MRP planning and Availability check

Dear Friends ,
We are updating Availablity check in the MRP view for all materials in materials master , While running MRP system is considering ATP check as per SPRO settings defined for Availablity check group .
Weare not conclude what is the relation for MRP run and availablity check , or any seperate SPRO settings available for MRP on availablity.
If we not assigned the Availablity check in MRP view what will happen if during MRP run ?
thanks & regards
Suresh Babu.S

Suresh,
MRP does not look at what you have configured for Availability check. These two are independent from each other.
As given in Help,
In the planning run, the system carries out the following partial processes:
1. The system checks the planning file entries. Here, the system checks to see whether a material has been changed in some way relevant to MRP and should therefore be included in the planning run (see Checking the Planning File Entries).
2. The system carries out a net requirements calculation for every material. Here, the system checks to see whether the requirement quantity is covered by available warehouse stock and fixed receipts from Purchasing or production. If the requirement quantity is not covered, the system creates a procurement proposal (see Net Requirements Calculation).
3. Then the system carries out the lot-sizing calculation. Here, the system takes the lot-sizing procedure and, if necessary, the rounding up or down values into account (see Lot-Sizing Calculation).
The system carries out scheduling to calculate the start and finish dates of the procurement proposals (see Scheduling).
4. The system determines the type of procurement proposals. Depending on the settings, the system creates either planned orders, purchase requisitions or schedule lines for a material (see Determining the Procurement Proposal). If you have maintained the necessary specifications for procurement quota arrangements, the system determines the source of supply which it assigns to the procurement proposal (see Quota Arrangements).
5. The system recognizes critical situations which the planner has to processes manually in the planning results. For this purpose, the system creates exception messages and carries out a rescheduling check (see Creating Exception Messages and Rescheduling Check).
Availability check is not a planning process, it is basically a CHECK, based on the Scope of check derived for that Particular transaction, system check the availability of a material and it can confirm or propose the possible availability date.
In short if a material is defined with Check Group "KP", but with MRP type PD, still MRP would creates procurement proposals if the demand is more than the stock+recipets.

MRP Planning and AV Check

Hi,
During MRP run for a FG will Availabilitycheck be carried out..??
I have a FG with MRP type ND(No Planning) and Availability check KP(No Check) with these settings if I run MRP I know that Material will not be considered for MRP run, but will Availability check carry..??
For which strategies (MTS and MTO) will AV check be carried..??
Please teach me.
Regard's,
Uday.

hi,
As MRP run is concerned it will take all stok into account, except the settings in OPPI for stock-in-transit, blocked and restricted.
Availability check is to check the availability of components for Planned orders and production orders.
For planned orders you can check the availabilty collectively in MDVP.
and prod orders check in COHV.
If you put ND as mrp type, system will not take it for planning.
Normally for pipematerials we put KP as availabilty check.
Thanks,
JK

MRP and Availability check clarification

while browsing the forum, many experts here mentioned in old threads that MRP and availability check are two different (independent) concepts. I am really confused on this one. let me put my understanding here and plz experts help me if I am wrong with a figurative explanation, so that will be easy for understanding.
Assume this is the scenario as of today.
Plant stock for material x u2013 100
Reservations for material x u2013 70
Incoming receipts for material x u2013 50
So net stock = 100 + 50 -70 = 80
sales order arrived for material x u2013 100 and availability check is done. Results of availability check says 80 can be confirmed and 20 can be confirmed on later date.Transfer of requirement for quantity 20 is done to MRP. Mrp runs and creates planned order for 20.
In the availability check config ovz9 if I say donu2019t consider reservations, then when availability check is done for 100 quantities..system will confirm 100 because available stock according to system will be 100+50 = 150. So transfer or requirements are not sent to mrp.
So isnu2019t mrp run directly dependent on availability check?

925,
sales order arrived for material x u2013 100 and availability check is done. Results of availability check says 80 can be confirmed and 20 can be confirmed on later date. Transfer of requirement for quantity 20 is done to MRP
No. 100 pcs requirements are passed to MRP.
In the availability check config ovz9 if I say donu2019t consider reservations, then when availability check is done for 100 quantities..system will confirm 100 because available stock according to system will be 100+50 = 150. So transfer or requirements are not sent to MRP.
No, 100 pieces requirement are passed to MRP.
This behavior depends upon how your 'transfer of requirements' is configured, which is an SD setting. Normally, unless the fix date qty field is set in the sales order, the entire 100 pc requirement is passed to MRP in all cases. The assumption is that you have accepted the sales order and will 'some day' need to issue and sell the parts. You need to begin planning for this event now.
When MRP subsequently runs, it will net out the supply elements (stock and inbound reservations) and will from this calculation determine how much needs to be built. It then proposes a solution (planned order or purchase req).
ATP check seldom has much impact on MRP. You are correct in realizing that the ATP check must be consistent with MRP and with your chosen MRP strategies, in order to provide an end-to-end business process that is logical and meets all business requirements. However, in SAP these two functions are separate.

