Subcontracting availibility check on make to order stock

Dear All,
I have a material let's say 'X' which with a BOM/routing which includes a subcontracting step of material "Y" which is a also a make to stock item. When I create a sales order for material X and run a Plannings run I first produce material Y. Because it's a make to order item the stock it will be customer specific stock. The next step is to send material Y away to the subcontrator, in order to complete material X. However when a create a subcontracting PO and wants to delivery it via transaction ME2O I get the error message that there is no stock available. The reason for this is that teh availibilty check doesn't check the Make to order stock quantities.
I have treid several option but i am Not able to let sap to check the make to order stock when creating a subcontracting delivery. What I am missing or is this not supported by standard SAP?
Thanks in advance.

Dear All,
Thanks for your replies but it doesn't solve my problem because when creating a delivery SAP still uses the normal availability check (B) and not the client specific availability check (BE).
Just for the clarification the underlying material is a client specific item (with special stock indicator E) that needs to be send to the subcontractor. However the administrative stock of this material is stored as client specific and won't be picked up when we make a subcontracting delivery because the standard process use availability check B instead of BE.
Like I mentioned maybe it is not foreseen in the standard functionality.

Availability check in make to order

Hi,
Iam in the process of configuring sales order process for one of my finnish customer. The scenario is make to order. Few things are troubling me. I need to know how is the availablity check is done in case of make to order scenario. questions are as follows-
a) The stock is not available since it will be made as and when sales order is created and requirements t/f to PP/MM. So there is no point in switching on availability check in sales order. Only TOR shud be switched on for sales order schedule line. If availibility check is switched off , then there will be no delivery/transport scheduling too or I think i need to switch off delivery/transport shceduling seprarately too since there is no point in calculation of material availability date............ Am i right ?
If you disagree, then why AC needs to be swithced on and what ATP settings shud be flagged( i mean sales requirments, opening stock, planned stock etc) !
b) If you agree that AC needs to be switched off, then how is the stock confirmed in sales order. Is it after production order is made and then the schedule lines are confirmed.
c) If one agrees on both points a and b, then if my customer wants a delivery date after creating a sales order, then how the system will calculate the delivery date in sales order since availibility check and delivery schdeuling both are switched off.

Hi,
If you carry out ATP in MTO,
system will give you probable date of material available date,confirm date,schedule date,
it will not confirm material immediately and give schedule line as like STO.

How to make material availability check work during Work Order creation

Hi Experts,
Kindly advice about these matters:
1. How to make material availability check work during Work Order creation?
My requirement is Work Order can not be created when it has missing parts. I have set the config to '3' can not created when is has missing parts, but it still does not work.
I have implemented SAP Notes 1148139 on my system (SAP ECC 6 Ehp 5) also, but still does not have any effect.
I must not set the config Res./Purch Doc creation to 'immediately', because it does not fit to my user requirement. Is there anyone knows how to solve this requirement?
2. How to make information message/ Availability check screen appear when sparepart is missing, without clicking Availability Check button? for example: appear when clicking Save button.
Thank you

Hi Maheswaran,
I have implement the prerequisite notes. (Notes 790219 and 1034962). Do you know why it is still does not work?

Availability check in Enjoy Purchase Order & Requisition

Hi Experts,
The availability check is used in 4.7E also but what is difference in Ecc 6.0 or new functionality added
Can any one plz let me know
Regards
Pratap

Below is capture from sap release documentation :
Availability Check in Enjoy Purchase Order and Requisition
(Changed)
Use
As of SAP ECC 6.0, SAP_APPL 600, display and checking of availability are invokable separately in the
Enjoy purchase order and requisition in line with the system behavior on the Sales side.
You invoke the display and checking of availability in the Enjoy purchase order (transaction code
ME21N) and the Enjoy purchase requisition (transaction code ME51N) as follows:
- To display the availability overview, choose Environment -> Availability
- To check availability, choose the Check Availability icon.
13.6.16.3 System Behavior After Availability Check for an Item (Changed)
Use
If you carry out the availability check for an item of a stock transport order, hitherto the system adopted
confirmations as per the desired date/time only.
SAP AG 30
______________________________________________________S_A_P_-S_y_s_te_m_
As of SAP ECC 6.0, SAP_APPL 600, you can define in Customizing how the system reacts if the desired
quantity cannot be confirmed for the desired date/time.
You have a choice of two settings:
- Confirmation as per desired date/time
This is the standard setting and corresponds to previous system behavior.
- Delivery proposal
- Full confirmation
Effects on Customizing
You make the settings in the Rule for Adoption of ATP Results in Purchasing field in Customizing for

