MRP is not considering material availability dates for sorting customer ord

Hello Experts,
MRP is not considering material availability dates for sorting customer order/ sales order in sequence (thatu2019s is oldest from newest in order) in MD04.
Please suggest.
Thanks,
Om

Om,
No. Aside from my obvious desire to preserve my privacy, it would be a disservice to the other forum members. No-one else but you and I would understand your problem, and no-one else but you would be able to benefit from any solutions.
There are dozens of free public portals suitable for posting pictures on the internet. I suggest that you use one.

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

In the first row, the difference in RDD in UTC and UTC+6 is 6 hours. However, in the last three rows I can see the difference between UTC time and UTC+6 time is 7 hours. Would you know the reason to this? Also, in the first four rows, CET time = 7:24 which should had been 19:24. Please correct me if I am missing something here.

Material available date for a schedule line

Hi all,
I got a requirement of manupulating the material availability date in a scheduling agreement (preferably, customer specific).
For Example : Suppose I created a scheduling agreement for customer 1 coming under route 1 (and the route1 is defined as a transit time of 1 day ) with the scheduled delivery dates of 12.09.2007 and 14.09.2007; system consider the route value and proposes 11.09.2007 and 13.09.2007 as the material available date for the purpose of MD04, VL10 etc.
For some customers using the same route no 1, I need an additional day for my preparation, i.e for the above example, I need the system to propose 10.9.2007 and 12.09.2007 as the material availability data for MD04, VL10.
How to achieve this, I dont find any field in the customer master for this purpose.
Can some one suggest some solution, it is an urgent requirement.
Thanks in advance.

you have to change either route(CREATE new route with tranportation lead time) or use another shipping point ( preferable) by maintaining another shipping condition for these customer ( maintain shipping times), this will solve your pro

Update Material Availability Date for Sales Order having a Delivery

Dear Gurus,
We have a bit out of the way scenario. There is a o/b delivery already added to a shipment. And then we receive a IDOC from external MES System (i.e. Production) with new material availability date. This new material availability date is updated on Sales Order. In short the order is delayed.
Current Solution:
In this case the user has to remove the delivery from the shipment manually. then the IDOC deletes the delivery and the updates the sales order with new date followed by creation of new delivery.
The business expects to updated the Sales Order material availability date without changing Shipment / delivery. Any solution?
Current solution has to be changed as for Shipment purpose changes are made to delivery which are lost when the delivery is deleted.

hi
in this case you have to adopt the business process change.
you have to update the EDI first and then you create delivery.

Material Availability Date

HI ALL,
I have a client..
She requested to configure a route for two new customer..
I configured the new route: R1, it has 22 calendar days transit time, and 3 working days transportation Lead time.
Then she create an Export Order on 12/01.
Indicating the Required Delivery Date of 12/30.
Then Automatically the:
Material Availability DAte defaulted to 12/8;
Goods issue date 12/8;
Loading Date 12/8;
Transportation Planning Date 12/3.
1. Am I right in saying that the computation for the Material Availability date for the above example is based on the indicated Required Delivery Date which is 12/30? Is it 12/30 - 22 days (transit time) = 12/08 MAD? Considering also that the material will have a stock that time (based on Planned orders)?
2. And then regarding the transportation Planning date, am I right in saying that it was computed 3 working days from MAD 12/8? (weekend 12/6 and 12/7)
3. How can I possibly configure the Material Availability Date to be 25 days from the Required Delivery Date without any impact to Transit time of 22 days? Is there any other way? Its like 22 days - Transit time and 3 days for material preparations?
I'll appreciate any prompt response. Thanks!
-Jisley-

Hi there,
1) Transportation lead time TLT is the time that is required by the transport planning point to finalise & prepare for the tramsport (like finailise the carrier, route, costs etc).
So the TLT is 3 days from the order load date. The system need not wait till the MAD & then calculate MAD + 3 days for transportation planning time. Even tough material is available or not TLT is 3 days from order date.
2) When you mean 3 days, it need not necessarily mean 3 working days. Check the factory calender assigned to the route & the shipping point. Check what are definied as working days / holidays. System will calculate accordingly. If Sat & Sun are holidays in the factory calender, then it would take 3 working days. Else it is 3 calender days weekends not included.
3) MAD is calculated by the time mantained in MM02 -> MRP 2 screen. You will maintain the inhouse processing time for finished goods (internallly produced goods) & planned delivery time / GR processing time for trading goods (externally procured goods). If you are aware, MAD is calculated through backward scheduling from the requested delivery date RDD. From the RDD, system will go backwards & propose GI date, loading date, pick pack date basing on the times maintaind in shipping points & routes. Goods should be available on the pick pack date. Else it will check the new MAD (basing on MRP 2 values in MM02) & then carriers forward scheduling to propose a new confirmed delivery date. If you want to have MAD of 25 days, then maintain 25 in MM02 --> MRP 2 values & check it.

