GATP - Allocation with Availability Check
Friends,
Need help setting up the below scenario in GATP :
Product Allocation for Product A is 100 per day and allocated only in single bucket (rest of the buckets zero qty). Order comes in for 150 qty. If I check allocation first then only 100 will be confirmed as there are no more allocations i future/past buckets. So, the rest of the qty should be confirmed after 10 days (assuming that the RLT is 10 days).
So, to set up this scenario in check instructions, I would let allocation be first step and product availability next step and in check control I have confirmation at end of checking horizon. But I am not getting the expected result. Please help me!!!!
Thanks
Sapper
Sapper,
Many companies set up their businesses such that the original order entry results in an unconfirmed order. Allocation IN PARTICULAR is designed to exclude certain customers from receiving any confirmation at all.
So, let us look at your requirement. It seems that you have an allocation, based on some business rules (customers? region? market segment?). Allocation is designed for situations where marketplace demand exceeds supply, and you wish to limit sales order confirmation to some predefined quantities. The normal reason is to stop certain customers from buying all of your product, but instead divide your output up such that a previously defined grouping of customers can each get their fair share.
Now you say, "if the customer has an allocation and I have stock, I want to confirm against the stock. If the customer does not have allocation, then I want the order to confirm to some fixed date in the future." Please confirm if this is your requirement.
Allocation is not designed for this purpose. I have low confidence that it can be tortured into meeting this requirement. if you are unwilling to create an allocation for this customer at lead time to cover his excess requirements.
I don't really know all of your requirements, but I believe one solution that may work is to use SD Scheduling agreements. (you don't need APO for this, BTW) . You enter a scheduling agreement according to the amount you wish to build for this customer. You build product according to the customer's SA, and ship accordingly. If he attempts to overbuy, then his order is treated the same way you treat any other order that has inadequate supply, typically confirms to lead time.

Problem with availability check due to credit block
Dear Experts,
I am facing a problem with availability check for a sales order which is blocked against credit check
Like, i have a open sales order with mulitiple line items around 10 line items, out of which all the 10 line items have unrestricted stock and got confirmed when availability check has been performed , but we could able to proceed through delivery and billing only for 9 line items. Hence there is 1 line item in the sales order which didn't get delivered. But when we tried to do the availability check the system is confirming the quantity with credit block. But after the sales order has been released thru VKM3 from credit block again the schedule lines are showing confirmed quantiy as "0" .
Credit message observed : " Credit check (maximum percentage for open exceeded)".
An earlier response would be of greater help extension to me , and i shall be greatly obliged to you all.
Thanks & Regards
Krishna.kHi,
once confirm actual stock is there for that line item if yes then may b stock blocked by Credit block.Release the stock reserved by credit blocked sales order through back order processing.
Tcode: V_RA
Select sale order want to change the confirmed qty. SAVE.
and again come to VA02 and run availablity chek.

Creation of Sale Order for configurable material with availability check.
Hi,
We have a scenario in which the material is configurable. The configurable material (X) has few variants (Ex: X1, X2, X3, X4, X5). While booking the sale order, we use the material number (X).
Further, the material planning is done for the variants X1, X2, X3, X4, X5. The standard variants are planned for production in advance.
1. While booking the sale order, we want the availability check of the stock (type matching to happen). What needs to be done in configuration?
2. While booking the sale order, there is a possibility that the configuration selected will not match with any of the standard variants due to some additional requirements of the optional features, in such cases how to link the standard variants to the sale order & create requirement for additional requirements.
Regards,
UmeshHi Umesh,
1.Create material master for configurable material and variants in mm01.
2.Maintain BOM for the configurable material in CS01
3. Configur the variant configuration steps
a. Create charecteristics T.code CT04
b. Create values and assign classes
c. assign the values to charecteristics
d . Maitain dependence T.code CU01
e.create configuration profile t.code CU41
f.stimulate the configuration profile.
4. Do the availability check configuration through this path
IMG --> Sales and distribution > Basic functions ,> Availabilty check and Transfer of requirements.
5. Maintain the Availbility check field and MRP views in the material masters other wise you sit with PP people and do that
I hope it will help you

