stock reservation against a sales order

[Former Member]

Dear Friends,

we have a requirement that the system should allow delivery of a material even if the stock is reserved against another order.

For ex: say the stock of the material is 100 qty .sales order 1 for material A -100 saved in the system. sales order2 for material A-50.

as we create the first sales order for 100 qty the stock gets reserved for that sales order.But we have to delivery the sales order2 earlier than the sales order1.so when we do delivery the system blocks the delivery.we know this is a std functionality

Availiblity check used is 02 here.

But we dont want the system to create reservation and allow us to deliver the sales order2 before sales order1

pleas suggest

Thanks

Normally you should use backorder Processing in this case, but there are other work arounds. I wouldn't suggest to play with avaialability checking unless you really know what you are doing. Fundamentally, the system will allocate stock in First come first served basis. If you set total replenishment lead time in the material, the system will always confirm the sales order based on the avaialability, in worst case this is after the total replenishment lead time. As long as the sales order has a confirmation date, you can create the delivery using VL01N, enter the data confirmed in the sales order as the delivery date. The delivery is created - then you should chnage the dates in the delivery to the actual delivery date, this includes planned delivery date, picking, loading and transportation dates, otherwise all delivery reports will not show this delivery fro processing till the planned dates are reached.

Another way is to reject the line in the original order, then recheck availability in the second order and deliver it. Afterwards remove the rejection status in the first order, it will then reschedule according to the new availaibility. This is a kind of manual backorder processing.

Hi,

Even if your stock is reserved against forst sales order & u want to deliver second sales order then,

See the schedule line date of second order,

in VL01N intial screen put that date as Selection date,& order number, then you will be able to create delivery for second order.

Note : It works in Make to stock scenario

Go to OVZ9, select the combination 02 / A and execute. There untick the box against "Include sales reqmts".

Dear Lakshimpathi,

Thanks for the reply.We had already done and checked your solution.Its not working.

Our scenario is say Material A is 1020 qty in stock. we create a sales order 1 of qty 900 and after another sales order 2 is created with qty 400. Now since in OVZ9 its unticked the system does'nt do the availibility check during creation of sales order 2.

Now when we want to create the delivery of sales order 2 since the stock is still as 1020.the system doesnt allow to do delivery creation as we get an error as "Only 120 BOX of material A available.

We want to deliver the 400 qty for second sales order.Is there any other option apart from back order processing?

Please suggest

Thanks

since in OVZ9 its unticked the system does'nt do the availibility
    check during creation of sales order 2.

No you are wrong. System will do availability check and confirm for the sale order depending upon the stock available. In case it is not happening for you, you need to check the schedule line category where for the schedule line category that flows to your sale order, the box "Availability" is ticked.

Thanks Lakshmipathi,

By saying the system doesnt do availibilty check was that when we create the second order for 400 in normal situation (when OVZ9 is ticked for sales reqmnt) the system shows us the availiblity screen with that only 120 is availbale in stock and when we unticked the system takes the stock of 400 as confirmed qty and the schedule line cat is CP.

But when the second sales order is taken first for delivery the system says only 120 qty available and in the delivery transaction it shows as 120 qty as delivery qty and doesnt copy from the sales order. And when we change the delivery qty as 400 and try to input 400 qty as pick qty the system says only 120 qty available for delivery(i.e total stock 1020 - sales order1qty 900 = 120 qty for delivery during second sales order)

Hope its clear now.Please suggest whats missing.
