Repetitive Manufacturing - Availability Check

Hi,
I have some problems with availability check. I have defined "Planning with final assembly" as Strategy Group in the material. When I create an order there is always Availability although there is no stock and no planned orders. In addition to this, the quantity is always confirmed.
Can somebody tell me how can I give availability and confirm quantity just if there is stock or if there are planned orders?
Thank you!!

Hi there,
make corosponding settings in availability check (shop floor control-master data-operations)and create a new checking rule create scope of check of Individual req. in that select what ever stock in inward out ward movement you want to consider.
this you can also do in MRP-PROCUREMEN PROPOSAL-PLANNED ORDR-DEFINE AVAILABILITY CHECK.
i hope this will help you

Options on BOM component backflushing (Repetitive Manufacturing)

We are in the process of implementing Repetitive Manufacturing and we would like some insight regarding BOM
component backflushing.
Our requirements:
1) In a scenario with insufficient unrestricted component stock the entire transaction should be stopped, including the
Goods Receipt of the assembly. We do not want backlogs generated and we do not want a correction dialog box. We
only want the GI of component stock to happen for exactly the exploded BOM quantity or not at all.
2) No opportunity should be given for the end user to modify the GI quantity of the BOM components even if there are
errors.
Unfortunately I have not found a combination of configuration settings in the repetitive manufacturing profile that can
completely satisfy those requirements. Several settings have come close or give us other means of controlling the
process but none have been a perfect fit. We've also looked into setting the stock deficit message (M7021) to "E" but
we are worried about compromising other processes with that approach.
Can you please let us know what, if anything, we are overlooking and what options are available to us to meet these
requirements?

Dear Prasad,
1.Check in the REM profile whether the check box for error correction in dialog mode is mandatory.
2.Check for this authorization object,under the main object C_BACKFL,check for this object BF_POST ,check whether the tick mark
is for all these values.1 Post without correction
2 Display BOM/routing
3 Change BOM/routing
Better not include the tick mark for option 3 and i hope this will solve your problem,
Check and revert

Stock confiramtion at sales order level for future date- Availability Check

Hi all
Here is the scenario
This setting is available in the system:
Stock is available
Sales order created with Requested delivery date in future-> not confirmed
Sales order created with Requested del date today -> confirmed
The requirement :
how and where to change this setting in IMG so that also orders with Requested Delivery Date in future are confirmed if stock is available.
As this is urgent request to respond quickly.
Regards
Devender

Hello Devender,
You can achieve the mentioned scenario by configuring ATP. You can do ATP with RLT or ATP without RLT.
In ATP with RLT, system will check and confirm the quantities from existing stock only and if quantities are insufficient then the system will consider inline POs or manufacturing time to confirm remaining quantitites.
Else you will be getting schedule lines for only items in stock and remaining will be unconfirmed as ATP without RLT will be activated i.e., system will check and confirm the quantities from existing stock only.
Types of Availability Check in Sales and Distribution
Processing
There are three types of availability check:
_ Check on the basis of the ATP quantities
_ Check against product allocation
_ Check against planning
The following SD-specific control features need to be maintained in Customizing:
_ Checking group
The checking group controls whether the system is to create individual or collective
requirements in sales and shipping processing. In addition, a material block for the
availability check with transfer of requirements can be set here. The checking group can
also be used to deactivate the availability check. This option was created especially for
the assembly order so that when the bill of material is exploded in the assembly order,
the individual components, if necessary, can be classified as non-critical parts as far as
procurement is concerned.
The checking group specifies in combination with the checking rule the scope of the
availability check. It is proposed in the material master record on the basis of the material
type and the plant, and copied into the sales and distribution documents.
_ Checking Rule
You use the checking rule to control the scope of the availability check for each
transaction in sales and distribution. You also specify whether the check should be
carried out including or excluding replenishment lead time. The individual checking rules
define by transaction, which stock and inward and outward movement of goods should
be taken into account for the availability check.
_ Schedule line category
You can control with the schedule line category whether an availability check and
transfer of requirements should be carried out in the sales documents. The possible
settings for this at schedule line level are dependent on the settings in the requirements
class which is determined from the requirements type of the material.
_ Delivery item category
The delivery item category can be used to control whether an availability check takes
place in deliveries.
Requirements type
The various requirements are identified by their requirements type. The requirements
type refers to the requirements class and its control features.
_ Requirements Class
The requirements class contains all control features for planning such as relevance for
planning, requirements planning strategy and requirements consumption strategy. In
addition, it is specified at a global level whether an availability check is to take place for
the material in the sales and distribution documents on the basis of the ATP quantity
(ATP = available to promise) and whether requirements are to be passed on. A finer
degree of control can be obtained for sales documents using the schedule line category.
Replenishment lead time is only included in the check performed on the basis of the
ATP quantity.
Prerequisites
An availability check can only be carried out if the following prerequisites have been fulfilled:
_ The control elements described above for the availability check must be maintained in
Customizing for Sales and the relevant assignments made to the sales transactions
_ The availability check must be switched on at requirements class level and - for the
availability check in the sales documents - at schedule line category level
A requirements type must exist by which the requirements class can be found
_ A plant must be defined. It can either be proposed from the customer or material master
record or can be entered manually in the document.
_ A checking group must be defined in the material master record on the Sales/plant data
screen in the Availability check field
Configuring entries of the Availability Check
IMGSDBasic fncsAvailability check and TORAvailability checkAvailability check with ATP logic or against planningDefine checking groups
You can use SAP std checking groups of 01 for summarized reqts or 02 for daily reqts or u can create ur own.
The columns total sales and total deliveries are selection options whereby u can configure a checking rule to sum up reqts to post to MRP either individually or by day or week.
Column 5, Block qty; set this block if u want several users to be able to process the material simultaneously in different transactions without blocking each other. The No Check indicator is used when u want a material to not be relevant for an ATP check.
Defining a material block for other users. The Block checkbox is an indicator that enables u to block the particular material from being checked for availability if it is already being checked at the same time by another user.
Defining the default value for checking groups. However should no entry exist for the checking group in the material master record, one can set a default value per material type and plant.
Controlling the availability check. In this section, u 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. 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 sd transaction. The carry out control for the availability check must be maintained for both the sales order and delivery.
Reward points if helpful.