Sales orders with availability check?
Is there any transaction code to generate list of sales order /open orders with respect to availability check ( with the combination of organizational data)?. will anyone share your expertise pl.
Have you tried with VA05 where you can see tabs like
- Open Order quantity (quantity not yet despatched),
- Confirmed Quantity
- Status of the order (Partially delivered, Being processed etc)
thanks

Hi,
We are creating delivery for stock transfer order using customised transactions via ATP check. During ATP check, the system is indeed creating outbound delivery, but with zero quantity.
I checked the stock in MMBE, it is showing stock. Also in MB5B, the stock was available on posting date. Why the system, then created outbound delivery with zero quantity.
Can anyone please suggest?
Thanks in Advance,
NishaHi Nisha,
Check the following
IMG>>MM>>Purchasing>>PO>>Setup STO>>Define Checking Rule and select the one you are using (Use avail check 02 with checking rule 01)
Next in Assign Delivery type and checking rule check for proper assignmnets for..
Doc Type-Supply Plant-Del Type-Chk rule-check box ticked for Shipment scheduling
Your delivery type should be NL for Intra company STO and NLCC for cross company STO.
Make the ATP check in the STO PO and confirm things working.
Chk n revert

Problem with availability check
I'd be interested in FiOS but when I do an availability check, it says it's found multiple addresses that match what I entered, but none of them are mine! I've tried various ways of entering my address but always get the same result. Anyone else experiencing this? What can I do?
Too less information.
Search notes for "AVAILABILITY_CHECK", sort them by date and check if any notes apply to you. If you can´t find anything open an OSS call. ATP check can be configured in MANY ways.

GATP - Rule based availability check
Hi:
What is the meaning of having more than one condition type in the case of GATP RBA? In the context of pricing, it is understandabale because the price is additive from one condition type to the next. But in the case of GATP where we are interested in satisfying the full quantity on-time, how does it play a role? Thanks.
SatishHi Satish,
Having more than one condition type in RBATP enables the system to find multiple rules. You can do the ATP check taking one rule at a time till all the requirements are confirmed/backordered.
In pricing, there is the added functionality to do calculation on the values found from the many condition records. In RBATP such calculations are not warranted. Here we are interested in finding rules which in turn contain the location determination procedure, which further contain the plants in a specified order.
For example in pricing 'Price' and 'Tax' can be the condition types. Values are derived from the pricing condition records and calculations can be done on those values in the pricing procedure of the document. Similary in RBATP 'Fulfillment' and 'Backorder' can be the two condtion types. Based on the two condition types the sales order can derive two rules. These two rules can have different plants in their search parth. You can say that for fulfillement always look at Plant A, then at Plant B. If the parts are not available at these two plants, sales order will go to the backorder condititon type and find another rule, this time the backorder rule and you can have plant C here.
If this leads to another question please do not hesitate to ask.
Thanks and regards

Availability check with reservation transfer
Dear all
I have a problem with availability check.
Reservation transfer, generated from processing MRP (from MRP area Z002 to MRP Area Z001).
Availability check doesn't consider reservation transfers generated from processing MRP.
if fixed the requirement, simply by saving for example, the availability check works. Of course, if I create it manually (MB21) works.
This behavior is normal?
many thanks!Dear all

Sales Order - Availability check for components
Hi All,
I have 2 parts to my qns.
1. When a sales order is created for a component, with a req date, the system checks & informs if the mtl can be provided on the req date & if not proposes a new date - May i know which checking rule is used & also what all does the system check for?
2. A component say 'ABC' is used internally for production purpose & also sold as a spare part. A sales order for this component is created with a req dt. say 1.3.2008. The system commits the stock to the sales order. A production order is created later with a req. dt for 'ABC' say 1.2.2008. So when i carry out a collective availability check for the plant with ATP checking rule & with availability check reset indicator ticked, i believe the system should reset the commitments made to the sales order & assign the stock to the production order, but it is not happening so. Once the commitment is made to the sales order, it is not resetting, how can i change this behaviour?
Await inputs.
Anyone to help on this?
Edited by: Vivek on Jan 15, 2008 10:56 AMAs we know, availability check is controlled by the combination of checking rule and the checking grp.
U can see this at OVZ9 Screen. checking grp is proposed from material master Sales org 2 view or MRP2 views.
In the OVZ9 screen itself, we are setting what are all the stocks the system has to include when doing availability check.
The checking rule specifies the scope of the availability check for the respective transactions in sales and distribution by specifying precisely which stocks, receipt and issue elements should be taken into account during the availability check.
Every checking rule is allocated to a checking group: together these two elements determine the final inspection requirements. In addition, the checking rule includes a specification whether or not an availability check should take into account the replenishment lead time.
Currently, the checking rule is predefined in SD.
while answering to the second question, i think the system carries out the availability check again at the time of delivery, provided u need to maintain the availabililty check indicator at req. class level.
Hope i answers.

