Reserve stock in availability check

Dear Gurus
I have one requirement. I have searched forum but I didn't get anything which helps me.
I have a material A with 5 quantity in storage location 1064. When I create sale order of this material with 3 quantity system reserves this stock against this sale order.It will remain reserve until i reject this order. Thee are many open sale orders against which stock is reserved. I have to find out orders with VA05 and reject them. If i create new order of same material with 3 quantity system will only confirm 2.
My requirement is that when i press availability check button system should only check available stock, no stock reserve. When i create delivery system should copy available stock. In short there must be only availability check, No stock reservation.

Dear moazzamjii
My requirement is that when i press availability check button system should only check available stock, no stock reserve.
If this is your requirement you go to OVZ9 in that just flag the iinclude sales requirements in the in/out movements.
Check and revert
Thanks&Regards

Vendor Stock - MRP availability check

Hello,
in my current project, we would like to see the vendor stock in SAP. We would like to modelize it with purchase requisition or consignment stock on a specific storage location.
The problem is that we do not want to take in account this stock for MRP calculation. So it possible to exclude one storage location of MRP calculation (storage location MRP indicator in MRP4 view of material master). It is working.
But we you activate this setting, the availability check is not working anymore for this storage location for one production order. And we want that this vendor stock on this storage location is taken in account for material availability.
If anybody know how to activate availability check on production order when the flag "storage location excluded from MRP" is activated, do not hesitate to answear.
Thanks in advance

Consingement Stock during the availibility check

Dear All ,
During the availibility check I want to consider the customer consingment .
E.G if the plant level stock is 300 and customer consingement stock is 30 then the ATP quantity should be 330 wen i am performing the Availibility check ...
Pls help me in this regard
Thanks in advance
Regards
Satish

hi,
you cannot take into consideration the stock available at consignee for availability check. the consignment stock is treated as special stock unlike unrestricted.
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.
The following elements can be included in the availability check:
Stock
safety stock
stock in transfer
quality inspection
blocked stock

Reserve stock for a cost center & don't allow issue to another cost centre?

Dear Experts,
How to reserve stock for a cost center & don't allow issue to another cost centre?
Stock is reserved by creating reservation by MB21 for one cost centre e.g.CC1.
We want to restrict this stock for the same cost center CC1 only.
But when tried to issue stock to another cost center CC2, system allowed to post goods issue document.
System should not allow for goods issue of this stock to another cost center other than CC1.
How to make it.......please suggest.

I have checked
SPRO MM -- Inventory Management and Physical Inventory -- Reservation -- Maintain Copy Rules for Reference Documents
This is for reference document data copying.
Do you mean to say SPRO MM -- Inventory Management and Physical Inventory -- Reservation -- Set Dynamic Availability Check
Here for mvmt type 201 - valuation update - qty update - no special stock - Goods mvmt w/o reference - A (Dynamic Avl. chk) is the setting.
But system is not issuing the any message while issuing reserved stock to another cost center.
Please suggest...

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

Hope this is of some help.

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.

Reserved Stock information in MB52

Hello All,
Is it possible to have "Reserved Stock" information in MB52.
In MB52 Layouts / Line 1 - There is no "Reserved Stock" field available.
Can we bring this information to the layout? (like in MMBE).
Thanks in advance,
Siva

Hi,
Why SAP must have not provided this information in MB52?
This question is difficult to answer for us...sometimes SAP AG creates its software in a way that is not logical to all of us.
However, if you check "Plant stock" view in material master, you can see that "Reserved" is not mentioned. You can't find "On-order" stock also.
The explanation might be that these are not real stock types as someone already mentioned. If you start MMBE and umark checkbox "Also Select Stock Commitments" you won't get these data.
So, these are not real stock types, these pieces of information derive from transactional data (e.g. reservations, open PO).
So, it seems MMBE provides more than a normal stock report, it gives a little bit outlook to planning situation (e.g. scheduled for delivery, Consignment ordered are also not stock types but origin from transactional data).

Csaba

Difference between TOR & Availability check

Hi all,
what is difference between availability check & TOR?????
when i create sales order what TOR will do for the material & what availability check will do for the same material????? i hope my point is clear.
Pl dont paste configuration material .
Pt will rewarded accordingly

Dear Neil,
Before answering your question let me tell you that " pts will be rewarded " this word is against the forum rule, we all are here for helping each other and not for collecting "pts" .
now coming to your question, this is will tell you with an example of TAP and WATER. Till then TAP wont be Open Water wont come out from the TAP.
Similarly TOR and Availability check works. While creating the sales order the first thing is Requirement will pass to the MRP, i,e TOR will function. Then it will check the availability of the stock, means availability check will happen.
I hope its clear your doubt.
thanks,
Raja

Exclude stock reserved for production order from availability check

Hi Experts,
We have a problem in the availability check.
There is a material used as selling product and components in the same time.
When the material has been reserved completely for a production order, the new sales order still get confirmed despite there is no physical stock at all!
Please advise how to exclude the stock reserved for production order from the availability check in sales order? Many thanks!
Regards,
Qiang

Go to MM02 and check what availability check is maintained for that material. Next go to OVZ9, select that available check with the combination "A" and maintain "X" or "F" in the field "Incl.production orders".
thanks

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.

Availability check during reservation - MM

Hi Gurus,
We need to do availability check during the creation of reservation. The check to be made is like this,
The reservation quantity should be lesser or equal to sum of unrestricted stock plus all other open reservations.
If the above condition fails, issue an error message and not allow to create reservation.
I did create new checking rule, checking group and checked the required (may be missing something here) objects to be checked in config, but I still able to create reservation. No error message is displayed.
Gurus, could you send me a step by step for availability check? Also, need to issue a custom error message.
Thanks for your help.
Regards,
Sundar.

Hi
Go to transaction OMB1, there you will four options;
1. Movement Type
2. Checking Rule
3. Define Checking Rule
4. Transaction Code
Go to Movement Type & put Dynamic Availabilty Check either "B" or "F" against the movement type you want.
& accordingly go to checking rule & then go to Define Checking Rule of yours.
& then go to Transaction Code & the created Checking Rule to the Transaction Code MB21 & MB22.
Hope this solves your problem.
Reward points if useful.

Collective availability check stock transfer PO

Hi,
I'm looking for a transaction in order to do a collective availability check to stock transfer PO.
Is it possible? Can i have a missing parts reports with all the stock transfer PO??????
Thanks

Rakesh,
Here is how the system will behave.
Product A requires X and Y. For making A = 1000 EA, we need X = 1000 EA and Y = 1000 EA.
Stock of X = 1000 EA in unrestricted use. Stock of Y = 500 EA in unrestricted use.
Assumption:Scope of check will consider only the available on hand inventory
If we run MDVP, the committed qty for A will be 500 EA because it will consider the maximum possible qty that can be made with available stock.
In MF60, for both X and Y the reserved qty will be 500 EA. The balance 500 EA of X will not be reserved for this planned order because, it will not be of any use until you receive 500 EA additional of Y. System will have it open for other planned orders if any.
Hope this helps.

Sales order Availability check for Reservation

hi ,
When i create a sales order , it should check the availability also reserve the required quantity for the order
automatically. pls let me know the step by step process
mohan

Hello,
Availability check with ATP logic can only promise the amount of stock that can be delivered to the customer on a particular date, it cannot reserve the stock until the order the saved. But once you save the order the stock allocation is done automatically.
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.
The system will not allocate or reserve any stock of items until the order is saved.
