Schedule Line Category and Availability checks

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

Schedule line category and item category

Hi all,
Can some body explain what is the use and differences between Schedule line category and item category?
Where exactly they come into picture when a sales cycle is done? it would be very helpful.
Thanks in advance.
Manu

Hi,
SCHEDULE LINE CATEGORY:-
Schedule line Category determines the Schedule lines for the Line item, it will determine whether the Item is relevant for Delivery or not
Transfer of Requirements are also controlled
Availability check at the Sales order is controlled with the Indicator set at SCHEDULE LINES
For Third Party processing, the Purchase requisition is created based on the Setting at schedule lines
Together with the ITEM CATEGORY , the schedule lines determine whether the Transaction is Relevant for MRP or not In the Transaction code VOV5
ITEM CATEGORY:-
Item category is a significant part in processing the sales document
Item category determines whether particular item is relevant for Delivery ot not,
Whether item is relevant for the Billing
In Determine the Availability and TOR Item category plays an important role, for example the Availability check at DELIVERY will be taken place based on the DELIVERY ITEM CATEGORY
Some Fnctionalities like OUTPUT, TEXT, PARTNER, INCOMPLETION are controlled
DIP which in the ITEM CATEGORIES is the Main Integration Between SD and PS
Thanks,

Requirment class & Procedure for each schedule line category

Hi all,
In requirment class we have a switch on/off indicator for avai check and TOR.In define procedure for schedule line category also we have the same.
If I dont want the system to carry out availabilty check, I can switch off the indicator in requirment class or at schedule line category.
My question is why we have these indicators in 2 places.
It is written we can fine tune these settings at Define procedure for schedule line category settings
Could anyone explain in details with Business scenarious
Thanks in advance

Hi,
1. Availability check at Requirements Class level -
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.
2. Availability check at Schedule line category level -
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.
You can control with the schedule line category whether an availability check and
transfer of requirements should be carried out in the sales documents.
Note -
1. At the global requirements class level, the availability check can only be switched on in combination with the transfer of requirements. At schedule line level, the settings are proposed from the requirements class.
2. If the availability check is switched on at requirements class level, it can be switched off at schedule line level. However, you cannot switch on the availability check at schedule line level, if it is switched off at requirements class level. You can make this setting at schedule line level. But the system ignores it and the setting for the requirements class applies.
3. Also, at schedule line level when the availability check is switched on, the transfer of requirements can be switched off. For example, this makes sense for inquiries or sales information.
4. The settings specific to schedule lines for performing an availability check are only relevant for sales documents. In the shipping documents, the settings from the requirements class and the delivery item category are used. As with the schedule line category, the availability check can be switched off as required in the delivery item category.

Availability check box at schedule line level and requirement class level

Hi All
What is the significance of availability check field at schedule line level and requirement type level.
If I remove the check box at schedule line level, then there won't be any availability check carried out in the sales order, even though in requirement class it is checked. Is it for doing availability once the requirement is passed to MRP...
In make to stock scenario, no availability check is active at schedule line level.
scenario 1. stock is 0 in plant, when i place an order for 10 quantity, does system give any confirmed quantity on so and so date...or the confirmed quantity will be zero or as there is no availability check carried out, it confirms 10 quantity on customer requested delivery date and the time of creation of delivery, it gives an error message stating zero quantity is available. which one is correct in all the above.
In make to order scenario, no availability check is active at schedule line level.
order was created for 10 qty, as there is no availability check active, does the system give some date based on the lead times maintained in the material master or not?
Regards
Sree

Hi sreekar
The significance of availability check at schedule line level is to determine weather availability check and TOR should be carried out for sales orders or not.
If you remove check box at schedule line level , availability check and TOR wont be carried out at sales order level.
Coming to the scenario you said , make to stock , i think the availability check you are using is 01 make it 02. which is planned requirements. and stratergy group as 10. in MRP3 view in MMR. .
as the availability check u have put 01 & stratergy group as 10 availability check doesnt carry
coming to the scenario 2 , if the stock is 0 in plant and if you create a sales order, then the confirmed quantity should be 0 and that particular order will go to backorder processing.
sometimes it confirms the ordered quantity as the confirmed qunatity, and it gives a confiremed delivery date on which the stock is confirmed , but that date is a tentative date.
all these unconfirmed orders will go to backorders. once the qunatity is confirmed automatically , delivery date also will be done
Coming to scenario 3 , when you create MTO order there will be availability check checked at the schedule line level. can you tell wat is the schedule line you are getting is it CP or ND?
for schedule lines , ND - no availability check will be there , PD - availability check will be there
Note: plz check 1st the availability check you have entered in MMR , if it is 01 make it as 02. and then run these cycles.
Reward points if useful and if Any queries let me know

Schedule line and availibility check

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

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

Does BOP respect the availability check setting made in Schedule line category?