Incorrect material availability date determination

Hello Friends ,
We have one issue with Material availability date . In our system, R/3 fetches the material availability data from APO. We have two materials A & B and for them have enough stock in the plant. We have one FM which determines the material availability date by fetching data from APO . This FM is similar to sales order simulation in VA01 .There are two scenarios here as mentioned below :
1) When i run the FM in the morning to check the material availability date for these two materials then it shows today's date for both the materials.
In Debug mode, committed quantity for both materials is greater than zero .
2) When i run the FM in the evening , output shows today's date as material availability date for material-A while it shows tomorrow's date for material-B.
In Debug mode, committed quantity for material A for today is greater than zero while for B, its equal to zero . Hence FM selects next date as material availability date for B .
There is something related to item level as i have run the FM for both the materials with same customer and plant . In R/3 material master data (MM03) is same for both the materials. Please help me to find out why FM is behaving differently in the evening for the material B.

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.

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 !!!

Route is not considering in delivery scheduling for Third party order proce

Hi All
Advance thanks for your inputs
We need to consider the route in the delivery scheduling for third party order processing..
Example
i have standard order (document type OR) when i have item cat TAN its considering the route for ariving the material availability date, if it has TAS(third party) then its not considering the route......
But we want to consider the route in deliver scheduling in case of third party order...
kindlly pls advice..
regards
raja

Hi Viven.,
Routes they come under normal order as we deliver the goods,but here in TAS,third party sale we are not delivering the goods,Just there is logical moment i.e MIGO,So i dont think we do routes for TAS
Thanks & Regards

Reg: Material Availability Date

Dear All,
I find difficult to understand the logic behing arriving Material Availability Date.
It is not a basic question. Because I know the Availability check process and Backward scheduling process. But I am not able to understand the link between the process to arrive Material Availability Date.
Availability chek is carried with Checking group + Checking rule combination. With that we can conclude the Available quantity to promise the Customer.
But how does the Backward scheduling or Forward scheduling comes into the picture. How does the Backward or Forward scheduling getting triggered? Is it part of Availability check?
Because the quantities are confirmed by Availability check and the dates are confirmed by Backward or Forward scheduling. How does the systems synchronizes the quantity and date? Could you please explain.
I am not able to understand how does the Material confirmed on particular date and how does the Availability check helping to fix it?
Kindly explain.
Regards,
Raja Durai

     1. Basic doubt; I could see a graph with Inward and Outward movements in the given link, is it
         populated based on the movements in CO09?
Yes, the inwards & outward movements that are considered in the ATP check are displayed in CO09. Transaction OVZ9 determines which inward & outward movements are included.
     2. What is the base date for RLT? Is it calculated from Order date or Requested delivery date?
As per response from Phanikumar, check the F1 help of the field in CO09. This is the best explanation available for RLT.
     3. Is forward scheduling considered if we have RLT active?
Yes. RLT is only relevant if there is no available quantity so forward scheduling can be used.
     4. While system does the Backward scheduling, there are possibilites, system can derive the
         Material availability date in the past, Is Availability check can happen on past days?
Yes, this depends on the customising in OVLY mentioned by G. Lakshmipathi.
Take the following example:
Requested delivery date = today (17th) February
There is a route with 5 days transit time.
RDD (27th) - 5 days transit = GI date of 22nd February.
This is a date in the past. If OVLY allows dates in the past, then 22nd will be accepted. If OVLY does not allow dates in the past, then a forwards scheduling must be executed. This will take todays date as requested material availability date and forwards schedule. 22nd + 5 days = delivery date of 4th March.

