Material Availability check for Networks and Projects

Hi,
How do I get the material availability for a Network or Project. I am currently using fm IBAPI_ALM_ORDER_ATP_CHECK but the result are not satisfying.
Do let me know if there's another way for it.

The BAPI that I am using .. internally it uses the FM that you have suggested. The issue is that I want to check ATP for a bulk of materials and using this BAPI slows down the execution.

Material Availability Check for material launched in the future

This is the requirement;
We are launching a product in the future. Lets use August 19th as our launch date This means that on August 19th our material can be goods issued. It cannot be shipped before then. There is no loading time etc. so our GI date usually = our material availability date
Our production & procurement activities are executed allowing us to build our stocks so we have on hand stock of the material. We are receiving customer orders. Availability check is run and it is being confirmed for dates before the GI date (As we have stock in the system). For example, a sales order is created with a requested delivery date = 19th August; Would be acceptable if there was no transit time. But what if there is a route determined with a transit time for 2 days. This brings us to a material availability date of 17th August (And therefore a GI date of 17th August) which is before our product launch date. This needs to be avoided; the earliest material availability date must be 19th August as this will then be the earliest GI date.
Therefore, the requirement is that availability is not confirmed for a date before our launch date. But is confirmed for the launch date.
For example, how do Apple launch their products (like iPads)in future dates but entertain customer orders well before the date & then confirm the future dates to end customers? At the time when they receive the orders from end customers, I am sure that they would be holding stock of sufficient iPads for future deliveries.

There may be more than one way you can fulfill the requirement. First is use of user exit. In enhancement ATP00001 (User exits in the availabity check), you can try using EXIT_SAPLATPC_002 (processing results of actual check). Here you can add logic that if the system date is less than Aug 19th 2011, then propse confirm date (material available date) as 19th of August 2011.
The second option would be use of Replishment time (RLT) in the material master MRP3 view. You can maintain certains days to match August 19th (of course you need to reduct one day when the days go-by). At the same time in t.code OVZ9, you need to uncheck the box check without RLT for the combination of availability check rule and availabity check group. After August 19th, you can check the box again after removing the RLT time in material master. My preference is to go with first option.

Availity Check for Customers and materials with useful life

Hello All,
Can anyone help me, about this issue . What i need to do to procedure to check availability for material and customers ?
I have a problem , all material have a expired date ( i work in a drink company) , and for this all products have a date limit for delivery (period of useful product life) , but this date it can be changed for each customer.
We have customer with one moth and another customer with differents (period of useful product life), and a priority for each customer.
Well when i check availability of material i need to have a control of this period of useful product life, in order to assign confirmed quantity for each customer.
Thanks
Sebas

Yes products use batch funcionality and i have a new table for customer / product with useful product life.
For exemple :
Product XXX with 365 days for Total Shelf Life .
Have two customers with differents % of Total Shelf Life, customer AAA 33% and customer BBB 50%.
Result:
Customer AAA for product XXX need 120 days for availity Check
Customer BBB for product XXX need 183 days for availity Check
Where i could introduce search strategy for each customer ?
Do you know user exit i need to change for availity check , in order to introduce my new table.
Thanks a lot, for your help.

Material Availability Check Upon Confirmation

Hello Everyone,
I had a question regarding Material Availability check.
Here My raw material and Semifinished Goods are Backflushed during confirmation. My client wants to check material availability check upon confirmation of production order. System should not allow Confirmation if no stock is available. Is there any way how I can do this?
I know we can perform material availability check upon release and prevent the same, but user does not accept this since change in production order is possible even after release.
Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated.
Sincerely,
Aji Kurian Mani

Hi,
you can configure this in the confirmation parametres --OPK4.In General individual entry tab Error handling/logs tabmake a tick for the Goods movements --Termination for the Incorrect Goods Movts.
Termination of Confirmation if Incorrect Goods Movements Controls if the confirmation is terminated in the event of incorrect goods movements
If these incorrect goods movements are determined by inventory management, then the option of correcting these errors is offered in the error handling
If the correction is not successful, the confirmation is terminated
Thanks,
Rajanikanth

