MTO Availability Check-Confirmed stockThis question is Assumed Answered.

Daves DudeApr 25, 2013 12:49 PMHi, I want to make delivery of MTO order, without the need to run the availability check in sale order(VA02) to confirm stock,(but availability check is needed to knw the proposal date in case stock is not readily available when creating sale order) if the stock related to that sale order is available in stock and should be able to do delivery based on the stock availability for that particular sale order, rather then do availability check each and every time in sale order and then do delivery. Pls suggest... Regards,DHelpful Answer by Dogboy 49

You could change your MTO sales order availability check to confirm against lead time during Sales order entry.  No further ATP checking is required.  Your ATP check for deliveries should not include lead time. Once the MTO stock is in place, the delivery creation process will pass the ATP check and the delivery can be created. Another option is Assemble to Order, which is a special type of MTO processing.  In this case you can perform a very accurate confirmation without  resorting to 'lead time' confirmations during Sales order entryhttp://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_04/helpdata/EN/41/191eab45fd11d188ff0000e8322f96/frameset.htm Best Regards,DB49

Hi DB49, Sorry for the late reply to your response, cause i was trying your inputs... "Avaliabity chck to confrm agst lead time during sales ordr entry"- by this do you mean "Carry out control For Availability check" where the field- "Check without RLT' is unchecked in Sales and checked in delivery?   Regards,DD

Re: MTO Availability Check-Confirmed stock

Dogboy 49 Apr 29, 2013 2:06 PM (in response to Daves Dude)DD,What I said was that the sales order is confirmed during order entry (when the order is created).  No additional availability check of the sales order is thereafter required. So, for standard MTO (not assemble-to-order):Order is entered today. Order confirms at lead time, say June 1.You begin to the process to obtain the FGs parts, with an expected Goods Issue date of June 1.At some point between now and June 1, the Production or Purchase order is executed, and materials are received into stock.On June 1, you deliver the order.  In the above scenario, no additional ATP is required.  During creation of the delivery, ATP is automatically executed against the stock by the delivery creation program. Naturally, Delivery is not possible if there is inadequate stock to pass a BE ATP. Material Strategy group is 82...System is not showing the partial confirmation for when there is stock for 50 qty out of 100 order qty

This is ATO.  In ATO, there is no Stock for FGs prior to creation of the sales order, so we can exclude this situation from consideration.  All FGs are created by the assembly order linked to the Sales doc.  My assumption was that your original question was about simple MTO.  Are you now saying that your original question was about ATO?

Not able to do delivery without doing availability check, even though the sale stock for tht item is available in system.2. Req Delivery date: if suppose order is created today (29.04.2013) user may punch Req Delvry Date as (31.05.2013), but they want to dispatch the goods befre that date, and system is not allowing it until we chnge the Req Delvry date manually... Which they are not ready to do. Pls suggest.... Regards,DD

Helpful AnswerRe: MTO Availability Check-Confirmed stock

Dogboy 49 May 13, 2013 9:23 PM (in response to Daves Dude)DD,In standard ATO/82, the initial sales order confirmation is created based upon the availability check of the components in the FGs production order.  No further ATP should be required to deliver the order. So, for standard ATO here is a typical cycle:Order is entered today, requested date of today.

System automatically creates a production order during sales order entry, with automatic scheduling and automatic availability check of components within the production order. The production order passes the finish date back to the Sales order, and the sales order is confirmed based upon this date. For the purpose of this scenario, let us assume that the production order components are available on May 22, and the routing of the production order creates a scheduled duration of one working week.  The ATP'd production order therefore has a scheduled start date of May 22 and a scheduled finish date of May 29.  The finish date is passed back to the sales order for a Material Availability date of May 29 and the Sales order is confirmed.  This is all done automatically during sales order entry.When the production order components become available, factory people issue the components to the production order; presumably on the planned start date of May 22.Factory processes the production order; and at some point the production order is completed; Finished goods are received into stock.  Presumably this happens on or before May 29.On May 29, you deliver the order.  No additional ATP on the sales order is normally necessary.Many differences from this typical cycle are possible with configuration and master data changes. For your question 2, this is a policy issue.  The 'Req Delivery' date represents the date that the customer wants the product.  If the user enters a date of May 31, then presumably the customer wants the product on this date, and not earlier or later.  If the customer actually wants the product earlier, the normal practice is for the Sales Order entry person to enter that date.  In general, if you are using Availability check, SAP will be very reluctant to allow delivery of a sales order earlier than the Requested date. Best Regards,DB49

Availability Check : Confirm Quantity becomes zero when insufficient stockThis question has been Answered.

