Missing Parts check one level....can you confirm

Simple scenario.  I have a 3 level BOM.
Top level Item Mat A (make to order 82) > Mat X (make to stock strategy 40) > Component 1 (purchased).
Stock: There is only stock for the Component 1
When I create an order for Mat A I get a missing part for Mat X.  However, the committed date is giving me the Total replenishment lead time of my Mat X and not considering just the lead time to make Mat X even though we have Component 1 in stock. So my problem is that the ATP check is not considering that we have Component 1 in stock and should just give me a committed date for the in production time of Mat X.
Now I do understand that SAP PP may only look at the Zero stock for my Mat X when I create an Order for Mat A (Top level) - if this is why then fine but I wanted to check I am not missing something.
Moreover, if you make Mat X a collective (52) then it will see the stock for the component and give a reduced commitment date but my client does not want a collective order as they want to group the Make to stock items.
Yes if there was a planned order for Mat X then it would consider it.
My point is that am I right that pure ATP missing part will only consider one level in my example ?
any help buddies ?

007,
I don't know if I would call it a weakness.  It is what it is.  Its like spending the money for a Hyundai, and expecting the features of a Mercedes.  Not gonna happen.
The client gets as much as he is willing to pay for.  If he wants a multilevel availability check, then he must pay for the additional software that will perform this task (APO or third party), or he should commission a consulting company to write a custom application that performs this task within ERP. 
All such decisions boil down to the client's willingness to spend money and resources.  Its nothing to get frustrated about.  After all, he is the one that made the decision to buy SAP ERP, not you.  If he is unhappy, he can contact Walldorf.

  • Missing part check functionaliy at the time of GR when using IDOCS

    Hi All,
    We are using IDOCs to record the the Good Receipt for the Purchase Orders.
    Then a BAPI is called to post the GR.
    There is a functionality for missing parts checks which can be activated at the time of GR which checks the ATP & sends mail to MRP controller.
    When we directly use the MIGO, then missing part check is activated & a mail is sent to MRP controller.
    If we use the IDOC to post the GR, the missing part check is not activated & mhence mail is not sent to MRP controller.
    Pl let us know if there is a way by which we can activate the missing part check in GR using IDOCS.

  • What is missing part check in inventory

    Hi Experts,
    I want to know what is missing part check in inventory ?
    Thanks !

    Hi Dipika,
    A missing part is a stock of material that is already assigned to a goods issue at the time of goods receipt.This means that a current requirement could not be covered from existing stock(shortage or requirement undercoverage situation).As a rule,such a missing part bypasses the warehouse and ,upon receipt ,is forwarded directly to the point at which it is needed.However,this is only possible if the entered and the responsible materials planner are informed of such receipt.
    You must make following settings in customizing for <b><i>Inventory management and physical inventory under Goods Receipt>Set Missing Parts Check</i></b>
    1)<b>Activation of missing part check per plant</b>
    2)<b>Definition of a checking rule</b>
    3)<b>Specification of the details for control of the availability check</b>:To use the missing part check,you must enter a checking horizon for the missing part check.The checking horizon indcates for how many days in the future the system checks whether shortfall quantities exist for the material.Within the checking horizon,an email is sent from inventory management informing the materials planner that there has been a goods receipt for a missing part.
    4)<b>Assignment of checking rule:</b>At transaction level,the missing part check uses the same checking rules as the availability check.However,you have the option of maintaining different checking rules at movement type level.The checking rule of the movement type takes precedence over that of the transaction.Note that an entry for the movement type without an entry for the transaction has no effect.
    5)<b>Specification of the mail receipient(Email user):</b>The system sends the missing part message to materials planner(MRP Controller) responsible for the material.In order for this to happen,a user ID must be assigned to the materials planner
    6)<b>Specifications of missing part expediter</b>:If no user ID assigned to the responsible materials planner,the message is ent to the central missing part expediter responsible for the plant.This person is defined per plant.

  • Missing parts check

    Hi mates,
    can anyone explain about the  "missing parts check"  in Inventory management.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    Missing part check when activated the person who is checking for availability of stock and finds its not available at that time and later when GR is made for the material he will be intimated through an Email,
    for this you need to create a checking rule and checking group, rule assigned to movement type and group assigned with material master,proper message settings has to be done and also in ME21N screen in header delivery invoice tab GR message should be activated.