Hi regarding material availability check

hi
can any body let me know how to perform material availability check for a sales order to promise delivery date to customer.
regards
jaya prasanna kumar.d

Hello
Please check if setting for Res/Purc.req. is set as 'from release' or 'immediately'. I assume you system is set as 'from release' .
Via note 790219 the material availability check was corrected and has replaced note 168373. From prospect of standard it does not make sense to execute a detailed material availabilty check when the material is still not mrp relevant. The detailed material check makes only sense when the component is relevant for MRP. As still mentioned above this MRP relevance can be handeled via order type customizing. When the order type set the MRP relevance to 'immediately' instead of 'from release'.
For influencing the MRP relevance you can change the default values of the order type or set it manually. Via the follwing customizing path you can set the MRP relevance to 'immediately' for the order type and plant:
Plant Maintenance
-> Maintenance and Service Processing
   -> Maintenance and Service Orders
     -> Functions and Settings for Order Types
       -> Define Change Docs, Collective Purc. Req. Indicator, Operation No. Interval.

Longer time for Material Availability check while creation of prd order.

Hi guys,
I am facing a weird problem while creating production orders thru CO01.
I enter the component and plant and I am also using the forward scheduling option.
for some reason, SAP is taking a long time for material availability check when I hit the release button.
Sometimes its taking more than an hour. Its happening with few specific BOM's, and I have checked the master data but I could hardly find a problem in master data.
Can someone suggest me some tips ??
Thanks & Regards,
Sashivardhan

Hi,
Please check the Availability check control maintained for Components it should be 01 or 02. Also check the issue storage location maintained or not. You can maintain issue storage location in BOM in Status/lng text tab in Production Storage Location.
Hope this will help.

Material Availability check during work order creation and Release

Hello All,
We are checking material availability at creation as well as release
Say we have Material XYZ=100 in stock MMBE
Now XYZ =100 is say at normal storage location =75
and scrap storage location=05 and serviceable =20
Currently when availability check is performed it checks for 95 (It excludes scrap storage location 05 )
but we want Availability check to be only for normal stock =75 and not for Serviceable and Scrap location
how to do this in configuration or via exits
Since if the material is under Scrap location it is not counting in Availability check at work order creation this logic is working fine but I do know from where this control is put that when the material is in the stock of scrap it is not counting in Availability check for work orders.Same thing I want to extend it to Serviceable stock .
Why not it is consider it for Scrap storage location , what is config or any MM enhancement
So that when Availability check run it will not consider Materials at SCRAP as well as SERVISABLE storage location also.
Please have your views on this
Regards
pratap

Hello
There are two option for your requiement
1. Changing the status of the servisable storage location stock to restricted use stock . You can include or exclude this stock status material in OPJJ. This solution is not storage location dependent. It is stock status dependent.
2. Please refer the enhancement for the storage location determination. I am not sure about this funtionality:
For production orders the following enhancement is available:
PPCO0005 enhancement for storage loc. determination/backflushing
You can use this enhancement to change the storage location and the indicator 'backflushing' in the reservation.
The enhancement PPCO0005 contains the following enhancement components:
Function exit
EXIT_SAPLCOSD_001 storage location determination/backflushing
You can find the description in modification text of the function exit.
You can find an example of the user exit in the function group XC01 in the include LXCO1F05.

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 .

Availability check for configurable material.

Hi,
We are implementing SAP ECC-6 & facing
issue during availability check for
configurable materials.
I'd like to take an example of
computer for better understanding.
Will consider Computer as super BOM and
following 2 as BOM:-
BOM-1. a)Monitor b) Cpu c)Key
Board d)Scroll Mouse e)With
Mouse Pad.
BOM_2. a)Monitor b) Cpu c)Key
Board d)Optical Mouse e)With
out Mouse Pad.
But Customer wants A)Monitor B)Cpu c)
Key Board D)Optical Mouse e) With
Mouse Pad.
In the above case System will not show
%age of Configurable materials
available & Vice-versa but rather it
creates requirement for computer and
it gives availability as the lead time
maintained in the Material Master of
the Super Bom.
Here the busines requirement is that
it should show %age of configurable
materials
available.
Plz find the attachment for your kind
reference.
Kindly guide me to sort out this issue.
Thanks & Regards,
Chandru