Planned order availability check

Hi All,
The planned order generated is checking for the availability of raw materials .,
Im presently changing the planned order start date and finish date according to the commited date getting from availability check for components
The issue is the committed date is displaying when the raw material will be available ., this is fine
when there is stock for rm is available in rm stores it is not considering the stock, it is considering only the stock in wip store only(system showing a date according to the material planned delivery time , there is enough stock and no PR have been generated
help me in sorting out the issue
Regards
Anand Srinivasan

Hi anand
During MRP run . The BOM gets exploded and it will be based on your Strategy only.
If you use MTS 10 it will include stock, if it is 11 it will not include stock. If you use 20 it will not include stock during BOM explosion.
Availability check also depends according to your strategy.
That is why it not cosidering the stock and creating dependent requirement. On further conversion this will be converted to reservation.
Hope this is clear

Schedule Line Category and Availability checks

Hi Folks,
A generic question.
Wanted to know, how would availability check results influenced if only Item category and MRP type are maintained and not the scheduled line categories.
Was trying to figure a strange Availability check behavior of non-confirmation for one item category and confirmation for another- item x location being same. The ATP checks settings are maintained and called from GATP. (not R/3 and R/3 customization is not imported too).

Blocked Goods and availability Check

Hi,
I have a scenario where certain quantity of a material say "a" was blocked.But after certain time due to increased demand the client asked to make the material "a" available.So how does the availability check will work now..
Thanks

Simple, you need to have stock for the material. You schedule line cat relevant for Availability Check in sales order will take care of it.
If you have existing sales order for the material then use TCode V_R2 and V_V2 for running the availability check for unconfirmed items of the sales orders.
Or you can use V_V1 used to create confirmed backorder.

Cross-Docking, Deliveries and availability check

Friends & Gurus,
From what I read, Cross Docking (ECC 6.0) works with deliveries. I can link an inbound to an outbound delivery so as soon as the goods are received they head straight to the outbound delivery.
If I plan to use X-Docking for stockouts, how can I link the deliveries if the outbound cannot be created because of availabity check (no stock on hand).
Question: Should I change the availability check of the outbound deliveries so I can create them without stock on hand in order to use X-Docking functionality?
Thanks stranger!

Hi
If you are talking about blocked stock you can remove the check for blocked stock in OPJJ transaction. this will make availability check will not consider blocked delivery
If useful reward points

Third Party Drop ship and availability check against Product Allocations.

Dear All -
We are facing a situation where we need to create a third party drop ship Sales Order with an item category which still reaches out to APO and confirms against the product allocation quantities. This is not supported by standard SAP.
Has anyone come across such a requirement and how has it been handled. I would really appreciate any suggestions.
Regards
Mandar

Vladimir,
I want the drop ship in which when you create SO, before selecting the vendor, system should perform availability check for plants. If material is not available in the plants ( nearest plant) then system should select the vendor who will ship the material to customer directly.

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 time

To 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.
Project Budget by Month

Credit block and Availability Check

Hi,
As per standard behavior when there is credit block in sales order, system does not confirm the quantities when the sales order is saved even though receipt elements are available during availability check.
Is there any way to confirm the quantities even though sales order is into credit block.
Regards,
RS

Hello,
In requirement like yours we can Confirm the Quantities & insert a Delivery Block. To do this follow as below:
IMG - Sales and Distribution - Basic Functions - Availability Check and Transfer of Requirements - Transfer of Requirements - Block Quantity Confirmation In Delivery Blocks - Deliveries: Blocking Reasons/Criteria -
Here for Delivery Block 01 - Credit LImit - There will be a tick mark in Confirmation block (Conf) Box. Remove this tick mark & then system will Confirm the Stock inspite of Credit Block.
These block are defined here:
IMG - Sales and Distribution - Basic Functions - Availability Check and Transfer of Requirements - Transfer of Requirements - Block Quantity Confirmation In Delivery Blocks - Reasons for and Scope of Deliv.Blocks: Transfer of Req.Block
Hope this helps,
Thanks,

