Product availability check - changes to delivery proposals

Hi all,
At the time of sales order creation, product availability check takes place in APO
Some validations are required to put in place before system gives delivery proposals in APO screen. This is required before the proposal screen is displayed. e.g. change the quantity proposed.
Is there any way ( e.g. user exit) to achieve the same ON APO SIDE ?
On ECC side, user exit APOAT005 is available which can be used to change confirmed quantities. But requirement is to change it in APO before the proposals are given.

Hello Pawan ,
                        Can you please throw some light on this situation
              We are currently using CTM to generate Purreq(Location B) and Preqrel (Location A). Then we are doing an ATP check the sales order at B is getting a confirmation quantity but in RRP3 we cannot see a confirm quantity agaianst the Purreq nor Preqrel.
Say this result is after CTM run and ATP
                                            B                                           A
                                                                                      Stock (2,2)
                                           Sales order (2,2)
                                            Pur req (2,0)                             Preq rel (2,0)
Now those quantities are the (Rec/ReqQTY ,Confirmed QTY).....now in the above scenario the Product Availability at A should show Cumulative ATP as 0 but it is still showing as 2 ...that is because the confirmed quantity against Preq rel is 0.
Now when we run RulesBased stock transfer using BOP...we have the following results.
                                              B                                           A
                                                                                      Stock (2,2)
                                           Sales order (2,2)
                                            Pur req (2,2)                             Preq rel (2,2)
Can any one throw some light on what is happening ....it seems the ATP is not giving confirmed quantitties against the Stock transfers generated by CTM .

GATP - User exit during product availability check

Hi,
Is there any method (e.g. user exit) to confirm the stock based on batch characteristic in APO during product availability check? i.e. before confirmation of the stock some validation needs to be put by reading the batch characteristics.
Let me know if further clarification is required.
Regards,
RS

Hi Manimaran,
thanks for the reply,
Actually we are not using class 400. The confirmation of stock should be done by reading the batch characteristic value because we want to put validation on the characteristic value. This should happen during product availability check.
Is this possible based on batch class (023) and without using class 400.

GATP , product availability check error

Hello all
I have a APO product with check mode, ATP group . The ATP customizing is correct inmy understanding and the ATP simulation in APO gives correct results. However when I create a sales order in R3 , it results in an error:
Error in calling up function 'BAPI_APOATP_CHECK' in APO server 'APOCLNT800': Screen output without connection to user.
Message no. AG023
Diagnosis
A system error or communication error occurred while calling up a
function in the APO server.
Thanks in advance and any help is appreciated
Anton

Hi,
The problem is with the userid of RFC. In RFC Connection from R/3 to APO the user id should be a dialogue user. which is not at present in your system.
Make it a dialogue user, and the error will go away.

Availability Check Changed on the Material Master Update Existing Orders

I need to know if there is a way to update existing orders once changes have been made to the material. Currently the only way that I know of is to go into individual orders change the plant save then change it back to the original plant on the order then the changes take effect. How can I achieve this without touching every order individually. Is there something to mass update existing orders to take a new snapshot of the material master settings for a material.

Try with t.code VA05 - Open sales order list.
Execute this list. In the output, sort the data by plant. Then go to menu Edit -> mass change -> new plant. Change the plant for group of sales orders that have similar plants. Then again do the same thing to bring the previous plant in the sales orders.
This can help reduce the time instead of going one by one.

Availability check during Shipping

Hi,
I want input regarding availability check during shipping.
It's a make to order scenario & I want to know whether availability check is really required during shipping for checking the sales order stock or it can be managed without availability check.
The reason, why I want to avoid availability check is because the quantity of production order is very small say 10 ton of concrete p day. I require a proper logics to convince my client.
Please share your valuable inputs.
Regards
Suman

Dear Suman
Whatever be the production order quantity, it makes sense to carry out an availability check in the delivery for the following reasons.
If you do not carry out an availability check for particular materials in the sales order, you should definitely check whether the order quantity is available and can be delivered when you create the delivery. Even if you have checked the availability situation in the order, it makes sense to check it once again in the delivery.
The availability check is calculated using planned inward and outward movements of goods. Therefore the delivery situation might have changed in the meantime due to unforeseen circumstances, such as lost output. The availability check in the delivery takes any such changes into account.

