Hi,

There are 3 types of availability checks:

- Check on the basis of the ATP quantities

- Check against product allocation

- Check against planning

Availability check at delivery level can be configured through following:

Delivery item category

The delivery item category can be used to control whether an availability check takes

place in deliveries.

Requirements type

The various requirements are identified by their requirements type. The requirements

type refers to the requirements class and its control features. it is assigned to requirement class.

-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.

Replenishment lead time is only included in the check performed on the basis of the

ATP quantity.

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 theavailability 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

Configuring entries of the Availability CheckIMGàSDàBasic fncsàAvailability check and TORàAvailability checkàAvailability check with ATP logic or against planningàDefine checking groups

You can use SAP std checking groups of 01 for summarized reqts or 02 for daily reqts or u can create ur own.

The columns total sales and total deliveries are selection options whereby u can configure a checking rule to sum up reqts to post to MRP either individually or by day or week.

Column 5, Block qty; set this block if u want several users to be able to process the material simultaneously in different transactions without blocking each other. The No Check indicator is used when u want a material to not be relevant for an ATP check.

Defining a material block for other users. The Block checkbox is an indicator that enables u to block the particular material from being checked for availability if it is already being checked at the same time by another user.Defining the default value for checking groups. However should no entry exist for the checking group in the material master record, one can set a default value per material type and plant.

Controlling the availability check. In this section, u 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. 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 sd transaction. The carry out control for the availability check must be maintained for both the sales order and delivery.

Hope this summarizes your requirement.

We can discuss if you have any other requirements.

Hi,

When you create the delivery for a sales order, the sales order requirement is reduced by the delivery quantity. A delivery requirement which is transferred to material requirements planning is created at the same time.You can define whether delivery requirements are managed as individual or collective requirements.

How to control availability check in delivery.Below mentioned are the prerequisites.

1)Control elements for the availability check must be maintained in Customizing and appropriately assigned to the sales and distribution transactions

2)The availability check and the transfer of requirements must be switched on at requirements class level and may not be deactvated at item level.

3)A plant must be defined at document item level

4)A checking group must be defined in the material master record on the Sales/plant data screen in the Availability check field

The following elements can be taken into account during an availability check in the delivery:

-->Stock

safety stock

stock in transfer

quality inspection

blocked stock

-->Inward/Outward movement of goods

purchase orders

purchase requisitions

planned orders

production orders

reservations

dependent reservationsdependent requirements

sales requirements

delivery requirements

Above mentioned is an overview of how availability check is carried out in delivery.

Hi

Certain items are always not available in your organisation or suppose you have created an Sales order last week .

As availability check is conducted during Sales order processing, therefore when you created the order, system had performed delivery scheduling and given a confirm delivery date.

suppose, material vailability date was in last week , but I had not process the Delivery and to-day I am processing the Delivery.

But, the delivery scenario maight have changed in between, may be some other branch has already taken the goods.

Therefore, I want that, my system should check the availability while creating the Delivery.

If required, it is activated for each Delivery Item category(OVLP) in the "AvailCkOff" field and at the same time in the Delivery Type(OVLK) also we put appropriate value in the "Rescheduling" field.

This availability check is also assigned in customisation(0VZ9) for the 'CHECKING GROUP" and "CHECKING RULE".

Hi

To have availability check at delivery first in tcode 0VLP or ( Zero VLP) for the item category availability check has to be activated

In that case in delivery system checks with the combination of B SD delivery and the checking group defined in MMR and the controls set in OVZ9 for that combination