How is availability check done.
Hi All,
Please help me to resolve the below . The First Date is 23.04.2010. how is availability check done???? pleae dont give me the lecture notes . instead provide me more approx dates for the below.
In SO 5000008282 I need delivery dates as follows:-
Item 10
2UCP070686 x2 23.07.2010
2UCP070686 x5 09.07.2010 (SAP only allows 23.07.2010 at earliest)
Item 20
2ucp070688 x4 23.07.2010 (SAP only allows 26.07.2010 at earliest)
Item 30
2UCP070686 x1 06.08.2010 (This is OK in SAP)
Can you please look at the SO and MO setup and advise where our problem
is.See, the system first prepares schedule line containing the information on the desired delivery date and quantities this information is passed to MRP and an availability 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 warehouse stock+incoming orders-outgoing orders
Along with Availability check the requirements are transferred to MRP.
the configuration involves following
1. switching on at schedule line category the availability check and TOR
2. configure the availability check using ATP and using the checking group and Checking rule
Also, check Replenishment lead time (RLT)
It 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 MRP2 (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.
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.
There are three types of availability checks u2013
Check on basis of ATP quantities.
Check against product allocation.
Check against planning.
Hope this can assist you.
Thanks & Regards

Dear All
We have a requirement that if a material say stock is 10 in unrestricted then we create a STO for 10 units then in MMBE say in a plant 1000 still unrestricted will be 10 but in that details there will be 10 units STCK TRPSTORDER REL (under this heading) 10 units is appearing
STO happening from plant 1000 to plant 1001
When an incoming sales order comes for that same material in the same plant then system allocates these 10 units to that order which we dont want to happen in the plant 1000
But when we initially make a sales order instead of STO if the unrestriced is 10 then it shows in sales order stocks (under this heading) 10 units is appearing in the plant 1000
When an incoming sales order comes then system does not allocate these 10 units to that order and says no stock which is our requirement
*In Simple stocks are getting reserved for open sales orders but not for open STOs with availability check in a plant*
This we want it for STO after creating PO itself
Note if the delivery is generated for STO then system says no stock for the incoming order which is fine
In OVZ9
1.include sales requirements is ticked
2. include rel ordd requirements (for STO is consideration is marked as X)
3.Include stock in transfer is ticked
Friends Expecting your valuable comments and suggestions
Stocks should be reserved for STO how do i control this in OVZ9?
Hope i am clear about my Requirement Any clarifications needed?
Regards
RajaDear Lakshmipathi
Thanks for the reply But that doesnt solve.Already checked there
But we have to control SD settings only in OVZ9 as the requirement is to check availability for sales order creation only
Scenario 1
In MMBE Plant is 1000 Material is A unrestricted stock is 10
We create a sales order no 1 for material A for 10 units in this plant and saved
Now in MMBE unrestricted also 10 in that details Sales reqirements also 10
When we create a next sales order no 2 system tells no stock and gives confirmed qty as zero which is fine (in OVZ9 include sales requiremts is ticked and hence system reserves stocks for order no 1 and says 0 stocks for order no 2)
Scenario 2
Plant is 1000 Material is A unrestricted stock is 10
We create a STO for material A for 10 units from this plant 1000 to be sent to another plant 1001
STO created and saved
Now in MMBE unrestricted also 10 in that details Stock trnasport resevation also 10
So as of now the stocks are reserved for that STO
Now if an incoming sales order if comes system allocates these stocks to that sales order which we dont want to happen
In Simple stocks are getting reserved for open sales orders but not for open STOs with availability check in a plant
In OVZ9 in the inward and outward movements tab there is a control box called incl.rel.order.reqs which is set to X and the F1 explanation tells that it will take to STO also into consideration
But actually it is not happening
Include sales requirements is working but not this one
Has anyone undergone this scenario ?