Availability check of raw material during sale order processing

Dear experts,
When i am entering the finished good in sale order processing,system should check the raw material availabilty.Is it possible in STD sap
Regards,
murali.R

thanks to you all for your reply,
My customer is bright bar manufacturer,They just buy the steel bar & process it & sell it to the customer.So there is only one RAW MATERIAL.
Their all the activities are mainly based on raw material.So customer wants.....when we enter the finished good system should check the RM stock,based on RM STOCK,sytem should do the availability check...& confirm the delivery date
I have mapped customer requirement,after modifying item category & assignment......
Sales BOM explosion & delivery group is maintained for header material.availability check is on at component level & header level.So now system consider the raw material stock & it conform the dates when i do availability check combinely.
I would like to know how it will affet the MRP incase of alternative BOM....FURTHER PROCESSING
Is it the right practise.....Please reply...............

Availability Check at Multiple Plants for the Sales Order line Item.

Hi Friends,
We are having two plants, Plant A and Plant B. Plant A is used to issue the orders to the vendors and stock them, while Plant B is used to manufacture the Product and Stock.
When we create the sales order, we want to check the Current Stock Plus Incomming Purchase order stock for plant A and also check current stock plus Production orders in plant B.
for ex if the current stock is 100 in Plant A and No physical stock in Plant B but there are some production orders for 400 Qty which will be ready in 1 week.
If i create a sales order for 500 qty which is scheduled for delivery 10 days later. then we want to commit to the customer ( Looking at both the plants stock situation ) the system should check the stock availability for both the plants and automatically create two different line items , Line item 1 for plant A and line item 2 for plant b.
I know there is a user exit for Multiple plant selection USEREXIT_PLANT_SELECTION in program RV03VFZZ. The Description of the USer exit says ( This user exit may be used to provide a list of plants for which availability is to be checked) But we have never used this one. Will this user exit do exactly what i want ??
Did any of you, have used the above User exit in your implementations ? If so please let me know whats the purpose of this user exit
Your reply is much appreciated.
Thanks & Regards
Srinivas

Hi
I dont know about the userexit which you are referring about
But this is not available in R3 The system makes a Availability Check only in the plant which has got determined in the item details shipping tab and stops there
The same is available in APO
If there are 2 plants say 1000 and 2000
In sales order the plant determined is 1000 and there is no stock
In R3 system stops there
But in APO system checks the plant 2000 and if stocks are available it creates an STO in the background automatically from 2000 to 1000 if configured accordingly
Even if the material is maintained in 10 plants the system will make a Availability Check at all 10 plants and act accordingly

