Sufficient stock but cannot perform availability check

Hi,
There is sufficient stock when I checked from MMBE, but it can't seem to perform the availability check on the sales order for make-to-stock. Why?
Thanks.

Dear Wooi Ling Ng
Assuming your schedule line category is CP, go to VOV6, select CP and see whether "Availability" is ticked. If not, tick that field and retry.
thanks

I am able to rec email from my Iphone but cannot send, have checked smtp address, turned on , now what?

I am able to receive email from Iphone (am on Time werner cable, Roadrunner) but cannot reply or sent email, have checked ip address and turned on system on iphone, anyone have further suggestions?

Time Warner does not have an authenticated SMTP server for RoadRunner accounts, so unless you are connected to Time Warner for internet access via an available wi-fi network, you will have problems sending email with the account or you won't be able to send at all.
Most, if not all internet service providers block the use of SMTP servers that are outside of their network or not provided by the ISP being used for your internet connection at the time unless the SMTP server is authenticated. This restriction is part of an overall effort to prevent spam emanating from an ISP's domain which probably doesn't help much in preventing spam since the majority of spam emanates from PCs running that swiss cheese for security OS that is Windows that have being taken over remotely.

Sufficient stock but MRP create planned order and purchase requisition .

Hi Expert,
After MRP run planned order and purchase requisition created . but the problem is for child material sufficient is there but still PR and plnd order is created .
MRP type PD, LOT size EX,Strategy group 10, for testing purpose I made safety stock 0, min lot size 0 , max lot size 0.
I cant find the cause why MRP create PR and Pland order for the material which has sufficient stock. Please help.

Dear Anirban
could you check the following master data value:
Lot size -> MB Monthly ( only for test)
Rounding value -> null
Strategy 40 MTS.
You can try with this setting in order to figure out what is the problem.
You can check also orizzon planning and re-scheduling (set to 999).
Let me know if i have been useful for you

Stock transfer between plants - availability check

Hi all,
We are currently facing a scenario, where a Stock transfer Purchase order is created for goods movement between two plants. The outbound delivery was created, but at the time of goods issue, there was a problem of inadequate stock on hand.
I wanted to know whether an availability check happens during an outbound delivery creation. (O/B del type : UL).
If not, then where does SAP check whether there is adequate stock available for the goods movement.
Please respond asap.
Regards,
Krishna

Void the check but cannot print another check by using the same check no.

Dear All,
Our customer need to print the check on number #10.
However, we already print a check by using #10.
Then I void that check and go to house bank and change the 'Next Check No.' to 10.
But the system still print the check on number #11
Please help. Thanks a lot.
The other question is, when I take a look their database, I cannot find check #9. But if I would like to print check#9, the system said it is already in the database. Why? Thanks
Regards.

We test printing check on their production database
So check A printed on check #10 check b#11 check #12 printed on the blank paper.
Then they said they would like to print the real check from number #10. But the system will not allow us to do that. It ask us start from #13.
So, they decide to write the check manually for check #10, check #11, check #12. Then they will have 3 checks in the system they didn't print it. And next time, they can start from #13.
The problem is, for the 3 checks they write manually, the system didn't print it. So, every time, they are showing on 'to be printed' list (actually our customer write it manually). What should we do to block those 3 checks if they don't want to void it? Thanks.

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.

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

Material Availability check during work order creation and Release

Hello All,
We are checking material availability at creation as well as release
Say we have Material XYZ=100 in stock MMBE
Now XYZ =100 is say at normal storage location =75
and scrap storage location=05 and serviceable =20
Currently when availability check is performed it checks for 95 (It excludes scrap storage location 05 )
but we want Availability check to be only for normal stock =75 and not for Serviceable and Scrap location
how to do this in configuration or via exits
Since if the material is under Scrap location it is not counting in Availability check at work order creation this logic is working fine but I do know from where this control is put that when the material is in the stock of scrap it is not counting in Availability check for work orders.Same thing I want to extend it to Serviceable stock .
Why not it is consider it for Scrap storage location , what is config or any MM enhancement
So that when Availability check run it will not consider Materials at SCRAP as well as SERVISABLE storage location also.
Please have your views on this
Regards
pratap

Hello
There are two option for your requiement
1. Changing the status of the servisable storage location stock to restricted use stock . You can include or exclude this stock status material in OPJJ. This solution is not storage location dependent. It is stock status dependent.
2. Please refer the enhancement for the storage location determination. I am not sure about this funtionality:
For production orders the following enhancement is available:
PPCO0005 enhancement for storage loc. determination/backflushing
You can use this enhancement to change the storage location and the indicator 'backflushing' in the reservation.
The enhancement PPCO0005 contains the following enhancement components:
Function exit
EXIT_SAPLCOSD_001 storage location determination/backflushing
You can find the description in modification text of the function exit.
You can find an example of the user exit in the function group XC01 in the include LXCO1F05.

