Stock reserver for sales order

[Former Member]

Dear All

1. MMBE-Check the stock with batch no 6000000340 with 200 qty

2. Sale Order Created-

3. MB1B - Used Movement type 412 E with Inputs such as Sales Order,[warning message: sales order is not provided for this goods movement] after pressing the document is posted

4. In MMBE When i check the stock under batch no 6000000340 with 150 qty in unrestricted stock and Sales order Stock i can see the 50 quantity stock

Query is

1. Why the 50 quantity stock which is reserved for Sales order stock is seen under unrestricted stock and not under Reserved tab

2. When i create delivery with the same material and batch no, the stock is reduced from unrestricted stock[150 -10delivery qty] = its showing 140 qty, but stock should be reduced from 50 quantity which i have reserved for Sales order.

Please guide

Sandeep Bhomwick,

1.

You are likely to get the warning message because the planning strategy of your material (MRP3 view of material master) is not suitable to handle the stock via "E" special stock segment.

If you are in MTS environment (e.g. strategy group 10, 11, 40), you can ship out the goods from unrestricted-use stock w/o any special stock segment like "E".

If you are in MTO environment (e.g. strategy group 20), SAP will use special stock "E" automatically,and you cannot ship out the goods from normal unrestricted-use stock.

If your strategy group is maintained properly SAP will use the proper item category&settings in SO.

2.

Generally, you won't make any reservation for your SO.

In MTS environment you ship out from normal unrestricted-use stock and you cannot make any reservation for your SO.

In MTO sceanrio the stock is located in special stock segment "E" and that's why no other SO can use it.

But forget the "Reserved" column in MMBE since it is not a stock type at all, it reports on reservation. MMBE contains several columns that have nothing to with stocks but infnform you on the actual planning situation.

In my opinion you should use MD04 in order to get a fuller picture...

Hi

This is because the sales order is created without the item category (sales order item category) being marked as special stock indicator as E while order creation in VA01

If you had marked, then you would not have received the warning message which you mentioned

while performing tcode MB1B while doing reservation

Now if U mark item category with special stock indicator as E and test it the existing order then also it will have the same error or same problem of system doesnot sensing the reservation in MB1B with movement type 412 E

Reservation in MB1B is done with special stock indicator E for sales order

But the same sales order is not created with special stock indicator E in VA01 during creation

There is a mismatch

Hence the error will still be on

Test it with a entirely new cycle order--reservation-then delivery after making changes in VOV7

To correct the mistake already done in t code MB1B movement type 411 E the stocks will once again go to unrestricted

Hi

Thanks for the reply. Still my issue is

1. Why the 50 quantity stock which is reserved for Sales order stock is seen under unrestricted stock and not under Reserved tab

hello,

the logic for sales order stock is there should be some object where this stock is to be stored. as explainde in earlier posts , the object is the item category and the setting E which enables sap to store the stock.

since in your case this setting is missing , the system does not alocate the sotck to sales order but places it in generic unrestricted mode

only when there is the E indicator , the system understands this is for particular order and items

hope this helps

Thanks

Hi Sandeep

Visualize this scenario

Material is pen in MMBE unrestricted stocks is 100

Sales order created with item cat TAN with special stock indicator E not marked and the order no is say 55 for 10 qty

Now you are reserving stocks in t code MB1B with movement type 412 E inputting the order no xx and saving it

Now in MMBE put the material as pen and input plant and storage location etc press F8

unrestricted stocks will be 90

Sales order stocks will be 10

If you click on the details of this sales order stocks you will see the order no xx and qty will be 10

(read your first post exactly the same of this)

now are delivering the sales order and doing the pgi

Now in MMBE

unrestricted stocks will be 80

Sales order stocks will be 10 (this exactly is your problem)

that means the system having a reservation in MMBE for a particular sales order xx not utilizing those stocks and still takes the stocks from the unrestricted and this is wrong

This is happening because the item cat TAN is not marked with special stock indicator E during order creation of xx

Now mark the item cat TAN with special stock indicator E and create a fresh cycle say order no yy

When you do PGI for order no yy the unrestricted will be 90 and there wont be any sales order stocks as the stocks are already PGIed

That means the system picks up the correct stocks for delivery

The system behaves very perfectly When there is sales order stocks in MMBE i dont understand ,what is the reservation you are talking about

Hi,

It's because you haven't marked the item category for special stock indicator.Mark your item category for special stock indicator E then your problem will be resolved.