In Process Inspection for Repetitive Manufacturing

Hi All,
I'm trying to perform in-process inspection for repetitive manufacturing. I have a semi finished material which has the inspection type 13 activated in the material master. Rate routing for it has also been created. Characteristics have been assigned to its operation and the routing is attached to a production version. When I o to MFPR to create a lot, I specify the material, plant and production version with QM active (tried the other 2 options as well) but when I execute, nothing shows up in the list. When I click on create inspection lot, it says, "either select versions or place cursor on versions now" but there's nothing in the list?
Regards,
Bilal

Hi,
Please check whether the repetitive manufacturing check box and REM profile is defined in the MRP4 of material master.
Please define that and try to run the transaction MFPR.
It should solve your problem

Repetitive manufacturing:backflush

Dear experts,
At my client place , repetitive manufacturing scenario is there.
While doing back flush, I am facing an error "Argument 1061 not contained in table T437D"
"Message no. RM001"
Please guide me where I am going wrong in customisation.

Dear Sameer,
check for this 2 settings,
SPRO-Production-Repetitive Manufacturing-Planning-Define scheduling parameters for Planned orders (OPU5),Check
*whether for order type * or for order type PE - Run Schedule*Quantity for Plant RA01 whether you have maintained the
relevant required parameters.
Then also in SPRO-Production-Repetitive Manufacturing-Planning - Planning Table-Maintain distribution for Planning
table whether you maintained the setting for the plantRA01.
Once after doing this setting,it gets updated in table T437D.

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".

Sales order availability check considering the ROH stock/procurement time

Hi Gurus,
Our client's Production process requires the availability check at order level to consider the procurement time required for the Rawmaterial (BOM component of the FERT, whose sales order is taken) in cases when this RM is not available in the plant, and Availability check should not consider this procurement time when this RM is available in the plant.
ie in first case, it should consider the total time for in-house production as well as the time required to procure the rawmaterials, along with all other times that we use like Gr processing time, packing picking etc.
In second case it should not consider the RM procurement time, but only the inhouse production time and other times as applicable.
To my understanding, Availability check at order level will only check the time given in the MRP view of the FERT, and it does not check anything about RM stock or RM procurement time.
Can you please give me some suggestions to meet this requirement of the client (client is into Food Product Manufacturing).
Your quick response will be very helpful
Thanks
Jobi

Jobi,
Our client is not following Assemble to order or even make to order. The typical production process followed is neither make to order nor make to stock.
Understood, although I am not sure why you are telling me what he has today; since your client has already told you his existing solution is unsatisfactory. I have described a solution that seems to meet the short list of business requirements that you described in your first post. I suggest you offer this solution to your client, unless he has already told you that ATO is not acceptable for some other reason not mentioned in your post.
As already mentioned by the other experts Saurabh and Kiran and Mariano, the requested functionality in general is not supported for MTS in standard ECC. As always, anything is possible through enhancement or 'workaround', as long as the client has enough time and money, and you have sufficient skills to implement.
If the client is willing to implement APO, which is the standard SAP advanced planning system, such a solution (multi-level availability checking with MTS) is possible as standard. Within the Global Available To Promise Module of APO there are a couple of ways to get at this type of ATP solution.

Repetitive manufacturing

I have a knowledge question regarding collective entry of confirmations using repetitive manufacturing u2013 transaction MF42N.
Is there an option to get data from planning table (MF50) pre-selected to simplify final backflushing such as:
Preselect all planned orders (PE) of a defined plant for a pre-selected planned production date or all materials with planned orders for a defined planned production date shall be pre-selected.
I donu2019t see an option to preselect open planned orders for backflushing .
I only see the option to manually enter either material or planned order for each single planned quantity from planning table.
It is vital for the central kitchen food production process to be as simple as possible.
Whatever can be pre-selected improves usability of this process for Retailers significantly.

sandeep

Hi,
Your thought of having pre-select data like Planned Orders (PE) for a particular period in MF42N is really a good one... but I don't see any user exit/anything available for this.
But this could be achieved by developing a custom report, in which you can first fetch data like Planned Orders for a particular period and then provide those details to MF42N through a BAPI.
Again not sure how feasible it would be...

