Delivery not created in make to order cycle

Question

Hi
i am in the make to order process scenario and facing problems while creating a delivery after production order has been confirmed. The steps followed are
1. i create an order with M1 and quantity 100 - T code : VA01
2. i create a sales order BOM for the sales order created above and using material M1 - T cose : CS 61
3. This is followed by a production cycle - planned order, production order and confirmation with lot size of 7.
4. as one production order of size 7 is confirmed, the stock is generated of quantity 7 for the material M1. using MMBE i can see the stock being created.
5. Now as i go and try and create the delivery against order created in step 1,  i get the error and that "No schedule lines due for delivery up to the selected date".
6. When i check my order in display mode, under schedule line it shows M1 with order quantity as 100 and confirmed quantity as 0.
Could you please advise if after the confirmation of production order, the schedule line in order will show quantity 7 and if i can delivery against it. Or is there any other way of creating the delivery.
Thanks

Hello,
In MTO scenario the following happens:
1. Sales Order is created - standard requirements type determined is KE which fetches requirements class 040. The requirements class 040 has controls for MTO & special stock indicator will have entry as "E-orders on hand".
2. After MRP is run the system will transfer the requirements to PP, a planned order will be created which is then converted into a production order.
3. After running the production cycle the goods will be transferred to the finished goods storage location.
4. Now when you check in the transaction code MMBE the system will show the material stock & under the sales order stock only.
5. But when you check the sales order -- line item schedule line, the system displays the confrimed quantity as "zero".
Explanation:
You created sales order for item A - 100 Quantities. Production was completed for 20 quantities. System shows sales order stock of 20 quantities only.
When you had created a sales order for item A the system after running the availability check would have determined a delivery date by way of which it would have shown you say 2 different schedule lines as under
Delivery Date.............Order qty............Rounded Qty...........Confirmed Qty
01/05/2009...................100......................100............................0
15/05/2009.....................0.........................0.............................100
The second date the system determines taking into consideration the inhouse manufacturing time specified by you in the material master (MRP2 screen) & the other settings which aare applicable for the checking group specified in the material master.
On 15/05/2009, if you create a delivery, the system will allow you to create the delivery irrespective of the stock in the plant. But at the time of post goods issue you will face a quantity deficit error.
If the goods are received in the finished goods storage location before 15/05/2009 say on 10/05/2009, the system will not update the schedule line automatically & when you try to create a delivery the system will display the error "no schedule lines due for delivery".
Solution:
Transaction code VA02 - select the sales order number - double click on the line item - go to schedule lines - here click on the button "Item Availability" or press "Ctrl + F5" to run the availability check. As you have stock of  7 quantity, the system will display 7 quantity on the curretn date. Select the option delivery proposal to continue. Now the system will show 2 schedule lines as under
Delivery Date.............Order qty............Rounded Qty...........Confirmed Qty
01/05/2009...................100......................100............................0
10/05/2009.....................0.........................0..............................7
Save the sales order & then create a delivery. The system will not give any error.
Note: You have to manually confirm the quantities for a make to stock sales order in case if the goods are received before the delivery date specified by the system.
