/3 system determines how and when the material should be withdrawn, and from which storage locations and stocks.
Create sort sequence with ascending order
Then create batch search strategy in MBC1 or COB1 transaction
Give the sort rule there
Give the no. of batch splits as much as you want or just keep 999
Then try doing the batch determination & check if you are getting what you want
If you don't use the Batch entry as 3 then COR6N you can determine batches here then it will get copied to order after confirmation.
Revert if you want further clarifications
Hope clear to you.

Sales order availability check considering the ROH stock/procurement time

Hi Gurus,
Our client's Production process requires the availability check at order level to consider the procurement time required for the Rawmaterial (BOM component of the FERT, whose sales order is taken) in cases when this RM is not available in the plant, and Availability check should not consider this procurement time when this RM is available in the plant.
ie in first case, it should consider the total time for in-house production as well as the time required to procure the rawmaterials, along with all other times that we use like Gr processing time, packing picking etc.
In second case it should not consider the RM procurement time, but only the inhouse production time and other times as applicable.
To my understanding, Availability check at order level will only check the time given in the MRP view of the FERT, and it does not check anything about RM stock or RM procurement time.
Can you please give me some suggestions to meet this requirement of the client (client is into Food Product Manufacturing).
Your quick response will be very helpful
Thanks
Jobi

Jobi,
Our client is not following Assemble to order or even make to order. The typical production process followed is neither make to order nor make to stock.
Understood, although I am not sure why you are telling me what he has today; since your client has already told you his existing solution is unsatisfactory. I have described a solution that seems to meet the short list of business requirements that you described in your first post. I suggest you offer this solution to your client, unless he has already told you that ATO is not acceptable for some other reason not mentioned in your post.
As already mentioned by the other experts Saurabh and Kiran and Mariano, the requested functionality in general is not supported for MTS in standard ECC. As always, anything is possible through enhancement or 'workaround', as long as the client has enough time and money, and you have sufficient skills to implement.
If the client is willing to implement APO, which is the standard SAP advanced planning system, such a solution (multi-level availability checking with MTS) is possible as standard. Within the Global Available To Promise Module of APO there are a couple of ways to get at this type of ATP solution.

Availability Chk at Plnt level excluding the stk from some storage locatn

Hello Gurus,
I want to configure availability check at Plant Level which should exclude stock from few storage location. Example: if Plant 1000 is having 20 Storage location, at the time of availability Check it should consider only stock of 15 storage location and not the other 5 storage location.
How do i achieve this scenario.
Note: the 5 storage location which it should not consider can have unrestricted stock.
Thanks

Hi Prashant,
You could check this on "Availability Check Control " screen,
There is a chack box to select " Storage location", This indicator is used to set the scope of the availability check. It is used to switch off the check at storage location level.
Hope this will help you for further analysis.

Ability to include Batch determination within Availability Check

Hi All,
My client has a requirement where the availability check must be driven based on the batches selected from the batch determination. This works fine when the line item is initially entered. However if the item gets backordered, there is no way to carry out batch determination again.
Has someone encountered this or a similar scenario. For clarity, here are the steps :
1. Sales order creation
- Enter line item
- Batch determination executed
- Availability Check carried out based on batch found
- Schedule line gets created with quantity determined.
2. Backorder processing
- Order is accessed
- Schedule line is accessed
- Availability Check carried out ( no batch determination executed ).
- Schedule line gets updated with the quantity determined.
If anyone has ideas or has worked on getting the batch determination triggered within the availability check or backorder processing, it would be great if you can share your experience here.

My requirement is as follows:
At the time of sales order creation system should check the availability check against the batch which is derived by the automatic batch determination.
Can you please tell me how to configure this senario (availability check on batch level)
Regards

RM Availability Check in Sales Order

Dear all,
My client wants to check RM availability in Sale Order.
We have multilevel BOM in which , there will be SFGs in the intermediate levels.
For that , we have done the following settings.
OVZG - Availability Check at component level in assembly order indicator enabled.
As per the settings, while creating sale order , system checks the availability of immediate lower level component ie,SFG first and then FG next.
Whereas, client wants only to check the RM availability(ie,last level) always.
Is it possible?
Thanks in advance,
Babs

Babs,

Availability Check at Storage Location Level.