Disable Availability Check on Sales Order But Activate on Outbound Delv

Greetings all experts !
Currently, there's a new request to create a new processes whereby during the sales order creation, no availability check will be in place but material will still be posted to production planning ( TOR ).
Availability check instead should be activated during the creation of outbound delivery.
I have already configured in such a way that the relevant sch line item ( VOV6 ) - availability check is unchecked and TOR is checked.
But during creation of sales order, availability check is still in place for material specified.
I have check on the necessary requirement class and requirement type settings. Fyi, requirement class used - availability check is ticked. Could this be the reason even though i have disabled availability check on sch line ?
I have tried to untick the availability check setting in requirement class ( OVZG ), and while this can disable the availability check in Sales order, but that configuration will also disable availability check in outbound delivery.
My queries :
1 ) What are the configurations that I need to look into to cater to the above request. To disable availabilty in sales order but instead, run availability in outbound delivery ?
2 ) Is there any way I can disable the availability check on based on sales order type using userexit or function module ?
3 ) Is there any additional function module/bapi/userexit that i can implement to force outbound delivery to run availability check ?
My apologies for such lenghty message here but really really need some valuable feedback here as I'm totally at lost with the new requirement for now.
Many thanks in advance.
Warmest Regards,
Edie O

In SPRO
goto SD>Schedule line>Define schedule line categories
here check if the schedule line category associated with your mentioned order has a flag ticked for Availability.
Availability check for sales
You must carry out an availability check for the following transaction.
The indicator is determined as a proposal in conjunction with the respective requirements type. It can be changed in individual shipping transactions. However, only one restriction is effective.
Example
You do not set an indicator for maintaining the requirements type. In this case, no availability check is carried out. This is independent of the selection in the respective transaction.
You set an indicator for maintaining the requirements type. In this case you can decide whether or not you require an availability check for the relevant transaction.

Availability check disabled in order

Hi,
If we disable availability check, ATP in sales orders and deliveries, what happens in the delivery creation. Normally when there is availability check in the delivery creation the confirmed quantitiy and the confirmed delivery date in the schedule line is controlled and if the quantity is not confirmed then system does not allow to create delivery. If we disable the ATP, availability check in order how the system act?
The need of the business is that they plan ithe production n a 3. party and they don't update SAP with the planning result because their shipment schedule is not related with the production planning. Their customer decides the shipment schedule even if the materials are in stock sometimes their production plan change and they can even try to create the delivery of a product whihc is still being produced.

Hello
The best way to check this is in your development server...(Take off the availaibility check and transfer of requirements indicator of schedule line category...and also the delivery item category)
You should be able to create an order and will be confirmed immediately and should be able to create a delivery.You will need stock before you can post goods issue....
I do not know if in such a scenario they will be manually able to control the product allocation...because in case you have several deliveries then the users can select any delivery and post goods issue as long as the stock exists....
Thanks

Availability Check - Messages

Hi, Consider this Scenario.
I have 2 Materials (M1 & M2) maintained in Same Storage location (e.g. 0005) & Plant (e.g.1000). There is no stock for both these items (MMBE).
Now, I created sales order for these items. Availability check is carried out (Checking grp 02 & rule A) and qty is confirmed based on RLT I think. ATP is Minus.
Now, while creating delivery for Material M1 i am getting an error message as soon as I enter the storage loc 0005 " only x unit of Material M1available". Whereas for material M2 I am not getting the error message though I dont have stock for this item too.
The requirement is Client wants this message to appear when creating a delivery for an item if there is no stock.
Additional info:- If I turn Off Availability check at the delivery, I am not getting this message.
Is this activated at Availability check or at Storage location or where ??
Kindly help me on this issue.
Thank you
Mohamed Imran R

second material M2 though there is no stock, system is allowing me to create delivery
Kindly check the Schedule Line category of that Material & in VOV6 ,select the boxes - Availability & Req./ Assembly. Now go to Delivery Item category of that Material & in Field Check quantity 0 - make it as B ( Dismiss situation with error message in create/change mode).
Hope it would help you.

