Availibilty Check

I tried to get actual material-availibilty by using FB BAPI_SALESORDER_SIMULATE. Unfortunately it confirms either zero (if not available) or the requested quantity (if available). How do I get the actual quantity available???
Thanks for response. Berthold.

Hi,
Try to use fm
BAPI-MATERIAL_AVAILABILITY or
AVAILABILITY_CHECK
But i find there is an issue
The problem with BAPI_MATERIAL_AVAILABILITY is that it doesn't handle the total req.qty flag that is available in CO09. Have a look at OSS note 179947... maybe it will help

Switch off availibilty check in transaction COHV

Hi All,
I want to Switch off availibilty check in transaction COHV while converting planned order tp production order.
Can any one know procedure?
Thanks,

Hi,
Yes you can block availability control checking from OPJK tcode.
In OPJK you will find 2 business function one is availability check in creation time and second one is for release time..
Select go to detail in material availability tab there are option u can activate and deactivate availability control

ATO availibilty check

Hi,
How does the ATP check work in the assemble to order via process order work ? I mean in a regiular sales order u have the ATP check A or AE running depending upon the requirement class (if it is MTO or MTS). However in an ATO scenario where the process order is automatically created via the sales order, which ATP runs ? Is it the A/AE one at sales order level or is it the PP checking rule running at process order creation and release level ? Also in the requirement class for ATO whihc is KMFA there is a checkbox for component availibilty. What purpose does it serve ? If I deselect it which means there should be no ATP running for components there is ATP running in the process order and I get a missing parts list. Why is the system doing this ? Dosent that indicator switch on/off the component availibilty ?
Thanks

dears
i want to know wether it is possible in sap to check material availibilty while connverting planned order to production order
if tis possible what are the setting required
pls help by giving any soloution
regards
Faisal

Dear ,
Please find below the set up required for material availability chek while creation of planned order to production order :
Goto SAP T.code OPJK, check whether wether you have maintained Material Availability Check 1 and 2 based on the following information for your order Type and Plant combination :
1.Order Control -Order Type -Availabilty Check -1 -Mark Check Material Availablity when saving order , Check Compononet availabitiy -ATP check , Chekcing Rule -PP
2.1.Order Control -Order Type -Availabilty Check -2 -Mark Check Material Availablity when saving order , Check Compononet availabitiy -ATP check , Chekcing Rule -PP ,Mark Status Check , Release Material -1-User decide on relasing material .
Try to check this above set and carry out conversion from MD04 or CO24 .Make sure that you have mark the indicator Material vaialbilty chek while saving production order .
Try and check

Availibilty check during sales order creation and its relation to PP

Hi all,
A critical scenario I am stuck in. My client has 3 plants viz. 1000, 1100, 1200. Plant 1000 gets sales orders from different customers and production happens on plants 1100 and 1200 through special procurement key. Customer A and customer B are very important for plant 1000. For customer A client allocates 25 tonnes per week and for customer B, 15tonnes/ week. The amount agreed can be changed at any time with the customer. The purpose of this allocation is to reserve capacity for these customers in order to provide short lead time.
Capacity of plant 1100 is 200 tonnes per week( I am not sure where to define). If for last 3 weeks, capacity booked in plant 1100 is 190 tonnes including 15 tonnes of Customer A and 15 tonnes of Customer B , then plant 1100 can take orders for 10 tonnes more.When a person creates a sales order in plant 1000, it should show that plant 1100 has capacity available only for customer A and for other customers it should show later date for delivery.client wants to set a forecast demand of 25 tons/week for customer A and 15 tons/week for Customer B. As client receive specific orders from customer A or B, this should reduce the forecast tonnage accordingly.
How to map this?? kindly guide.
Regards.

ME,
The question is a bit vague, so I will give a correspondingly vague answer.
First, let me say that there is no ATP in ERP that directly confirms sales orders based on capacity availability. However, you may not need this.
production happens on plants 1100 and 1200 through special procurement key
SPK only points to one plant. So, for a given material or a given BOM, the source is one plant. MRP will always plan for one source, regardless of preexisting capacity consumption.
The purpose of this allocation is to reserve capacity for these customers in order to provide short lead time.
You have left off the more important concept: What happens to the remaining capacity? This is what you need to limit.
So, lets look at the parts where the SPK points to 1100 as a source. You need to ensure that A gets 25 MAX, B gets 15 MAX, and 'everyone else' gets 160 MAX (200 - 25 - 15). This can be achieved using product allocation.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp60_sp/helpdata/en/93/744d05546011d1a7020000e829fd11/frameset.htm
In the case where 'Everyone else' gets an unfavorable lead time (or an unconfirmable order) you can manually shift the production for those orders to plant 1200, provided capacity is available.
client wants to set a forecast demand of 25 tons/week for customer A and 15 tons/week for Customer B. As client receive specific orders from customer A or B, this should reduce the forecast tonnage accordingly.
Forecasting is OK, but a separate topic. He can forecast and build any way he wants, and the forecast will be consumed according to whatever strategy he has selected. However, it won't be relevant to ATP. The only ATPs that use forecasting are against Planned independent requirements, which are not customer specific.