Material Availability Date of Sales Order

An issue 1 :
There is material which is GATP relevant and stock is available in APO and R3.When GATP check is performed MAD Date is shown as Current Day +1,where as it should be Current Day only.And this issue happens on Friday only i.e GATP returns Current day as MAD day on other than friday.
An issue 2 :
There are Sales Order already created for a material sat mat1 with availability check code "ZF" in MRP3 tab of material master.The MAD has already been calculated with existing settings through GATP functionality.
What is required that change the availability check code in MRP3 tab of material master to "ZB" and re-check the availability of the already created sales orders in R3.
But what we understand since Sales Order already created for Availability check code "ZF",new changed "ZB" will not impact the ATP check.
An issue 3 ;
What are the settings influence the calulations of MAD in APO and R3.
Is there any way this can be achieved.
Manish

Manish,
First, you will always get better responses in this forum if you enter one issue per post. Many people are unwilling to respond to a multi-question posting.
Issue 1. There are dozens of factors that can contribute to a Material Availability date in APO. Are you using RBA? Allocation? ATP against a forecast? CTP? Transportation Scheduling? etc etc etc......
The most likely reason is that you have an issue with with valid workdays in one of the calendars that affect your GATP check.
Issue 2 - This is mostly an R/3 issue. The practice you call out (change the MM ATP checking group and re-atp the order) is only supported by SAP in a limited way. The easiest way I have found to do this is to open the sales order, remove the plant from the item, and then save the order. Make your changes to the MM. Wait until the MM changes get to SCM. Now, re-open the sales order, and re-enter the plant. If you are lucky, the sales order will re-read the updated MM data, and re-atp the order in SCM using the updated SCM data. Now, re-save the sales order.
By the way, don't think that you can now blithely change the ATP checking group in R/3 back to the old value. You will face additional problems in delivering and shipping the order later. The process I described should only be used to correct an existing MM error.
Also, be aware that any ATP checking group beginning with a 'Z' has been customized for your company. You should contact the local SD expert to see what changes your company had made for these ZD and ZB groups.
Issue 3 - GATP is a large module in SCM. There are many types of checks. Each one has it's own items that can affect MAD (generation of MAD is the prime output of GATP). I couldn't possibly cover them all in a single posting. The standard SAP overview class for GATP is 3 days, and this class doesn't go into much detail. I strongly recommend that you consult with your local GATP functional expert, or consider hiring an expert GATP consultant if you wish to proceed with your development of APO GATP.
Good luck!

DB49.

Sales Order Material Availability Date Data Source

Hi,
I'm sorry if this information is readily available, but I read ~20 discussions and couldn't find the answer.
Can anyone help me understand how the material availability date is calculated? Is it just based off the In-House Production or Planned Delivery Time of the material master? What if the material has a routing? Is there a way to update the Planned Delivery Time based on the routing?
What about for multiple levels? (e.g. purchase a part, modify it, then ship it) If the BoM exists will it perform the explosion and sum the planned delivery time for the raw material and the in-house production time for the finished material?
I'm asking because we are having many problems with Sales Orders for parts that we can not ship in time... so we must have something missing.
Thanks for any help.

Before that you need to understand the delivery scheduling process.
For example customer requested date is 15.04 2014
Order is created today i.e 28.03.2014.
Here system always does backward scheduling first. If the backward scheduling failed then system does forward scheduling. Backward scheduling failed if the material availability date is going beyond the order creation date. then in that case system does forward scheduling.
Backward scheduling does based on the customer requested date and forward scheduling does based on the order creation date.
when system does forward scheduling it will get two scheduling date in the schedule line tab.
Suppose Pick/Pack time is 1
Loading date is 1
transit time is 1
transportation time is 1
Here system will do the backward scheduling first for calculating the customer requested date
Delivery date minus transit time (Route) = Goods issue date
Goods issue date minus loading time (shipping point) = Loading date
Loading date minus transportation lead time (Route )= Transportation Planning date
Loading date minus pick/pack time (Shipping point) = Material availability date
here material availability date is 12.04.2014. on that date system will check whether material is available or not. If yes, then system will confirmed the quantity. If not then system will again do forward scheduling.
Suppose material available date is 13.04.2014 then system will add the all the above date to material availability date to calculate the actual customer delivery date
So here the customer requested date is 16.04.2014
Transportation lead time & pick/pack run parallely. system will consider the highest between both.

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 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
thanks