Hi All,
Currrently we have the availability check functionality happenin at the plant level. If the stock is available in the plant, then the sales order is getting confirmed. But, the requirement is if the stock is insufficient then system should check all storage locations attached to the plant. Can someone please guide as to how this can be achieved?
Regards,
Raghav

Hi
This is not a standard SAP functionality. Either you have to input the storage location manually in the sales order or to automate this, you have to enhance the functionality using a userexit.
Thanks,
Ravi

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:

Stock confiramtion at sales order level for future date- Availability Check

Hi all
Here is the scenario
This setting is available in the system:
Stock is available
Sales order created with Requested delivery date in future-> not confirmed
Sales order created with Requested del date today -> confirmed
The requirement :
how and where to change this setting in IMG so that also orders with Requested Delivery Date in future are confirmed if stock is available.
As this is urgent request to respond quickly.
Regards
Devender

Hello Devender,
You can achieve the mentioned scenario by configuring ATP. You can do ATP with RLT or ATP without RLT.
In ATP with RLT, system will check and confirm the quantities from existing stock only and if quantities are insufficient then the system will consider inline POs or manufacturing time to confirm remaining quantitites.
Else you will be getting schedule lines for only items in stock and remaining will be unconfirmed as ATP without RLT will be activated i.e., system will check and confirm the quantities from existing stock only.
Types of Availability Check in Sales and Distribution
Processing
There are three types of availability check:
_ Check on the basis of the ATP quantities
_ Check against product allocation
_ Check against planning
The following SD-specific control features need to be maintained in Customizing:
_ Checking group
The checking group controls whether the system is to create individual or collective
requirements in sales and shipping processing. In addition, a material block for the
availability check with transfer of requirements can be set here. The checking group can
also be used to deactivate the availability check. This option was created especially for
the assembly order so that when the bill of material is exploded in the assembly order,
the individual components, if necessary, can be classified as non-critical parts as far as
procurement is concerned.
The checking group specifies in combination with the checking rule the scope of the
availability check. It is proposed in the material master record on the basis of the material
type and the plant, and copied into the sales and distribution documents.
_ Checking Rule
You use the checking rule to control the scope of the availability check for each
transaction in sales and distribution. You also specify whether the check should be
carried out including or excluding replenishment lead time. The individual checking rules
define by transaction, which stock and inward and outward movement of goods should
be taken into account for the availability check.
_ Schedule line category
You can control with the schedule line category whether an availability check and
transfer of requirements should be carried out in the sales documents. The possible
settings for this at schedule line level are dependent on the settings in the requirements
class which is determined from the requirements type of the material.
_ Delivery item category
The delivery item category can be used to control whether an availability check takes
place in deliveries.
Requirements type
The various requirements are identified by their requirements type. The requirements
type refers to the requirements class and its control features.
_ Requirements Class
The requirements class contains all control features for planning such as relevance for
planning, requirements planning strategy and requirements consumption strategy. In
addition, it is specified at a global level whether an availability check is to take place for
the material in the sales and distribution documents on the basis of the ATP quantity
(ATP = available to promise) and whether requirements are to be passed on. A finer
degree of control can be obtained for sales documents using the schedule line category.
Replenishment lead time is only included in the check performed on the basis of the
ATP quantity.
Prerequisites
An availability check can only be carried out if the following prerequisites have been fulfilled:
_ The control elements described above for the availability check must be maintained in
Customizing for Sales and the relevant assignments made to the sales transactions
_ The availability check must be switched on at requirements class level and - for the
availability check in the sales documents - at schedule line category level
A requirements type must exist by which the requirements class can be found
_ A plant must be defined. It can either be proposed from the customer or material master
record or can be entered manually in the document.
_ A checking group must be defined in the material master record on the Sales/plant data
screen in the Availability check field
Configuring entries of the Availability Check
IMGSDBasic fncsAvailability check and TORAvailability checkAvailability check with ATP logic or against planningDefine checking groups
You can use SAP std checking groups of 01 for summarized reqts or 02 for daily reqts or u can create ur own.
The columns total sales and total deliveries are selection options whereby u can configure a checking rule to sum up reqts to post to MRP either individually or by day or week.
Column 5, Block qty; set this block if u want several users to be able to process the material simultaneously in different transactions without blocking each other. The No Check indicator is used when u want a material to not be relevant for an ATP check.
Defining a material block for other users. The Block checkbox is an indicator that enables u to block the particular material from being checked for availability if it is already being checked at the same time by another user.
Defining the default value for checking groups. However should no entry exist for the checking group in the material master record, one can set a default value per material type and plant.
Controlling the availability check. In this section, u 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. 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 sd transaction. The carry out control for the availability check must be maintained for both the sales order and delivery.
Reward points if helpful.

