Production Order Simulation for Material Availability

Please Help.
Does anyone know how to run a simulation for a configured material and then do a material availability check? First I need to be able to configure a material, then I need to be able to see if I have the material available to build it. The requirement is coming from Sales or another Plant if the form of a question "Can you fulfill the SO by X date?" I have tried CO01S but after configuring the material it is not allowing me to then do the availability check. Any ideas would be appreciated.
Thank you

Hi,
Based on further checks i feel the simulation order might not meet your exact need, apologies for the incorrect info.
Alternatively what i can think of at the moment is,
1. Create a new order type say ZSIM, assign a new number range (create via co82) for this & maintain all other paramters as a normal order type
2. Create a user status in BS02, which does not allow for releasing the order & assign this user status to your new order type in OPJH.
3. Create a order for your material using this new order type & you can then use the material availability functionality.
The blocking of release for these orders, ensure that even by mistake the user does not release these orders as you want to use it for simulation purpose & thereby ensuring that it does not become relevant for production.
Hope the above helps.

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.

For Dynamic Credit Check replacing Material Availability date with Delivery date

Hi All,
Our client has this requirement, where they want to change the standard SAP functionality which Checks whether a schedule line item in a sales order is with in horizon or not based on "Material Availability Date" VBEP-MBDAT. They want in place of this Delivery date of schedule line should be used i.e. VBEP-EDATU. I did some research and found out that this could be done technically by updating the BADI "BADI_SD_CM".
Now we are stuck as to what needs to be changed? has anybody worked on this kind of requirement before?
Please share your past experience.
Thanks and Regards,
Prateek Maheshwari.

As you know, VBELN-Currency-POSNR-ETENR-MBDAT is standard exposure key of sales order but my ex-colleague changed it into VBELN-Currency-POSNR to compress exposure data for certain CCA.
In this case, of course, that CCA should meet some biz requirements(User-exit. etc) like no partial delivery. etc.... for integrity of exposures..
This case is different because you want to change value of key....and it's Date!!!!
Anyway I think it's techinically possible but it's very risky in live system because existing exposures would be not removed even if delivered, changed, deleted or blocked.
So you have to delete all exposures and rebuild after program changed.
I'm writing it's possible now but I refused when my customer want to change it because I don't have any way to rebuild huge data in live system.

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.

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

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.

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 date differs in R/3 & APO

Hi,
We are facing Issue with Material Avaialbility date for Planner order/Manufacturing Order in R/3 and APO.
We are using a Master Recipe for PDS Creation in APO which consists on 9-10 different operations, out of which only inbetween operation 4-5-6 is scheduled in APO.
So in APO Other Operations are not availble in PDS and hence not considered for scheduling as required. Also GR Processing Time is maintained on Product Master for which infinite Capcity Handling resource in created in APO.
When we schedule Operations in APO, the Scheduled dates for Operation 4-5-6 is sent back to R/3 and for other Operations based on relationship maintained takes addistional 1-2 Days.
In R/3 Availability Date for Planner Order/Manufacturing Order is calculating by adding a GR time after Operation 10 end time, while in APO as ony operation 4-5-6 is available a GR time is added after Operation 6, which is resulting in Differnet availability date for Order in R/3 and APO.
Kindly suggets a way to same date in R/3 and APO, if anyone has faced same Issue.
Thanks for your Help !!!

Hi Senthil,
I completly understand, that APO Material Availability date is GR end Date while in R/3 its a Process Order end date.
But Problem is not that.
Problem is not all operation of Process order are in APO, so assume u have 5 operations in Process order out of which only first 3 are relevant for schedulilng in APO. So APO schedules these 3 Operation and adds the GR time to Show the avaiablity date.
While in R/3 GR Time is added after end of Operation 5 which is right, so GR end date in R/3 and APO dont match.
Let me know if you think some more on this...!!!
Thanks and Appreciated !!!

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 .

