Availability Check / Sales Order / Planning Strategy 50

Hi,
the material master has been setup with planning strategy 50.
now if i sales order is created. the system directly created planned order for the sales order quantity.
Now, there is smtimes a situation that some stock is already present in unrestricted stock for that material. thus during order creation, the system should first check the stock available in unrestricted stock...and if the stock is available, then system should confirm the stock without creating any planned order. and if there is no stock available, then system should go with creating planned order.
now what should i do in ATP check to cater this requiements? Please guide.
Hope i have explained the issue correctly.

Hi Robert,
check this thread Re: Emergent! Can MRP consider unrestricted-use stock with MTO plan strategy???
Best regards,
Zuzana

Availability check - sales order

Hi experts,
I've gone through the relevant info, but still hit the issue below. Pls help. Thx.
Issue: How to include the created order (not delivered ) when running availability check?
Example:
Stock (storage location C) - 1pc
sales order A - 1pc (confirmed in schedule line)
sales order B - 2pcs (1pc confirmed, 1pc unconfirmed)
Those two orders are created agaisnt storage location C. No other stocks against storage location C are available, such as on-order stock.
In my understanding, order B cannot be confirmed as order A has been created firstly.
Background: As the customer just sells the purchased product, he places PO firstly, then sales order following. Thus, he requests new sales order creation to be based on the stock qty, created sales order qty, PO qty to be received & delivered sales order qty.
For this sales scenario, availability check with ATP is activated, but not against product allocation. And the check boxes "incl.purchase orders", "include sales reqmts", "include deliveries" are checked in OVZ9 only.
ps. "Check sales requirements" has been checked in Availability check control while "No storage location inspection" has not been checked.

Dear Cathy
Can you please reconfirm that the combination of availability check and checking rule in OVZ9 in which, you have selected the box "Include sales reqmts" is the same value what you have maintained in material master MRP3 view for availability check ??
If the availability check is same in both the cases, then try to create a fresh order and post the outcome.

How to make payment mean available in Sales Order?

Hi,
Customer is using 2007A PL30 Australia/New Zealand localization. We found in US Demo database, payment mean is available in Sales Order. Business nature of this customer involves down payment/deposit/refund/cancel deposit. We think of using payment mean rather than down payment invoice because of its limitation. May I know where to make this setup or it is due to localization?

Hi,
It could be probably caused by business process nature issue. To know more detail, download this file from partner portal : SAP Business One Globalization Knowledge Base.

Error during availability check for order

Hi PM experts,
How can I make below warning message (W) to an error message (E)?
Message no: CO820 (Error during availability check for order)
Regards,
Nizam
PM Consultant

Hi,
you can cantrol not to release maint orders in case if parts are missing by OIOI transaction, here under Material Availability against Release material you maintain option 3 No release if parts are missing. This way you can achieve this. If there are other components which has stock on Maint order then delete the un-available material from maint order then it will allow you to release the order.
Hope availability check rule is maintained on material master.
Hope it helps.

Check sales order exits for category ZTAC

Hi Experts
I have a requirement to modify the iDOC interfaced program,
In the routien which checks for the existence of a production order, I have to modify the following
1. Inspect each item on the sales order
2. If (and only if) there is atleast one item with a category of "ZTAC" then check for a production order otherwise processing the order in the usual manner.
Could anyone tell me how to check (Is there a sales order) if no then display error message if yes then is there a production order if no display error message if yes Create confirmation .......................
I want to know how to write a coding to check sales order exits from table VBAP,VBAK Etc., .
Thanks in Advanced

and if you found item with cateogry ZTAN then check for production order otherwise go asual manner
I WANT TO WRITE A CODING HERE **********************
if production order required then check
                for each item on sales order item list

Calling "Check Sales Order" on HU2 fails

Hello,
I'm trying to use the ES "Check Sales Order" (Manage Sales Order In) on HU2, by providing the minimal required information (ProcessingTypeCode, BuyerParty and SalesOrganisationID/DistributionChannelCode/DivisionCode).
Calling the ES returns an error "[040(SLS_LORD)] Document type TA does not support user status" (I'm using Order type "OR").
I also tried to use a couple of other order types (RO, TAV, ...) without success.
The same information used with "Create Sales Order" would work.
I have the feeling that it is more likely a role/permission issue.
Is the "Check Sales Order" ES forbidden to standard users ?
Any way to confirm/solve this ?
Any other order type ?
Thanks,
Nicolas.