Dear Sir,
Thanks for the guidance/ reply . Still we have some doubts in this:
As per your instructions, I have created sales order and did the MRP run for the same.
I got the planned order, then I have checked the ATP in Planned order change view and got the following results.
No. of components checked: 641
Missing parts: 640
Overall confirmation date could not be determined
But where I can see the Percentage of Avaialble and percentage of to be produced.
Please guide me.
Thanking you
Regards
Chandru

Availability check for Make to stock and Make to Order

Dear All,
Client is selling Make to stock and make to Order material.
How and what settings need to do for Avaialbility check.or we can use standard one.
I hope in case of Make to Order availability check may not happen.
Please correct me.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Shrikant

hi,
yes for make to order we dont have AvChk. for make to stock items u need to follow the
below configuration.
Availability check
1. 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. For this purpose the system takes into account pre-delivery activities such as scheduling for picking or packing times and the time taken to produce or obtain the material. It also performs several background functions such as Backorder processing, rescheduling and ATP quantities.
2. Backorder processing: processing of a sales order that has not been fully confirmed or not confirmed at a certain delivery date.
3. Rescheduling: is a proposal of how u2013 confirmed quantities already assigned to a sales order can be reassigned to other sales orders that have a higher priority.
4. Available to promise (ATP): is a process of checking the available quantities of a material. The ATP quantity consists of warehouse stock + planned receipts (incoming stock) u2013 planned issues (outgoing stock). to examine stock on hand (CO09) proceed to logistics u2013 sales & distribution u2013 sales u2013 environment u2013 availability overview.
5. Replenishment lead time (RLT): 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 MRP 2 (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.
6. 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.
7. There are three types of availability checks u2013
Check on basis of ATP quantities.
Check against product allocation.
Check against planning.
Configuring Availability check through Checking Groups u2013
1. The checking group + checking rule determine how the availability check is to be performed.
2. The checking group determines whether and how the system checks the stock availability and generates requirements for material planning. The checking group defines what type of requirements will be passed on i.e. summarized requirements (daily/weekly) or individual requirements for each sales order.
3. The checking rule applies to how the availability check is to be carried out at the transaction level. Note that you must define checking rules for each individual application such as for production orders for example. In Sales and Distribution, the checking rule is specified internally within the system and cannot be changed.
4. The checking rule, in conjunction with the checking group, determines the scope of the availability check for every business operation; that is, which stocks, receipts and issues are to be included in the availability check and whether the check is to be carried out with or without the replenishment lead time.
5. Briefly explaining the above u2013 checking group determines which type of requirement to be passed on to MRP whether it be individual or summarized and checking rule which is at the transaction level and can be configured independently for each application module, determines which stocks, receipts and issues to be taken into account. For performing an availability check checking group has to work in conjunction with checking rule.
6. Advantages of individual processing over summarized processing u2013
Backorder processing is possible.
You can access (MD04) order, line and schedule line individually which gives a greater control on available stock and requirements placed on stock.
The system automatically uses individual requirements in case of special stock items.
7. Required data for the Availability check to be carried out u2013
The Availability check must be switched on at the requirement class level.
The Availability check must be set at the schedule line level.
A requirements type must exist by which the requirements class can be found.
A plant must be defined in the sales order for each schedule line item (in other words plant must be defined for every material in MMR).
A checking group must be defined in the material master record in the MRP3 screen in the availability check field.
8. Configuring Availability check and defining Checking Groups u2013
Checking groups are introduced into the sales order based on the setting in the material master record.
SAP standard checking groups are 01 u2013 summarized requirements and 02 u2013 individual requirements or you can create your own by copying the standard ones.
Total sales and total deliveries columns are there to configure a checking rule to sum up requirements to post to MRP either individually or by day or week.
Block quantity required can be set if you want several users to be able to process the material simultaneously in different transactions without blocking each other.
The no check indicator is CHECKED when you DO NOT want the system to carry out ATP check.
9. Defining material block for other users u2013 the block check box is an indicator that enables you to block material master records of a particular material during the availability check and restrict other users from accessing same master record and reserve the material. If the block is not set, two users can confirm the same material at the same time for two different orders, not knowing if the stock is available or not. If you select this field, the material is blocked during the availability check and other users cannot: a) Make changes in the material master record. b) Create purchase orders for the material. C) Create orders for the material.
10. Defining default values for checking groups - Checking groups are introduced into the sales order based on the setting in the material master record.
However if there is no entry present in the material master record for the checking group, a default value can be set here, depending on material type and plant.
This default value will be used by the system depending on the material type mentioned in MMR and plant in sales order.
If an entry exists, this default value is over written by MMR.
11. Controlling Availability Check u2013 in this section, you tell the system what stock on hand and what inward and outward movements of stock it must take into account when performing the availability check in addition to whether or not to consider the replenishment lead time.
12. These settings are based on the checking group that is assigned to the material master record and the checking rule that is predefined and assigned to the sales and distribution transaction.
13. These settings carry out control both for sales order and delivery as well. This is due to the fact that you may want to include specific stock or incoming stock for the sales order, yet at the time of the delivery only include physical stock on hand waiting to be shipped.
14. It is possible to indicate to the system that you would like the availability check NOT TO CHECK the stock at the storage location level. This indicator is used to set the scope of the availability check.
15. It is used to switch off the check at storage location level. You create a reservation for a particular storage location. However, the scope of the availability check is set in such a way as to exclude the storage location. In this case, the system carries out the check at plant level only and does not take the storage location into account that is specified in the reservation.
16. Should you not want the system to automatically check RLT, you may indicate so here. RLT is the time taken for a material to become available. It is only used when doing an ATP check and is taken from MMR.
17. Defining the elements in the availability check entirely depends on the business needs, but a few tips are given under u2013
When controlling the Availability check at the time of the sales order, a purchase requisition does not necessarily indicate by it is going to come into the plant.
A shipping notification on the other hand - a confirmed purchase order u2013 is a good indicator of receiving stock on a specified date.
It is always recommended not to select the shipping notifications for the delivery requirements type as you may not actually receive the stock into plant or warehouse for which you are creating a delivery.