Repetitive Manufacturing Profiles

Hi Experts,
i have a question about REM profile:
in the repetitive manufacturing profile (REM profile) that we want to post activities,
what was the difference beetwen standard cost estimate for material and preliminary cost estimate for the product cost collector in sales order related production,
what is the result of each selection in sales order related production and which setting is recommended for this case,
I would be highly appriciated if you can respond in detail.
Your help would be appreciated.
Thanks.
Azam

Dear Azam,
1. If in the REM profile if the radio button is selected against standard cost estimate,then while doing
backflushing the system picks up the standard cost estimate of the material from the material master and
confirmations are made & variances are calculated.That's CK40N is to be carried out periodically.
If there's no standard cost estimate for a material means then you cant do the confirmation in MFBF.
2. If in the REM profile if the radio button is selected against preliminary cost estimate means while creating
the product cost collector for a material and saving means then based on this cost itself confirmations can
be made in MFBF,no need to carryout the costing run in CK40N.You can see any standard cost of the
material in the material master in costing 2 view.
3. In the case of Make to Order scenario as per to my knowledge based on preliminary cost estimate it self
we can do the confirmation.
4. Please check these links [Standard Price with Valuated Sales Order Stocks |http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp60_sp/helpdata/en/90/ba63e7446711d189420000e829fbbd/frameset.htm]

Availability Check on Subcontract Component

We have a one to one ratio of component (B) to Finished Goods (A) ratio for our BOM quantity. PO is for 15 ea of Material A.
There is only 12 ea of Material B at the vendor. System allows me to Post Goods Receipt all 15 Material A without any error message.
Is there any availability check of subcontract components during GR? I was hoping the system would suggest that I only need to receive 12 ea.
Thanks.

Hi,
As you have told that there is one to one ratio b/w component (B) and FG (A). It means if you create a PO for 15 qty of A then system will automatically copy 15 qty of B in "Components" tab of PO from BOM.
And you will transfer 15 qty of B to Subcontractor. (MB1B - 541 mvmt)
So at the time of GR, system will propose 15 qty of A as well as B.
But, if you will change the qty of A or B after clciking on "BOM Explostion" button then it will allow to change you the qty of A and B and will not give you any message since it is the facility provided by SAP. In case if your FG got manufactured in less qty then you have that faclility to change the qty of components in MIGO.
If you want system to change the component (B) qty on the basis of receipt qty of FG (A)as per the BOM then first change Qty. in Unit of Entry for FG (A) at "Item Details" level and then click on "Explode BOM" button at "Item Overview" level. It will propose qty of B as per BOM.

What is availability check concept how it is used in SAP

hi friends,
i don't know what is availity check,how is it used and how it should be configured,please help me.

