Need to do availability check for multiple materials (in bulk)

HI Friends,
I need to do availability check for multiple materials. Currently i am using function module AVAILABILITY_CHECK within a loop.For my purpose I could find this particular FM as well as BAPI "BAPI_MATERIAL_AVAILABILITY" however both of this options can not be used for more then one materials at a time.
I want to take out the loop from the code and get multiple materials be ckecked at once for availability. If AVAILABILTY_CHECK FM can be used for multiple materials, please post the usage.
Any other options are there?
Any help or clue would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Use the BAPI. Even if such a function existed, it would still perform the relevant internal logic required for checking by material, so you wouldn't gain anything.

ATP check for multiple materials on multiple sales document

Hi,
System 4.70
Is it possible to carry out an ATP check for multiple materials on multiple sales documents.
I have written a bespoke program and the program requires an ATP check to be performed for each material and sales document, I am currently using BAPI_MATERIAL_AVAILABILITY which is bringing back the necessary information but it's a bit slow.
Does any one have any ideas please.
Regards
J-J

The ATP Check using the BAPI is done per material and plant. If you're looping through sales documents and then materials you're probably doing the ATP check for the same material over and over again.
Just get the list of materials you need and the corresponding plants and call the BAPI for each of them.
Also do a run-time analysis (tcode SE30) to check exactly what slows down your program.

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

Standard Report to check consumption values for multiple materials

Hi,
Is there any standard report to check "consumption" values for multiple materials? The user needs to check the consumption values over a period of time for multiple materials (VERP, ROH) before deciding the re-order and safety stock values for them. Any help on this will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Swapnil

Dear Swapnil,
Report MCRE is widely used for the material cosnumption than checking in COOIS.
Also these reports can help you.

ATP check for component materials

Hello experts,
The ATP check was initially designed for a kitting process. BOM Material would be kitted in the distribution center(DC) and sent to a garage. Sales orders are created with BOM materials for a garage and there is a multi- level GATP process in place. Since BOM materials do not exist at a garage the check would be performed at a DC for components after BOM explosion. The existing configurations in R3 and APO are for a make to order process(Strategy group of 50 for BOM's and 40 for component).
We are now introducing new materials for an existing material and have the need for product substitution on the sales order, if the existing material is out of stock at the DC. To enable this functionality we are having to perform an ATP check for the sales orders at the distribution center, though the sales order is created for a garage. To improve on the response times during the ATP check our design approach, is to convert the BOM materials in the sales order to component materials with material determination(one BOM material is tied to one component material) and performing the ATP check with components at the DC.
While testing we are facing the following issues:
1)Sales order placed on a garage is substituted with the DC after product substitution. This does not occur when product substitution is carried out with BOM's.
2)During the order create, the ATP checks for check mode u201845u2019 and business event u2018AEu2019 for a given material in a DC shows zero stock. While for the same material,location and business event AE the product availability check in APO reflects stocks available.
Is it feasible to do ATP checks for component material in a sales order which was initially designed to work with BOM materials? Am I missing some configuration settings in either APO or R3?
Regards,
Anil DeSouza

Hi Anil,
Yes it can be done.
1) For finished product & garage combination -
activate RBATP in the check instructions.
2) in the location substitution maintain 'location determination sctivity'. Here you maintain different check mode & business event -- ( this is nothing but check instruction --- in thsi you maintain 'MATP').
Hope this anws your first qus.
To addressing your 2nd question....follow below steps.
1) Do ATP from sales order, get onto results screen, click on product availability & check for 'scope of check' (check control) and look for the stock types that are included. Based on this your receipts are consdiered for ATP confirmation.

MD04 but for multiple materials

Hi,
Would just like to ask is there a standard report that lists down planning results for multiple materials?
It's like Stock/Requirements List (MD04) but for multiple materials....the info/fields I need are the ones found in MD04.
Thanks.
Best Regards,
Armie

Dear Armie,
You can't see MD04 details for multiple materials. Actually, it is impossible because MD04 is a screen designed for a single material.
However, if you want multiple material planning details, you would use
function LM61XU11 MD_STOCK_REQUIREMENTS_LIST_API to collect your own data and display it.

Need to Create a Check for Plant in WBS & Plant in Network

Dear Guru's,
While creating Project (CJ01) my users are creating in a Plant, and while creating network for the same project/WBS, they are using different Plant Code.
Since my Profit center is related to the plant in CJ01,
and because of wrong Plant in network, all my PR/ PO is going in a different Profit center, which is creating a huge problem while auditing.
I need to Create a Check for Plant in WBS & Plant in Network...!!
Kindly suggest me the ways to do it and how to do it...