Schedule line and availibility check

Hello,
I have three questions ;
Q1) my schedule line category is set to " no avalibility check".
Q1A) How does the system confirms the stock in sales order or in delivery if schedule line category is set to "no avalilibity check"
Q1B) does the sales order and delivery appear in MD04 is schedule line category is set to "no availbility check".
Q2)my schedule line category is set to " no materials planing ?
Q2A) How does the system confirms the stock in sales order or in delivery if schedule line category is set to "no materials planning"
Q2B)does the sales order and delivery appear in MD04 is schedule line category is set to "no materials planning"
Q3) what is the relationship between MD04 and MRP run. Does all the sales orders or deliveries appear in MD04 after MRP run ?
request pls answer pointwise for clarity
regards
sachin

hi Sonu,
Q/3 ) relationship between MRP run & MD04
>The function of MRP is to plan the requirement of a header material as well as for the dependent requirements.This is done with the transaction code MD02.All the requirements are pulled up and planned.the outcome of the run will be a report which will show the details of the planning like
>Materials planned
>Materials with new exceptions
.MRP run is therefore static.
>MD04 shows you the stock requirement list of the material.after you run the MRP for a particular material this screen will show you the requirement for header materials,
dependent requirement,available stock,the reservations made.if the stock is less u can either generate PR for externally procured or create prodn order for internal mfred.
this is dynamic i.e whenever u run this t code u get the latest update on the status of that material.
u can't see deliveries in MDO4 only reservations
SO are not seen directly but as a customer requirement and when u run MRP they are changed to planned order.this planned order can be seen in MD04 from where u can either create PR or production order
Q/2B
"no planning " is used for those items for which u don't want to run MRP.certain materials are such that the controller can manage w/o running MRP i.e the SO comes and the product is either delivered or produced w/o running MRP.
hope this helps,
regards.

Replenishment delivery for material with MRP areas and Avl Check

HI We have MRP area at storage location level maintained for materials. Stock exists in the plant in the storage location which is part of the MRP area.
Now when I create STO and try to create delivery for the same, system is giving message 0 stock available and not creating delivery. Material has 02 Avl Chck group.If I deactivate the MRP area in the material master, it allows creation of delivery.
How can I ensure that system creates delivery even though stocks exist in MRP area relevant sloc only in the plant?
Sriram

1) According to SAP when inbound deliveries are used and your delivery item category is set up for mvt type 101, these should be received with transaction VL32N. If you use MIGO/MB0A instead the GR status in the delivery will not be updated. If you then report on open deliveries you'll notice that nothing is received in the course of time. Amazing. Now if you set up the delivery item category without the movement type your inbound will not even be GR relevant. Just one of these things that's nice to be aware of.
Check note 199703.
may b it helps...

Complete Deliv and Mixed Item cat and Availability Check

Hi Gurus,
Not sure if this is problem is new, I have searched with no clues.
A SO has 2 item categories. ZTAN, ZTAS. ZTAN is stock item, ZTAS is back to back item where a PO will be created. Same material. There is a GR processing time of 10 days.
SO created on 12.05.2014.
Item 1: MatA     First Date: 15.05.2014     Item Cat: ZTAN Qty: 500     Confirmed Date = 15.05.2014 (Stock Available)
Item 2: MatA     First Date: 15.05.2014     Item Cat: ZTAS Qty: 1000     Confirmed Date = 29.05.2014 (Today + 10 GR Process)
Then tick Complete Deliv. Indicator in SO overview screen.
Item 1: MatA     First Date: 15.05.2014     Item Cat: ZTAN Qty: 500     Confirmed Date = 29.05.2014
Item 2: MatA     First Date: 15.05.2014     Item Cat: ZTAS Qty: 1000     Confirmed Date = 29.05.2014
Save SO.
PO 1st AB line for SO item 2: Confirmed Date = 15.07.2014 results in Both SO item confirmed date = 15.07.2014
PO 2nd AB line for SO item 2: Confirmed Date = 15.06.2014 results in Both SO Item confirmed date = 15.07.2014.
You see the problem is after 2nd AB, confirmed date in SO does not change to earlier confirmed date. And even if we run the standard back order processing V_RA or V_V2, system still does not schedule earlier.
Any solution?

Then tick Complete Deliv. Indicator in SO overview screen.
Item 1: MatA     First Date: 15.05.2014     Item Cat: ZTAN Qty: 500     Confirmed Date = 29.05.2014
Item 2: MatA First Date: 15.05.2014 Item Cat: ZTAS Qty: 1000 Confirmed Date = 29.05.2014
Save SO.
PO 1st AB line for SO item 2: Confirmed Date = 15.07.2014 results in Both SO item confirmed date = 15.07.2014
PO 2nd AB line for SO item 2: Confirmed Date = 15.06.2014 results in Both SO Item confirmed date = 15.07.2014.
When you say system has confirmed in the first instance (29.05.2014), I am not sure where system is showing 15-06-2014 & 15-07-2014.