Availability check at sales Order level

I am working in retail project and we have Cash sales, Rush order, Standard order scenario. All articles are created as Trading articles HAWA.
When we create a sales order with cash sales document type, Rush order the availability check happens at sales order level itself but if I use the OR document type the availability check happens at delivery document level not at sales order level
I want the availability check to be happening at sales order level so I have marked the availability in VOV6 for schedule category CP and CV.
I donu2019t have the stock for the material X and we have not created any purchase order for X material but system is giving the confirmed delivery date with OR document type. So I have marked the check without RTL in OVZ9. After this system shows the confirm delivery qty is 0.
I think if the availability check happens without replenishment lead time then only I can get the output as per my requirement
Can anyone guide me is it the right way to address this scenario

Hello,
Cash sales --> The detail configuration that has to be made for Cash sales are as follows:
1. Create a new order type ZBV by Copying the BV Standard Order and in the functionality of ZBV activate immediate delivery.
2. Create a new category ZBVN by copying item category BVN and check whether credit active unchecked or not in ZBVN.
3. Make all the neccessay setting for the item category determination for cash sale for which u configured.
After the delivery document is created in the background, billing document is generated wrt Order.
Rush order -
>
1. Create a new order type ZRO by Copying the RO Standard Order and in the functionality of ZBV activate immediate delivery.
2. Create a new category ZTAN by copying item category TAN and check whether credit active unchecked or not in ZTAN.
3. Make all the neccessay setting for the item category determination for Rush order which u configured.
Please remember here the goods has to be picked and then PGI has to be posted. Then only you can bill the Order.
And for standard order process, please refer the below link:

How to execute availability check against delivery date in purchase order

Hi all
In MD04, I know that "available date = delivery date in purchase order + GR processing time" & "GR date = delivery date in purchase order". When I execute availability check in production order, I will get material's committed date = available date. But I hope to get material's committed date = GR date in purchase order.
For example. delivery date in purchase order is 2012/02/06 and GR processing time is 2 days. After ATP in production order, I will get committed date 2012/02/08. But I hope it show 2012/02/06. How to customize it.
(The GR processing time must be set 2 days for MRP calculation. it can be changed to 0.) Thanks!!

Hi Rita,
One Doubt, If you say that material commited has to be the GR date and you do not wish to wait for GR processing time, then why do you have the GR processing time in first place.
For ex. My client, we get the stock as per GR in Quality inspection and so we have GR processing time considered for available time in MD04. But since the business considers the Inspection stock as avialble, The stock gets reflected in avialibility check the moment GR is done.
So please explain your requirement in detail. There could some way to do so. If not the raise an issue with SAP.

Sales Order availability checks + date changes in POs v Proc Orders

Am getting into a knot about availability checks.
I have a MTO process. All my materials have the same planning strategy (MRP3) but are either inhouse manufactured/external (MRP2)
1. I create a sales order for a subcontracted material so MRP creates a Purchase Requisition which I convert to a Purchase Order..
OR
2. I create a sales order for a manufactured material so MRP creates a planned order which I convert to a Process Order
Let say I have a delivery date in the sales order of September 20th for both scenarios above.
1. For the subcontract PO, my delivery date is confirmed by the vendor as October 10th so I change the delivery date in the PO. If I run the availabilty check in the sales order, the sales order delivery date changes from September 20th to October 10th.
Perfect.
BUT
2. For the manufactured products, if I change the process order to have a Finish Date of October 10th due to a busy production line, when I go into my sales order and run the availability check, it still comes back with September 20th, i.e. ignores the date on the Process order. Why isn't it updating to October 10th?
My ATP check is set up to include Production/Process Orders. any suggestions as to what I'm doing wrong?
Many thanks.

Hi Shiva
Here are my availability check settings in OVZG
All "Stocks" checkboxes are unticked except for "W/O Subcontracting".
All "In/outward movements" checkboxes are ticked.
X "check all planned orders"
X "Take all production orders into account"
X "Check releases for stock transport orders and requisitions".

