Availability check in subcontracting P.O

Hi Experts,
I have a scenerio, Finished material - A, component - B & C. two Boms for fini material A. Bom 1 with component B and Bom2 with component C.
When creating purchase order system should check the availability of Bom 1, if stock is available system picks the Bom 1 otherwise system should pick Bom2.
Regards
Senthil

HI,
Select the sub material line item in the screen,then click on the lens on the left hand side then click on check availabilty icon.The system will give input whether material is available.

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 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.

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...

*Availability check for Subcontracting*

Dear All,
I am using subcontracting Scenario for semifinished product. For this i am making purchase order for this material But How to check availability of Bom component which is used in P.O. for subcontractor. Because it very hectic to check every material for bom in MMBE. If any solution pls revert back with Proper Solution. Thanks in advance.
Regards
Atul

Dear ZOD,
You can check the availability of BOM Material through the Pur.Order.
Just do the following steps-:.
Open pur.order - Item details (at bottom) -click on material data Tab page,select Component,next screen select the row & click F2,at bottom of that screen there is one button for Availability check click on that,at next click on ATP Availability & then overview stock.
You will find out the result what you want.
Hope it will clear you.

Component Availability Check for Subcontracting PO

Hi,
Is their any Setting to check the component availability and reservation of component material in stock after creating Subcontracting Purchase Order, As that is available in case of production order.
Regards
Siddharth

Dear Mr. R Brahmankar
This what we are doing in the current mapping, but the problem we are facing is that this activity is done by 2 different departments. Subcon PO is created by one department and Component material is sent to vendor by another department.
So while I am creating PO I will check that all the components are avaibale by seeing it in MMBE or in MB52, If stock is available(or will be available in 1-2 days, as In-house produciton of components is there) I create the PO. But the transfer of stock to vendor might take a gap of 3-5 days after creating the PO. So after 5 days stock is might not available or available in shortage(as it is consume by Inhouse Producion or by some other PO).
Can any soluiton is there to this problem ?

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.

MRP Availability check

Hi All,
I am running MRP for a Assembly which is to be assembled by a subcontractor. MRP run should create PR for child parts of Assembly(Finished Goods). MRP type is PD and Strategy is 10 and availability check for Assembly (Finished Goods) is KP and for child parts is 02.
The Purpose of MRP run is simply creating PR for child parts (Raw Materials) as per Plan given in Demand Management table (MD61)
PRs are getting created sucessfully after MRP run but I have issue with Assembly parts (Finished Goods).
MRP requirement calculation should not consider stock of Assembly and it should also not consider subcontracting Purchase order of Assembly parts (Finished Goods)
Currently it is considering both. How I can avoid this . MRP calculation should consider only Plan given in Demand Management table.
Thanks
Sanjay
Pls. refer thread posted earlier
Re: MRP Availability check

Hi,
In the scope of check OPPJ for the assembly exclude the sloc stock by
activating the indicator No sloc stock inspn for assembly.
For Subcontractor stock In OPPJ activate the indicator W/O subcontracting
ie you need to define two scope of checks.
You use the logic of Material Provision indicators.

Sales Order availability checks + date changes in POs v Proc Orders

Am getting into a knot about availability checks.
I have a MTO process. All my materials have the same planning strategy (MRP3) but are either inhouse manufactured/external (MRP2)
1. I create a sales order for a subcontracted material so MRP creates a Purchase Requisition which I convert to a Purchase Order..
OR
2. I create a sales order for a manufactured material so MRP creates a planned order which I convert to a Process Order
Let say I have a delivery date in the sales order of September 20th for both scenarios above.
1. For the subcontract PO, my delivery date is confirmed by the vendor as October 10th so I change the delivery date in the PO. If I run the availabilty check in the sales order, the sales order delivery date changes from September 20th to October 10th.
Perfect.
BUT
2. For the manufactured products, if I change the process order to have a Finish Date of October 10th due to a busy production line, when I go into my sales order and run the availability check, it still comes back with September 20th, i.e. ignores the date on the Process order. Why isn't it updating to October 10th?
My ATP check is set up to include Production/Process Orders. any suggestions as to what I'm doing wrong?
Many thanks.

Hi Shiva
Here are my availability check settings in OVZG
All "Stocks" checkboxes are unticked except for "W/O Subcontracting".
All "In/outward movements" checkboxes are ticked.
X "check all planned orders"
X "Take all production orders into account"
X "Check releases for stock transport orders and requisitions".

Availability check issue Please help

Hey Gurus,
We created a bunch of sales order with material 8000379 with the availabilty check in the material master as "02". We decided the change this to "KP" to no check and now we are not seeing a confirmation line for delivery in the sales order unless we delete the line item in the sales order and recreate. This is causing us a massive problem. We have almost 1000 sales order with this material that we woudl need to change. Is there anyway to reread the master data for this material?
Thing to note, this material is a subcontracted material and it has a PO against it so we can't just delete the line item and recreate it on the sales order. Is there a better solution than deleting the line item? We are desparate for a solution.
Sincerely,
Nina

MDVP - Plan order (NB type) Availability check problem

Hello GUru's,
I received one issue, the transaction MDVP does not select the plan orders for Availability check.
DUring my analysis I found that, materials have procurement type is "F". Plan orders are generated by system,
It has order type "NB" (generally our plan order type is LA - stock order).
When user check the plan orders (NB type) in the transaction code MDVP or COMAC, system shows the message
no plan order is available in the system but I checked in the MD12, plan order is available.
What could be the reason, system is showing like this message and not selecting the plan order for coll. Avl check.?
Procurement type is F and plan order type is NB this is the reason?
Kindly help me.
Thanks in advance.