Priyanka

Custom program for availability check and update for existing sale order at Item level(VA02)

Hi,
I came to know Bapi_Saleorder_Simulate can be used for availability check and update an existing sale order.but there is no sample program explaining the process.I have tried this by passing parameters ORDER_HEADER_IN , ORDER_ITEMS_IN ,ORDER_PARTNERS and ORDER_SCHEDULE_EX(for getting details),also i have assigned the sale document number ,custom document type(ZSO) in ORDER_HEADER_IN . while executing the BAPI I am getting the error external number range is not assigned for the document type ZSO . I am confused on seeing this error. It is possible to do availability check for existing sale order using this BAPI. Please explain how to achieve this.It will be really helpful if it is expalained with an example.
Regards,
Shanmuga

Hello, I think you may have been misinformed about this BAPI updating a sales order at item level. As far as I understand it this BAPI can be used to simulate the creation of a sales order which obviously would include and ATP check. This is why it is giving the error because it is simulating creation but you are entering a value in a field that should be automatically generated (i.e. the sales order number). For change the sales order at item level have you looked at BAPI_SALESORDER_CHANGE? I pretty sure this BAPI both updates sales order (header or item level) and can do an ATP first.
Points are always welcome if you feel an answer has been helpful.

Hi, availability check at sales order level

hi,
sap gurus,
i know that availability check is optional at sales order level.
how to make it compulsary at this level.
any clues
plz help me on this.
my id is timmampalliatgamildotcom

Dear balaji
Go to VOV6, select your schedule line category and maintain tick for "Availability" which will make the end users mandatory for availability check.
In fact, for normal sales process, the schedule line category is CP in which the tick would be there.
thanks

Availability check in Production order at WM Level

Hi Gurus,
Some body explain how the availability check can be carried out at WM level for the components for the Production order.
Components are WM Managed. supply areas are maintained for the back flushing.
is there any possibility with Standard function or only way to implement this Enhancements?
Regards,
Manick.
Edited by: Manickavasaham S on Aug 14, 2010 1:13 PM

Hi,
More specifically for ex.
Header Mat A
Component 1 : B supplyarea 123
Component 2 C Supply area 246
if the components should be back flushed from supply area '
component B i have 200 pcs in stock in supply area 123, there are 4 production orders each of 40 pcs.
when creating the production order system should check the stock of Supply area for creating the TR automatically. If new order is created for 20pcs. Then for B' i have a stock of 40 pcs in the supply area additional. system should not create the TR in this case for the component 'B'.

Availability checking user exit at sales order level

Hi ,
Is ther any availability Check user Exit at the sales order level?
1)I want to make Confirm quantity to zero in the sales order level
2)The block confirmation is set to VBEP-BMENG to "0" for each item where VBEP-LIFSP =Z1
Is ther any related USEREXIT in the sales order to make confirm quantity to ZERO
(VBEP-BMENG=0)
Ragu

may be you can try putting some logic is MV45AFZZ in USEREXIT_MOVE_FIELD_TO_VBEP
or in the exitSDTRM001 - Reschedule schedule lines without a new ATP check.

Availability check box at schedule line level and requirement class level

Hi All
What is the significance of availability check field at schedule line level and requirement type level.
If I remove the check box at schedule line level, then there won't be any availability check carried out in the sales order, even though in requirement class it is checked. Is it for doing availability once the requirement is passed to MRP...
In make to stock scenario, no availability check is active at schedule line level.
scenario 1. stock is 0 in plant, when i place an order for 10 quantity, does system give any confirmed quantity on so and so date...or the confirmed quantity will be zero or as there is no availability check carried out, it confirms 10 quantity on customer requested delivery date and the time of creation of delivery, it gives an error message stating zero quantity is available. which one is correct in all the above.
In make to order scenario, no availability check is active at schedule line level.
order was created for 10 qty, as there is no availability check active, does the system give some date based on the lead times maintained in the material master or not?
Regards
Sree

Hi sreekar
The significance of availability check at schedule line level is to determine weather availability check and TOR should be carried out for sales orders or not.
If you remove check box at schedule line level , availability check and TOR wont be carried out at sales order level.
Coming to the scenario you said , make to stock , i think the availability check you are using is 01 make it 02. which is planned requirements. and stratergy group as 10. in MRP3 view in MMR. .
as the availability check u have put 01 & stratergy group as 10 availability check doesnt carry
coming to the scenario 2 , if the stock is 0 in plant and if you create a sales order, then the confirmed quantity should be 0 and that particular order will go to backorder processing.
sometimes it confirms the ordered quantity as the confirmed qunatity, and it gives a confiremed delivery date on which the stock is confirmed , but that date is a tentative date.
all these unconfirmed orders will go to backorders. once the qunatity is confirmed automatically , delivery date also will be done
Coming to scenario 3 , when you create MTO order there will be availability check checked at the schedule line level. can you tell wat is the schedule line you are getting is it CP or ND?
for schedule lines , ND - no availability check will be there , PD - availability check will be there
Note: plz check 1st the availability check you have entered in MMR , if it is 01 make it as 02. and then run these cycles.
Reward points if useful and if Any queries let me know