Mahendra JaniSep 20, 2013 1:59 AMHi Team, I am facing an issue where Confirmed quantity becomes ZERO in sales order when there is insufficient stock. Here is what I have done: Material Code : FGABC01Qty : 11496 Carton Created order with quantity 11500 carton SAVED.

 1. Executed transaction VKM3.2. Upon displaying the order, the confirm quantity of the material is ZERO.3. If I reduce quantity to 11496 or less then system confirms Order and Partial

deliveries also allows. There is No Credit or any other Block.Checked part.dlv./item status which shows BLANK (Partial Delivery allowed). Please help me to understand reason of this standard system behavior and suggest how to stop this. Regards, MJ.

Correct Answer by TW Typewriter  on Sep 21, 2013 6:57 PMMJ, In your OVZ9 settings, deactivate field "Check without RLT" (make this field blank). And then test again. I think by changing the above configuration step, the issue shall be solved. Please paste the screenshots of the test. Added - To get more clarity in testing, in the material master record in Tab MRP3, field "Tot. repl lead time" give 2 (or some non-zero value).And then do the entire flow (starting with checking CO09, sales order creation etc.)

Probably not related to delivery block in the sales order.When the quantity is reduced to 11496, then the qty is confirmed. If the issue was related to delivery block then niether 11500 nor 11496 qty would have been confirmed.

Re: Availability Check : Confirm Quantity becomes zero when insufficient stock

Ravi Sankar Sep 20, 2013 8:15 AM (in response to TW Typewriter)TW, Here the issue I suspect is...when the confirmation was blocked...the confirmed quantity will be zero. After releasing the document in VKM3...the quantities will not be confirmed automatically. When he is changing the quantity, the availability check will be triggered again (and the credit check also) and confirming the quantities since the credit block is not applied for a quantity less than 11500. This is just a pointer for the OP to check. Just like changing quantity to 11496...he should also check what is happening if the quantity is changed to 11501. Also, if the reason is due to ATP quantities, normally system should create multiple schedule lines confirming quantities for different dates. This point can be analysed in detail if the above check fails.

Re: Availability Check : Confirm Quantity becomes zero when insufficient stock

Mahendra Jani Sep 21, 2013 5:48 PM (in response to TW Typewriter)Hi All, Below are the details and Order which I have freshly executed right now. Stock Availability in CO09 before execution of the Sales Order. 

I created Sales Order which I want to send right now, so My RDD of Order is today's date. 

System Immediately gave me Pop Up of availability check. And confirmed 9402 Quantity.

after the same Order went to Block because Customer does not have any credit. so it Blocked the order. I released Sales Order with VKM3. And in SO quantity has become Zero. 

Now If I again do Availability check manually in VA02 system again send the Order in Credit Block. Please note. Customer do not have any credit. At Header or Item level, partial Delivery or Complete delivery check box or status is not updated.

 

 Request you to help me. I am really confused that why system is behaving this way. I have not done any special configuration in Availability check but system is behaving this way. Requirement Type is KSV determined. I had seen someone else also posting similar issue but had not got the answer.  Regards, MJ

Re: Availability Check : Confirm Quantity becomes zero when insufficient stock

TW Typewriter Sep 21, 2013 6:18 PM (in response to Mahendra Jani)MJ, 

After Credit release, In sales Order that quantity has been confirmed for new Order. In CO09 now quantity is reduced.

