Hi Gurus,

In the customizing for checking group we have a column like "Accumul" and we have four options there. They are

0 No cumulation

1 Cumulation of confirmed quantity when created and changed

2 Required quantity when created, no cumulation when changed

3 Required quantity when created, conf. qty when changed

Can any one please explain what is the difference between option"1" and option "3".

Thanks in advance and all responses will be rewarded with points.

Regards,

Jejesh.

Hi,

ATP check with cumulation can happen in 2 ways

A) Check taking cumulated confirmed quantities into account

In the availability check in the sales order, the system takes the sum of all previously confirmed quantities into account when calculating the cumulated ATP quantity. This means that new sales orders can only be confirmed if the sum of all receipts exceeds the sum of the confirmed quantities.

B) Check taking cumulated requirements quantities into account

In the availability check in the sales order, the system takes the sum of all open requirements quantities to date into account when calculating the cumulated ATP quantity. This means that new sales orders can only be confirmed if the sum of all receipts exceeds the sum of all requirements quantities.

When you choose key 1 in Accumulation field of checking group defn in OVZ2,

It follows method A described above when both creating and changing sales order /production order.

When you choose key 3 it follows method B while creation and method A while making changes to the sales order/production order.

Good explanation,

For Accumulation rule 3 (option B), if the sales order checking rule takes dep. requirements into account, why is the requirement quantities only considered when creating and not when changing?

An example. There is a planned receipt for 1000pcs, followed by subcon requiments for 500pcs, leaving 500pcs available for sales.

On sales line creation anything over 500pcs will be proposed after the next planned receipt. But if the line is subsequently changed, even if it's over 500pcs, it will be confirmed up to 1000pcs because dependent requirements are only required and not confirmed.

How can sales line changes account for non-sales requirements?
