ATP for deliveries

[Former Member]

Hi,

I want to know how to set up ATP for deliveries.

Can ATP enabled at the order entry level AND at the delivery stage?

When a delivery is created, stock is in the D tab in stock requirement list- which indicates that requirement and stock is in delivery.

If ATP is enabled at this point- does that mean we can still re shuffle the stock at that point?

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

You can activate availability check at delivery level too.

1) In OVZ9, maintain the combination of 02 and B for deliveries since the checking rule in deliveries is B.

2) Unlike the answer given by someone else before, you cannot activate ATP by delivery type. You have to activate the ATP at the delivery item category level in OVLP. By default, ATP check is switched on and you can deactivate that by item categories like Stock material and service materials.

3) Regarding you question on shuffling the quantities, always remember the fact the when you create a delivery, stocks are ALWAYS HARD COMMITTED. That means you cannot now allocate the stock to anything else unlike sales order. That is the reason why Deliveries are never a part of Rescheduling or backorder processing. In fact, we use this fact to reserve stocks for important customers by creating a dummy delivery so that stocks get reserved and no one else can take that.

Hope that helps.

Hi Arijeet,

Thank you for the response.

So basically - ATP can be activated at the SO entry level AND at the point of delivery creation.

Reg the point 3- does it mean that ATP for deliveries is generally used to create dummy deliveries?

Because like you stated, by the time a delivery is created stock is hard allocated- and can only be manually deallocated, rather than shuffle like ATP at SO level?

Just to be clear ATP at the point of delivery - is it like reserving goods for a customer so that stock cannot be used by other SO's?

How can this be configured? Because any way when you create a del- stock IS hard allocated..

Appreciate your response..

Thanks in advance.

Hi

Go to OVLK and select the delivery document type and check the box ATP check , after checking. at delivery level. If you enable ATP check , then when you do delivery and during delivery date , system will check wheather stock is not available or not.

If ATP is enabled at this point it means you can reshuffle the stock based on the shipping conditions