STO - Availibilty check - error/warning message 06450

Hi,
Currently on STO Purchase Order when there is insuffient stock on making a Stock transfer between branches, we get a system warning message no, 06450 '.. of material XXXX, only 15EA are available on desired date' but the user is still able to contune
Is it possible to make this message an error message and prevent the user accepting that quantity?
I've looked in config but can't see anything obvious

Hi Lloyd Bower,
Goto SPRO > Material management > Purchasing > Environment data > Define attributes of system messages > system messages here you goto message 450 and change it to Error.

Material availability check be switched off for during dispatching of order

Hi All,
Material availability u2013 can the material availability check be switched off during dispatching of production order but kept when order is created?
Is there any implications on availibilty check.
How can we do this?
Regards,
Vidyasagar

Dear
If you want to do Material Availablity Check only at the time of order creation , please choose Availability Check Business Function 1 with your order type /plant combination .Keep No Check in Capacity and do not assing the Overall Capacity Profile Here .
Where as keep the Capacity Overall Profile for Production Order Type with Availablity Check -2 and Mark No Check to material availablity option in the same .
In OPKP -make sure that you have Capacity Profile assinged and do not mark Confirm Partial Available Qty .
How ever , in capacity requirement , material availablity is the intregrated part and while dispathcing production order with in the available capacity of any operation in work centre , system tries to make sure the materials are available for processing just before actual operation starts .
Check in CM21-Setting-Strategy -Dispatch Control -Check if you have option to un-check the Material Availability .

How delivery quantity of STO affected by avalilability check defined in SD?

Hi all,
Under SPRO purchasing, setup STO, I setup document type and shipping point to use delivery type NL and checking rule of availability check as "RP".
I thought the checking group "02" in material master and checking rule "RP" here will define availibility check when create delivery for STO with VL10B.
Apparently, the other checking rule "B" was actually used, since the changes to the "avalability checking control" "02+B" took effect. I have safety stock of quantity 5, changing the availibilty check "02+B" to "include safety stock", I got 5 more available. Changes to "02+RP" has no effect at all.
There must be another place where "B" was defined, which overwritten the setup in SPRO purchasing, setup STO.
So where the setup could be?
Thanks!
Regards
Simon

Thank you Jürgen!
This notes is about how to use the availible quantities at different time though.
The problem I am having now, it the at the same place of SPRO:
-->Materials Management -->Purchasing -->Purchase Order -->
Set up Stock Transport Order -->Assign Delivery Type and Checking Rule,
Another field: CRI: Checking rule for availablity check "RP", it was not used, the other rule "B" was actually used, that must have been setup somewhere else, it should be in SD, just couldn't figure where.
In "avalability checking control" "02+RP", I have "Include safety stock" checked off.
In STO, I tried the option "C" in the notes you recommanded, the quantity committed is 13, whichi is correct, I have inventory 13. Also have safety stock 5 in material master, the delivery that was created only has quantity 8.
In "avalability checking control" "02+B", I didn't check off "Include safety stock". to test, after I checked off it, Then I got delivery of quantity 13.
So "B" must be setup somewhere in SD, for the delivery.

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.

Availibility check for sales orders created simultaneously

Hi SD experts,
When a sales order is being created with an item "A", while a second sales order is being created too, at the same time, with the same item "A", the system can't carry out the availibilty check.
It displays the following message : "The material A (plant M500) in item 000010 which you entered for processing is blocked for another transaction. The system is therefore unable to carry out either the availability check or the transfer of requirements."
This is quite logic... But for example for a call center where the operators create orders simultaneously how can we make it possible??
Any suggestions please ?
Thank you,
Bahia.

Hi there,
In SPRO -> SD --> Basic functions --> Availability check & TOR --> Avaliability check --> Avaliability with ATP --> Define material block for other users.
Here you make the settings for different availability check types 02 for individual requirements etc. If you check the field Block, system will block the material for other remaining sales orders if availability check is being carried for one sales order. It is set at plant level. If same material is available at other plants, it will be available there.

Sivanand

Availibility check issue in Production Order

Hi Every one ,
One of the user has issue while operating the production order for Material "A". He gets a pop up , "Error during the availibility check for order . Material A is of Material Type HALB.
On checking the Log , we have description
1. "Maintain availibilty check for the material "X" in material master, (Order AERREB)
2. All checked materials are available (look in log)
The status for the Order is "CLSD PRC RELR SETC"
I wish to add Material "X" is a Material type ZDOC ( configured by company ) . ZDOC are reference materials which are not shipped with products . These materials are not main materials and are not valuated.
When I check the material "X" to study the availibility check in material master. I do not see MRP view.
How do I sort this out . Can anyone kindly suggest a solution? Many thanks in advance .
Kind Regards

Availiility check without RLT

Hi,
the system always confirms stock in sales order when availibility check is with RLT since it assumes it will have stock at the end of RLT
what happnens when availibility check is done without RLT in sales order. does it confirms stock in sales order. if yes then how it confirms.
regards
sachin