Hi Gurus,
Does BOP respect the settings made for availability check in schedule line category?
Thanks,
Nihar

Hi Sourabh,
In the Schedule line Category, we have an option Availability check right?
Business requirement is to suppress Availability check at schedule line category level, where Availability check box is not selected.
When I trigger availability check manually, the confirmation happens on the day requested & no additional schedule lines are created.
For the same order, if I run the BOP with the above settings made in schedule line category; order is confirmed & is checking against stock & lead time.
My question is: Online ATP respect the availability check setting made in schedule line category. Does BOP respects the same as Online ATP?
I hope I was clear!
Thanks,
Nihar

Credit exposure and the Schedule line category

Hi,
I have a problem in credit exposure update in FD33.When I use the schedule line category xx which has req/Assembly marked in schedule line category settings is updating the sales order values in Fd33 even if the sales order (while creating) is blocked due to credit.
Whereas I use the schedule line category YY which has req/Assembly not marked in schedule line category settings is not updating the sales order values in Fd33 if the sales order(while creating) is blocked due to credit.
Is this the standard behavior? If so Why.
Regards
Babu

Hi Babu,
Yes, this is a standard behavior.
Please refer to note 393304.
If the flag "transfer of requirements" is not set, that means that credit-blocked order won´t update credit values.
In this document has a complete explanation regarding this proceeding.
I hope it can help you.

Question on Schedule Line category in Sales Order not relevant to MRP

Hi experts,
I want to know whether the sales order having any schedule line category like CP, CN, etc will not be relevant for MRP. In other words, If I do the MRP run for the Sales Order Requiremnt having any Schedule Line Category in particular will not generate any procurement proposals like Planned order/ Purchase Requisitions. Please advice me on the same.
Regards
Brijesh

Dear Brijesh,
Please find some info related to scheduled lines below,
The various schedule line categories are controlled in different ways:
The schedule line AT in inquiries is used only for information.
No requirements are transferred and no availability check is carried out for the schedule lines BN and CN.
Requirements are transferred and the availability of the material is checked for the schedule lines BP and CP.
No stocks are managed for the schedule line categories BT, CT and CX. No goods issue is posted for the categories BT and CT. However, goods issue is posted for CX.
The schedule line categories BV and CV are controlled in the same manner as the categories BN and CN. However, requirements can be passed on for analysis purposes.
Goods receipt is posted for the schedule line DN in a returns document.
The schedule line categories CN, CP, CT, and CV are relevant for delivery; the other schedule line categories are not.
*Control Elements for Schedule Line Categories
Different schedule line categories are permitted according to the sales document type and item category you are using. You can use control elements to tailor the schedule line categories to meet the special demands of your installation. You can also define new schedule line categories.
Hope this helps.
Thanks

Schedule Line Category change-USER EXIT

REQUIREMENT:
When saving a SALES ORDER, Change the schedule line category on the SALES ORDER from CP(Standard Availability Check) to CS(Third Party Processing u2013Trigger Purchase Requisition)
Initially when we create the SALES ORDER, we have Schedule line category CP to generate schedule lines based on stock availability
SO Date- 09/14/2010
Schedule line 0001--- 09/14/2010 --- Confirmed Qty (0) --- Sched Line Categ(CP)
Schedule line 0002--- 09/16/2010 --- Confirmed Qty (1) --- Sched Line Categ(CP)
Config Change: We have changed the Schedule line category- CS to turn off Purchase Order Scheduling (Indicator turned off--P.req.del.scheduling)so that when we change the schedule line category, no PO scheduling happens again
Our requirement is that when saving the sales order, we want to change both the schedule lines item category-0001/0002 from CP to CS
SO Date- 09/14/2010
Schedule line 0001--- 09/14/2010 --- Confirmed Qty (0) --- Sched Line Categ(CS)
Schedule line 0002--- 09/16/2010 --- Confirmed Qty (1) --- Sched Line Categ(CS)
After saving the order, a Purchase Requisition is generated for the Schedule Line 0002..
MY QUESTION:
Is this possible using the BAPI_SALESORDER_CHANGE without changing the dates on the schedule lines or deleting any schedule line
Thanks
