Availablity check

Dear Friends,
1.In availablity check configuration,i cant able to understand ,
define material block for other users
2. what is the importance between checking checking group maintained in sales general plant view and checking group in mrp-3.
kindly explain on this.
3. what is back order
points will be rewarded

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.
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.

Availablity Check - With Account Assignment Category Q in the PR/PO

Hi
When I create PR/PO using the acct. assgnt. cat. "Q" availablity check is not working. But, while using "P" it is working fine.
The case is, while I create PR/PO using "P" the G/L account field is open and material used is valuated material.
While I create PR/PO using "Q" the G/L account field is greyed out and the G/L account number is defaulted, the material used is the same valuated material. I doubt this would be the cause for not checking the budget availablity in the case of assigning "Q".
Could some one throw light on this.
Thanks

Availablity Check and Planned order

Hi,
In Material Master Record in MRP3 view , we have a field for "Availablity Check".
Whether it is required for MRP run ?
As we are not doing any stock transfer orders , as SD module is not implemented.
So my Question is :
1) Whether "Availablity Check"field is required for MRP run?
2) While running MD03 Transaction we see Planned order getting generated....What is the use of it and Can we avoid this Planned orders to get generated?
Utsav

Hi,
Availabilty check will check the available stock of the material as per its defiunition .
When the material is MRP material if there exists a requirement for the material either in the form of a sale order or planned independant require ments, SAP checks these requirements anb compares with the available qty and generates the requirements like planned orders , which in turn will get converted into either PRs or Orders depending upon the procurement type of the material in MRP view.
If your material is not related to MRP this data need not be maintained
For more details please refer to the link

ansewe to your first question yes
second question:Planned order is a requirement generated for the short fall of the material when checked with the avauilability check.It can be converted into either PR or Order depending upon the procurement type.
If do not want the planned order to get generated means material need not be maintained with MRP.Means you does not want the shortfall requirement to get generated(if this is your criteria)
Please reply back if you are not satisfied with the answer.

Reservation & Availablity check

Hi ,
To produce a material A , component B is needed . Material A is required for export customer and Domestic customer as well
but the export order is very high importance due to that if the material A stock is available in stores then it should reserve for export order only and the same way the dependent requirement component B also should get reserved
Ex: Export order qty - 10 Nos , Domestic order Qty - 10 Nos , material A is available at stores is 5 Nos , so the 5 numbers should get reserved for export order ( this can be done by ATP check assigned with item category in sale order ) , for the remaining 5 requirement system create a planned order for A and dependent requirement for B
Component B stock is 5 Numbers & this 5 numbers will get reserved for material A based on availablity check rule
but my query is suppose the reserved qty -5 is issued to domestic order requirement then the shoratge for export may occurs.
what are the setting need to be done to avoid the reserved material issuing to other order ( it should get blocked )

R,
The answer is yes, as I stated in my earlier post. The quantities are irrelevant. If 'B' stock is built as 'make to order', it cannot be issued to any other requirement, except for the specific sales order/item for which it was built. In effect, all B stock is reserved to individual orders. There can be no 'stealing' without manual intervention.
You can construct your Bills of materials and Material masters to be MTO all the way down to the Raw Materials, if you wish. In each case, the stock at any MTO level of the BOM only exists to serve one and only one sales order requirement.
I suggest you try this in your sandbox to see how it behaves. Managing B as MTO meets all the requirements you have stated so far.

Availablity Check in Sales Order with Total Replenishment Lead Time

Dear PP Consultants,
This is regarding the TRLT field functionality during availablity check of Sales Order.
I understand the TRLT field is defined manually in Material Master MRP-3 view as the sum of the longest lead time of raw material, in-house-production time and floats.
If during the availablity check of Sales Order, the raw material which is having the longest lead time is already available in stock, can the system calculate the TRLT dynamically and propose the delivery date in sales order only based on in-house production time??
Is there any setting that can be made so that during availability check of Sales Order, the system considers the stock of raw materials and then propose the confirmed dates?
Your early respose is much appreciated. Thanks a lot in advance for your valauble suggestions.
Thanks,
Kishore

Hi,
The RLT is not dynamic, and is not related to the stock situation of the components.
It's only purpose is to give an estimated availability date for the finished material (sold) when no better information is present (like a procurement element).
The only way I know to get an availability date taking into account the availability of components, is the assemble-to-order scenario. In this scenario (MTO!), a production order is created automatically during the creation of the sales order. The system can then use the production order features like scheduling and availability check of components to propose the availability date for the finished product.
Besides that, you can get much more complex solutions for ATP using APO's ATP engine.