PR Creation from Main Order based on Material Availability Check

Hi Experts.
I have activated material check for maintenance order, and system is checking material availability. But system is not generating purchase requisition if material not available.
PR creation from main order is feasible in case I will select item category as Non Stock - N; but system is not creating PR for stock item IC - L.
Can u further guid me, how system will generate PR for material assign in maintenace order, but required stock not available.
Thanks in advance....
Rgds,
Dipen

Hi,
As Venu told, for the Item Category L, system will create the reservation. While running MRP for that item, system will check the stock qty & required qty, then it will create the PR for the unavailable qty.
Only for item category N, from maintenance order, PR will be created.
Maintain the MRP type in Material Master.

Program to update Delivery dates of STO based on Material availability

Hi,
We have requireement in which, we need to material availability check for the materials on daily basis. This is only for Stock Trasnfer orders.
Suppose there is STO ( Stock Transfer Order) 1 that has been created for material M1 for qty 20. The scheduled delivery date for the material is tomorrow. Now I create another STO 2 today for the same material and same quantity. The scheduled delivery date that was proposed was 7 days from today.
Some one deletes the STO 1. Now Material M1 with qty 20 is avaiable to use. I then go in the system, open STO 2 in change mode. Select the line item and click on Material availability check. When I do this, the new delivery dates are proposed.
This is standard sap functionality.
We have required to do this programmatically. Is there any standard SAP program which will check all the STO's by there creation date and do the material avaibility check automatically and re-set STO dates.
Regards,
Shahu

Instead of all that, you could just use stock transport scheduling agreements. MRP can update those automatically during its processing.

Material availability date issue

Hello,
I am trying to create a sales order with 100 Kg of one material listed. Unrestricted stock for this material is 780 Kg in the system. When I save the order however, material availability date shows as one day forward from the current date, i.e. tomorrow's date shows if order was made today. This affects the posting of the dispatch advise (Outbound delivery). It does not let me post the DA until I change the selection date in VL01N to a date that is the same or later than the material availability date. This is fine. What I want to know is why is the material availability date showing as one day after the order date on the sales document? If stock is on hand and we want to dispatch the same day as the order it can't be done at present. Please help.
Regards

Dear Khan
Go to OVLZ, select your shipping point and check in "Pick/pack time wrkdys" whether any value is maintained. If so, remove that and now retry. Bcoz, for example, if 2 is given in this field, even if stock is available on the same day of order creation, system will allow to do PGI only after 2 days from the date of order created

Material Availability Date and Corresponding Basic finish date

Hi experts,
I have one requirement from my Business for updating Basic Finish date based on the Material availability date
Requirement goes like this, When we enter a Component of 100 qty in the service order , if stock is not available we get system status as MSPT and IWBK we can see how much quantity confirmed
But i dont see any table or report which shows when this material can be available for further delivery. Based on the next available material date i have to change the basic finish date in the service Order
Please let me know if you any report available for this or any standard approach. I want to know if any exist to leverage this functionality and logic how to get this accomplished
thanks
sarvan

Sarvan,
You would need to perform this check when saving the work order as there could be multiple components all with differing ATP dates.
But a development could do something like:
Read all active/open components/materials on the work order
Determine the availability data for each component/material
Determine the latest of the above dates
Apply this date to the order Basic Finish Date
You would need to ensure your scheduling parameters do not set this date back to its original value (OPU7).
You could achiev the above through user-exit IWO10009 (SMOD) or BADI WORKORDER_UPDATE (SE18).

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.
Cheers

Creditreport that displays Sales Orders with Material Availability Date as

Hi
I need input if the following requirement can be met in FSCM credit mgmnt.
Currently In FDK43 there is a total sales figure that represents the Sales that are consuming the Credit Limit assigned to the customer, unfortunately there is no drill down on this number to see which sales orders are responsible for the consumption of credit
Do we have any sales report that displays Sales Orders with Material Availability Date as an output in conjunction with Credit limit .

Not in standard provided. Custom program is required.