Schedule lines in Availability Check Delivery Proposal screen

Hi,
This is in continuation to an earlier thread that I had created about Sales Orders not getting CIFfed across to APO. I have a situation in a different system where this is being configured for data transfer. The problem here is not about CIF. All issues pertaining to CIF were addressed in the earlier thread.
This question is primarily about schedule lines of the sales order not opening up for confirmation in 'APO Availability Check: Delivery Proposal' screen as in this link: https://docs.google.com/leaf?id=0B78qjSKXsqbeNDFjMzlkM2MtMDNlOS00ODFmLWJmYjktYmU0ZDU5Zjk0ZDlh&sort=name&layout=list&num=50&authkey=CO2E0ZYN
It is perhaps some config that is changed or missing that is causing this problem.
Kind regards,
Srikanth

Srikanth,
This is what the screen looks like when the ATP you have configured cannot confirm anything. The only button available to you is to proceed without confirming the order.
An example of the types of reasons would be no allocation available, no stock available, no supply elements available, too many existing requirements, etc etc. Improper or incomplete APO GATP configuration could unfortunately also be the culprit.
You have two icons at the top, check instructions and Allocation. Click on these buttons, and they may give you clues as to what is causing your problems.
Best Regards,

Control availability check during release of production order

friends,
Can you guys help me find the user exit/BADI which will allow me to control the release of production order after the availability check is complete.
In detail, the scenario is that : based on a flag on material master, I should be able to ignore this product's availability during release. I cannot change the availability check to "KP" ( No check) as this product can be sold seperately. So what I thought was that if I get to control the availability check during production order release I would be able to ignore this product before check or may be after check and before the status change.
I found PPCO0021 exit and function module EXIT_SAPLCOZR_003 which is actually intended for release control for automatic batch determination. I am not sure if I can use this.
Please let me know if you guys have any idea.
Thanks
Prod_Planner

Let me rephrase the scenario :
I have a production order for a product P1 which consumes raw materials R1 and R2. R1 is supplied by a nearby vendor every 1 hour to my plant so I do not need to worry about the availability of it when releasing the order but R2 availability should be taken into consideration. So, function 1 or 2 in OPJK will not work (as release need to be stopped if R2 not available) hence I will be using 3. If I use 3, R1 availability is also considered hence the whole order is not released. I will maintain a flag on material master so if R1 has flag, I need to ignore R1's availability but still considering R2.
As mentioned, I found PPCO---21 which could help me but need your help to understand if there is any other way.
Thanks

Availability Check in production order

hi everyone!
there is a finished product A, whose compoent is B, and A:B=1:1. now, B's stock is 100PC. we created a production order which product A 80PC, and availability check is "all material is availability".
then we created a new production order, which product A 70PC, and availability check is "all material is availability" too.
but in fact, B is shortage.
Therefore, please tell me how I do material availability check?
thanks!
DanDan

Hi Dandan,
Check RLT mark in OPJJ, (replenishment lead time)
That use during availability check,during the availability check, the system checks the replenishment lead time.In your case B items for which the delivery date falls after the end of the replenishment lead time, the system assumes that everything can be available.

Availability check & co-product

Hi gurus,
I am facing a strange problem for availability check.
I have a order and a material list. In the material list I have one co-product. (I have activated availability check at order creation & at order release.)
When I go for availability check I get the message all materials are available when the co-product is in the list with the negative quantity. I get this message even though the components are not available.
Interestingly, when I delete the negative sign of co-product and convert the quantity into positive quantity I get the pop up for missing part list which is fine for the co-product but the missing part list also ocontains all the other components which are unavailable.
Is it a problem of system?
I will reward with points all answers.
Thanks

Hi All,
Even i am facing same problem,in my case :
For example, we have finished product u2018Au2019 and components in BOM as B, C and D.Then following are the cases:
1.       If req. quantity for B is negative    -Getting warning message.
2.       If req. quantity for C is negative    -Getting warning message.
3.       If req. quantity for D is negative    -Not getting warning message.
Means if the last component is negative in req. quantity in the BOM, we are not getting the warning message.But if this is positive we are getting the message. I have tested for different scenarios and have changed the quantity sign from top to bottom in the BOM; I am getting the message even if the quantity has negative sign in the middle.please help me in this issue?