Difference in Material availability date for ECC ATP check & for APO ATP check in the same order

Hi Gurus,
I have a question: on what basis material availability date is calculated in forward scheduling?
Eg:
For a customer GR hours are maintained in unloading point calendar in customer master and Customers are not CIF'ed across to APO.
GR hours are maintained for weekdays from 8:00 to 12:00 & 1:00 to 6:00.
In a sales order with two line items with Requested date today & plenty of stock on hand for two products( ECC & APO) where line 10 (product 1) triggers ECC ATP check & line 20 (product 2) triggers APO ATP check at same location (loc1).
RDD is today, material availability date for ECC ATP check (line 10) is today (working as expected) but where as the material availability date for APO ATP check (line 20)is pushed to next day by which for the same customer there are different delivery dates. And two delivery notes will be created & truck will be on road at different times for the same customer which is unacceptable.
What am I missing here to get the material availability date as today for forward scheduling? Please guide me on this.
Thanks,
Nihar

Material Availability Check in Process Order Issue

Guys, I need some help in understanding the folowing issue:
I have a FG and 2 components.I created a process order and tried to release the order. Automatic availability check is done and a dailog box appeared to list out the missing parts. Missing parts list shows both the components. But one of the componet has unrestricted stock to use in the storage location. why did the availabity check show missing part for that component?
I checked pp checking rule and it says for business rule 2 "no check" is unchecked. so that means checking is done. and this pp checking rule is assigned in OPJJ and also assigne dto the material master of the component.
please let me know if you need more information. Thx

Dear you are absolutely correct if you uncheck No check box in material availability in Order control OPJK per plant and order type that no automatic material availability check is to be executed for the specified business transaction (order creation or order release).
But further please note that the option of calling up a material availibility check manually and also of executing a collective availability check is not affected by setting this indicator. This indicator is also ignored if you work with Assembly orders and you have defined in Customizing for Sales Orders that a material availability check is to be carried out.
