Hi all,

I think TOR can't come first.

Let's assume a simple example at Plant.

Customer places an order for 50 pcs of a material, say XYZ.

The first thing what will one do is to check the quantity available in the stock for that material and if any shortage is there then only the requirement will be passed to prodution.

There will be two cases as a result:

1. Quantity in stock >= quantity ordered

The sales order will be easily executed for delivery of the material to customer.

2. Quantity in stock < quantity ordered

As the quantity in stock is less, a requirement then will be transfered/ passed to production to produce more pieces of the material to meet out the delivery.

So, an avaibality check is always carried out first over TOR.

Thanks & Regards,

Vijay

Nitchel,

The whole process is like water supplying pipeline. And TOR is the main TAP. if the TAP is closed water wont come. Similarly in SAP TOR only passes requirement and then carries the availability check.

So first is TOR then Availability check.

hi

TOR carries out requirements of order to MRP and creates a demand. Once TOR creates a demand with MRP, then

system can carryout availability check for particular material for particular order? During carrying out the

availability check function system tries to determine ATP (Available to Promise) quantity.

Hi,

TOR only happens at the time of saving the sales order whereas Availability happens immidiately after putting the material and hitting enter.

Hope this helps.

Hi,

The availability check trigers first among availability check & TOR.

When you enter a sales order, you can only confirm the delivery of the goods for the required delivery date if the goods are available for all the necessary processing activities which take place before delivery:

1. The shipping department must ensure for sufficient time for packing and loading to be carried out. An availability check can be carried out on the deadline date for availability for the goods.

2. Sales transfers the information on materials ordered as requirements to material requirements planning. Requirements are planned outward movements of stock. The transfer of requirements informs production that goods must be produced, or advises purchasing that purchase requisitions have been created for which purchase orders must be created and sent to the suppliers. An availability check can only be carried out if these requirements are transferred.

Regards,

Vijay