Make to order stock delivery issue

hi sap guys
i m creating delivery for make to order stock, when after creating order i try to do vl01n it gives error that * No deliveryrelated items ,no shedule lines due for given date
and in sales order when i check shedule line it shows confirm quanty 0 .
so plse help- wht could be the reason for this
is there any settings or different item category
points will be rewarded

First create an order and save. As it is an Make-to-order item, a Assembly order is generated from the Sales order, which you can find in the Schedule line of item > "Procurement" .
Click on the" procurement" button below the screen, there you will find a Assembly order no.
Presently ,you do not have stock of the MTO material. Once it is assembled, you will receive into your stock against this assembly order.
So, receive the stock in your plant.
Now if you will check the availability, you will find stock is available under "Sales order stock".
You can go for Picking & then PGI.
After PGI, the MTO stock (Sales order stock) is finished, beacuse we do not produce extra as it can not be supplied to other customer.

Availibility checking rule populates from the availibilty maitined in your material master.
i.e 01 Daily requirements
     02 Individual requirements
If you go to transaction OVZ9
you will see the assignment of checking rule against 01 & 02.
e.g 01 A SD order
      01 B SD Delivery
      01 AE Make to order Stock
I Think This will clear your doubt.

You cannot make an assignment to make-to-order stock - Message no. CO684

Hi,
During conversion of planned order to production order in variant configuration scenario I am getting following error message....
You cannot make an assignment to make-to-order stock
Message no. CO684
Diagnosis
The component cannot be allocated to an individual stock because make-to-order production and engineer-to-order production cannot be executed with this order.
A possible cause is that you are trying to create an order with reference to a sales-order/project, where an account assignment to a sales order/project is not allowed in the settlement profile that is assigned to the chosen order type. This is inconsistent.
System response
The following responses are possible:
Order processing is canceled.
The system resets the special stock indicator back to the original value.
Procedure
Choose another order type.
Any ideas or suggestions to correct this issue..
Pavan

Hi Pavan,
This is one of the most common problem comes during MTO execution.And the real problem is massage no itself because you will get the same massage no. for many reason and that's it becomes more difficult to find out root cause.
Check below threads and settings,
- Order type for MTO is not maintain in Production scheduling Profile.Go OPKP or CORY and maintain Order type for MTO to it.

Availability check control - how to include stock in transit (frm 351 mvmt)

We are trying to adjust the config on the availability check control settings to include intransit stock (settings in OVZ9 spro t-code).
This is stock that we have processed into intransit in the receiving plant via movment 351. (MARC-TRAME).
Is there a way to change the availability check settings to include this stock? I would like my sales orders to see this instranit stock as available. I have tried using the StockIn Transfer flag (under Stocks category) and also tried using Incl.rel.order reqs falg (In/outward movments category).
Appreciate any feedback.

(You cannot make an assignment to make-to-order stock ) in variant Config

Hello Gurus,
I configured variant and executed. system generates Planned order and when i tried to convert Plnd order to prd order its give me message (You cannot make an assignment to make-to-order stock)
please let me know where i'm making mistake.
Thanks

Hi,
Check ur planned order and the master data of it if there assignment of the sales order is there then the system will allow you to convert this into production order.
check ur settlement profile assigned to ur order type.
Go to -
>md12-->put planned order num.----> go to master data -
> there you will find the sales order assigned to that order .
Then check settlement profile assigned for ur order type with standard settlement profile PP01 at OK07
Please use notes 432109.

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.