Availability Check in Sales and Distribution Processing
There are three types of availability check:
     Check on the basis of the ATP quantities
     Check against product allocation
     Check against planning
In Customizing, you determine whether an availability check is to be carried out against the ATP quanitity or against planning. The check against product allocations is controlled in the material master and elsewhere in the system.
Check on the Basis of the ATP Quantities
The ATP quantity (ATP = Available To Promise) is calculated from the warehouse stock, the planned inward movements of stock (production orders, purchase orders, planned orders) and the planned outward movements of stock (sales orders, deliveries, reservations). This type of check is performed dynamically for each transaction, taking into account the relevant stock and planned goods movements with or without replenishment lead time. Planned independent requirements are not taken into account here.
Check against Product Allocation
Product allocation facilitates period-based distribution of products for certain customers or regions. As of Release 3.0F, you can carry out an availability check against product allocation. This ensures, for example, that when production is low, the first customer does not get the full amount, resulting in following sales orders not being confirmed or being confirmed far too late.
Check against planning
The check against planning is performed against independent requirements which are usually created for an anonymous market rather than being customer-specific (for example, in the strategy Planning without assembly, when production occurs only up to the stocking level). The planned independent requirements result from demand program planning and are used for planning expected sales quantities independent of orders
Controlling the Availability Check in Sales and Distribution Processing
You control the availability check using general and SD-specific control features.
General Control Features
The following control elements need to be maintained in Customizing and in the material master record:
     Strategy group
The allowed planning strategies (main strategy and further possible strategies) are combined in the strategy group. As of Release 3.0, the strategy group is specified in the material master record in the MRP 1 Screen. In Customizing, strategy groups are assigned, dependent on plant, to MRP groups. If the strategy group is missing in the material master record, it is determined on the basis of the MRP group, if it has been maintained.
Up to Release 3.0, the strategy group is determined on the basis of the MRP group
     MRP group
The MRP group combines materials from the point of view of material requirements planning. This enables you to control planning for these materials in a particular way using, for example, the strategy group, consumption mode and planning period. You enter the MRP group in the material master in the MRP 1 screen. The strategy group is determined from the MRP group.
     Planning Strategy
The planning strategy specifies the requirements type for planning and customer requirements. This represents the decisive control feature for the interaction between Production Planning and Sales and Distribution.
     MRP type and item category
If no requirements type is found using the planning strategy, the system tries to determine a corresponding requirements type on the basis of the MRP type and the item category.
Until 3.0C, determination of the requirements type via planning strategy has taken priority. This is not always the best option, however, as the following example will show. A requirements type is determined for a material, which causes availability to be checked against planning. In consignment stock processing, however, availability should be checked against stock. Until 3.0C the availability check had to be deactivated in these cases. As of Release 3.0C, you can determine how the requirements type is to be determined for each transaction by maintaining the Source field in Determination of requirement types using transaction in Customizing.
     Requirements type
The various requirements are identified by their requirements type. The requirements type refers to the requirements class and its control features.
     Requirements Class
The requirements class contains all control features for planning such as relevance for planning, requirements planning strategy and requirements consumption strategy. In addition, it is specified at a global level whether an availability check is to take place for the material in the sales and distribution documents on the basis of the ATP quantity (ATP = available to promise) and whether requirements are to be passed on. A finer degree of control can be obtained for sales documents using the schedule line category.
Control Features Specific to Sales and Distribution
The following SD-specific control features need to be maintained in Customizing:
     Checking group
The checking group controls whether the system is to create indivdual or collective requirements in sales and shipping processing. In addition, a material block for the availability check with transfer of requirements can be set here. The checking group can also be used to deactivate the availability check. This option was created especially for the assembly order so that when the bill of material is exploded in the assembly order, the individual components, if necessary, can be classified as non-critical parts as far as procurement is concerned.
The checking group specifies in combination with the checking rule the scope of the availability check. It is proposed in the material master record on the basis of the material type and the plant, and copied into the sales and distribution documents.
     Checking Rule
You use the checking rule to control the scope of the availability check for each transaction in sales and distribution. You also specify whether the check should be carried out including or excluding replenishment lead time. The individual checking rules define by transaction, which stock and inward and outward movement of goods should be taken into account for the availability check.
     Schedule line category
You can control with the schedule line category whether an availability check and transfer of requirements should be carried out in the sales documents. The possible settings for this at schedule line level are dependent on the settings in the requirements class which is determined from the requirements type of the material.
     Delivery item category
The delivery item category can be used to control whether an availability check takes place in deliveries.
Prerequisites
An availability check can only be carried out if the following prerequisites have been fulfilled:
     The control elements described above for the availability check must be maintained in Customizing for Sales and the relevant assignments made to the sales transactions
     The availability check must be switched on at requirements class level and - for the availability check in the sales documents - at schedule line category level
     A requirements type must exist by which the requirements class can be found