 In the Availability check configuration, One time delivery has been selected.That means if the entire sales order, line item qty is not available, for the delivery date given in the sales order; thenzero qty is confirmed by the system. If the ATP qty = 9402 and sales order has qty = 9405; then the system confirms zero qty. In the case of one time delivery. That is exactly what is happening in your case. There are other options e.g. Complete delivery, Delivery proposal. Read about these. Now there are two parts / process steps happening -1. Before the credit check - Some qty is being reserved. You / user is going in to the popup Availability check and selecting the qty = 9402. 2. After the credit check - System is blocking the sales order due to the credit check. After releasing the sales order, the system does an availability check again.Here the system goes for One time check and finds that 9405 qty is not available. Therefore confirming zero qty. If you change the One time delivery to Delivery proposal, then system shall give you multiple schedule lines.Also field "Check without RLT" has to be deactivated. Side comment - Look at vemuri santosh's post (in this thread)

Shiva Ramakrishnan Oct 28, 2011 10:01 PM (in response to ' MoazzaM ')If no confirmation is made in the sales order, then the requirements will not be passed to production/procurement. You can try using Replenishment Lead Time field in the material master, by which you can confirm all the sales order quantity and further during delivery creation only the available quantity can be picked. You need to make sure in t.code OVZ9, check without RLT field must be unchecked.You can also explore backorder processing functionality using t.code V_RA.Regards,

 There is no any link of sale order availability check to Production or procurement in our scenario. I only want to confirm stock in sale order but no reserve. If material A is confirmed against sale order 10001212 then this should not be reserve with this. If i

create another sale order next day and I press availability check button it should confirm the same stock for this too. I just dont wana reserve the stock after availability check.

Re: What is ATP Check ??

Prakash K Apr 27, 2009 7:26 AM (in response to Prasad Patil)Dear friend, ATP stands for Available to Promise. 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. There are three types of availability checks -Check on basis of ATP quantities.Check against product allocation.Check against planning. For more information go through the below thread & help link:https://forums.sdn.sap.com/click.jspa?searchID=4330771&messageID=3829038http://help.sap.com/saphelp_46c/helpdata/en/41/191fdb45fd11d188ff0000e8322f96/frameset.htm  Regards,Keerthi.

Re: What is ATP Check ??

Senthil Mareeswaran Feb 29, 2012 1:45 PM (in response to Prasad Patil)Hi Prasad, ATP is Available to Promise.  ATP check is performed to check the availability of a stock or a receipt element either at a particular location or at globally.  If it is executed globally, it is GATP ie Global Availabile to Promise.  ie When a sales order is entered in the system, system checks the availability date and time by carrying out an ATP check and provide the feasible date and time to the customer who placed the order. The ATP check is available in Production Planning and Detailed Scheduling (PP/DS) for checking the availability of components in an in-house production order. For carrying out ATP check, the following needs to be performed. 

1.      You have made the following settings in Customizing for Global Available-to-Promise (Global ATP):                             a.      You have defined a check mode that links the business event PP with check instructions defined as follows: §         You have set the Rules-Based ATP indicator. §         You have selected the option Immediate Rule Evaluation, Without Previous Check in the Start Immediately field. §         You have set the Use Product Interchangeability Master Data indicator. §         You have selected the option Remaining Requirement According to Product Interchangeability Master Data, or Do not Create Remaining Requirement in the Remaining Requirement field. In the option Create Remaining Requirement According to Product Interchangeability Master Data, the system always creates the remaining requirement on the original component of the order. §         In the Validity Mode field, you have defined whether the system also takes account of the stock and receipt elements of a product that lie before the validity start of the product. If you define that the system can only use the stock and receipt elements of a product whose availability date/time is within the validity period of the product, this has the following consequences: If the product only becomes valid in the future, the system cannot use any product stock that may have existed beforehand.                              b.      You have defined an ATP group and linked it with the business event PP in the check control. In the check control, you have defined which categories the system takes into consideration in the ATP check. You use stock and, if required, also planned receipts, but no product substitution orders.        2.      You have entered the following data on the ATP tab page in the location product master for the products in a supersession chain:  

A check mode as defined above  

An ATP group as defined above  

A display unit of measureATP check can be executed for customer based demand elements wherein the processes like Sales and Distribution Processing (SD-SLS), Planned Order Processing (PP-MRP), Production Order Processing (PP-SFC), Purchasing (MM-PUR), Demand Management (PP-MP-DEM), Inventory Management (MM-IM), Batch Management (LO-BM) are being executed. RegardsR.

Re: What is ATP Check ??