Hello, thanks for ur reply to my previous question on Availibility check without RLT. can u pls answer the follwoing.
I have a scenario where i make a sales order for 100 pcs on 23.8.08. the delivery date to customer is 01.09.08 and the material availibity date calculated by system is 28.8.08(01.09.08 less transit time less pick pack time).
when the system does the availibilty check for the material on 23.08.8, it found no stock. yet my system confirms the schedule line for delivery date of 01.09.08.( obviously it is becasue availibility check includes RLT). what is the relevance of the scope of ATP check, i.e. opening stock, incoming purchases and outgoing sales orders. what happens when we check incoming PO and outgoing sales orders in scope of atp check. if my opening stock is 50 pcs and incmoing stock is 60 pcs and outgoing sales order (excluding this one i have used as an example) is 10 pcs, i think 100 pcs of my sales order can be confimred. if this is so, what is the point of having a check with RLT, since the system uses the above incoming PO+outgoing SO for atp check
is there any connection between checking the incoming PO and GR processing time in material master ?
i think the stock which gets confirmed in sales order, the stock is locked for that sales order. and if a new sales order is made, then the availabl qty for this new sales orders gets reduced beaucse there is a check in atp for the outgoing sales orders. ami i right ??
even if the required stock is already available in plant and the the schedule line is confirmed in sales order, do the sales order is being shown in MD04 or the sales order is shown in MD04 only for those quantities which requires production
how the information is transferred to production department that material should be ready by 28.08.08.( material availibity date). what if the production department is not able to produce the material by 28.08.08
when the production manufactures the material, how it is attached to the sales order
what is the point of doing availibity check in deliveries.

ATP-Availability check

Hi gurus,
Please add ur valuable contributions over the ATP check on materials. How and when it is performed, what are the effects of it etc. This could be a learning experience to people like me who have just started a career in SAP.
Thanks & Regards,
Deepak Prasanna S

Hello Deepak,
In the availaibility checking group you can define which stocks (quality stock, safety stock), firmed receipts (production order, purchase order) are need to checked against a requirement (issues like sales orders) as available stock in the net requirement calculation.
suppose you have requirement in the next month and current the stock is nil but at the same time you have incoming receipt (firmed planned order) then during availibilty check MRP will not create one more planned order. (if you have defiend to consider the firmed reciepts into availaibity check).
Manually you can always create receipts for the requiremnts...Manual creation has no influnce of the availibility check.
With the availability check you can also carryout the check for the missing parts and committed quanityt againt the requirement from CO24 and MDVP transactions.
Hope this will help you.

Schedule line in delivery

Hi friends,
I have a scenario where the client has created the sale order say on 22.2.2008 ,but did not get the confirmed quantities on that day.Now assume the quantity receieved is on 22.3.2008 during availibilty check.
Now the client wants to do a delivery and invoice on date 22.2.2008 .
But the error is no schedule lines on the delivery date.
How can we go ahead?Do i have to maintain some schedule line settings or just maintain the delivery date as 22.2.2008 in the sale order??
Thanks in advance

HI Ajay,
Using your example 22.2.2208 is current date.
There is one thing you should find out from the client:
If he/she needs the only delivery document to be created on 22.2.2008
or he needs the delivery made on 22.2.2008.
In former case Goto VL01n and put date as 22.3.2008 the delivery document will still be created for 22.2.2008 but delivery will be done on 22.3.2008
In the later case use MB1C movement type 561 and post stock required for complete delivery and then create delivery with toda's date 22.2.2008 you will be able to create that.
Reward if it helps

Delivery cannot be created (only 0 qty of material available )

Hello All,
I have created a sales order for material A on plant B for one qty. The delivery date is 29.12.10 but the system has confirmed the schedule line with a delivery date of 3.1.11. The material availibilty date is 28.12.10.
But when I create the delivery, the system gives message, "Delivery cannot be created (only 0 qty of material available )".
I have checked MMBE and CO09 , there is a stock of qty 2 for material A for plant B. Also there is no other sales order consuming the stock in CO09 for material A in plant B.
The schedule line catergory is CN(not relevant for MRP) in sales order and that is why I cannot see sales order requirement in Md04/Co09. But in any case since the stock is available, the system confirmed the schedule line for 3.1.11 in sales order as said above.
While creating delivery, we are giving a delivery date of 28.12.10 (equal to material availibity date ). I have not checked the availibilty check group but even if checking group= no check, still I think ,the system will confirm schedule line since stock is available and it has confirmed stock in sales order as said above
But still we cannot create delivery and receives the error, "Delivery cannot be created (only 0 qty of material available )"
Pls help.
regds
Pamela

Hi Pamela,
It seems that material A is not available in plant B on 28.12.2010 even if the stock is shown as 2 qty in MMBE
Please go to MMBE place the cursor on storage location and the check the Warehouse stock for that material.
It may be that material qty 2 which is currently shown in stock overview is lying in interim storage type 916 against some goods movement (601) issued against some other sales order.
Also check whether negative stock are allowed in that storage type. In your case , I think they are not allowed.
I hope this helps
