Create without stock along with availability check

[Former Member]

We want to use availability check at our sales orders (to confirm the quantity of the order item for the order which has been entered previously - like FIFO / First in first out). On the other hand we need to create delivery (without goods issue) before the materials are at our stock (to get the delivery related print outs to complete the formal processes for our business before the beginning of shipment).

As you know you can't create delivery as long as availability check is active for the items (on the other hand we want the prior order to to have the confirmed quantity with availability check).

What can we do?

Thanks in advance for the answers....

You can create a delivery and save if stock is not available so that system will generate a reference number. Now your requirement is to print this delivery document.

Generally, in IMG, a requirement is set to Delivery Output in such a way that only if delivery is PGId, you can take print. You can manipulate the same.

Go to IMG > Logistics Execution > Shipping > Basic Shipping Functions > Output Control > Output Determination > Maintain Output Determination for outbound deliveries > Maintain output determination procedure. There select the required procedure and click on u201CControl datau201D and check what Requirement is assigned. You have to maintain 3 there and save.

Now try to create a delivery and save without doing PGI and give print. Of course, you need to configure other parameters also related to delivery output.

thanks

You can try any one of the options below;

Option1: In t.code 0VLP, for the delivery item category, keep value blank or A for the field Check quantity 0 field. Then make sure in the sales order item incompletion procedure check (t.code OVA2), the field VBEP-BMENG field is NOT included. By this way, the system will allow to create delivery, even without confirmation in the sales order. However, picking and goods issue can't be done in delivery.

Option 2: If the business process permits, you can think about using replenishment lead time in the material master MRP3 view. By using this, the system can confirm sales order quantity at the end of the lead time.In order to use the replenishment lead time in availability check, in t.code OVZ9, uncheck the box Check without RLT.