Sales order planning

hi
can any body help ,what is use of sale order planning ,what is step invovled in it
regards
shivaji

Sachin,
Once the Sales order stock is transfered from 1 to 2, then for the orginal requirement still there are no Reciept elements and stock, so after MRP run system would give you a new Planned order, which you will be executing.
Transfering from One sales order stock to another is NOT a good Idea if the Sales order stock is non-valuated as only the Quantity gets transferred from one to another and not the costs, so be aware of this.

Set Availability Check to Exclude Planned Order

Hi All,
anyone know how to set the availability check so it will not include the planned order in the calculation ?
I find one setting in SPRO, the path is :
Sales & 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 one of the record, and update filed "Incl. Planned Orders".
I've uncheck that field, but I can't get the appropriate result. When I create a new sales order, the availability check still take the planned order I created before into account.
The problem is, my user want to prevent creating delivery before the goods are already put in the stock. So the planned order should not be considered in the availblity check.
Thank you in advance
Rudy

Hi Rudy,
Concept of availability check is to verify if the stock is available at the time of creation of sales order. If available, when it can be ready for delivery (as Packing, arranging for transportation, etc may have lead time) & if not available, when it would be available considering Packing, arranging for transportation, etc lead time.
Availability check whether material is available on required delivery date (backward scheduling) or not. If not available on required delivery date, system will propose next available date (forward scheduling)
1. Define Checking Groups
Menu Path: SPRO>SD>Basic Functions>Availability Check and Transfer of Requirements> Availability Check with ATP Logic or Against Planning>Define Checking Groups
You define checking groups with which you specify the type of requirements records the system is to create when processing sales orders or deliveries
2. Define Material Block for Other Users
Menu Path: SPRO>SD>Basic Functions>Availability Check and Transfer of Requirements> Availability Check with ATP Logic or Against Planning>Define Material Block for Other Users.
3 .Define Checking Groups Default Value
Menu Path: SPRO>SD>Basic Functions>Availability Check and Transfer of Requirements> Availability Check with ATP Logic or Against Planning>Define Checking Groups Default Value.
4. Carry out Control for Availability Check
Menu Path: SPRO>SD>Basic Functions>Availability Check and Transfer of Requirements> Availability Check with ATP Logic or Against Planning>Carry Out Control for Availability Check.
5. Define Procedure by Requirements Class
Menu Path: SPRO>SD>Basic Functions>Availability Check and Transfer of Requirements> Availability Check with ATP Logic or Against Planning>Define Procedure by Requirements Class.
6. Define Procedure for Each Schedule Line Category
Menu Path: SPRO>SD>Basic Functions>Availability Check and Transfer of Requirements> Availability Check with ATP Logic or Against Planning>Define Procedure for Each Schedule Line Category.
7. Determine Procedure for Each Delivery Item Category

9. Define Default Settings
Menu Path: SPRO>SD>Basic Functions>Availability Check and Transfer of Requirements> Availability Check with ATP Logic or Against Planning>Define Default Settings.
Availability checks
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 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) planned issues (outgoing stock). to examine stock on hand (CO09) proceed to logistics sales & distribution sales environment 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
Check on basis of ATP quantities.
Check against product allocation.
Check against planning.
Configuring Availability check through Checking Groups
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 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
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
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
Checking groups are introduced into the sales order based on the setting in the material master record.
SAP standard checking groups are 01 summarized requirements and 02 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 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 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
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 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.