Sreenivasulu Gurijala Apr 27, 2009 7:42 AM (in response to Prasad Patil)Hi,Hi, Availability check : A procedure that ensures that there are enough components available for planned or production orders in production planning and production control. The checking rule specifies the scope of the availability check for the respective transactions in sales and distribution by specifying precisely which stocks, receipt and issue elements should be taken into account during the availability check. Every checking rule is allocated to a checking group: together these two elements determine the final inspection requirements. In addition, the checking rule includes a specification whether or not an availability check should take into account the replenishment lead time. When specifying the inspection scope for a certain checking rule, you can currently select the following receipts and issues: purchase ordersproduction orderspurchase requisitionsplanned ordersdependent requirementsreservationsdependent reservationssales requirementsdelivery requirementsSD requirements (= sales requirements and delivery requirements) reduce an available stock or inward stock movement on the material availability date so that other issues cannot access the reserved quantity. When specifying the inspection scope for a certain check rule, you can currently select the following stock elements: Safety stock (to be maintained in material master record, MRP data)Stock in transfer in the receiving plantStock in quality inspectionBlocked stock  ThanksSreeni

Tibor Nagy Apr 27, 2009 3:22 PM (in response to Prasad Patil)Dear Prasad, In SCM 'atp' is called Global available-to-promse because companies operating worldwide are forced to globalize available information in order to conduct business efficiently.Specifically, this means that information has to be made available across system boundaries as quickly as possible to provide optimized decision support. On the following link you can find in detail what is exactly atp check in SCM (In SCM atp is called Global available-to-promse):http://help.sap.com/saphelp_scm50/helpdata/en/26/c2d63b18bc7e7fe10000000a114084/frameset.htm I hope I could help you.Regards,Tibor

Guest Mar 31, 2008 10:24 PM (in response to Bikash Mishra)hi mishra, try this function module SSF_KRN_ENVELOPE and in availability check you have to know about the following ones... What is Forward and Backward Scheduling?

What do you mean by forward scheduling and backward scheduling? Backward scheduling is the calculation of deadline dates: the arrival time at the customer site is calculated as the earliest possible goods receipt time at the customers unloading point on the requested delivery date. All four of the delivery and transportation scheduling lead times are subtracted from the customer’s requested delivery date to determine if this date can be met. The transit time, loading time, and pick/pack time are subtracted from the customer’s requested delivery date to calculate the required material availability date. The system calculates backward scheduling as follows: Requested delivery date minus transit time  = Goods issue dateGoods issue date minus loading time = Loading dateLoading date minus transportation lead time = Transportation scheduling dateLoading date minus pick/pack time = Material availability date By default, the system will calculate delivery dates the closest day, taking into consideration the working days of the shipping point and a rounding profile. In this case the system assumes a 24 hour work day and lead times can be entered in days up to 2 decimal points.  This is referred to as daily scheduling. Precise scheduling calculated down to the day, hour and minute is supported.  This allows the scheduling of a delivery within a single day.  It is activated by maintaining the working hours for a particular shipping point. Backward scheduling is always carried out first.  If the material availability date or transportation scheduling date is calculated to be in the past, the system must then use forward scheduling. Forward scheduling is also done if no product is available on the material availability date calculated by backward scheduling. The system does an availability check to determine the first possible date when product will be available. This new material availability date forms the starting point for scheduling the remaining activities.  The loading time, pick/pack time, transit time, and transportation lead time are added to the new material availability date to calculate the confirmed delivery date.  availability check and its  how to configuring..  By: rekha | 06 Feb 2008 8:17 am When we create a sales order, there are several basic functions which are executed automatically for the dynamic order management . among these basic functions , availability check and transfer of requirements are crucial. the system first prepares schedule line containing the information on the desired delivery date and quantities , this information is passed to MRP and an avialability check and transfer of requiremnts are executed First the system carries out backward scheduling and establishes the material avaialbility date = desired delivery date-transit time-loading time-picking & packing time and on this date an availability check is carried out using ATP logic which means avialable to promise quanity =total ware house stock+incoing orders-outgoing

Bikash Mishra Apr 1, 2008 5:35 PM (in response to Bikash Mishra)Hi All,         Thank you all for your answers. @Swamy : Your information is helpful. But i am not sure how to implement it in ABAP. I wanted to play safe by calling function modules.

 Regarding the function modules BAPI_MATERIAL_AVAILABILITY, LE_ATP_CHECK_SINGLE, and SSF_KRN_ENVELOPE could you please provide me some sample code to understand the usage ? Regards,Bikash