Hi Deepa,
The Check you are trying to create between Plant defined at Project def and network level that should be same can be achieved through validation at the network level by using a user exit at network level.
                While creating the network you can change the plant value not equal to the value at proj def/network profile may be one of the reason is since the network type is defined for more than one plant (OPUV).
                While creating validations at network level we do not have the option of setting the prerequisite/check using WBS or Proj def fields (i.e. PROJ-, PRPS- fields)    so we need to create a user exit at the network level.
I am not sure but logically u can have a user exit for both prerequisite and check steps of the validation.
You need to create the user exit in program ZGGBR000.
Please take help from your Abaper for the same.
OPSI-Network header-Validation- Step - Prerequisite u2013 Check u2013 Message.
Prerequisite
If Proj Profile = u2018XXXu2019 and Network Profile = u2018XXu2019 (or as per your logic if need be use a exit)
CHECK.
PROJ-WERKS = CAUFVD-WERKS   (This logic needs to be defined in user exit and set the same user exit at the check.)
Once you define the user exit in ZGGBR000, it will be available in the tab u2018exitsu2019 at the Prerequisite and Check levels.
The name of the form pool (e.g., ZGGBR000) that contains your user exit must be stored in table T80D.
It is important that you make declare the code generation program for your user exit; how many and what type of parameters you are using for the user exit. You do this by entering your newly defined user exits in the form routine GET_EXIT_TITLES. Found in program ZGGBR000.
Check with your Abaper to check on all the aboveu2026

Plant at Network level should be same as at Project def level.
Hope it helps you,All the best..

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.

MRP FOR MULTIPLE MATERIALS

Dear cons
For MRP we are using t-CODE- md62 for requirement demand.Then we have created a z- t-code which is a replica of t-code- MD02. In MD02 T-CODE one single material option is availble. so we chose one BDC of new t-code- ZMD02. In this Z-t-code it is possible to upload multiple material.But the problem is for each material the system is creating an individual Purchase requisition even though I have uploaded multiple materials, Our motto is to create a single purchase requisition for these multiple material just like the t-code- ME51N where entering of multiple items .are available. So is there any standard T-code availble to create a single pur. requisition for multiple materials in one time.Any advice for other option.

Hi Nirupama,
In standard system we dont have any such facility/transaction to create a single PR for a bulk of material. Which ever T-codes are available to run MRP for multiple materials (ex:MD01), those give individual PR for each individual material. You may refer to SAP notes also for this.

Restrict Availability check for Line item in sales order

Hi Folks,
My requirement is some what different than the usual,I want to stop availability check for a particular line item,while creating sales order on a particular condition (example when quantity is changed for that line item),please suggest if there is any way to do so.
Thanks for your valuable support.

Hi
we need to maintain the username of the person who has triggered this process through XI .
I BAPI we cannot instruct the BAPI to maintain a specific username.
that is why i am using this FM because this will allow us to maintain the change history with the username we want

Sales Order - Availability check for components

Hi All,
I have 2 parts to my qns.
1. When a sales order is created for a component, with a req date, the system checks & informs if the mtl can be provided on the req date & if not proposes a new date - May i know which checking rule is used & also what all does the system check for?
2. A component say 'ABC' is used internally for production purpose & also sold as a spare part. A sales order for this component is created with a req dt. say 1.3.2008. The system commits the stock to the sales order. A production order is created later with a req. dt for 'ABC' say 1.2.2008. So when i carry out a collective availability check for the plant with ATP checking rule & with availability check reset indicator ticked, i believe the system should reset the commitments made to the sales order & assign the stock to the production order, but it is not happening so. Once the commitment is made to the sales order, it is not resetting, how can i change this behaviour?
Await inputs.
Anyone to help on this?
Edited by: Vivek on Jan 15, 2008 10:56 AM

As we know, availability check is controlled by the combination of checking rule and the checking grp.
U can see this at OVZ9 Screen. checking grp is proposed from material master Sales org 2 view or MRP2 views.
In the OVZ9 screen itself, we are setting what are all the stocks the system has to include when doing availability check.
The checking rule specifies the scope of the availability check for the respective transactions in sales and distribution by specifying precisely which stocks, receipt and issue elements should be taken into account during the availability check.
Every checking rule is allocated to a checking group: together these two elements determine the final inspection requirements. In addition, the checking rule includes a specification whether or not an availability check should take into account the replenishment lead time.
Currently, the checking rule is predefined in SD.
while answering to the second question, i think the system carries out the availability check again at the time of delivery, provided u need to maintain the availabililty check indicator at req. class level.
Hope i answers.

How to maintain One product cost collector for multiple materials and configuration setting

Hi experts,
my requirement is that i want to maintain one product cost collector for multiple materials ans also i want to know the configuration setting for the same.
I have used KKF6N but it is not working in my case. I went through KKF6M also but there i found multiple cost collectors.
please guide me in the same.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Shripad,
you cannot assign same Product cost collector to different material.
Because you creating cost collector for material combination of material /production version,material /Bom Routing.
so please create individual cost collector for every material.
if you have any query kindly revert back.
Please mark the answer as helpful if it is helpful to you.