Material Availablity check of the Process Order......

Hi there,
If the reservations of material are made against the process order & the material is not available and the stock is expected in near future........ then during the material availablity check of the process order........will it show that the material is available............
Please elucidate me.......
Thanks
Kaushik

Hi Kaushik,
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.
Therefore the system checks the current available quantity of stocks.........
but, for example imagine if the available stocks are not sufficient to meet the order............then the system checks replenishment lead time of the material i.e. time taken for the material to become available either internally (in house production) or externally (from a vendor) and then issues a material availability date.........i.e. date on which material would be available for delivery.
Depending on the above checks, the systems issues the delivery date.

Availablity check with ATP logic

Hi everybody
Can any one tell me where where we assign Checking rule (A - sales order) in availablity check.

dear srikanth
please gothough this
TOR AND AVAILANBILITY CHECK
To confirm the quantities for a particular line item in the sales order on particular day system carried out transfer of requirements (TOR) & AVAILABILITY check, so has to confirm the quantity on particular day as system should know what are there requirement of the sale order and delivery with MRP then system carries out availability check function, to confirm the quantity on particular day. Depending upon the IMG setting system carries out availability check function based on 3 methods:
A) Availability Check with ATP logic or against planning:
In ATP logic systems ATP Qty while carrying out availability check function for
Particular line item (ATP qty=warehouse stock +planned receipts planned issues)
Planned Receipts: EX: - purchase requisitions, purchase orders, stock in transfer stock at inspection etc.
Planned Issues: - EX: - open sales order & open delivers
B) Availability check against product allocation:
Availability check can be carried out against product allocations in which system automatically restrict the user to confirm the quantity beyond reserved quantities per particular customer. EX:- Availability qty =100, existing orders=10,then system automatically distributes to items evenly to the sales order.
C) Rule based Availability check:
Rule based availability check can be carried out based on the business transaction.
EX: - For normal sales order system has to carry out availability check for special sales order ex: - cash sales and rush order systems need not to be carry out availability check,
In rule based availability check system in which system carried out Global availability to promise in all plants. In this check system transfers the requirements to APO system where GATP takes place and the result of the availability check transferred to R/3 system. This process takes place with the transaction code CIF(central inter face) inR/3.After carrying out availability check function system proposes(by using ATP logic) default values of ATP check result to the user in a dialog box, in which system gives the choice to the user to take the decision in contest of insufficient stock.
a) One time delivery:
If the user chooses one time delivery and the order Quantity is 100 units system confirms 50 units then systems automatically confirms as a zero. If the user saves the document with the zero confirm qty then system   trace the sales order as aback order (V_RA), which can be confirmed later by RESCHEDULLING (V_V2).
b) Complete Delivery:
If order Qty=100, Availability stock = 50, system says that remaining can be given after one week. Then if the user selects this option then system push up existing confirmed qty to after one week and the total qty can be confirmed after one week only.
c) Delivery Proposal:
If order qty=100, system confirms 50, and remaining 50 can be confirmed after one week. If the user chooses this option then system confirms 50 Qty today allows the user to delivery 50 quantities today remaining 50 can be delivered after one week.
CONFIGURATION SETTINGS FOR TOR:
Define Requirement Class:
Path: Img  S&D  Basic functions  Availability Check & Transfer of requirements  Transfer of requirements    Define Requirement classes
Requirement classes control MRP, Requirement consumption, strategy, relevance for planned. It specifics whether the availability check & TOR to be Called out for transactions. Ex: Sales Order
It determines whether requirements relevant for MRP or not, the allocation indicator from the sales view which controls the settlement of customers requirements with planned independent requirements. It determines the item b to be settled as an availability heck. Assignment, the settlement profiles the results analysis key. The TOR and Availability check functions are globally controlled using the requirement class for all the Sales documents. The values from the Requirements class are transferred to scheduled the of the sales documents class are transferred to scheduled the of the sales document default values and can be over written there.
Define Requirements Classes:
Requirement class defines whether the system has to carry out availability check based on the STP Qty. Ex:
Define Requirement Types:
Here we define requirement type, Ex: and Assign to Requirement class that we defined in the promote step.
Determination of Requirement types using Transaction:
Requirement type is going to be determined for sales document by following a search strategy. .
First System checks strategy group in MRP3 view if it trend requirement type then system takes from it, otherwise.
It will go to MRP group in MRP1 view, otherwise
It will check to Material type, otherwise
