SAPSD,

Here is the description given in SAP Help for checking group,

• 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.

Hope it will clear yur doubt.

Thanks,

Raja

SAP SD,

The checking rule in sales order is determined by the Checking group maintained in Material master.

The idea of maintaining the avialability checking group in Sales/General plant is i guess is used at sales order level,that is whether materials are required for individual requirement or daily etc.

MRP3 view's Checking rule is basically used for Production order, some times they run MRP by combining different sales orders.

Thanks,

Hello,

You need not maintain it separately as it refers same table name MARC-MTVFP in both views,that means you have to maintain either of one and the same will replicate to other view.

Now Your Question is why it is required.

Checking Group for Availability check field has two uses:

1. Specifies whether and how the system checks availability and generates requirements for materials planning.

2. In Flexible Planning, defines - together with the checking rule - the different MRP elements that make up this key figure. The sum of these elements gives the key figure.

Use 1: Availability Checking and Materials Planning

The value you enter for use 1 (see above) is a default value which defines:

Which MRP elements (for example, purchase orders, reservations) the system includes in the availability check

Whether the system checks availability only until the end of the replenishment lead time or whether it checks availability over the entire period for which MRP elements exist

Whether the system generates individual requirements or summarized requirements if you enter sales orders or deliveries for the material

Use 2: Flexible Planning

Dependencies

If you use this field to define the MRP elements of a key figure for Flexible Planning, you must also select Document KF in the Customizing parameters of the information structure.

Revert if not resolved.