     A plant must be defined. It can either be proposed from the customer or material master record or can be entered manually in the document.
     A checking group must be defined in the material master record on the Sales/plant data screen in the Availability check field
Timing of the Availability Check in Sales and Distribution Processing
When you create an order, the system determines the required materail availability date on the basis of the customers requested delivery date. On this date, you must begin picking, packing, labeling, and loading the goods. Therefore, this is the date of significance for requirements planning on which the availability should be checked.
The following data is required for determining this date:
     Route from the shipping point to the ship-to party location
     Shipping point from which the goods are issued
     Loading group from the material master record
     Weight group determined from the order using the order quantity
Scheduling
This data, which you have already entered in the system, means that scheduling can occur automatically. Since scheduling is carried out backwards from the requested delivery date, it is also called backward scheduling. If backward scheduling determines that the preparation for the shipping activities should have been started already to meet the customer's requested delivery date, the system then starts forward scheduling automatically from the current date.
Scope of the Availability Check in Sales and Distribution Processing
The following elements can be included in the availability check:
     Stock
o     safety stock
o     stock in transfer
o     quality inspection
o     blocked stock
     Inward/Outward movement of goods
o     purchase orders
o     purchase requisitions
o     planned orders
o     production orders
o     reservations
o     dependent reservations
o     dependent requirements
o     sales requirements
o     delivery requirements
Requirements in sales and distribution (sales requirements and delivery requirements) result from all transactions which forward a requirement to Materials Management (MM) or to Production Planning (PP). For example, this could include sales orders or deliveries and quotations as well. Sales and distribution requirements reduce existing stock or inward movements of stock on the material availability date to ensure that other outward movement of stock elements cannot access the quantity reserved in this way.
Requirements relevant for Sales and distribution are created in Sales and Distribution, whereas other elements in this list are created in Materials Management or in Production Planning.
Defining the Elements to be Included in Check
A checking rule is assigned to each transaction. This rule in combination with the checking group controls the scope of the availability check. You can use the checking rules in Customizing for Sales to specify for the various transactions which of the elements listed above should be included in the availability check.
For trading goods it does not make sense to include planned or production orders, for example, in the availability check. However, for products manufactured by your company these orders should be included in the check.
For transactions such as make-to-order production, consignment or returnable packaging processing that create special stock, the availability check is performed against special stock.
If it is defined by the checking rules that both sales and delivery requirements are taken into account in the availability check in sales documents but only delivery requirements are taken into account in the availability check in deliveries, there is a danger that quantities reserved in the sales documents are considered to be available by the availability check in the deliveries. This can lead to sales documents becoming backlogged.
Reactions to the Availability Check in Sales Documents
If the goods ordered by the customer are not available on the requested date, the system branches automatically during sales document processing to a further screen where delivery proposals are offered for selection. The system determines these proposals on the basis of the availability situation. This screen also provides you with information on the scope of the check, the current ATP quantity, and the availability situation across all plants.
Availability Control
On the Availability Control screen, you can choose between the following delivery proposals:
     One-time delivery on the requested delivery date
In this section, the system checks whether the requested delivery date can be kept to. If stock of the material is available to make a delivery on the requested delivery date, the stock quantity is confirmed here. If there is no stock available, confirmed quantity zero is displayed.
To copy this data into the sales document, select Edit One-time delivery.
     Complete delivery
In this section, the system checks whether there will be sufficient stock for complete delivery at a later date:
o     If there is sufficient stock available at a later date to cover the required quantity in the sales document, the system proposes the date here.
o     If the system determines that complete delivery cannot be made at a later date, no date is proposed in this section.
When availability is checked including replenishment lead time, the date which is proposed in this section is the date on which the replenishment lead time period ends if the stock before the end of replenishment lead time does not cover the order quantity.
When availability is checked excluding replenishment lead time, the system bases its calculations on the stock and the planned inward movements of stock.
To copy this data into the sales document, select Edit Complete delivery
     Delivery proposal
In this section, the system checks whether and for which dates partial deliveries can be made. Partial deliveries are displayed for different dates. These dates are based on the planned inward and outward movements of stock.
During an availability check which takes replenishment lead time into account, the date on which replenishment lead time ends is displayed if insufficient stock means that no partial deliveries can be made before replenishment lead time ends.
During an availability check which does not take replenishment lead time into account, the system displays the dates on which partial deliveries can be made with the available stock.
To copy this proposal into the sales document, select Edit Delivery proposal
The dates displayed in the sections complete delivery and delivery proposal are determined from the material availability date using forward scheduling and represent actual delivery dates.
Availability Across Plants
You can display the availability situation in the various plants for which a material is maintained. To do this, proceed as follows:
1.     Select Goto Other plants on the availability control screen.
The dialog box Plant Selection appears. All plants for which the material is maintained are displayed.
2.     Mark the plants in which you want to check availability and select Check plants.