Availability Check in Sales Order

Hi,
We had configured MRP Area for a Storage Location. In MTO Scenario (Strategy Group 20) we had enabled 'Automatic Planning' indicator in 'Define Requirements Class' 040.
We then created a Sales Order (Order Type OR) specifying the above Storage Location. The Storage Location has sufficient Unrestricted Stock also.
After saving the Sales Order, PR is getting created automatically despite Stock availability in this Storage Location.
Is there a way to perform Availability check on Unrestricted Stock in the above scenario ? Request any other way to handle this requirement.
Thanks.
Raj

Hi rajkumar
1st of all , in MTO scenario , we need a special stock and not a unresticted use stock . bcoz in MTO , 1st sd condultant will raise the sales order then they will send it to MRP controller then they will send to PP consultants and if any material is to be procured externally then PO is raised and then finally a special stock is created
secondly , the scenario what you said may be applicable in MTS. scenario. so check the requirement class for MTS , weather the automatic planning is on or not. and the strategy group for MTS is 10 or 11and the requirement class is 41.
Regards
Srinath

Availability check at Warehouse level.

We are creating Automatic Delivery and Pick Transfer Order from the Sales Order. Now when availability check is run at IM level stock is present.
But, In Warehouse some bins are blocked for stock removal .
So, Transfer Order is getting created for only stock available in WH.
Question: Can I create a storage type (maybe interim) that stores the returned and blocked stock and such that this stock would not be considered for Availability check?
Please advise.
Thanks, Rohit.

Hi
The simple answer is NO because wherever you put the stock in WM the availability check only looks at IM and if it is available you will not have a problem until you come to pick it.
There are two options I can think of to prevent this.
1. Create another St Location and transfer the stock that you cannot use to this st location - however this can be very messy.
2. The easiest way is if there is stock that you cannot pick in WM because it is Genuinely unavailable then 'Block' the stock and place it on Status 'S' in both IM and WM and then the availability check will not see it.
If however the stock is ok and it is only the block on the bin that is stopping you picking it then either remove the block or move the stock somewhere else.
I hope that this helps

How can a qm-lot be excluded from availability check?

Hi experts,
in oppj I can exclude "stock in quality inspection" from availability check, but the qm lots are still handled as fixed receipts. This is ok, because the qm lots are not a stock. But the availability check shows available quantity and this is, what I don't want!
The question is: "How can qm-lots be excluded from availability check?"
Thanks for your help!
SAP Anwender

Dear,
when you talk about QM lot,
QM lot is created during PO GR or Production order GR. Hence before the GR, MRP showes a recipt is expected and recipt element is either production order or PO.
Now even after GR, system removes the PO/Production order and increase the stock.
Hence in availability check if you decativate QM stock, this stock will not be considered, if to be con sidered, then active the QM stock.

Program position with any currency for availability check - PS/IM

Hi,
I have the following scenario:
1. Controlling area currency is USD. Local currency is BRL. We do purchase req.(CJ20n) for materials and services in USD, BRL and EUR. The P.O. is done in a second moment through MM.
2. Investment program uses USD for checking availability control. The currency for any program position is also USD.
3. System performs the availability control using exchange rate cat. "M" in OB08. We buy within one of those 3 currencies (USD, BRL and EUR), it translates to USD, and then we see how much was committed in USD.
Because of these differences between dates in exchange rates, the client wants the system to perform availability check with any currency.
For exemple: if we have USD 1000 in program position on 04.15.09 at rate of BRL 2,40 we would have BRL 2400 to purchase. If the P.O. is posted in a different date with a different exchange rate we would have more (or less) value to purchase depending on the rate, say 06.15.09 rate is 3,0 we would have BRL 3000 in local currency.
The client doesn't want this to happen. they want to commit only the first value.
They want that in IM program position would have for branch XYZ 3 different limits, one for each currency say 1000 USD, 2000 BRL and 1000 EUR. When P.R. is done it would check what currency is buying, perform availabilty check and then commit only the value requested and avoid increase or decrease values in local currency.
As long as I know IM standard doesn't work this way. Some thoughts and ideas would be a great help.
Best Regards,
Ubiratan Chaves.

Hi Ubiratan,
I understand that you are doing availability control on USD (controlling area currency), although the statement in your point 2. should be corrected - the availability control is not tied to the IM program but to the budget profile used in the project...
Availability control per transaction currency is not possible...you can have availability in controlling area currency, as you have...or in object currency (which for a project in your case would have to be local currency)...you can try this, but it only works if your project hierarchy is using the same currency (I just faced a similar issue and had to also use USD because the proejct had multicurrency WBS in it...)
Bottom line...maybe you can try "adjust" the budget to the currency fluctuations with transaction IMCRC3...the idea would be to use a specific exchange rate type that has the current exchange rate and run this transaction to "trim" the budget to the real exchange rate...
hope it helps,
Luis

Drop ship - SO- availability check - PR

Hello,
Our client wants the drop ship scenario as follow:
Create sales order which will trigger PR ceation. But the thing is when you create SO, system should perfom the availability check and based on results should create PR. (e.g. if material is not available in the original plant but available in other plant, system should propose that plant as a vendor and create third party STR)
So, first thing whether this can be done in SAP? and second thing if yes then how to configure the availability check during SO to PR creation ?
Thanks in Advance,
Pat

Vladimir,
I want the drop ship in which when you create SO, before selecting the vendor, system should perform availability check for plants. If material is not available in the plants ( nearest plant) then system should select the vendor who will ship the material to customer directly.

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?

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
