Available quantity

Hi,
The calculation for Available Quantity is sometimes confusing for certain companies. In SAP, Available=InStock-Committed+Ordered. Several companies consider Available as InStock-Committed.
It would be great if this calculation could be user-definable (per company). For example, you could have this under Document Settings, with the options:
Available=InStock-Committed+Ordered
Or
Available=InStock-Committed
Thanks,
Jose

Hi Jose......
I think you are not aware about MRP Functionality not only in SAP but in Basics also....
Please go through these links......

MRP Logic -Negative Available quantity in MD04

Hi Experts,
We have negative available quantity in MD04. There are no receipts generated particularly for some period even after MRP Run.
MRP Type is maintained as P1- MRP Fixing type.
Safety time is maintained as 3 days.
Planning strategy is 40.
Please suggest, what would be the reason, why i am not getting schedule lines between 09-Aug and 27-Aug which makes available quantity minus, after that there are generation of schedule lines.
Please help with inputs..

Hi,
MRP type P1 is used with planning time fence(mandatory).
Have you used pl time fence. How many days? For those period system will not generate any more planned order.

Hi,
I'm not sure what you mean when you are speaking about inventory levels and available quantity.
I mean that you may have stock of 100 pcs of a certain material but from an open PrdOrd can come a reservation for this component (e.g. 20 pcs) that reduces this the available quantity (to 80 pcs).
If you want only the stock levels, you don't have to write any ABAP code, since MB52 report is designed for this purpose.
If you want to know the available stock (considering requirements (PIR, DepReq, SO), and stock-like MRP elements (PldOrd, PurReq, PrdOrd, PO, etc)) you should check report MD04 and examine how it works, which tables it uses (ST01).

Is there a possibility should not consider available quantity at time of MR

Sir,
Is there a possibility should not consider available quantity at time of MRP planning?
Example:
Available stock: 100
Planning stock: 100 (MD61)
Schedule line to be generate: 100 Qty (Exclude the available quantity at time of MRP planning)
regards,
sampath

Dear Sampath/Raj,
1) Move the stock to particular storage location for which you don't want to be consider by MRP
2) Now go to OMIR t-code, input value as 1 for that particular storage location
3) Go to MMSC, input value as 1 for that particular storage location
4) Go to MRP - 4 view Down you can find field Storage location input value as 1
5) Now run MRP, system will not consider stock of that particular storage location

WM create TO: Available quantity in bin is zero

Dear Gurus,
I've got this error "Available quantity in bin is zero". Below is the step that I've done:
1. MIGO to issue 5PC in batch 1 to cost center.
2. In WM, stock now is in interim stype 911, qty -5 PC.
3. Then I created TO to transfer from the real bin (BIN1) to interim area 911 --> System has error "Available quantity in bin is zero".
4. I have double checked stock in WM (LX02, LS26,...), there is enough available stock in the BIN1, batch 1. Also there is no pending TR, TO.
Please help to find the reason of this error and how I can clear this interim area.
Thanks,
Trang

Hi Nick,
After I did step 1, material document created and also TR created. I see this TR works normal like other TRs.
But when I did step 3, create TO from material doc (LT06) or from the TR (LT04) with source bin is the real bin (such as Bin1) and destination bin is the auto interim bin named cost center (such as stype 911, Bin ADMIN), the system says that Bin1 has Available zero stock.
What I've checked is:
- I checked stock in IM (MB5B), stock is there. Stock in WM (LX02) also there in bin1.
- I tried to do transfer order for other batches of the same material in the same bin1, everything goes ok. The error only happens with this specific batch 1! When I check batch master for batch1, I couldn't find any thing strange there.
I still stuck with this error up to now. Please help!

Confusion on available quantity

Dear friends/experts,
Sometimes we found that on-hand-quantity is more than zero but the available quantity is zero in a specific subinventory, but we can not find any SO which reserved those on-hand quantity in that subinventory. So we can not pick release any SO with those on-hand goods.
Afterwards, we released some reservations in another subinventory for the same goods and lots. Then the on-hand quantity in the original subinventory changed to be available. Then we can pick release the.
Although the problem has been resolved, but I'm very confused on that case. Is there anyone knowing the actual reason?
Thanks in advance.
Best regards,
Ning

Try to see on hand quantity of the item, subinventory wise. It is possible that your operation unit might have many subinventories and you are trying to transact the item from that subinventory which has zero on hand of partcular item.

Availability quantity after changing sales order -

Hi experts,
where is the settings for availability quanity for assembly order..
problem is..
after creating sales order when we wanted to do change ..that time i am not getting availability quantity..
Thanksin Advance,
Anthyodaya...

Hello,
I hope you are using the Standard Assembly to Order strategy,in ATO if any changes in Sale order like Delivery date, Quantity will pass to production Order directly,vice Versa any changes in production Order will be passed back to Sale Order.
Generally in ATO availability check will be carried out at component level, Based on the availability date of component , the delivery date get adjusted.
Now explain me , what changes you have done in sale order, either date or quantity, what message you are getting during your availability check.
Regards
Pradeep

I have already config batch detemination. This material don't have MRP View 1-4 but I choose availibility check 01 in sales/plant view.
I check config at t-code OMCP and click transaction button to view good withdrawal (MB1A). The checking rules is 03 and I click define checking rule button to view availibility check control overview, double click availibility 01 and checking rule 03.
It sets as follows;
Incl Purchase Order
Include Reservation
Include Sales Requirement
Include Delivery

MD04 - Available quantity

Hi....
I m creating a Report to display the available quantity for a
particular material on a particular date....same way it is displayed
in the standard tcode MD04.
Also I need to display the projected usage quantity for next three
months where user will input the date. I need to find this projected
usage quantity again like MD04 transaction code. This tcode uses
structures MDEZ and MDSU to display the available quantity and other
data.
Are there any function modules availble to get it or are there any
tables from where i can get this required data?
Thanks in advance,
Prasad

Maybe you could use the function module MD_STOCK_REQUIREMENTS_LIST_API?

Negative Available quantity in MD04

Hi Experts,
We have negative available quantity in MD04. There are no receipts generated particularly for some period even after MRP Run.
Please suggest.

Hi,
Check the MRP type in material master. If this is ND, then system will not make any procurement proposal. Also check the strategies such Make to stock / make to order. If the requirement strategy & the strategy in the material master differs, then also there will not be any procurement proposal.
Regards,
Prashant