  • Missing part check

    plz explain the difference bwt dynamic availability check and missing part check.
    thank you

    Avlblty check - the stock existing in the system are taken into account to perform avlblty check .It covers all the stock affected at plant storage location and special stock level .
    Addition to above physically avlbl stock - the stock is also checkd frm MRP viewpoint - planned reciepts . This is called dynamic avlblty check
    Missing PART is that stock of material which is already assigned to goods issue at the time of GR . so such a missing part is directly frwdd to the point where is is needed at the time of reciept 
    there are certain settings which are required to perform dynamic avlblty chk and missing part chk

    We do not provide a VBA or .NET wrapper for the java APIs we provide. However, its not a huge task to call java from VBA. Just google, 'calling java from VBA'.
    you can then have the java API libraries sitting on the local machine and just call the one you need.

  • Missing parts check at GR

    Hello Gurus,
    I have tried to activate a missing part check at stage of GR, unfortunately without success. I concluded a customizing by OMBC and a condition record is defined for a condition type MLFH. Of course a CO24 shows my missing part. In any case no message types is determined in a material document.
    What could be reason?

  • Missing part check at goods receipt or transfer posting

    How Missing part check at goods receipt or transfer posting is different from availabilty check in production order.??
    In which conditions we would use Missing part check at goods receipt or transfer posting ??
    Is it possible for same component to behave differently in Missing part check at goods receipt or transfer posting or availabilty check in production order ?

    missing parts check is possible at the time of a goods receipt, other receipt, or transfer posting.
    if the missing parts check function is active in the plant, the system checks whether the material posted as a receipt is a missing part.
    if it is a missing part, the system issues a warning message and sends an e-mail to the MRP controller responsible in the plant. assigning the missing part to a particular goods recipient takes place with the missing part processing in the application component Warehouse Management

    Please, can you confirm that after erase the phone using the find my iphone option,  all my personal data will be completely unavailable? Someone stole my iphone 6 +  on the street. I have already received a mail from apple confirming that is erased. Can I trust on this message? It really works? my 3G connection was working properly.
    Thank you very much

    Hey Joangil,
    Yes! If you have received an email from Apple stating and confirming that it is erased then you should trust this message. It would have all been removed.
    Sorry to hear that your iPhone has been stolen,

  • Can you confirm a security hole in file sharing?

    I have found a very annoying security hole, and I wonder if it is unique to my setup. I have my mini set up with file sharing turned on. It has 5 accounts, one administrator, rest ordinary users. My login for the administrative user on my laptop is the same as on the mini. I have not turned on "Back to my Mac."
    From my laptop I navigate to the mini using either (a) the network panel in finder, (b) the local IP (afp://192.168.0.xxx), or the global IP (afp://64.xxx.xxx.xxx). (My router is set up to forward the appropriate ports to the mini's local IP). I mount the administrative user's home directory under apple file sharing. Now I have full access to these files. I DO NOT SAVE THE PASSWORD IN KEYCHAIN. All this is as it should be.
    Now I eject the administrator disk.
    From now on (until I reboot my laptop), I can mount that same disk without a password!
    Can someone confirm?

    {quote:title=William Lloyd wrote:}This is not a security hole.{quote}
    While I can understand that some may consider Kerberos automagically creating what is essentially a keychain without the users express knowledge or consent a "feature", I definitely consider it a bug and a huge security hole.
    The kerberos ticket should not live longer then the user is actually connected to the machine. Currently, if the user clicks the Disconnect button the Kerberos ticket lives on and any future connections to that server will user that ticket. This is not what users (especially novice to intermediate) would expect. If the user clicks the Disconnect button, then they would expect that they are completely disconnected and any further connections to that server would require authentication. Otherwise they leave their machine wide open, hense the security hole.
    The other thing that makes this so nasty is that if the OS decides not to use kerberos, for whatever reason, the behavior is different. It behaves as the user would expect. Clicking Disconnect does completely disconnect you from the server and any future connections will require authentication. So at a minimum there is a dangerous inconsistency in behavior between when the OS uses Kerberos and when it doesn't. That, at a minimum, should be fixed.