Dear,
Yes collective availability check has only been implemented for in-house production only.
Order type NB with F will be for the subcontracting. Also the collective availability check (Transaction CO28, MDVM) takes no subcontract orders or subcontracting purchase requisitions into account.
If you want planned orders with special procurement subcontracting into account during the collective availability check then you need to activate the modification, set the variable MOD_SUBCON to 'X' in the include PPIOHF02 after the implementation.
For more details refer the OSS Note 198398 - Collect. availability check w/o subcontracting planned ords.

Availability Check required without "Safety Stock"

Hi,
I have a fert material "FG' whose prodn order i am creating.
This FG has a child Component "RM"
Available Stock for RM = 20
Safety Stock for RM =     20
No Receipts / No Reservations exists for RM.
I want the production order not to consider SAFETY STOCK. Hence in OPJJ i removed the Tick "Include Safety Stock".
When i create production order, as per the above setting, it should show " Material Avaliable", but instead it is showing Material Shortage.
Plz guide.
Thanks in advance,

Creation of Sale Order for configurable material with availability check.

Hi,
We have a scenario in which the material is configurable. The configurable material (X) has few variants (Ex: X1, X2, X3, X4, X5). While booking the sale order, we use the material number (X).
Further, the material planning is done for the variants X1, X2, X3, X4, X5. The standard variants are planned for production in advance.
1.     While booking the sale order, we want the availability check of the stock (type matching to happen). What needs to be done in configuration?
2.     While booking the sale order, there is a possibility that the configuration selected will not match with any of the standard variants due to some additional requirements of the optional features, in such cases how to link the standard variants to the sale order & create requirement for additional requirements.
Regards,
Umesh

Hi Umesh,
           1.Create material master for configurable material and variants in mm01.
           2.Maintain BOM for the configurable material in CS01
           3. Configur the variant configuration steps
              a. Create charecteristics T.code CT04
              b. Create values and assign classes
              c. assign the values to charecteristics
              d . Maitain dependence T.code CU01
              e.create configuration profile t.code CU41
              f.stimulate the configuration profile.
4. Do the availability check configuration through this path
IMG --> Sales and distribution > Basic functions ,> Availabilty check and Transfer of requirements.
5. Maintain the Availbility check field and MRP views in the material masters other wise you sit with PP people and do that
I hope it will help you

Availability Check not working for Item Cat TANN or YG05 in Btch Split

Currently working on implementing Automatic Batch Determination (BD) project and one fine piece is holding up the implementation (make or break for project).
In our QA System:
- In inventory we have a quantity of 2 for a material: 1 in one batch and 1 in another batch.
- Create an order with 2 line items with the same material number for a quantity of 1 each. Line item category is TANN
- When you generate the delivery the batch determination causes the items to split (even though you have a quantity of 1 in the line item).
- When you go into the delivery and open up the 1st line item and look at the 900001 line, BD chooses the 1st batch for a quantity of 1. Line item category is YG05.
- When you open up the 2nd line item and look at the 900002 line, BD chooses the 1st batch again, NOT the 2nd batch which it should.
If I change the line item category on the Sales Order to TAN and generate the delivery, BD correctly assigns the 1st batch to the 900001 line item and the 2nd batch to the 900002 line item. Which is correct.
Now for the strange part. The TANN item category and BD works find in our DEV Sandbox, but NOT in our QAS system.
I have spent two days now trying to find out where Availability Check is assigned specifically to Item Categories and any differences between our DEV Sandbox and our QA systems to no avail.
Our customers need the ability to be able to put the same material number on multiple lines of a sales order due to special pricing per customer within an order.
Can anyone direct me to some configuration or transaction that controls Availability Checking by Item Category. I have checked the 0VLP transaction and they are identical between our DEV and QA system for the TANN and YG05 categories.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

In VOV6 the 'CP' Schedule Line Cat. has the Availability flag check. There were a few areas where I found an "Availability" flag and made sure there were all set.
But, I did finally find out what the error was:
Logistics Exec -> Shipping -> Basic Shipping Functions -> Avail Check and Transfer of Requirements -> Transfer of Requirements -> Determination Of Requirement Types Using Transactions
There are entries by Item Category. For
I/C = TANN
MRP type = PD
the Requirement Type was missing (if you look at the entry for TAN/PD you see an 11 in the RqTy column).
So I entered a 11 (Delivery Requirement) into the field and now the Availability Check works and I am getting the correct Batches and quantities during Batch Determination.
There is no entry for the YG05 batch split, so I guess the system just uses the Item Category of the main line item.
Thanks for the responses. Sorry to bother you I should have figured this out earlier.
Scott.

Longer time for Material Availability check while creation of prd order.

Hi guys,
I am facing a weird problem while creating production orders thru CO01.
I enter the component and plant and I am also using the forward scheduling option.
for some reason, SAP is taking a long time for material availability check when I hit the release button.
Sometimes its taking more than an hour. Its happening with few specific BOM's, and I have checked the master data but I could hardly find a problem in master data.
Can someone suggest me some tips ??
Thanks & Regards,
Sashivardhan

Hi,
Please check the Availability check control maintained for Components it should be 01 or 02. Also check the issue storage location maintained or not. You can maintain issue storage location in BOM in Status/lng text tab in Production Storage Location.
Hope this will help.

Navin