You reach the Availability Check: Overview screen. The requirements quantity and the quantity which could be confirmed as well as some additional information is displayed in a separate line for each plant you selected.
3.     If you require detailed information on the availability check for a particular line, select the relevant line and select Edit Check availability.
You reach the Date proposals dialog box where the detailed data is displayed.
4.     You can select a plant with sufficient quantity for confirmation to be copied automatically into the Overview screen. Select the appropriate line and select Edit Copy plant.
Using the user exit USEREXIT_PLANT_SELECTION in the Include LV03VFZZ you can make a preselection of the allowed plants. If you use this option, the Plant selection dialog box does not appear and the availability check is performed immediately for the allowed plants. If, on the basis of information resulting from the availability check, you want to deliver from a plant other than the one specified in the item, you must at present enter this plant manually in the item. In a later release, however, you will be able to select the plant directly from the list of plants.
Displaying the ATP Quantities
If you want to display the current ATP situation on the availability control screen, select Goto Availability overview.
Displaying the Scope of the Check
If you want to display the scope of the check (stock and inward/outward movements of goods taken into account during the availability check) from the availability control screen, select Goto Scope of check.
Delivery Agreements in the Customer Master Record
A customer may react in different ways to the fact that a complete delivery can not be provided for the required delivery date. You can define in the customer master record, the way a customer reacts to the inability to meet the requirements represented by the key data.
     The customer wants complete delivery of all items by the requested delivery date or at a later date.
The complete delivery indicator is copied into the sales document from the customer master record. To find it, select Header Business data on an overview screen or a header screen. You find the indicator in the Shipping section.
If the complete delivery indicator is set in the sales document, the individual items are automatically correlated when the document is saved if the schedule lines exist for various dates (that is, a delivery group is automatically created for the sales document items and the latest delivery date within this group becomes the group delivery date). For further information on delivery groups, see Combining Sales Document Items for Delivery.
     The customer only allows a certain number of partial deliveries for each item.
The partial delivery indicator and the number of partial deliveries are copied into the sales document item from the customer master record. To find the indicators:
1.     Go to the Business Data screen for this item.
2.     Select Edit Shipping details.
The indicators are found in the Shipping section.
Performing the Availability Check Again
Usually, an availability check is only performed when a sales document is created. If quantities or dates are changed in the document and availability needs to be checked again, the check is performed again automatically . However, you can also initiate an availability check manually.
Automatic Checks
In the following situations, a new availability check is automatically carried out:
     Quantity change
     Date change (requested delivery date, material availability date)
     Change to the fixed data
     After new delivery scheduling (for example, the route or shipping point has been changed)
     Change of plant
     Change of storage location or batch
     Removal of blocks which affect requirements
     Removal of reasons for rejection
Initiating a Check Manually
In the sales document, you can initiate a new availability check manually. If you want to perform an availability check for all items in a sales document, select Sales document Check availability on the header screen. If you want to check availability for an individual item, select Edit Item availability.
Fixing Quantities and Dates in Sales Documents
If the availability check for an item determines that the item cannot be delivered fully on the requested delivery date, and, as a result one or more schedule lines have to be created for later delivery dates, the customer can decide whether to accept these delivery dates and quantities.
You can record the customer's decision either by setting an indicator in the Fixed date and qty field or by leaving this field blank. The field is displayed both on the schedule line overview screen and on the availability screen.
Customer Accepts the Schedule Line Proposal
If the customer accepts the schedule lines which are proposed by the system, mark the Fixed date and qty field. The system then transfers the requirements for the schedule lines to material requirements planning.
Customer Requires Goods Earlier
If the customer requires the goods earlier than the date that the system can confirm after the availability check, leave the Fixed date and qty field blank. The system then only passes on the requirements for the requested delivery date and does not take the quantities and dates confirmed by the system after the availability check into account. In this case, it is assumed that the requested delivery date can be kept to because, for example, additional production capacity may become free. The system only confirms the sales order once the entire order quantity can be delivered on the requested delivery date. In the subsequent delivery processing, the sales order is only considered to be completed when the entire order quantity has been delivered or when all partial delivery agreements have been fulfilled.
A fixed item is considered to be completed once the entire confirmed quantity (which can be smaller than the originally requested order quantity)has been delivered. Therefore, it does not make sense to fix the confirmed quantity to 0 as the item is considered to be completed from the start.
During rescheduling, the fixed quantities and dates are no longer taken into account.
Blocking Confirmation of Quantities in Sales Documents
In Customizing, using Block transfer of requirements by delivery block, you can specify that certain delivery blocks in the sales document header also block the confirmation of order quantities.
If you enter such a delivery block in a sales order header, the system confirms the available quantity to show you the delivery options. If you save the document, however, the confirmed quantities are not saved. Your company could block confirmation for a customer if this customer's credit worthiness was questionable. The sales order in this case is not only classed as unconfirmed, it is also blocked for delivery.
Thus, no stock is reserved. The stock is still available for other customers. Although the order quantities are not confirmed, the system still transfers the requirements to material requirements planning. It is assumed that the delivery block will be removed at some point. The automatic transfer of requirements means that the order quantity can be confirmed at a later point in time