Availability check on storages in sales order and delivery documents
Hi all,
I'm verifying if it's possible to find a standard or a custom solution for this type of problem:
I have a scenario in which there are more storages relevant for MRP (ex. 01, 02, 03, 04), and, in if I check availability in sales order or delivery (using checking rules "A" or "B") with setting which considering storages location inspection in availability check control, system check if there's stock available on all these storages.
I'm trying to verify if it's possible to consider only some on these storages (ex. 01 and 03 only) in sales order and delivery documents availablity check.
I know that in sales order storage location field is normally filled only using exit, but i don't know if it's possible to do, using a user exit, check availability considering only some storages and not all. At delivery level i have tried to use stock strategy, but this functionality don't have consequences on availability check, also if it's relevant during good issue phase.
Any suggestion will be appreciated.
Regards
GianpaoloHi Gianpaolo,
We had some issues with availability check on a Customer Site.
I don't remember right now if we had to exclude storage locations from MRP to take them out from ATP, but I guess Shiva is 100% correct.
At the end, what was done was to always "force" a unique storage location in the sales order item, which will be the storage location used for shipping of the delivery of course.
If you use WM in your plant, then you will have no problem in having a unique storage location, so no problem.
Anyway you are correct in your analysis, if the Storage location is not informed in the sales order item, then all the plant stock is taken in account for ATP.
Best Regards,
Franck

Hi
I have a material X with availability check as 02. its having 20 ea in stock.
two sales orders came in with order quantity as 15 and 10.
sales order 1 with quantity 15
sales order 2 with quantity 10.
the system is letting me to process sales 1 order 15 with out any issues.
but if i want to process sales order 2 before sales order 1 its not letting me to. and it gives me a error message saying material is not available.
looks like system is making hard reservation on stock when sales order comes in. I know this is the standard process. and i have to do back order processing if I want to process the sales order 2 before sales order 1.
Is there any changes that I can do in availablity check. so that the syustem will not make any hard reservationson stock.
and i can process any sales order i want if the stock is available.
I dont want to make availability check as KP.Hi
This is because in t code OVZ9 include sales requirements is ticked for the combination of checking group 02 of( yours) and checking rule A that is why system is reserving stocks for order no 1 and the balance only it is allowing for order no 2
Remove the tick include sales requirements that will fulfill your requirement
But The risk is at order level iirrespective of stocks available qty can get confirmed

Budget by periods and availability check (AVC)?
HI ,
Can we have Budget by periods and with availability check (AVC)?
for ex: for
WBS element 1 for January -1000 USD for Feb 5000 USD. And so on...Total yearly budget is 15000USD.
And
WBS element2: January -1500 USD, Feb 2500 USD and so on ...total yearly budget is 25000USD.
If the budget Exceeds for the particular WBS element for the particular period then it should give message (error/warning/).
Can we implement this in Project system?
Thanks for your timeTo give budget by period (Month ) is not possible in PS. Budget is annual / overall in PS. you requirement can be achieved by monthly you provide budget to WBS in the form of supplement.
This way indirectly you can achieve the same.
Please refer this post.

Repetitive Manufacturing - Availability Check
Hi,
I have some problems with availability check. I have defined "Planning with final assembly" as Strategy Group in the material. When I create an order there is always Availability although there is no stock and no planned orders. In addition to this, the quantity is always confirmed.
Can somebody tell me how can I give availability and confirm quantity just if there is stock or if there are planned orders?
Thank you!!Hi there,
make corosponding settings in availability check (shop floor control-master data-operations)and create a new checking rule create scope of check of Individual req. in that select what ever stock in inward out ward movement you want to consider.
this you can also do in MRP-PROCUREMEN PROPOSAL-PLANNED ORDR-DEFINE AVAILABILITY CHECK.
i hope this will help you