It will go to item Category + MRP type, otherwise
It will go to Item category only, otherwise
Finally system determines the transaction b not relevant for TOR & Availability check.
Choose Item category TAN+MRP type PD=Requirement type =0
Define Procedure for each schedule the category:
Here we define respective schedule the category of the sales documents, whether an availability check and TOR should be carried out. This setting is relevant for sales documents only. It is fine tuning of availability check for sales documents TOR & Availability check function    can be activated at sales order level those are proposed in to schedule line category level. If u wants to deactivate TOR availability check function at schedule the category level and want to deactivate at requirement class level it b impossible.
Ex: If u wants to check availability w/o transferring the requirement we can use it.
Choose schedule line category CP & Activate Availability check, requirement & Product Allocation
Block Quantity confirmation in delivery Blocks:-
When we transfer requirements to MRP then confirmed quantities is also reserved for confirmed sales documents, if transaction is blocked for delivery the reserved quantities are also blocked so that the conformed quantities cannot be used by any other purpose. So has to avoid this situation we can block the transfer of requirements(TOR) for delivery blocks, in this case requirements transferred to MRP but will not be reserved, that will be cleared once we save the documents then system shows confirmed qty as zero.
When we remove the delivery block then system automatically carries out availability check & confirms the qty.
A) Deliveries: Blocking region for sales Area:
     Here we define blocking regions for TOR ex:-credit limits
B) Reasons for scope of delivery blocks: TOR. Block:
Ex: - 01 credit limits-check confirmation block.
Maintain Requirements for TOR:-
Here we can define our own requirement with the help of ABAPer for TOR
Ex: - a) 102- prevent reservation in the event of credit block
       b) 102-purchase requisitions.
System doesnt create purchase requisitions for sales order line items if it has a credit limit.
Availability check:
Configuration setting:-
Availability check with ATP logic or against planning:-
A) Define checking group:
Checking group defines what kind of requirement record system use to create when sales order & deliveries are processed for this material. We can create 2 kinds of requirements records
Individual requirement records: that means system creates requirement record for each S&D document.
Summarized requirement Records: That means system creates requirement records under certain condition in the material master record. There are 2 type of summarized requirement record:
Summarized requirement records for each day.
Summarized requirement records for each week
Define checking Action;
Here we define     01- daily requirement      -B                                        02- Individual requirements -A
Where      B-total record per day
     A-single record per day
B) Define material Block for other users:
When 2 users tries to confirm the quantities for the sales order for same material at a time system will be confused to confirm the quantities both sales orders. So has to avoid this kind of situation we can block the materials from confirming the quantities for 2 users at a check, check block
C) Define checking group default values:
Checking group is going to be determined depending upon the material type & plant.
-Go to new entries, specify material type, ex;-FERT
& plant = checking group of availability check: 02
D) Carry out for Availability check:
Here we define checking rule for the Availability check & allocate them to the checking group. The checking rules specify the scope of the availability check. For a respective transaction, means which planned receipts & planned issues systems has to taken into consideration and also it determines whether system has to take RLT into consideration.
*Select checking group of availability check-02, checking rule=01
*Go to details icon, & check which planned receipts & planned issues system has taken into consideration for availability check
*save it, exit.
E) Define procedure by Requirement class:
Here we define requirement class whether on availability check & TOR should be carried out the setting that we carries out at requirement class level they are at global level. There settings automatically copied into define from of requirement class and vice versa.
*Choose requirement class: 041 & check availability check & TOR (requirement)
F) Define procedure for each schedule line category:
Here we carry out fine tuning setting for availability check at schedule line category level. Here we define whether system has to carry out Availability check for particular transaction.
Ex: - if we want to implement availability check w/o TOR for a particular transaction. According to settings at requirement class level TOR & availability check function activate & those setting will be copied into the schedule time category by default, so that at schedule line category level we deactivated TOR
G) Determine procedure for each Delivery Item category:
Here we switch on or switch off availability check functions of a delivery item category
*choose item category TAN. & specify the appropriate value.
H) Checking group for updating back orders:
Here we assign checking group to a plant that rule specifies for individual application, according to which the availability check is carried out;
I) Define Default settings:
Here we define the result of the availability check.
*Choose your sales Area, & check fixed dates& Qty options & specify D or E
Where: D- Dialog box in the case of shortages (one time delivery)
E- Dialog box in the shortages (delivery proposal).