ATP Check - Sales order

Dear All
Our company requirement is not to save the sales order if stock is not available for any of the line item. This requirement is for specific order type or item catagories.
Currently system is saving the order even if quantity is not available.
Can you please help me how to configure the same in SAP.
Regards
K.C Choudhury

hi,
ATP Check is checking of availablty quantities i.e ATP = Total Warehouse Stock + Planned receipts(Incoming Stock) - Planned Issues (Out going stock)
Availbilty Check is an integral part of business process it determines the if the desire deliverible quantity can be met on requested delivery date or not.Then it passes to Material Requirement Planning. Or
avability check is nothing but checking of availibility of stock which is placed in the order , sys carries out this check through a available to promise (ATP)
When we create a sales order, there are several basic functions which are executed automatically for the dynamic order management . among these basic functions , availability check and transfer of requirements are crucial.
the system first prepares schedule line containing the information on the desired delivery date and quantities , this information is passed to MRP and an avialability check and transfer of requiremnts are executed
First the system carries out backward scheduling and establishes the material avaialbility date = desired delivery date-transit time-loading time-picking & packing time and on this date an availability check is carried out using ATP logic which means avialable to promise quanity =total ware house stock+incoing orders-outgoing
along with the avialability check the requirements also are transferred to MRP.
the configuration involves following
1. switching on at schedule line catagegory the avialability check and TOR
2. configure the avilability check using ATP and using the checking group and Checking rule

APO gATP vs R/3 ATP - To check sales order ATP across multiple plants

Hi There,
I am trying to evaluate gATP functionality for SD sales orders.
The primary requirement is to have sales order ATP checking take place across multiple plants.
E.G.
Sales order line is entered for qty 100
60 is available in plant A, 40 is available in plant B
System checks both plants and creates 2 lines - one for delivery from plant A and one for delivery from plant B
(we are currently heading down the road of writing ABAP to do this 'multi-plant' check in R/3 but the more complex the requirements get the more interested I am in understanding more about APO/gATP)
I would like to understand the benefit of implementing APO / gATP as opposed to using standard R/3 ATP and perhaps writing custom ABAP code to search for inventory across multiple plants.
I would appreciate any insight regarding what is required to setp gATP to perform such checking and any other feedback regarding this issue - especially if you have had to implement something similar at your company.
I have looked here but not much clear help:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_scm50/helpdata/en/26/c2d63b18bc7e7fe10000000a114084/frameset.htm
Thanks,

Hi Niall
you are probably looking at RBATP (Rule based ATP). Look at transaction /sapapo/rba04 in APO where you develop your own location and product substitution rules. Going down an ABAP road in R/3 may work short-term but not long-term as the requirements may get more complex.

Sales order release strategy

hello everybody.
marketing person prepares the sales order and he enters some discount in the pricing procedure. the requirement is that a higher level person will first check if the discounting and other terms & conditions have been maintained correctly. then he/she will release the sales order & the system should run the MRP.
is there any release provision available in SAP that will not allow the marketing person to create the sales order but the order will be saved by some other higher authority? The marketing person should not be able to save the sales order even if he/she tries to do.
please give me the solution step by step if it is a long procedure.

hi,
In a condition record, you can define upper and lower limits to restrict manual changes in the sales document during pricing.
Procedure
To specify limits:
On the overview screen of the condition record, select the appropriate condition record and then choose Goto ® Details.The details screen for the condition record is displayed. Here you can maintain the Upper limit and Lower limit fields as required.
If, during manual processing, you exceed or drop below a defined limit, the system informs you with an error message.
" is there any release provision available in SAP that will not allow the marketing person to create the sales order but the order will be saved by some other higher authority ". not sure if i understood this perfectly. Anyway, dont give the marketing person access to VA01 t.code.
as an alternative, put a credit limit check for all the orders that it goes to a delivery block. let the sales order be saved. no issue. but put a user exit that unless the credit block is released by VKM3 no schedule line is permitted. And VKM3 release provision you give it only to higher level person.
hope it helps.
Thanks

Role of Availability check during order settlement

Dear Gurus,
I would like to ask your help to better understand what is going on.
I have set up an availability check only over material, but when an order is already open due to costing settlement I do not know why the job scheduled go in abend and does not continue just posting a new line into the log as this prg do SDV03V02.
Could somebody help me?
Thanks
Gianluca

hi PSK,
my apologies for the understanding, but what is an MTO?
By the way in an easier way.
When the availability check runs if a user is performing action over it the job (PPIO_ENTRY) goes in abend instead of write a line into a log and proceed.