Assignment of Equipment as PRT - Availablity Check.

Dear All,
Could any of you all please let me know whether the availablity check would work if the Equipment as PRT as been assigned to the activity in CN22. If there is any setting that has to be made other than the availiblity check which is in Material node and explained as below, then request your valuable input.
Material --> Availability Check --> Define Checking Control
With respect to Plant and Order Type
Under PRT availabilty
No Check is not enabled (Not ticked)
Checking Rule is assigned as 2 (Status Check and Inventory Audit)
Collect. conversion assigned as 3 (No creation if PRT is missing)
Or if any would be able to give the actual steps to be followed up in the easy access also it would be helpful.

Hi Charles,
Even if we maintain the Test equipment Material or Equipment we can do the same .
What are other factors that will lead us to maintain the same as PRT , Material or Equipment ?

Availablity check at storage location level in STO

Hi,
There is an unique requirement from my client with respect to the Availability check at storage location level in STO
Process:
Based on the inputs from APO we are creating STR for moving the material from one plant to another plant. These STR’s will be converted into STO through ME59N batch job. During STO creation process system will do the availability check and only if stock is available in the issuing plant then only STO will be generated.
During this availability check the stock will be considered at plant level and not at storage location level.
Requirement/Scenario:
Issuing plant contains two storage location ( location A & B).FG stock exists in both the locations.
Our requirement is system should create separate line items in the STO based on the availability of the stock in the respective storage locations.
Example
Total required qty: 1000 of material X
material X - Stock in Storage location A : 600
material X - Stock in Storage location B : 400
Two separate line item needs to be created in the STO
Sl no
Material
qty
Issuing storage location
1
X
600
A
2
X
400
B
Is there any function module available for doing Availability check at storage location level so that it can be called in ME59N with the enhancement.
Please suggest how to achieve this. If any enhancements needs to be done we will do it.
Thanks & regards,
Prashanth

Hi Nilesh,
in SAP standard the system is always checking on plant level first and then on the storage location level, there is no possibility to change this behaviour.
I'm also not sure if the process is correct, because if you have also requirements on plant level only then you would create negative ATP if you confirm on storage location level even though there is no ATP on plant level.
I'm also not aware of a user-exit that would suite your requirement, additionally according to the IMG documentation the user-exits in the availability check area should only be carried out in agreement with SAP.

Markus

Availablity Check with Third Party Orders

We have inventory on hand (from returns- customers refused order or canceled order at the last minute) and would like to do a check on inventory before the purchase req is created. Is there any automated way of doing this? I know that I could change the item cat on the material master, but this is difficult because there are many third party products that we sell. Any insight will be greatly appreciated.

Hi,
first u maintain item category determination for both TAN,TAS.during sales order creation if system does not confirm the required quantity after carrying out availability check then u change the item category to TAS system automatically creates purchase requisition, any how we have to change the item category in the sales order when ur treateing a material as both normal item and some times third party item.

Availablity Check which includes Block Stock

Hi All,
I do have a problem with Availability Check.
For a material the Goods Reciept is made directly into Blocked Stock. Due to this the MRP is not considering the availability of the stock and creating the new PO for the old reqirement.
I want to know how we can configure the Availability Check so that it can consider the block stock into consideration during MRP run.
Thanks for the help in advance

hi,
To avoid the situation, you need to move the stock to unrestricted use...
Its correct, if we think logically then if there is req. for the material...then you can never use the block stock for the production etc...so, when the MRP runs, it doesnot consider the block stock...
Pls trasfer it to the unrestricted use stock..and then run MRP...
Hope it helps...

Availablity check in sales order considering the Raw material stock/procurement

Hi Gurus,
Our client 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

You can try with user exits intended for ATP as recommended in the following note based on material type:-
Note 1644443 - Documentation on User-Exits in the area of the availability
That is as and when ATP runs for a sale order, with any of the exits listed out in the above note, you can validate for the material type which would be different for components and accordingly, write a coding in such a way not to consider such of those components. But ensure that the user-exits are critical and should be tested carefully as cautioned in the note.
